Good games by Amendola and Hogan. Pats survive but they should have put Tampa away in the third quarter!
The pre-game show featured 5 black males and Bill Cowher, who considers himself black. Such diversity, oi vey!
Cowher was always terrible even as a coach. There were times he made Mike Tomlin look like a genius in coaching. You may understand a black coach not making adjustments due to not being able to analyze situations properly. You don't expect a white coach to do the same unless it is Cowher.
That is why I was never surprised he has sucked as an analyst.
I haven't even bothered to read Newton's comments or the context in which they were made other than the references to them on CF, because I'm not interested. I just enjoy it when two of the system's pet groups clash and one has to capitulate to the other. It's happening more and more, which portends great fun in the near future.
The female reporter asked Newton about the passing routes that his receivers were running and he started smirking and said: “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes. Like, it’s funny.”
As Bruce mentioned, it was more perplexing than sexist because there have been female sports reporters interviewing Newton his entire life. I'm sure he secretly thinks it's silly to have women commenting on men's sports and trying to ask serious questions, which it definitely is...but his phony personality had a momentary glitch and he accidentally talked down to a protected special interest group. Now the feminists and white knights (See Cowher, Bill) are heaping hatred and judgment upon him. Funny to see...
Under “negatives” for Newton, Nawrocki writes, “Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup. Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law — does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room . . . Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness — is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable.”
Remember what Nolan Nawrocki had to say about Newton before the draft? He was eviscerated by the media for it. Of course we knew he was right all along, but maybe now some DWFs might start seeing it our way too.
Funny how you bring that up cause I totally had forgotten about it even though it happened less than 2 years ago and I watched it live. But I'll never forget what Bill Buckner did 31 years ago even though I didn't even find out about until like a decade and a half after it happened.His failure to jump on the loose ball in the backfield in the 4th quarter of the Suprebowl fits with the whole me-first narrative about him.

- Buckner was with the Red Sox when he let a ground ball through his legs to lose a WS game.
(Sorry, I'm on my tablet and can't get rid of the 1.)
NFL Network trying to figure out what’s wrong with the Dallas Cowboys. The consensus is with the retirement of Doug Free and Ron Leary leaving as a free agent, the o-line is no longer dominant. They plugged in two non-descript sumos on the right side of the line. Also, they are not getting the ball to Cole Beasley because Dak’s accuracy is severely compromised when he is under pressure.
I'm hoping for the injury-riddled Ravens to knock off Black Jack's Black Panthers. Blocking tight end Lee Smith will be the only starting paleface on that team where just about everyone kneeled for the national anthem. Oakland's o-line was supposed to be the best in the league but has looked pretty bad, including maybe throwing a game. Let the implosion continue behind the immortal E. J. Manuel!
I can remember Doug Free being criticized quite a bit during the end of his tenure in Dallas. Glad everyone is finally seeing what the Cowboys lost. I hope the Packers go into Dallas and hand the Cowboys another loss. BSPN will go into Dak meltdown mode.
Hoping for the Browns to lay another turd with their black privilege black quarterback. The Jets aren't much better but anything to push the Browns to 0-5 and Clueless Hue closer to being fired would be nice.
The 49ers should get a win today against the hapless Colts.
Dalton looks to be back on track, the Bengals should take care of the Bills.
The game of the day for me is the Seahawks - Rams. I hope Goff keeps rolling and has a great game against Pete's Plantation.
