Re: NFL Off Topic

Q: What do the Jacksonville Jaguars and possums have in common?

Spoiler

A: Both play dead at home and get killed on the road.

Re: NFL Off Topic

So during the Fox pregame show, right before they throw it to the first game, they say something along the lines of: "Those of you with noon games, enjoy and we'll see you at halftime. Those of you with a late game, we'll see ya right back here after these messages!" like there is more to the pregame show.

There has been plenty of times where I've heard them say that, and Fox doesn't have a noon game in my market, but instead of going back to the studio, it's just 3 hours of infomercials or something until the 3:00 game.

I've never understood that. What gives?

Might be your local Fox station's choice.

They go back to the studio for a brief time in those scenarios here.

I understand that the NFL is an avid supporter of making sure folks are aware of Breast Cancer and whatnot(lost my Grandmother to it back in the 90s), but the pink flags are a bit much today.

I'm fine with the players having Pink accessories to go along with their uniform but the Flags don't NEED to be touched with.

Yes, the pink flags were a bad idea.

Pink, yellow, what's the difference?

Re: NFL Off Topic

No one complains about the CFL's orange flags for Traffic Cone Awareness.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Obviously there's no difference.

Just saying that I understand that it's Breast Awareness Month, but we don't need to "pinkify" everything on the field now like it is now.

I figured you of all people would understand being the Uni Snob that you are, lol.

The who?

At least MLB when they do that promotion for lack of a better term only use pink bats. Imagine if players wore pink gloves! (batting and fielding)

The mother's day pink bats are great. The NFL is getting a little bit over the top.

Pink towels that fall off can look like a penalty flag, slow things down a bit. I suppose.

Cant believe there's a game AFTER SNF tonite between Chargers/Raiders.

That's going too be late for me to watch, have work tomorrow morning so no go. Maybe if I was off I would have been able to catch some of it.

Add all the players, coaches, refs wearing pink for everything and it is hard to see when a flag is thrown or not.
