You are trying to ruin the NFL for a second time in 2 years, this time for less than $2 million in a business worth 45,000% more than that (do the math).

This time you have sacrificed the safety of your employees and the integrity of the game you say you love only to satisfy your unfathomable greed and to feed your mammoth egos. Not to mention you have basically given the finger to each and every fan (i.e. your customers) that lives and dies to watch this game.

And yes, I know you're not done. You all are too old, rich, and out of touch to do otherwise. I also know that you feel like we're going to take it forever, just like the rapidly shrinking middle class of this great nation seems hell bent on doing, but we won't. Soon we will storm your stadiums that we paid for with public money, lock you in your luxury boxes paid for with public money, and pump in farts, reggaeton, and that dreaded hippity hop music until your cold, ancient, worthless hearts give out.

And don't think we don't know Ol' Roger isn't your toadie waiting for his masters' next command.

As a fan of the NFL I'd just like to say fug you. fug you with all my heart.

And this goes to old Mumble Mouth Jerry "Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son" Richardson just as much as anyone.

I know the commish takes a ton of heat for his job (and most of it rightfully placed), but the media pinning this replacement ref issue on him isn't really fair.

This is totally on the shoulders of the NFL Owners and until the ratings drop, they could care less if a football game isn't properly officiated.

What if that was the Cowboys losing that game last night to Seattle instead of the publicly-owned Packers? As much as he is an ass, is he influential enough that he would have seen his team robbed by his own supposed greed, and start lobbying the other owners to get this handled?

Why not take the question one step further. If that game was Seattle @ Oakland or @ Philly and the Raiders / Iggles get robbed at home is everyone so comfortable with the outcome? Not only do you have an non-public team robbed but you probably have a far less forgiving immediate reaction in the stadium as well.

We can if / and / but ourselves to death but it shouldn't matter. That was an embarrassment and the general public isn't as stupid as the NFL seems to think we are. The novelty / comedic value of terrible officiating will wear off for the casual fan eventually (I hope).

Dear Refs,

I cannot for the life of me understand why you feel that you are entitled to a pension plan when you work part time for our company. Our ratings have not dropped, and I feel that you are costing yourselves more and more money everyday that you don't accept our offer.

Many of our full time employees do not receive a pension, and only a 401K and a match from us. The NFL may not be around forever, and if history proves to be cyclical we will not always be the top dog. You can reference boxing, baseball, Nascar, and the NFL for a little history lesson. We feel that if we sign bad contracts with you, the players, and the networks in the good times, they might bite us in the ass during the bad times that we all know will eventually come.

Many Towns, Cities, Counties, and States are being bankrupted everyday by ongoing legacy costs such as healthcare for life, pensions, and excessive retirement benefits that were promised when the times were great. We have no plan to bankrupt the NFL, however we do plan to move forward with or without you. We are a business, not a bureaucracy.

Thanks for your time,

The Owners

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
