Cove's Redzone Pub. The NFL chat thread.

Well you get people like Brandon Meriweather (total, utter ****) who says he tries to go for ACL injuries, and to end careers, because it's better than hitting high.

 

Mark Fainaru-Wada appeared on the Daily Show last night, he's the writer of League of Denial:

Thats just uncalled-for! Obviously nobody likes to see a dangerous hit to the head, but there is a perfectly good, and often pretty large, target from shoulders to waist. Why not hit there? Accidents will happen, but this season has been a tough one in terms of injuries.

 

Exactly, I don't know. We're always told to aim hit at chest-height but make sure to get it between shoulders and waist. Don't go low because you'll seriously injure people and obviously don't go high. It's not that hard.

 

Justin Blackmon suspended indefinitely, for the rest of the season at an absolute minimum, for drugs. Again. What an absolute moron - so much talent and he's willing to piss it away. Really frustrates me.

EDIT: **** sake. He's not even a bad guy:

Thats an amazing video! What could drive/turn a man to drugs? I cant understand it. He has been a star on the field this season too, well as much as possible in this Jags team, and had such a bright future ahead of him.

 

Well, playing for the Jaguars is quite depressing at the moment... Don't almost all youngsters smoke pot in the USA to get some relief from the killing peer pressure these days?

 

Wrong groups of friends when he was younger I guess... I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, because I like him, and I think he's a good guy. I just think he's fallen foul of an addiction and doesn't have a strong enough will to fight it, rather than it being down to him being a terrible person. I really hope he can sort himself out.

 

Broncos head coach John Fox getting heart surgery within the next couple of days. Will be out till maybe the end of the season. So are the Broncos finally going to play some aggressive football now for once?

Sunday Night Football already? Wow, those seven hours went by quickly.

 

Sunday Night Football is on already? Those seven hours went by quickly, and I'm remarkably untired for 1 in the morning.

 

For my place on the planet it's Sunday night, so to me, it's Sunday night football. The 8:30 game is insomnia night football.
