2018 NFL off-season thread: Mr. Alex Smith goes to Washington

Less than a 3rd round pick is an offer they couldn't refuse?

 

Didn’t the Michael Bennett deal confuse you as well?

 

Yes

 

No that was me.

 

So maybe there was a reason that Seattle moved quick to sell Bennett: Michael Bennett indicted on felony charge in Texas

 

The Harris County District Attorney's Office accuses Bennett of injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic woman who was working to control access to the field during the game. Prosecutors claim Bennett, 32, injured the victim after he pushed his way onto the field after being told to use another entrance for field access.

She must have picked him out in a racist manner and let everyone else on. Everyone is always picking on him.

 

What are the qualifications for that job?

" Acevedo called Bennett “morally corrupt,” “morally bankrupt,” and said, “I think it’s pretty pathetic that you’d put your hands on a 66-year-old paraplegic and treat them like they don’t exist.”

According to Acevedo, Bennett “forcibly opened locked doors” on his way to the field at Super Bowl 51 before pushing past two stadium workers and injuring the 66-year-old paraplegic woman. She apparently suffered a sprained shoulder, and according to Acevedo, when a police officer confronted Bennett, he told them “Fuck you,” and “You all must know who I am, and I could own this motherfucker. I’m going on the field whether you like it or not.” The officer then walked away from Bennett."

It sure smells like he is being really being charged with being an uppity rich negro, being charged with a felony for pushing past a security guard and the police chief holding a press conference to question his morals.

"Also, and I might get some flack for this one, but what the fuck is the paraplegic lady doing as a security guard? At the Super Bowl no less. I understand inclusiveness and all that, but at some point being a paraplegic has to encumber her ability to do her job. Hey Betty, someone just ran onto the field at your security checkpoint. What are you going to do? Wheel after her?"

 

Gotta be honest: That was the first thought that popped into my head when I saw the story.

 

NFL committee: Non-catch by Steelers' Jesse James would be a completion in 2018

So, the Jesse James play against the Patriots would be a catch under the rule adjustment proposed by the NFL competition committee. I'm not sure if this will be clearer going forward and it just makes the whole thing more annoying to me. Also, it doesn't address the major problem with that play, that the replay officials seem to have forgotten the part about only overturning calls if there is indisputable evidence.

 

She was asking for it.
