In discussing the controversy over NFL players protesting white police officers shooting black suspects, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said: “I would probably be lying if I said no.” Research conducted by the CPRC shows that this turmoil didn’t just affect the Steelers, but it had a large and statistically significant effect on teams. The teams that had more players protesting were much more likely to perform poorly relative to the point spreads this past Thursday predicted.

What’s a NFL?
Boo Hoo! The NFL is committing suicide. I hope it dies quickly. Get the mourning over for what once was and get angry for what the entitled multi-millionaire divas turned it into.........
Watching "American Pickers".
This is a team that many Jets fans had picked to go 0-16, mind you. LOL.
Patriots got lucky on Sunday.

Funny, I thought concussions would be the end of the NFL not political correctness.
It wasn't luck. It was some serious help from the officials. The Patriot's idea of a pass pattern is to run up to the defender, push them out of the way and then catch the ball. Legal if the Patriots do it all 5 times, 10 yard penalty the one time the Texans did it.
Recall that key illegal formation penalty that turned 3rd and one into 2nd and 10? Rewind the tape, freeze it and look at the Texans line up. 4 in the backfield, 7 on the line (within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage as defined by rule) and eligible receivers on both ends. Funny how this one time they never said what was illegal about the formation. Wonder why.
I hate to even mention the defensive holding flag that was thrown and then picked up for no good reason. The replay showed the defender clearly held and that it was definitely before the ball was released because you could see that in the background. A first a goal there would have basically iced the game for the Texans.
You can take your pick of the plays that JJ Watt was clearly held and not a single call all game.
unny, I thought concussions would be the end of the NFL not political correctness.
I refused to turn on my beloved dolphins and did not turn on any pregame show or anything NFL yesterday and never will again. Why do some white college players not complain that they have no parity in the NFL,should they not sue to be at least 50-50?
There’s something about rolling around in hate, resentment, covetousness and lies that seriously interferes with performance.

“Unlike the cruel Leonidas who demanded that you stand, I require only that you kneel.”
There is a great meme idea that could go viral - like the Trump/CNN one. Just put (2-14 loser) Colin K’s face on the pervert King of Persia, with almost the words from that movie scene. Xerxes even looks like a modern Social Justice Warrior.

I was glad to read the the Denver donkeys lost to the bills.
The Ravens knelt the entire game.
