Le Tigre Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Didn't the league put some post-fuckup rule because of Shazier/Gio? They say this one is "new", I am just wondering if this crock is born out of the Shazier rule (for which Shazier and his comrades will never be called for)?

Rick Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 My nfl experience is down to just watching the Bengals games, this forum, and the Bengals website. However, I also am entertained on YouTube by these Bengals talking heads, D&H Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1newprodigy Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I am so fucking sick of this shit!! Sorry for my language but i am beyond pissed (as I'm sure most of you are) After Shazier gets a pat on the back and not even flagged on a much more severe hit (i know it wasn't a rule then, it was just common sense) and now a 5 game suspension?!?! Geezus this is what we call Football in 2017....Sent from my SM-G930V using Go-Bengals.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the NFL is not "hurting" or "dying"--it is merely corroding itself from within, with the endless rule changes/mismanagement of rule changes/inconsistencies and blatant disregard of rule changes. And this is not just since concussion litigation--it has been deteriorating for at least the past decade into this glam/glitz amalgamation of what was once a real sport. Nothing so dramatic as a "break-up"...for me, it has been a steadily decreasing interest and road to outright contempt. I can, and have, done without it...and will continue to do so. There is a remnant that lures me to the stadium a few times a year, but that is mainly due to my enjoyment of the people in attendance, a little pre-game fun--not because the product is anything to speak of. Since you have bought the fake news that anything this man does is inherently evil, you will no doubt continue to buy it. 1 out of 4 points being correct would be an OK night at the plate--but only if the 1 was a base-clearing hit. #4 was a solid double.

That sounds about right. Used to make a point of going to at least one home game every year. Now I don't even watch all of them, at least not live. There are fish to be caught and BBQ to be smoked, and plenty of other things to do with my Sunday afternoons that don't make me feel like a mark. I don't have any illusions about this impacting the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I am a Bengals fan, but my interest in the NFL has definitely dropped. I dumped the Sunday Ticket around 10 years ago. No more fantasy football either. It was nice to get my Sundays back. I haven't attended an NFL game in a long, long time. I don't buy any of their stuff either. If you would have told me I would be more of a college football fan 20 years ago I would have said you were nuts, but here I am. The level of play is there and the emotions are real. There are so many football games on TV every weekend that it is just too much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Many Bengals fans have broke it off with the NFL. Then we get drunk, make a booty call and before you know it the NFL is bending us over the arm of a couch butt-fucking us collectively in the asshole.

Inigo Montoya Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Sucks Burfict is in this position, but his history affords him no breaks. It is clear he is a target and he will get no leeway. Losing a third of the season is going to cost us big time, IMO. Like it or not, keeping him around might be the wrong move since he will constantly be at risk for suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Fan Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 A few things at work here. Nfl (Goodell) will use situations like this to show they are in control, it's easy after the Brady decision. Bengals and Burfect will never get a break and both have to realize that they are easily chastised (read fucked) with little repercussion. Burfect is a fuckin idiot, one dot higher than Pacman on the common sense ladder. I'm very sick of Pac and getting close with Burfect. Our defense will be terrible starting the season.

So why do they need to "realize that they are easily chastised"? This is a clear observation that this is a corrupt/slanted league? So how is attempting to dance to their tune going to solve anything? If they are indeed the Milwaukee Bucks of the NFL--just the straight men for the league's comedy--why tow the line on anything? Go full Bad Boys Pistons on them all--who knows, maybe the cult of personality will sell and then this farcical league will actually glorify them.

That's actually a sound strategy IMO but you know The Redeemer would never go for it. Even if it doesn't work at least we're not just clap-clap-clapping along. Said much the same during the infamous WC game. It stopped being a football game when they let them headhunt Gio. Anything that happened after that was self-defense. It's the refs job, maybe their most important job, to prevent the game from getting to that point. It's absolutely vital in a full-contact sport. That crew didn't even try, and then the NFL sent them again for the same rivalry. They WANT the violence, they know it sells, but they have to blah-blah player safety so they suspend Burfict every season. See there I go getting all pissed off again. There's enough real-world stuff going on without trying to find entertainment in some rottenly corrupt sports league. It's supposed to be a relief from all that, not the same bag of shit in microcosm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 You speak truth. i was just remembering how Bill Laimbeer pushed and needled Robert Parrish into clocking him--then PARRISH gets a suspension! That was when the equally corrupt NBA took a real shine (read: they sold a lot of stuff) to Detroit, and allowed them to go full Antifa on any team--including the sainted Celtics. It only lasted a few years--but they got two Rings out of it. Fuck it...let's do it. Give me a few Laimbeers, Mahorns, and Rodmans--let's get this circus started.

|Bunghole| Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I wish your analogy were true to our position. Truth is, Laimbeer plastered Michael Jordan to the ground over and over again....then the NBA made up some new rules, and even if they didn't, they suddenly enforced old ones to protect their new moneymaker, whom also happened to be a trandscendant talent. Best the league had ever seen. Coffers were opened. Michael Jordan became one of the most ref favored players in the league, and bitched when he didn't get calls. He bitched and bitched. The NBA listened. He was their most valuable product. His non-call push off against Utah in game six was legend. Everyone made excuses for it until it became legal. No foul called, legend makes play, goodnight sir! This is a similar situation, though Burfict is now the Black Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|westside bengal| Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I thought Marvin was on the NFL Competition Committee which gives the OK for all rule changes, etc. You would think he would know how this new rule should be interpreted and Roger would understand that. Maybe he should be meeting with the other committee members and get things corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
