Football (North America: NFL, CFL, Arena Football, minor leagues)

A quirky intersection between NCAA football and the CFL.

Watching USC play Utah tonight (regrettably, the University of Spoiled Children held on to win by a point), I noticed the USC coaching staff using 3' square pro team logos as signals from the sideline. One of the logos I saw was for the Los Angeles Lakers. The other was for the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Interesting choice for a team so far from the Canadian border, though I guess that logo is pretty distinctive and so works well for communications from the sideline.

Get well soon, Aaron.

What an upset. Giants beat Broncos.

Yay Pats!

I was to say f*ck the Pats, but I won't do so seeing the nice gesture they had with a boy who unfortunately passed away from a brain cancer called DIPG a few days ago...

Update the health issues on NFL players in the long term are at play here.

Zeke suspended, for real this time.

[texaskdog]

I'm sure Goodell thinks he really accomplished something.  Maybe someday some woman will accuse him of the same thing and he can be automatically guilty.

You a Cowboys fan?

Zeke suspended, for real this time.

Almost certainly, but let's see if his lawyers can pull another rabbit out of their hats (or wherever).

I was not surprised that the appeals panel swiftly denied Zeke's motion, though. And there are advantages to starting the suspension this weekend. That increases the odds he'll be back by Christmas Eve, in time to get ready for the postseason if the Cowboys don't lose too many games in Zeke's absence.

pats resigned Martellus Bennett.

[Desert Man]

I believe the Raiders will relocate to Las Vegas, regardless of fan efforts by Raider Nation to keep the team in Oakland. I was told the stadium project just broke ground in Las Vegas. The LA metro area has its Rams back, but in a legal tug of war on the Chargers with San Diego.

Martellus Bennett makes mean comments to Packers doctor and many former and current Packers defend the doctor.

[tchafe1978]

Martellus Bennett is a whiny little bitch who was just upset he wasn't catching enough passes with the Packers and was just looking for a way out. Pardon my French, but fuck him.

He's an overrated TE with a participation SB ring from the Pats. Probably the only reason why he hasn't talked shit to the Pats

Bingo. The Bennett brothers thrive on attention, for better or (mostly) worse.

He was fine on the Bears...but when John Fox came to town, he sent Marty packing, because (supposedly) Fox didn't like Marty, because Marty isn't "Footbally" all the time. I think Bennett is a pretty good TE -- granted, his personality has rubbed some people wrong, at many stops of his career. Apparently the McCarthy Regime in Green Bay is another that doesn't mix well with Bennett

Bennett was a regular on a couple of Chicago Sports Radio shows, and was absolutely awesome. So much personality and life, beyond the Football stuff. Quite a comic book junkie, if memory serves.

Who knows, maybe Marty road-geeks, too...

Jamie Collins of the Browns out for the year. Browns fell to 0-9 last night.

Jerry Jones has been feuding with Roger Goodel lately.

[Stephane Dumas]

Let's see who'll win the 2017 Grey Cup championship between the Calgary Stampeders and the Toronto Argonauts.

[Roadgeekteen]

The Browns lose again and the Browns, 49ers, and Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention.

Snowing like mad in Ottawa tonight. This is gonna be fun (ESPN2).

I'll be watching the Grey Cup game too (splitting that with Rams-Saints, since if the Saints lose they fall into a tie with my Panthers in the NFC South).

Interesting that the game is being played on a neutral field. The ones I've seen before were on the home field of one of the teams in the Grey Cup. Maybe since this is Canada's 150th anniversary?

Playing in Ottawa was certainly more convenient for Canada's Governor General to conduct the coin toss. She was up in Inuvik NT a week and a half ago for the opening of the new highway to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic coast, completing a "coast to coast to coast" road link between Tuktoyaktuk and the rest of Canada.
