We should be happy about tonight. It was the cherry on top of the nfl week

Any player/coach in Seattle that really thinks they won that game has zero integrity as a man and should be embarrassed.

Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch stunned at replay of controversial final play Monday night - Yahoo! Sports

Dramatic as it may sound, it's quite possible that history will look back on Tate's illusory jump-ball touchdown as the moment the NFL jumped the shark.

The outcry over the replacement officials' game-deciding call (and the failure of the non-replacement replay officials to overturn it) crystallized the brewing anger toward NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the owners he represents, whose collective insistence upon securing a favorable contract with the regular officials has clearly compromised the game's integrity.

In the hours that followed, I heard from numerous current and former players and coaches – and not just because I got some unplanned TV time with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the aftermath of Tate's catch/non-catch – who were aghast at the conspicuous intersection of incompetence and injustice.

A player on one of the Packers' NFC North rivals who should have been heralding the outcome instead decried the play as "the worst call in NFL history." A veteran NFL assistant went even further, saying, "Oh, it's really bad. It's Tuck Rule bad. Rodney King bad."

Memo to Goodell: That's bad.

ASKING for pensions?

They already HAD pensions. They're asking to KEEP them.

Is the NFL going broke or something for them to be against continuing issuing them?

I'm sick of people defending big business scaling back on what workers have.

It's pure jealousy that they don't have any pensions to look forward to.

You think I'm not jealous of my mom and in-laws chilling on their pensions? I sure am..but not enough to say they shouldn't have any.

Serfs will always go at other serfs for getting more crumbs, but never say anything about the boss an eight course meal.

Horrible.

Even on the Jamal Charles 91 yard run, the DE for the Saints was being held like a mutha ducks and that shyt wasn't called

I'm really disappointed in Jay Glazer shilling for the NFL saying he thinks the replacement refs suck but what the old refs are asking for is total BS too.

fukk outta here. It's now wrong to ask to keep what already have? Is dude serious?

landscape is changing...concussion lawsuits are looming...the NFL is on top right now...but the reason they have been was from sound business decisions..its not guaranteed that 20 years from now the NFL will still be on top.

pensions for part time officials I can see why the owners are saying nah. plan for retirement like the rest of us.

I'm not crying for officials either.

But you're bringing up possibilities. Landscape changing my ass. The NFL has no competitors to worry about and still has money out the ass. Your rational was the NFL's justification for chopping NFL Films staff in half.

The refs want the same. Just because employees at your job gave up DBP doesn't mean those that still have them should give them up.



Like the rest of us. Maybe we were stupid.

Of course you didn't....neither have I. People in the past allowed them to disappear instead of fighting to keep them as jobs ran on excuses to rid of them.

[Bboystyle]

I think this will be the last thing i post/respond about the fukkery from last night...shyt is all jokes at this point so why not leave it at that...

Tweet:
"If you’re holding your baby & I walk up and hug it, according to the NFL replacement refs, you have to give me your baby."

Not to get too deep, but I think the homey Walt referred to Roger Goodell as a "Romney" and thats 100% accurate.

NFL is just reflecting the change in corporate responsibility over the last couple decades in all big businesses. Managers used to be responsible for the financial success of the organization. In the past that meant finding a balance to satisfy the owners, the labor and the customers...customers being the most important part.

Execs/CEOS/Commissioners nowadays aren't really managers. Theyre just agents put in place by the shareholders to extract as much money as possible. So as long as the ticket sales and ratings look the same they could care less whose not happy. Thats not his job to make people happy...

Same issue with Bain collecting millions to bankrupt companies and fire people. Same issue with the Occupy protests where 1% of the people get rich and 99% are expendable...

Its so demonic, friends
