    Ugh. Dallas didn't win, the Saints lost. :p

    Seriously, though, that whole thing was very uncharacteristic of Brees' usual performance, particularly that final catastrophic pick. He really looked off tonight. By all counts, with the multitude of penalties Dallas inflicted on itself, the game should have been the Saints' to win. Really scratching my head over this one.

    13-10?

    Looks like it is time for the NFL to adjust the rules the defenses play by, again. Perhaps making all defensive players play with one arm tied behind their backs?

    If the NFL keeps turning into the pussy league, they might require a "tackler" to tear off both flags instead of just one.

    Doug Williams (former Redskins QB), who is in charge of personnel management, is digging his team into a deep moral-compass-devoid hole with this whole sad Reuben Foster affair.

    When will the madness stop?

    Doug's got a bright future in politics.

    From what I've read, it was Bruce Allen's decision to claim Foster. Williams is just doing a poor job cleaning up his bosses mess.

    Do these guys really have this little self-control? And what in the world took the NFL so long to take action?

    I know it sounds harsh, but the Chiefs should cut him. I wouldn't want him on the Dolphins.

    Send him to the Skins. I hear they're hiring domestic abusers.

    This could possibly derail the Chiefs' season.

    I know you've already outed yourself as a homophobe, but concerns over player safety means the NFL is a "pussy league?" You really have to use a gender-specific slur? Really?

    It's almost as though it's nearly impossible for women to get justice for crimes of abuse through the courts and have to settle with the justice of public opinion instead.

    Seriously, words have meaning. Think before you post.

    My hat is off to the Chiefs for doing the right thing here. Tough decision when dealing with such a talented player.

    Not immediately. Hunt was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List. He isn't eligible to play until the investigation and whatever suspension is over.

    Wanting to be able to form a complete sentence with a full awareness of your surroundings when you're 70 is soooooo unmasculine.

    I think anyone who complains about player safety protections should first agree to have a 300 pound man jump on you for three hours, once a week, four months a year. If you wouldn't agree to that, what are you, a *****?

    But where player safety is not concerned I agree sports leagues do too much to cripple the defense to artificially increase scoring. Take care of safety first, then let defenders defend.

    And why don't you stick to commenting on the game itself. At least you have a sliver of an idea what you're talking about when it comes to that.

    I'm all for player safety, cutting back on the egregious crap is good. But we're literally steps away from it being the NF(lag)FL. It's a violent sport by nature, everybody playing it should know that. The only way to keep these guys 100% safe from injury is to abolish the game.

    Kareem Hunt does not seem to be a smart man. Apparently there was another incident in June the NFL was already in the process of investigating...

    It's a violent bloodsport; I'm not terribly opposed to this.
