Around the NFL

No clue where to post some stuff not necessarily team related but could be? Feel free to delete if this belongs somewhere else.



Maxx and Parsons would be nasty. I probably wouldn’t pay the price though.

You know that all came out to be false right? His baby mama was diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome. If anything he was railroaded because of posts like your still being put up. Just sayin and maybe he is a trash human but that stuff you speak of it ain't it.

I don’t believe the recording that came out was fake if that’s what ur referring to? He did tell her she should be terrified. I’m not saying he broke the kids arm.

IMO telling a woman she needs to be terrified of you makes you trash.

Did the 7 recent DV allegations come out to be false also? I’m not buying this guy has just been railroaded in every relationship he has had.

In case you were wondering about NFL football rules and regs...

Excerpts from an article in The Athletic:

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/668045 ... ing-balls/

"Before the start of the season, the NFL sent each team 60 footballs with a “K” stamp (“K-balls”) in the summer, from which they can choose three balls to use for as many as three games each.

Time-sensitive work that used to be done by ball boys for specialists right before games now unfolds throughout the week.

“You’re trying to break down the seams and you’re trying to round the ball out and then you’re also trying to make it a little bit more tactile cause it comes out kind of slippery right out of the box. … You’re supposed to only be able to use this brush that Wilson makes,” said Detroit Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp. “It’s a hard brush and you can use the brush. Now they say you could use any part of the brush, so you could use the backside of the wooden brush. So those guys would take the backside of the brush on the seams, they would take the bristle side of the brush and smooth the ball out and then obviously you see those kickers push the tip of the ball into the tee before they kick off throughout the course of the game … they’re also trying to flatten it out or round the thing out. And the rounder and smoother you can get it and the more grippy you can get it, the better for really all three of those guys — snapper, punter, kicker.”

The idea is not only to break in the leather but to make the kicker’s foot as familiar with the football as possible. Specialists will now snap and kick the balls they want to use in that week’s game generally between 75 and 100 times, instead of only getting a few kicks with a “cold” ball during pre-game warmups."


"Quarterbacks also get their footballs throughout the week (and have for almost two decades). The same general rules for approved footballs apply for specialists and quarterbacks: The shape of the ball can’t be changed from what the NFL rulebook calls a “prolate spheroid” and the ball must measure and weigh to specific standards. Yet quarterbacks have long worked their footballs into their exact preferences (some notoriously so). A quarterback knows the minute differences between his chosen game balls and any new one. So does a specialist.

On game days, 12 primary footballs, 12 backups and the three K-balls are inspected by officials before the game, according to the NFL rulebook. If a ball is deemed to be in violation of the league’s parameters (if it’s too obviously a different shape or weight, wet, etc.), it is discarded and the team is subject to typical penalties such as fines, as Pro Football Talk reported.

Any chosen football must be retired after a maximum of three games. The balls are marked with a sticker by officials to note how many times they have been used. If the sticker is removed or accidentally falls off, that ball can no longer be used.

The Panthers recently had to let go of one of their preferred K-balls before the three-game maximum for that reason — the sticker came off.

“We can’t put that ball in the game, so we were all very sad about that,” said Jansen somberly. “… We lost a good ball today.”"

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith are frustrated with their roles in the offense.

You didn’t need a paid subscription to the Athletic to figure out Brown was unhappy this year, he made that clear in the postgame press briefing after totaling seven yards on nine targets in Week 4. Smith hasn’t been as vocal, but his underwhelming numbers this year have come on even less targets (20) than Brown has received (28). The Eagles are 4-0 and there’s been no indication Philadelphia intends to lean more towards the pass going forward. They face the Broncos’ top secondary in Week 5.

This is why I say...fck these players. I don't feel one ounce of empathy for them and they are here for my entertainment only. This fcking team is 4-0 and coming off a Super Bowl victory and you're frustrated with your role in the offense? They care about money and personal achievements, not wins.

Yep and say what you want about Cowherd but he said a long time ago that the fans care more about the team than what the players do

I listened to Cowherd for a few years, I kinda got tired of some of his shtick, but he is a very bright guy.

OMG. That's awful. Prayers up for his speedy recovery.

Just ask Amari Cooper why Fields is smart to do this

Wouldn’t want any of them

Eagles are defending super bowl champs and currently undefeated but the receivers still full diva. The chiefs and bills have the right idea get rid of guys when they go diva.

I wouldn't be using the Bills as an example. They haven't won shit.

To each his own, but as a football fan, I’d rather be livin’ the Bills version of not winning shit than the Raiders.

Maybe. But only bc they have a superstar QB. Other than that, it's all the same in the end. Year after year.

Yep. At the very least they have a shot at winning it all every year. Sign me up for a perennial playoff team over the shit show we're used to watching. Not sure why anyone would want different

I think Mark was partying last night.
