Olsen speaks out on Burfict. Video.

I love to roll through the comments on ESPN.  There are so many dumb ass macho men out there.

 

 

Guys sit in their office or toll booth and spout off about putting dresses on QBs. There are very few people outside the NFL that take hits like those men and most of them are disabled or dead.

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/11/opinion/what-i-saw-as-an-nfl-ball-boy.html?hpw&rref=opinion&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=HpHedThumbWell&module=well-region&region=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well

 

This is an op-ed from a former Bears Ball Boy in 2003. Ron Rivera rejoined the Franchise in 2004. 

 

 

 

 On game days my pockets were always full of these tiny ammonia stimulants that, when sniffed, can trick a brain into a state of alertness. After almost every crowd-pleasing hit, a player would stagger off the field, steady himself the best he could, sometimes vomit a little, and tilt his head to the sky. Then, with eyes squeezed shut in pain, he’d scream “Eric!” and I’d dash over and say, “It’s O.K., I’m right here, got just what you need.”

 

 

 

 

Cameramen know not to show players sniffing salts, and I participated in similar acts of cover-up. One of my jobs was sorting through postgame laundry. Cleaner uniforms would be set aside for football card companies to purchase for their line of “game-used inserts.” Dirty uniforms, meanwhile, like all the girdles filled with blood and feces because some hits are savage enough to overpower the central nervous system, I’d put in a special bin for disposal.

 

 

I don't think most of us comprehend the amount of violence out there. Even with the rules changes.

No major media outlet even touching this.

 

EDIT: Now they are

 

It was the Panthers...who cares about them?

It was Cam Newton...they hope he gets injured.

 

That's why.

 

Had this been Luck or Wilson the outcry by ESPN and company would've been so loud Goodell would've had to respond to it today.

the coverage is half assed to.  Nobody will post the pictures of the actual twisting of the ankles only moments before.  And these ignorant fans who aren't even bothering to inform themselves are calling Greg a cry baby.  Citing the "fact" that football is a tough sport and it happens all the time.  Greg is right.  Its targeting, its premeditated, its classless, and should not be tolerated in any shape or form.  This almost reminds me off the bully-gate only this is a physical assault.

It's the a hard game , but deliberately injuring a player should mean ejection and suspension

 

pleased to see the panthers are reporting it to the league, it may save some players careers if

 

Goodall  has the balls to do something about it , without being forced to by the media

I checked to see if they play the Colts this season and lo and behold, their next game is against the Colts. Maybe it's meant to be. He'll go out there and do the same to Luck, and then the sports world will care. Although ESPN is so devious they might act like him doing it to Luck is the first time they've ever seen anything like it. When you monopolize sports news on TV, you start believing that if you don't report it, it won't be a story, and if you make it up the world will believe it. 

 

I don't know why Rivera acted like he needed to think about whether to send in the tape and make a big deal of it. He needed to be as irrate in his comments as Olsen was, and quit being a chump.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
