NFL 2021

Vegas cut him today

 

Looks like Beckham is done in Cleveland. He was told not to attend practice the day after his dad posted a video of Mayfield not targeting a wide open Beckham in their 15-10 loss to Pitt

 

Rodgers out this Sunday, he's Covid positive.

 

He's also a liar. The local sports talk station played a recording of a press conference where he was asked if he was vaccinated. He said "yea, I was immunized". According to reports he applied to the NFL for an exemption due to some holistic cure. That was denied and he was supposed to follow non-vaccinated protocols. Both Rodgers and the Packers should be in store for penalties.

 

There is a difference between 'vaccinated' and 'immunized', Aaron knows this, he's not stupid, he played the media.
Good for him.
Neither he nor GB should be penalized at all, he just has to do what Cole Beasley has to do...

 

I heard the audio several times. He was asked if he was vaccinated, not if he was immunized. The first word out of his mouth was "yea". That he then added he was immunized doesn't negate that he lied in his answer to the specific question of whether he was vaccinated. A truthful answer would have been, "I've been immunized but not vaccinated".

Forget that he lied to the media, he deceived all his teammates and everyone else he came in contact with in the building.

And BTW, what the hell was this immunization? Did he get a flu shot?

 

Rodgers is in a death spiral and Cole Beasley is already at the bottom of it

 

A lot of the discussion involving Arrogant Rodgers gets too close to P&R . . . . so I will abstain with my thoughts on the subject.

 

I heard it when he first said it, and I interpreted it to be he was NOT vaccinated.
If he didn't follow the NFL's protocols, he deserves a 6 game suspension.

Just because you don't agree with their stances on vaccinations?
It's OK for athletes to jump on the stage to profess how they ARE vaccinated, but it's not OK
for others to do the same thing in saying they are not?

 

What happened to Dallas?? I was watching F1.

 

Another weekend of upsets. That's why they play the games, right?

 

Yes

 

Rodgers thinks he is the smartest person in the room
He is one of the best QBs for sure but
GB lost
Love looked like he had never played in an NFL game before… which he hadn’t
Had Rodgers taken the vaccine and not tested positive for COVID-19 GB probably won the game. Rodgers will probably miss next game too

 

Denver played their best game of the year,
Especially on defense…without Von Miller

looked to me like the Boys expected an easy win
Only got two garbage touchdowns late in the game when it was too late to come back

 

Teams won without their best players
AZ backup QB and best receiver out
TEN won without their star running back

 

The Raiders literally threw away the game against the Giants. Probably their worst game of the year.

Missed a chip shot FG
Threw an interception for a TD
Fumbled when about to score the winning TD with a minute left.
Stupid penalties
Couldn't stop the Giants with 5 minutes left from getting a key FG
Throwing into double coverage
Five trips into the Red Zone getting them only 9 points

Pitiful.

 

The Vegas casinos made out like a bandit this weekend.

The NFL Should Step in to Help Stabilize the Raiders

Mark Davis's organization is badly in need of leadership. The league should find someone competent to help right the ship in Las Vegas.

The Raiders are tied for first place in the AFC West but, on days like Monday, feel the furthest thing away from an organization that doesn’t require a serious intervention.

The club released former first-round pick Damon Arnette after the cornerback brandished multiple weapons during a series of social media videos while threatening to kill someone. NFL Network reported that, during Arnette’s first year in the league, he crashed four rental cars. While it’s not fair to say the Raiders could see this coming, Arnette’s penchant for eyebrow-raising behavior was available for anyone to read leading up to the 2020 draft across various media outlets that source scouting chatter for their predraft rankings. Most of those rankings had Arnette as a mid-round selection. Las Vegas took him in the first round, a few picks after Henry Ruggs III.

From the 2020 draft class alone, both of Vegas’s first-round picks have now been released, Ruggs after he was charged with multiple felony counts of DUI. Two of their three third-round picks were dispensed of before the players logged a single snap. Their previous draft classes, while lacking in the same off-field tumult, have largely underperformed on the field, squandering almost the entirety of their haul from the Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper trades.

Before we get too far, this is not some column pearl clutching about all the bad things that have happened in Oakland and Las Vegas over the past few years. This is also not an attempt to lump them all together. Ruggs, who stands accused of killing a woman and her dog after crashing into them while driving 156 miles per hour with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit, Arnette and Jon Gruden, who was fired amid the surfacing of anti-LGBTQ, sexist and racist comments made in email correspondence with former Washington Football Team president Bruce Allen, are different men with different sins.

This is a column wondering how they all ended up in the same place and what can be done about it.


Kirby Lee/USA TODAY Sports

It’s fashionable to pick on Raiders owner Mark Davis, whose reclusive nature and obscure tendencies lead us to believe he is aloof and incompetent. Since taking over the franchise in 2011, the Raiders have had just one winning season, one playoff berth and one season of .500 football. Derek Carr, who was drafted in the second round in ’14, has been the only steadily appreciating asset of that time period, almost singlehandedly saving the franchise from being the worst team in the NFL year in and year out.

Davis, though, by all accounts, is not a bad person. He does not willingly scour the draft for unsavory characters and—not that we know of, at least—he did not bond with Gruden over their shared disregard of certain members and groups of society. He was trying to conjure an attitude and recreate the mystique his father had cultivated over decades in the NFL.

In this way, Davis has failed. The problem is that he has not failed in an oh-well-you’re-the-Jets-now harmless kind of way. He failed in a dangerous way after relocating the franchise and building a new stadium. He failed in the kind of way that produces massive questions about the team’s daily processes and the kinds of safeguards in place from keeping the organization from becoming a perpetual embarrassment to the league. (Ask free agents what they thought of Oakland prior to their recent stretch of trouble, by the way. Their opinion was not much better.) While the team has a winning record at this moment, the floor underneath the franchise could be so painfully weak that the entire foundation might collapse. Is it worth it to ignore all the structural issues for a half-assed shot at the playoffs this year before it all falls apart?

Davis needs help, and the NFL should step in to guide the administrative process until it can feel confident in his abilities to steer the ship. Other moribund franchises in other professional sports have been assigned experienced presidents and general managers in the past to help guide them out of the woods and, perhaps, this is a consideration the NFL should take up at a league meeting sometime in the near future (if it can somehow dodge professional sports’ nepotistic tendencies).

The NBA sent Jerry Colangelo to help the Sixers when the league felt like Sam Hinkie’s Process was getting to be too big an embarrassment. Bud Selig orchestrated a swap in 2002, with MLB essentially taking over the Expos and Montreal owner Jeffery Loria ending up with the Marlins instead.

There are plenty of competent executives out there who have built championship-caliber rosters: Jerry Reese, Dave Caldwell, Thomas Dimitroff among them. Assign them to the Raiders for a two-year period and insist that every decision impacting the organization come out of a majority vote. Bring in a panel of experienced NFL coaches, like Mike Smith (career record: 66–46), Doug Pederson (career record: 42–37) or Jim Caldwell (career record: 62–50).
