Id bet on the rams to make the playoffs over the chargers..... St. Louis is a solid team. They came the closest to beating the seahawks in seattle last year of any team that played there, and they beat and tied the 49ers. Again, I see Bradford as being the key to their success.

What can the nfl do to stop brain injury? 2 hand touch?

New helmets and neck guards, I suppose. Keeping out players who have had concussions, until all post-concussive symptoms have abated. In some instances, forcing players with heavy predispositions to concussions to retire. Encouraging parents not to let their children play tackle football until they are at least 10 years of age.


There's actually a lot the NFL can do, now that I think of it, but they are too busy fighting a PR campaign in order to win a court battle to actually entertain the idea of doing what might help.

I hate ESPN. All they do all day is proselytize to me all day about how steroids are bad, and how Johnny Manziel went underage drinking once and why I should give a fuck, and they don't even really do sports commentary anymore.


I don't really care how bad Fox Sports 1 actually is, I am already emotionally invested in it. At least they have Erin Andrews hosting pretty much every show. They really can't lose if they do that.

I stopped watching it a long time ago (outside of the games they broadcast, of course). I miss being able to watch sports programming all day, though. It was sad to put the ESPN down, and I want my 24 hour sports talk again.
 
The only time I ever watch ESPN is when its on at the gym. Usually its one of those shows like "Pardon the Interruption" and it always seems like its a spin off of some FOX news punditry garbage but instead of talking about politics they talk about sports. Its a symptom of the 24 hour channel cycle where there is too much time and not enough content so they fill it with bullshit and people eat it up.

hmmmm?

exactly, it's not news, they should stop treating sports like they're important as a national crisis
most people I know are bored to shit with espn and sick of their aggressive agendas

who the fuck are you and what's up with the childish personal attack? how does calling me out make you feel?
i'm sorry you're unable to relate to me as much as you'd like to....?

stop trying to be different? that has to be the worst advice anyone has ever tried to give me, so, I have difficulty relating to most people, that's something I have to deal with, the fuck is it to you? i'd never have been able to allow the interesting people in my life if I followed some cookie cutter program on being a man


I am who I am, I like what I like based on natural reactions and self assessment; if I wanted to be a sheep following the herd, I would

my father didn't raise me by barking out selfish unsolicited guidelines, I was silently encouraged to apply individual thought, he knew I was paying attention to him and it enabled me to freely develop based on my own interpretations

if I had an open door policy towards who I allowed to influence me, I would be some pathetic tagalong completely void of self actualization

you treasure fine culinary arts and open discuss it, sounds like you're trying a little too hard to show how unique you are....?
should I tell you to stop wasting your time and just eat some simple meat and potato dish like most people do?
no, why the fuck would I want to shame and attempt to change somebody who appears satisfied with their peculiar lifestyle choices?

I have to agree. Idk why but ESPN has such a corny feel... well mostly Sportscenter

and all they talk about about is off field issues, nobody gives a fuck

I don't care if so and so got a DUI, o shit chad johnson smacked his girl, what else is new?
Click to expand...

agree

but if TMZ had a sports channel I'd definitely watch it, I love hearing about off the field drama, you guessed it, the programs on ESPN I enjoy a lot if outside the lines, E:60, and the 30 for 30s

i'm just sick of the arguing and over analysis, it totally feels like they're talking down to the audience

i'm no longer a jim rome diehard, still respect the hell out of him and even more so his radio program

but my new favorite show is petros and money, it's like a sports talk show that mocks sports talk shows, yet the two are extremely knowledgeable, they just choose not to go there, they just hang up on callers who call and try to talk about sports, they're more into giving relationship advice and financial advice using their alter egos lance romance and vance finance

petros is a former RB and captain of USC around '99'00, when he actually takes the time to take the analysis approach, the dude knows what he's talking about, but as soon as he's done talking about he, he'll usually resort to making fun of himself for talking about it....his father and brother were also both Trojan footballers
I can understand why people don't like petros, at first glance you think he's gilbert godfreid,

petros will be working on a ton of fox sports 1 NCAA football games, not sure how he is as on field broadcaster, probably just as bad as everyone else, I hope he doesn't try to be funny, I mean he is brilliantly funny, but his radio schtick probably isn't suitable on TV

and matt money smith works for the NFL network, never caught him on there, pretty sure he's one of their fantasy guys
 
you guys don't understand how good 610 WIP is for a radio program. It is funnier than most of what I read on bluelight, and still manages to always stay somewhat focused on actual sports discussion, not spend half the day discussing Biogenesis or other scandals like that.

And the NFL rewarded him. By suspending him for the preseason.
 
I think its funny thae guys on NFLN I saw today talking about this are acting like he tried to take off Incognito's head and the only reason he didnt was his aim was off and he just happened to miss him. he obviously tore his helmet off in a fit of rage, but stopped himself at the last second from smashing him over the head.

I think he deserves a suspension, but I wouldnt demonize him like they are in the media right now. Incohnito is an insufferable asshole after all, and probably deserves much worse.
 
i kind of miss Richie incognito wearing rams colors

but i was sick of the 15 yard penalties, as was the front office

the best was when rams were in process of signing jake long and Richie tweeted something like ' if your trying to court jake long, who do you tell him that's going to be playing next to him at LG?'

' anybody who won't screw you over with 2 personal fouls and at least one holding call every game'

Leave it to sports media to overreact to something that actually deserves a reaction.




I don't watch sports media anymore, so I had no idea that you guys had already seen those gifs via television screen. I am completely out of touch with regards to what is a national story and what is a regional one.

Yeah, but even NFL players are scared of him. He might lose 15 yards here or there for the team, but it's more than made up for when there's a fumble and some defensive tackle slow plays entering the scuffle because he knows Richie's gonna get him if he goes in there. Opposing teams are less likely to fuck with the skill position guys in general because they know they have to answer to Incognito. He wins the psychological warfare battle for us on offense.

Dahl will be a backup/speacial teamer/informant for us (your defense gave us fits last year).
