It is the buttpad built into the girdles/tights/compression shorts. They started making them about 5-6 years ago with the hip, butt, and thigh pads built into the tights so they are lighter and provide better movement.

"I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback," Flacco said when asked where he thinks he ranks among NFL quarterbacks. "I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way. I mean, c'mon? That's not really too tough of a question.
"That doesn't mean that things are going to work out that way. It just means that's the way it is -- that's the way I feel that it is and that's the way I feel it should be." Flacco taking the Eli approach this season. |

I didn't know Cincy had a player on their team named Bengals. That's amazing.

Don't see the problem with shifting their "classic" design to the new technology. Apparently the players love the new jerseys and they allow easier movement. Just doesn't make sense to me, they're gonna make the change eventually anyway if the players really do prefer them more. Why delay the inevitable?

How long has he been in the NFL? He still doesn't know how to answer questions like that?
"Do you think you're a top 5 QB?" "Well you know that's not for me to decide. I just go out there every week and blah blah blah" |

Jeter needs to open a school to teach athletes how to say absolutely nothing to the media.

Don't want to defend Flacks here, but every starting QB should probably answer that question the way he did. I've always liked the whole "If I don't think I'm the best, then why am I here?" mentality.

Then he needs to back it up. The best QBs in the league, guys like Brady and Brees, don't have to consistently be bailed out by their defenses, and can even win when the D is failing. By making comments like this Flacco just opens himself up to even more criticism for the coming season than he was going to face anyway. Just take the stock neutral answer and shut up

If Flacco is the best in the NFL, then Matt Moore is also playing at a Hall of Fame level

That's not really the point though. He's saying that every starting QB should believe that they are the best or have the potential to be the best. I agree with him, to be honest.

And he can think that all he wants, but that's not how the media will view it. They'll latch on to the "I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best." part, hype the shit out of it to the national audience and then suddenly Joe is under even more pressure all because of an unnecessary "well intentioned" comment

Fuck Gregg Williams. Dude should never be allowed to coach again. Dude was telling his players to hit Frank Gore in the head (read the full article, he wasn't being metaphorical), take out Crabtree's ACL (it's an unspoken rule that taking out another player's needs is off limits and most guys would rather take a head shot than have their knees chopped out), take out Vernon Davis's ankles and put big shots on a player returning from a concussion. It's one thing to tell your guys to go for big hits, it's something else to target specific body parts or injuries. The game was never meant to be that and if he was saying that about the 49ers in that playoff game, imagine what he was telling his guys to do against Favre. No sympathy for the A'ints at all. They got what they deserve. |

No, this works against them and totally fucks Williams. The NFL warned them before the playoffs last year, this shows they chose to ignore it. Whether they directly had anything to do with it is irrelevant in the NFL's eyes, they repeatedly failed to control the guy(s) they're in charge of. It happens everywhere in the world, the actions of a lowly employee can affect everyone above him on the ladder

This might actually fuck the players involved even more too since it's from the night before their most recent game. If NFL personnel weren't aware of this audio existing when they were interviewing Saints players and coaches, any player who didn't come clean about how long it was going on has been pretty much exposed as a liar and can be suspended merely for lying to the commissioner's office, let alone the bounty program.

I still don't think players can be suspended because some of those players play for other teams now (e.g. Porter, Ayodele, Fajita, Dunbar, ect).. It would be unfair to those franchises..

And, any illegal hit should have been called on the field and a fine/suspension should have taken place when it happened..
Pretty much be Goodell having to admit he (or the NFL in general) fucked up and wasn't protecting players.. As I said, I'm sure teams like the Steelers had more penalties than the Saints.. |

there's a difference between not protecting players through inadequacy or poor job performance etc and being publicly outed as having guys specifically go out of there way to attempt to injure/damage the long term health of other professionals. it's like saying Saddam should have been trialed and punished whilst he was committing genocide on his country as a reason to not execute him

and it still happened on Payton's watch, no way he doesn't know about this stuff
pretty staggering audio really, especially after everything related to concussions and head shots that they've been trying to clamp down on. fuck them |

aye, what's hypocritical here? violence/intensity/being on the edge/crushing people is very much a part of the game and guys get hurt. somebody nails Star Running Back #1 and knocks him out of the game, fair enough, you aren't going to be too sad about that. actively encouraging and sponsoring that is a different thing altogether.

In boxing, mixed martial arts and football there's an assumption of risk that all participants are aware of. Especially today with so much advancement in medicine and knowledge of trauma. Boxers and MMA fighters know the other guy is going to try to knock him out or submit him just like football players know the other guy is going to try to knock the snot out of him. Being tackled is as much a part of football as being punched is a part of combat sports. HOWEVER, just as fighters can reasonably expect to have a clean match devoid of low blows, rabbit punches, wraps laced with plaster of paris and eye gouges, football players should be able to play the game without worrying about the opposing side purposely trying to concuss them or injure them by targeting their knees. Just as boxing fans can be upset when someone like Antonio Margarito gets caught with loaded gloves, football fans can be disgusted by the idea of an opposing coach telling his players to target a guy's ACL. I don't give a damn about coaches using war rhetoric, violent imagery, cursing and even telling their players to try to decleet a guy coming back from injury to see if he's skittish. Williams went beyond that. There's no way in hell you can say it's okay for him to advocate going after another players ACL or telling his guys to purposely hit Frank Gore in the head when concussion awareness and prevention is at the top of the NFL's agenda and there is medical evidence of the long term effects of concussions. If you can't see the difference between advocating and celebrating clean, hard hits (which players expect) and a coach telling players to go after a guy's ACL, you need to take some time and think about it.
