lol that dumb site was the worst thing Obama ever did.

The Patriots knew Hernandez was under investigation for murder because the cops interviewed Belichick and Kraft and Caserio. Teams REALLY do not care as long as your on field production is good.

He's too good a kicker for them to outright release him at this point, but he'll probably be given an extremely short leash in case he gets a case of the yips and misses kicks.

The NFL has also "condemned" his statement.

All I can think of to say is that I hate faggots, niggers and trannies so much.

I really don't give a shit about Harrison Butker. I don't agree with what he said, but he has a right to say it and everyone else has a right to rebuke it if they see fit. The NFL is a league filled with women beaters, sexual abusers, and a cacophony of other degenerate behavior, so I don't want to hear them say that their "values" aren't reflected in Butker's statement.

When the next woman beater or rapist comes to light, I hope the NFL treats it the way it should: banishment from the league.

What's weird is they're clearly doing something right to have three straight years of 12-5, it's like somebody puts something in the water starting around New Year's.

They go 5-1 in conference every year because of the NFC East. So they just need to go 7-4 in their non conference schedule and get overhyped

In two of those years, they just had absolutely retarded ways to end games. The other one, they just lost to their historical playoff nemesis.

Maybe if they're a benchwarmer, but we're talking about the same league that welcomed Michael Vick back in with open arms. The bar is on the fucking ground.
 
I'm sure if a certain TE didn't neck himself in jail and got released there would be a team that would have signed him.

Hernandez killed multiple people in cold blood, he wasn't leaving prison anytime within his playing career, and even if he was, he wasn't getting signed again. Michael Vick running a dogfighting ring was as bad a crime that the NFL will probably ever tolerate in terms of letting a ex-con back into the league, and that only happened because Vick served his time, repented, and spent most of his non-football hours working with the Humane Society doing anti-dogfighting education among urban teens.

And that's what most people don't understand. Michael Vick being welcomed back into the league was a result of him taking responsibility for his crimes, serving his sentence, and working to get back. He was never as great of a player as he once was, but he ended up having a decent career. Someone like Hernandez, had he not killed himself, was going to rot in prison. But most people - the casual fans - are always going to see it as hypocrisy.

Well, consider an alternate universe where he's acquitted because of a technicality (like the cops fucking up evidence collection.)

I think he still gets to play. The black community in Atlanta's take on this was basically "why is he involved in dumb hood nigger shit" instead of any sort of moral outrage. Who knows, though.

To be fair, Atlanta asking why he did dumb nigger shit is how Atlanta shows moral outrage.
Also that reminded me when Pittsburgh had some protest when Vick went there due to the dogfighting thing, which is hilarious considering the Rothlisburger stuff, and what would come out with Antonio Brown.
 
With the schedule release last week, I couldn't help but feel that the way NFL currently schedules games is still not where it should be for the players. I really think the NFL would benefit by making the season longer and include 2 bye weeks. I know that Goodell was interviewed on the Pat McAfee Show and said they're looking at having the season be longer and playing the Super Bowl on Presidents Day weekend.

If you let the season expand to, say, 18 games, you could have a 20 week season. That gives each team 2 bye weeks, allowing for more opportunity for players to rest/rehab. If they started the season on the Thursday before Labor Day this year, Week 16 would be the Thanksgiving Day games, you could continue doing the flex scheduling/Saturday games at the end of the year, playoffs would start January 11th, conference championship weekend on February 2nd, and Super Bowl on February 16th.

I think it could work. Plus, having the Super Bowl over the holiday weekend with a corresponding Monday off would be a great opportunity.

They'd have to sit down with the NFLPA. Current CBA prohibits an 18th game from being added.

Hopefully they'd ask for another bye week as a concession. Possibly a mandatory one after playing an international game?
