Despite Chris “Mad Dog” Russo constantly hollering about how the NFL “is in big trouble,” the NFL is in no trouble at all. We should all be in big trouble like Russo thinks the NFL is in. [Awful Announcing]

There are football fans… and then there's the Carlson family in Iowa!
I got to tour their 'Little Kinnick' House and it might just be the greatest place to tailgate I've ever seen! pic.twitter.com/z0cAlFygKR

Over the past two years, football has become more about business than football. Which is good for business, but not good for football. pic.twitter.com/JIN74hd4YL

Love how Baker took out both Bates AND the ref.

That’s great that the Broncos owners are replacing the grass for safety. Too bad the cheap Glazers as still doing nothing despite the players saying the field is an “F”.

JimBob, what can they do? They’ve always played on grass, it rains a lot in Tampa Bay and they share that field with USF, who plays before them when they share it for a weekend.
Not a good combination. There is no magic wand that can magically heal the grass or make it grow faster. Until USF has their own stadium, this will be a problem. The Bucs never had home field turf complaints prior to USF football.
When that new stadium is opened next year, it will be amazing for both teams and fan bases. But don’t blame you Glazers for being cheap in this scenario when money isn’t going to fix it, at least money thrown at that same turf. The fix is happening next year.
Plus, I thought the sloppy field actually helped us in the last game. LOL A dome team like Atlanta definitely couldn’t handle it.

Baker channeled his inner Gronk and threw Bates “outta tha club.”
