The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

I hope Watson likes running around because that's what he'll be doing the entire season. Even if they'd kept Hopkins, it wouldn't have helped their shit offensive line

 

[An Avenging Bird]

Disappointed af in JJ Watt.
I thought he was simpatico to patriotism.
Yet there he is, locking arms with these cry baby bastards disrespecting the flag and middle America.
There's literally nobody anymore in sports you can hang your hat on.

Does anyone have the ratings for last night's game? That's the only thing about the NFL I'm interested in.

JJ Watt is an attention whore who will be on whatever side it takes to make sure the sports media sucks his dick.

It's too early for ratings I think. I would assume after the weekend?

So, come to find out that even rich football players are nothing more than scheming, ghetto idiots when it comes down to it. There's a reason it's called the National Felon League. This asshole took advantage of Covid-19 loans and spent a huge chunk (so far) on bling, bling and more bling. These overpaid thugs are precisely why I haven't watched handegg since the Packers went to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. You can take the nigga out of the hood but you can't take the hood outta da nigga, 'fo sho.

NFL wide receiver Joshua Bellamy is facing a slate of fraud charges for allegedly participating in a scheme to use coronavirus relief funds for personal use, the Justice Department said Thursday.

Bellamy — who was cut by the New York Jets earlier this week — was charged in the Southern District of Florida with wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud. He allegedly obtained a Paycheck Protection Program loan of $1,246,565 for his company, Drip Entertainment LLC, and used more than $104,000 of the funds on luxury goods, including purchases at Dior, Gucci and various jewelers, the department alleges.

Not as bad the NBA, but mixing COVID-19 fear mongering with political nonsense could be enough to make more people tune out.

It's only going to be downhill from here. The cumulative effect will cause more people to tune out as the season goes on, especially as the activism picks up if Trump wins.

Oh it'll crater even further next week. Possibly even this coming Sunday.
Most people watched this first game to see if the propaganda would be as bad as they thought, and when it was confirmed to be even worse then those individuals are going to tune out going forward.

Yeah, but there were a lot of other sports happenings last night where usually opening NFL night only has baseball to compete against. Sunday may provide better examples.

I'm disappointed. I was hoping it would be Fuck The Police.

Let me guess the lyrics.

It's amazing how the sports leagues had such a golden opportunity to have huge ratings this season since if you can't go anywhere and don't have a job, you might as well grab some beer and watch the game, but utterly blew it by delivering consistently garbage product and spewing propaganda no one gives a shit about everywhere. Like even if half the players were minor leaguers and washouts no one ever heard of because half the league was in quarantine at any given time, their ratings still wouldn't be as shit.

At the end of the day, no one wants to be lectured by illiterate millionaires. On anything.

Indeed, that's a risky cocktail for the NFL.

Let's hope Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson won't screw it with the third incarnation of the XFL. Third time the charm?

ROFL. Expect the ratio to get worse as the season drags on.

Lol there ain't shit that's going to happen to the NFL. There are people in this very thread talking out of both sides of their mouths- BLM and the players supporting it are so awful but ya'll still sat there and watched it. If Kiwi Farmers won't give up their handegg do you honestly think normies are? Everyone's going to sit there and guzzle nigger sperm because >muh grilling >muh sports >muh mortgage >muh don't rock the boat
