Well I think criminal acts being punished in the courts is a pretty rational take. As far as being punished by the NFL, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect some sort of punishment on top of that. Most people would get fired from their jobs if they were filmed beating the shit out of some guy.
But my disappointment about this punishment is more about the fact that it was the only chance for Kamara to really see consequences for his actions, since the courts aren’t going to give him any jail time. I’d prefer for most of the punishment to be through the courts but that isn’t working right now.
It seems like the league is moving towards shorter suspensions for non-football related offenses if they don’t result in jail time (which they often won’t because money). This is pretty disappointing and I hope courts start pushing actual punishments for these players that break the law so we don’t have to rely on a corporation focused on making money to dole out the punishments.
I think having a thread each week for people to talk about rankings would be cool
It’s not like the whole NFL world doesn’t know Hackett did a terrible job, so Payton didn’t expose him. He just made himself look like an ass saying stuff people already knew.
I don’t really have a team so I’ll usually watch the Nick versions if I can. But yeah I don’t think I’d do it for the Super Bowl, it’d feel weird. And the commercials will almost definitely be different.
I totally agree with you and enjoy some of the storylines, but it doesn’t quite scratch the football itch, just like Hard Knocks and Quarterback and those shows get close but don’t actually scratch it.
I’m so football starved that I’ll watch this even though it’s gonna suck.
To whoever owns this, you might want to add something to check and make sure someone didn’t already post the same link lol
Absolutely, but even if he does play, it means they’ll probably have another slow start to the season. He’s never had an uninterrupted training camp.
That’s a crazy wide range of outcomes.
Whether or not it’s a direct criticism isn’t really my problem. But putting “…blasts Jets: ‘worst coaching job in history’” in the title and “‘It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,’ ‘The Jets did that this year. You watch.’” in the body implies that Payton said the Jets have the worst coaching job in history and that the Jets have already embarrassed themselves, which Payton never said. He said the Broncos last year had the worst coaching job in history and embarrassed themselves. Then in addition to that compares the Broncos’ last off-season with the Jets’ off-season this year and says that’s one of the reasons for the embarrassment. Which is very different from what your post implies.
I’m just saying I dont think it’s right to editorialize the article in the way you did in the title and body to misrepresent direct quotes from a real person to make it seem like they said something they didn’t. If you want to comment on what he said about the Jets, that’s fine, but directly quote what he said about the jets like you did in your earlier comments instead of mashing together quotes about last year’s Broncos and this year’s Jets to make it seem like he’s saying something he’s not.
That’s what I said. He said the Broncos did things wrong and embarrassed themselves last year. Then he said he thinks the Jets are doing the same thing this year. Then he listed other examples where it’s happened in the past. The statement wasn’t about dissing the Jets, he was talking about why the Broncos were so bad last year and used other examples to support that and also threw some shade at the Jets. But that doesn’t mean he “blasted” them and the order you put the quotes in the body make it seem like he was saying the Jets embarrassed themselves and it is the worst coaching job.
The title and body of this post are incredibly misleading. Payton was referring to last years Broncos when he said “worst coaching job in history” and the thing about being embarrassed.
The only thing he said about the Jets was that they’re doing what the Broncos did last year in that they’re trying to win the off-season and he thinks it won’t turn out well. It’s hardly blasting them.
Yeah they said he’s the starter once he’s healthy pretty early in the off-season.
I’m loving all of the alternate helmets, why’d they ever decide to outlaw them?
There was talk that he might sign a contract with some sort of stipulation that they couldn’t tag him next year so that could be it.
Luckily he wasn’t going to start at RB, but he was almost definitely going to be their returner so it’ll be interesting to see where they go with that. And I was looking forward to seeing what kind of interesting stuff they would draw up for him so that’s a bummer.
I imagine they mean without a cloth, poof, or loofa. As a kid I would put body wash in my hand, lather, and rub it over my body. But it tended to use up soap quickly so either I had to add more soap part way through or the things I washed last didn’t get washed well. Which is why I switched to a poof.
