Around the NFL Week 1!

:D

I'll be heading to Mexico next Sunday, so if I have cocaine in my bag, I'll know it was you.

Happy to report that TSA did not arrest me upon landing. The woman in my row, however, was a tad frosty to me -- much like one would say that the Pacific Ocean is a tad moist. Her reaction, unfortunately, also seemed funny to me, and I was stifling a laugh the rest of the flight (which I suspect she knew). Nothing like suppressed laughter.

Wouldn't plant stuff on you -- would want Mexico to accuse us of sending them our drug dealers, etc.

That's 3 bitches in the 2016 NFL season

If KC took hits like that and there were no calls we'd all be furious. Cam is a big boy and doesn't need daddy to stick up for him, but he's right. There is absolutely no consistency with the refs and it's been going on for years. One of those hits the defender launched his head right into Cam's helmet. Really looked dangerous.

Let's be honest about the hits on Cam.

First of all, the Broncos were head-hunting. That's wrong to begin with.

Secondly, the officials did a horrible job of penalizing the Broncos - and thereby helping to protect Cam - for at least four helmet-to-helmet hits on Cam that I counted.

Thirdly, the NFL once again demonstrated that it is not really serious about player safety by having a neurologist on the sidelines look at a video to determine if Cam was concussed rather than examine the player in person when the player was standing right in front of him! The referee could have called an official's timeout to have Cam looked at on the field if he didn't want to make Carolina take out their starting QB during a last-minute drive.

Also, a non-personal foul penalty should not be allowed to offset the penalty for a head-to-head hit. They are not equivalent. A rule change is needed on that to help protect the players.

Lastly, if that had been one of our sons out there taking that uncalled for beating, I'm betting that most of us would have spoken out about it. I know I would have. Cam's father was actually quite restrained in his comments under the circumstances, IMO.

Today is 9-11. When the national anthem is played today at NFL games, everyone's thoughts should be about the families of the victims and the sacrifices of the first responders on the day of that national tragedy, including sixty police officers who died trying to save others. Today, of all days, we should show our national unity by honoring our flag. Nothing should be done to detract from that on this day.

I recognize that NFL players have the right to demonstrate against injustice, even during our national anthem. But, please, not today. Not on a day when we are honoring, among others, the many valiant police officers who gave their lives for others on 9-11.

I agree but keep your eye's on the SeaHawks today something is going to happen,not sure what.

I heard they are all STANDING ....with arms locked for solidarity

If there is any protest at the Jets game in the Meadowlands today, it is NOT going to go well at all for the protesters. As you know, there are especially deep feelings for the 9-11 victims in the NYC area.
