CTE is a bitch.

Aaron Rodgers was that douche in college you had in your upper level humanities courses who thought he was smarter than the professor and wanted everyone to look at him every class so he argued constantly challenging known facts and making the class a slog. By the end of the semester you wanted to stab him in the face and then you spent the next semester avoiding him when he randomly popped up everywhere trying to chat you up because wasn’t that old geezer of a professor just the worst?

I hope he falls into an open manhole.

Did he ever graduate from Cal?

Why all know the dumb jock stereotype. Would would anyone listen to him about anything besides football?

He knows more than Fauci does?

This might be the best intro press conference I’ve ever seen.

I loved it that a guy named Butker, who is a kicker (a football position not known for how manly its participants are), and who may or may not have hooked up with dudes in college, tried to lecture men about leaning into their masculinity.

The call is coming from inside that immaculately decorated foyer Mr. Kicker.

Be interested to see how the Chargers do this year - they are probably the only NFL team I remotely follow; outside of where ex UA players are on.

I think Harbaugh is going to do wonders with Herbert

I can only think about how Kaepernick lost his whole career over his shit but this guy gets a free pass and we always hear that it's only conservatives that get cancelled

Where are all the people who told Lebron to shut up and dribble or Kaepernick to keep his politics out of the locker room? Why aren’t they telling Butker to shut up and kick?

Oh, because when an athlete’s opinions line up with theirs they get a free pass. Got it…

Wow. I knew he was college good, but never expected him to be NFL good.

Christian McCaffrey is giving the once-sagging running back market some hope as the 49ers star signed a two-year extension, the team announced Tuesday. The new deal is worth $38 million, CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirms

Listed as high risk of injury.

Wow. That is a huge change to get used to.

Raiders persona for ya, going back many decades.

I was at the Patriots-Raiders playoff game in LA in 1985 (quietly rooting for NE, have several college friends from NH).

Some nice Pats fans sitting below us had shirts that said "I'm from Bah-stan". At some point Raiders fans started throwing crap at them. Security threw the Patriot fans out.

I swear these fucks go to the games just to get into fights.

These are not your father's athletes!!!

Wonder if it was because he threatened to vaccinate Aaron Rodgers.

There's people speculating it was because he wore a patch supporting Lebanon during the game.

Woody Johnson is enough of an asshole that it could actually be true.

Both of Saleh's parents were born in Lebanon and immigrated to the United States ahead of his birth in 1979. Saleh previously wore the Lebanese flag on his arm during a game against the Giants, just weeks after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Saleh wore that patch during the week that NFL executive vice president of club business Peter O'Reilly released a statement encouraging players to represent their heritage via decals to the back of their helmets with their flags, while coaches added a patch to their team gear.

I really hate since the time Cowboys when they were pushes ad "America's Team".

Hopefully the Lions won't choke again this season like they did last.

The Tom Landry era laid the groundwork for my Cowboy's hatred: The "America's Team" label (military fixation during Viet Nam War); "North Dallas Forty" reality; strict grooming requirements; and, of course, the JFK assassination....

Growing up as a Irish Catholic, ND fan, and following Paul Hornung to Green Bay (My first favorite pro team) also made the 'Boys natural enemies.

And, of course, the 21st Century has been an over-abundance of anti-Cowboy schadenfreude

LOL the Jets are a joke. How are people still doing that stupid “drop the ball before you reach the goal line” thing in this year of our lord 2024?
