Some random thoughts...

  • Joy.  ANOTHER Mayweather-Pacquiao farce.  The woman-beater vs. the homophobe, because the former realizes there's no money in boxing unless he's out there.  Barf.
  • Color me old-fashioned, but Marcus Peters should be suspended for this week's game.
The pick-six celebration was apparently a tribute to Raider Marshawn Lynch, fined twice for grabbing his crotch after touchdowns.

He said the fine was worth it.

If I'm the league, that's a suspension face-up.

Add the fact that:
  1. If this had been high school, he would've been suspended, because he would've been tossed for flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct -- and, depending on the stature the football team has with the community, he could've been suspended from the school too.
  2. If it had been college, the six would've come off the board.
Ironically, I'm not sure if the six would come off the board in high school or not.  It's not the case, at least, as of 2014 (and the college rule was changed in 2011).
  • Another person people would think I'm nuts to do this to, but I'd also suspend David Onyemata for two Roughing the Passer penalties.
A lot has been made that he literally played for free last week.  But the fact he committed two such penalties should be ejectable, and the fact he committed two FINEABLE penalties of that regard should've automatically triggered Supplemental Discipline.

But, that's right, the NFL cares about Player Safety, and so do the players.  Shyeah and fucking right.
  • Are we getting an early tell here?  Are we actually going to go with an Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl if the knee can hold up long enough (or the wide-eyed drugs good enough) to get Rodgers through a season, at least kinda like Peyton Manning and his neck the year the Broncos won?
I mean, damn if this isn't about the only damn story this week in the NFL -- and you have to wonder, given the heavy slams on injurious defensive play, if even the Vikings breathing on Rodgers is going to be a penalty.

Recall:  The "Aaron Rodgers Rule", and the injury to Rodgers which took the Packers out of play, was against Minnesota!
