maqroll Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I admit I'm enjoying Roger Goodell sweating this one out... "Hoisted by his own petard".... Edited September 12, 2014 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) 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.

abdomlahor Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yeah, I noticed it quite a lot. Quite interesting how different it is over here really. I get that there are always some idiots in every fanbase but there seems to be a way higher percentage across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 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. and these same fans wonder why players end up taking some kind of drugs...

maqroll Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 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.

KennyPowers Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So who does everyone like today for betting purposes. I like Miami +1.5 and Atlanta +6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2014 This has the look of one of those weeks where the lines are accurate, so alternate lines in general and even teasers are probably good bets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2014 Cardinals are probably the strongest play in the early games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'd also lean towards the Dolphins, Lions, and Jags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2014 Judging from the line movement and general sentiment, it looks like there's a flood of sharp money on the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
