NFL is even pissing off the refs...

again.

The first call was Washington defensive lineman Chris Baker's cheap shot on Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles in Week 3, which drew a 15-yard penalty and ejection. NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent strangely said Baker did nothing wrong and wouldn't be fined, even though he clearly broke the NFL rule on blindsiding a player away from the play.

The NFL was quick to say a 15-yard penalty on Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah, who slid to the ground after a touchdown and went into Muslim prayer, was incorrectly called. The league didn't even wait 12 hours after the call was made on Monday night to say it was wrong.

The NFLRA said that the league is saying one thing and doing another.

“In the last two weeks, two penalties that were called in games that drew national attention were publicly announced to be in error by the League office, however the Officiating Department later graded the calls as correct. This has caused confusion for NFL officials as to what the League does and doesn’t want called,” the Referees Association said in a statement, via Pro Football Talk.

I read the rulebook and even I agree the Baker hit was a cheap shot and against what the rules state.

I'm not usually one of those "FIRE GOODELL types"....

 

 

But please... please... get rid of him. 

 

This league is crumbling under him.

 

The dude should be allowed to pray. The Golden Calf of Bristol was allowed to. The blindside block should've been penalized. The refs were actually right in those cases.

people love high scoring but my goodness make it fair, let's bring back bump and run or something.I would also like to make it unsportmanlike to call for pass interference . Every incomplete pass play some receiver is running around with their hand up in the air.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
