The 2014 Running Football Thread (College & Pro)

I didn't see a single game yesterday.  Glad to see the Vikings score indicates a crash landing into a field of reality.  Bridgewater will be quarterback by week 8  .  AP just needs to stay sidelined until this whole fiasco is settle by the courts.  I'm tired of celebrities, politicians, and professional athletes being treated as above the law by the "news" media, courts, and public opinion.  Fuck that.  They should be held to a higher standard and equality accountable for their actions to include fines and jail time.

...When I was a child and misbehaving, my grandma used to make me go pick a switch and if I came back with one that was deemed too small, Grandma would pick her own. That was never good and I quickly learned the minimum-acceptable switch size for my grandma.

Your grandma and my mother must have read the same book!  ;D

Didn't get to see the Texans-Raiders game but saw the updates on my phone. Didn't know JJ Watt scored a TD until later that night when I finally got home. W00t! But the win was versus the Raiders, though.

At least they didn't blow an 18-point lead or ice their own tying TD pass late in the game with an illegal time out...LOL...

I was spanked as a child, more than once with a yard-stick, but nothing like this:

And now there's a report that he put leaves in his son's mouth while he was whipping him?! Wtf?!

Guess you didn't live in the city. Old rebar or a lead pipe would have had to take the place of the switch!

however bad your team is, it's unlikely they're this bad...

For all the switchings I got as a kid....Grandma never left marks like that. My initial response was flippant, based on my own experiences and my disdain for how society seems to want to protect our children from every possible scraped knee. I'm appalled at what I'm seeing and hearing regarding AP, moreso because I've been a big fan of his since watching him play at Oklahoma. There are always lines in life and it appears AP crossed this one big time.

Tom Brady does a weekly interview on WEEI in Boston and gave a total cop out response when asked about AP. Basically it was, "I'm not going to comment because nothing I say will make a difference". Really? How about something as simple as, "As a parent, I don't believe in beating my kids".

I'll see if I can dig up the interview, but I lost a lot of respect for Tom yesterday.

I miss Dirty Sanchez.

[Steelgrave]

He HAD to find a Romo clip, didn't he?  :P

notthatitwashard........

[Bison]

The problem with Romo clips truly is just limiting yourself to picking just one Romo moment.

What's the Vegas line on Goodell getting fired?

[MetalDog]

44 million to one.

kinda makes you wonder how someone with less skill then the typical Grog gets paid that much to fail.
