God, was that speech by Michaels and especially Collinsworth about the Hardy situation sickening. Yeah, blame the NFLPA, they're the bad guys here. If they weren't gumming up the Sheriff's justice with their appeals and legal trickery everything would be just fine.

No, and I realize in retrospect how my post sounded. I will never be as good at anything as Cassel is at football.

It's just an indicator of the stupid levels of money involved in the NFL. And how insanely lucky Cassel was that Brady went down in 2008. I wonder if he sends Pollard a fruit basket on the anniversary.
Depending on how much he plays this season, Cassel could push his career earning to $75M this season.

The apocalypse is upon us. Cris Collinsworth said something reasonably intelligent regarding Hardy.

Of course he could just be bandwagoning it as well.

This co-ordinated hit job on the NFLPA is almost as sickening as Hardy himself. The league and its promotional arms are disgusting.

But I thought it was our fault for wanting to watch football....

that "participant trophy" kia commercial is everything that's wrong with america in a nutshell. macho posturing, appeal to the good old days, hyperbole, straw man, and what the fuck does this have to do with a cheap-ass SUV anyway?

ETA - and they're using the instrumental from an awesomely profane Pharcyde song

Have you seen the football one involving the wife? It's just as bad.

Stat I just read ... the most penalized player this season in the NFL has 16 accepted calls against him.

"Wow, I haven't seen Greg Hardy hit someone that hard since he smacked around his girlfriend." -- definitely not Collinsworth or Michaels

Not sure which of these two teams is more pathetic. That's an inexcusable play for Philly.
