Week 12 NFL Thread

Gronkowski's catch two weeks ago was pretty insane, too.

 

Jesus, the NFL Network just lets Deion and Michael Irvin talk over every single highlight duing their Sunday night highlight show. Three guys talking at once. Well, two talking (Sanders and Chris Rose), and one screaming about the 88 Club.

What am I supposed to do, turn the channel and listen to Berman?

 

I thought the 88 Club would have a totally different membership that wasn't likely to be featured on NFL highlights.

 

Beckham's catch was amazing, but how would you compare it to either of these catches

"Gonos stepped towards Manziel and was promptly punched in the face..."

 

Not even close.

 

There's like four better highlights in the NFL every week than either of those.

 

Not for anything, but in this day and age, if you're a professional athlete and a grown man you don't know steps up to hug you, your entourage - which likely entails some security personnel - should step in.

 

Beckham's catch was phenomenal but I recall John Jefferson and Wes Chandler having some amazing catches as well.

 

Agreed.

When I was covering the NFL, I was at sports bar doing a radio remote and we had a Pro Bowl offensive lineman, a guy who was 6-4, 300 and absolutely ripped to shreds, on the show. After the show, he hung out for a Q&A I was doing and some drunk idiot walked up to him and said, "I'll bet I can kick your ass." and shoved the table into him.

I was just stunned, but he told me this happens very frequently. You never know if these guys actually want to fight them or if they're hoping the guy belts them so they can sue.

 

Any of the good people here have an opinion on Dominic Raiola diving Zach Moore's knees on the last play of the game?

My opinion? Suspend him for the rest of the season.

Apparently the league is looking only at a fine. When you try to injure someone and then brag about it, that's not enough.

 

He should be suspended for being dumb enough to admit why he did it. Upset the other team is scoring? Stop them.

I can only hope this is the beginning of another Lions implosion.
