Derek Barnett touchdown

[TNESSEE77]

how many of last year's players does it take for media/everyone to see how good we should have been..poor coaching!!! period

 

[TennTom]

So funny seeing all the ones who love throwing out the "snowflakes" tag whining incessantly about the NFL. Never fails.

Congrats to Mr. Barnett!

It was the fantasy football equivalent of a Dobbnail Boot or Stumbled and Fumbled for my fantasy team, Butch's Backups (I had Kelce and Kamara hence the name). Was down 6.5 points and Barnett/Eagles D gave me 8 on the final play...

Show me the $$$$$

It wasn't quite that close in my League championship, but all those turnovers by Oakland had me in the lead, but that play was the icing on the cake. Having Philly's defense and Nelson Agohlor on Monday night made my mini-comeback even more enjoyable. In the immortal words of George Peppard (Hannibal on the A-Team), "I love it when a plan comes together."

What is really sad is you and people like you who value symbols of freedom over the actual freedoms. And before you get pissy and call me unamerican, i am a combat wounded veteran,all veterans swore to defend the constitution, not the flag.

So BC we don't agree with how some players choose to protest, we don't value freedom? Nonsense. I completely applaud players for standing up for what they believe in; how they've done it has been at times disgraceful IMO.

Honestly though a lot of the problem is most people just don't want to deal with politics, political correctness, or topics like racism with sports. It's hammered down their throats all the time throughout the day. Sports is a way to get away from the crap that's there in life for me and a lot of other people. JMHO though respectfully, I know some will disagree.

A whole lot of empty seats and all the distractions are definitely going to be noticed. Titans are posting $100 PSLs. I'm seeing a lot of window dressing and warm and fuzzy reporting. The cynic in me looks at camera angles, marketing shots, and fluff covering up for a really poor NFL situation. I only watch pieces and parts of games with VFLs. Sad what my favorite Sunday afternoon and Monday night past time has turned into. Just sad.

It's almost like you've never watched the NFL. Until the kneeling, I would have said it was easily the most patriotic pro league. It's not like they're all of a sudden changing their tune. This is who they were before some people kneeled.

We have a lot of snowflakes in here that these NFL players hurt their little feelings.

Justin Coleman scored on a PIck 6 this week too!

A key aspect of freedom is that you dont get to decide how someone else uses their freedom, as long as it doesnt inhibit the rights of others, their chosen form of protest in no way inhibits anyone elses rights. Therefore you dont get to decide how those players chose to protest despite how many feelings it hurts. We dont base laws on emotions.

I agree with what you posted, with the added statement that those customers also have the right to vote with their feet and not support what has transpired. The league indeed has the right to police its players, and does so to the point of limiting other behaviors such as headband statements, etc.

The Congress has passed no law limiting free speech, but the Constitution does not limit the employers from doing so, and does not limit the financial damage done by a lack thereof.

This is true, but there is no current NFL policy to punish players that protest. And to me, a mob of emotional midgets and torch wavers shouldnt be pushing a business to stamp out rights just cause it hurts their feelings. What i find interesting is that it is generally the same people that call liberals crybabies everytime they want to push gun laws based on emotions. They are hypocrits simple as that, you support the constitution and the freedoms it guarentees or you dont it is simple.

There sure is a lot of name calling going on to make a point. I won’t get into the mental aspects of such views but a few quick googles should get you there.
I fought for that flag because it represents the country whose constitution I swore to defend.
We all have rights. I’m envoking mine in ANY stance that does not uphold that banner in the highest regard. That does not mean I have hatred for the NFL as a whole. It only means I will not financially support it until the protest stop during the playing of the National anthem...Another symbolic jesture to honor the country, that supports the flag, that drapes the coffins of our fallen heroes, that represents the constitution I swore to defend...I could go on and on by brothers in arms.

Which is more important, freedom or symbols of freedom?
Without freedom those symbols mean nothing.

 

[MaxVolnGA]

Without those symbols there is no identity to our freedom. A symbol that takes all under it’s cover. A pledge that all are created equal.
Go ahead and p!ss on it because a few are biased, racist, bigots, etc. The majority are not...but that’s your freedom. Mine is to point out MY opinion of the whole mess.
