NFL Loves To Be In Headlines

The NFL right now is the top professional sport that even when there are no games being played they still steal the headlines.  Inflate Gate began during Super Bowl week and stay within the first two minutes of all sports headlines all off season.

Once the season started the biggest headlines has fallen to the many mistakes being made by the officials. Is it a catch or not? Each and every week that is the biggest question in one or two games that effect the outcome.

One of the biggest problem with any sport that uses any type of replay is it puts pressure on referees or umpires.  There are many plays that even when the replay looks at it they still can't Say one way or the other.  Knowing that the camera may know the correct answer refs to many times make a call knowing that what ever they call it will be reviewed so let's do nothing so that is what happened in New York with Beckham.

Yes the refs allowed  the Panther/Giants game to be a disgrace.  One of the most disappointing in the aftermath was head coach Tom Coughlin admitting he failed to remove Beckham because without him he knew the Giants could not win.  Isn't this the same coach when he first arrived in New York he had long practices and required discipline from every player.  Now he has lost all discipline control and the Giants will again not make playoffs.

Now let's talk about slurs.  Now we all know that street talk there is all kind on conversation while games are going on.  All of a sudden it is repulsive to say anything that might be about a player's sexual persuasion.  Now let's for a second talk about language heard every where and they are the words MF.  Now in our society today is used more than any other.  But isn't that talking about incest?  We as a society are very selective about what we will allow and what we will not.  Why do we have to have any talk of any kind that is derogatory to anyone.

Finally congratulations to Todd Gurley who this week has been named to the Pro Bowl or the NFL's all star game.  Didn't even see the field until the third quarter of the third game and since has rushed for 1000 yards.  Stay healthy and he could be one of he greatest running backs ever.
