Predictions and general chat

Is it just me, or are American sports fans very insensitive to injuries sustained by players? Some Giants fans are calling Odell Beckham a little bitch for not practicing yet due to a lingering hamstring injury, and calling him a 'bust' without him even playing a single down for us. He's been with us about four months ffs.

 

Big difference compared to the relatively sympathetic football fans over here.

There's a culture that valorizes playing through pain and generally suspects any player who doesn't have to be kidnapped to keep away from the practice or game field of being lazy.

New York, Boston/New England, Philly are probably the places where these sorts of things are most prevalent.

Just gets worse for the NFL...cannot see Goodell surviving through all of this. He just might want to GTFO anyway.


Step right up, Condoleeza Rice. A female commish would be a PR coup for the league right now.

and these same fans wonder why players end up taking some kind of drugs...

Wonder what punishment the NFL will give him? 

Peterson? He'l probably get 6 games, but the Vikings are playing it smart, unlike Baltimore by not releasing him. 

 

Ray Rice will be back in the NFL after a year of apologies, anger management etc. And the Ravens will be without an elite RB, whereas a team like Oakland or New Orleans will be throwing money at him to sign for them.

Giants +1.5 doesn't look a bad bet at home to Cardinals. Palmer hasn't thrown a pass in practice all week. And I'd probably take 49ers at -7 especially if Marshall and Jeffrey are struggling to make it
