Referee Brad Smith. Had the saints/ Rams game yesterday. That dude is crooked as heII!
Turn in that game & watch. Every time saints made a play- a late flag flys. And for the rams? Their o-line was tackling free rushers. No flag.
If your team is playing, and brad smiths crew is officiating. Ya better hope Brad had his cousin bet on your team!

Speaking of rams- put matt stafford in the aaron rodgers category. If hes not done tiday- he will be soon. Great talent & career. But father time catches everyone that lives/plays long enough.

Jed York- SF owner is done. Exposed. Alongside Mike Brown- bengals owner. The Mara family & Jerry Jones. The players know which owners will screw them for 3 dimes and a free donut. Theres no doubt- player contracts are beyond ridiculous.
But so is NFL revenue. All on the backs of us fans...i digress. The point is- dick around with contracts- expect less than full effort somewhere down the line. Eddie Debartolo made the Niners, that lockeroom into something special. Everything Eddie D did back in the day. Was to ensure his players knew. They were playing for an owner that would go far and above expectations to take care of them. Eddie D was FAMOUSLY- Generous and grateful with every member of that organization.
There is not an owners hall of fame. But if there was. Eddie D would be the 1st inductee. Paul Allen former seahawks owner. The city of Green Bay. The Rooney Family. Its a short list of great owners.

The hall of shame would fill much faster, with the likes of, Mike Brown, York, Jones, Mara. Max Winter, Art Modell, Jim Irsay. The ford family before the grand daughter took the reigns. John Mecom(saints)... Its a long & full list. Douchebag owners, that use child labor to sew jerseys that the sell to you for $250.

I saw a Carolina panther team that im glad is not on the viking schedule. Same for Patriots. I saw an Atl Falcon team that is beyond understanding. I cant tell you if that team is great, terrible or somewhere in between. And they have been that way for 20+ years. Heck. Back in the day with Steve Bartkowski. You just never knew what the falcons would bring. Those falcons sure outplayed the media darling chargers yesterday. Yet, somehow(4ints) kirko found a way to hairball it to a loss.

Btw- Defense still wins the day. See bengals, see ravens. 2 of the greatest qb's if this generation.
Lamar & Burrows. Bad defense behind them.
Great qbing only covers up so much. Its always been that way. It appears to remain.

That brings us full circle to the vikings.
Is Aaron Jones Done? Great talent fer sure. But dam dude. Maybe, right before kickoff, eat pancakes, forego the butter for extra syrup, spill syrup all over yourself. Whatever it takes to stop the fumble machine youve become. Speaking of vikings. Stephon lasted into week 13 before the hammy thats hamstrung his career popped a nut. Now thats its arrived, consider him done. This was why i was begging for Jayce Horn or Jonathan Jones at the deadline. Expect teams to pick on Fabian Moreau endlessly going forward. It only takes one weak link in a mile of superstrong chain for the chain to break. Gilmore wasnt going to get any all-pro votes in 2024. But he was far above average and absolutely reliable. Moreau is still better than any CB the vikings fielded back circa 2020-23. However, its a step back for a defense that like to use man coverage.

Next up- the Kirko revenge game. Dont expect the gift pick6 win he handed the chargers. I think thise falcons are gonna be really salty. Run the tape. The falcons owned jim harbaugh yesterday. Problem is. Harbaugh owned kirko.
