The ESPN disease has spread to Roger Goodell

Just got an e-mail from Roger Goodell, taking credit for the exciting 2013 NFL season.  Here is an excerpt:

 

 

 

"Once again we have new teams in the playoffs.  Five of the twelve were not there last year (Carolina, Kansas City, Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Diego) and for the 11th straight year, teams that went from last to first in their divisions (Carolina, Philadelphia)."

 

 

 

I suppose he thinks that last is a complete sentence, but forget that.

 

The Carolina Panthers went from second in the division last year to first this year, not last to first.

 

He can't really be paying attention.

Wasn't it a three way tie for second last year?

An interesting note, all four NFCS teams have now won the division three times each. Talk about a competitive division.

 

We won the tie-breakers to finish second.

No, Saints & us had the same record, but we swept them so... No tie for them...

 

TB was also 7-9 and swept us but was swept by the Saints so the tiebreak had to go deeper than hh.  You are correct though, we won the tiebreak, Roger is confused.

Obviously an ignorant statement by the NFL.

It may have been brought up in another thread, but the whole division champ and playoff system is screwed. San Francisco finished 5-1 in the NFC West, Seattle finished 4-2, yet Seattle "wins" the division.

 

b/c they finished with a better record? why the fug would they seed based on divisional record? i mean i don't want the panthers to go to seattle either, but they earned that 1 seed.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
