What’s interesting in the fallout of Tom Brady’s overturned suspension, Jolly Roger seems to have had his legs cut out from under him. Throw in the Bounty-gate overturning, and the absolute bungling of the Ray Rice/Greg Hardy suspensions overturnings and reinstatements, players these days are immune to misdeeds. Barring convictions. Seeing as most of these guys can lawyer up pretty hard, and can therefore put things off til the season is over, they are pretty much able to live abouve the law and hide behind the shield.
I’m sure this isn’t was Goodie Goodell intended by being a hard-ass not interested in due process, but now the players use that very tactic to put off legal proceedings.
Aldon Smith is the latest example of a guy who has burned bridges and broken laws at every turn, and yet gets a make-good deal with the Raiders. And we all know that if he was a scrub, he’d be working at Home Depot stocking shelves. But hey, I don’t begrudge the guy a damn thing. Get what you can get while you can. There’s no law against accepting a job offer.
My point is some should make a stand regarding this. Tiring, sure to point this out again, but the league and the owners don’t care that some of their players are habitual criminals. Domestic abusers, child abusers, drunk drivers, and drug-fueled steroid freaks. All is fine as long as the collective perception jives with the reality that no one really cares what these guys do. Except for the victims of their misdeeds, of course.
So who makes the stand? Well, in the Niners case recently, Jim Harbaugh hid behind the very due process keeping these guys on the field. Of course he gave Seattle and the Ravens shit for the steroid problems and the Ray Rice deal, but he sure wimped out when the chickens came home to roost in the form of Aldon Smith and Ray McDonald. He ate teo big helpings of crow over that shit.
Course it took 3 strikes to force the Nienrs hand with both RayMac and Aldon. Now they can at least try to get in front of another situation by benching Ahmad Brooks. The team? Hiding behind the shield. Same with Sir Jed Tweetsalot. Seeing as Harbs wimped out, maybe Jim Tomsula will be the one to make a stand.
Forty Niners Forever 
Seems Dez Bryant broke a bone in his foot tonight?
Not gonna bode well for Mr Romo if his primary weapon goes down for any length of time.
Sorry – forgot the link –

Romo and Dez or Kap and Crabtree from the past and still going forward?
I just punched myself in the goddamn throat for asking such a moronic question.
Easy Del, throat punching one’s self can be a hazardous situation.
I will give the nod to Romo for Pocket awareness at this stage of Kaep’s career.
Hoping Kaep can learn that phase of the position REALLY soon.
How many playoff games won, Romo v Kap?….Thought so.
Also seeing a report that DE Randy Gregory could miss 4-6 weeks for the ‘Boys with an ankle injury.
Rough opening week in Big Duh, and elsewhere, around the League today.
Suggs done for the year in Baltimore too. BIG Ouch there for their D.
Huge loss.
I’m with you NJ, Fuck the Dallas Cowfucks.
Winder I can respect some of their Star players over the years, (Emmitt certainly was/is a class act) but, I’ve acquired an affliction to flip off Jerruh whenever his pastie white face invades my television screen.
Can’t stand Michael Irvin either.
By and large, Jerruh is a DICK.
Therefore, I despise “Columbia’s” Team with a vengeance.
Let’s see, do I take old Tony Romo or young Kap? I think Romo is about a 10 year vet with one play-off win despite having some really good teams. Kap is in his 4th or 5th year with 5 or 6 play-off wins and would have won a Super Bowl if the coach doesn’t call a time out. Hmmmm! I’ll go with Kap.
What was Eli doing making a rookie mistake? Worse yet, what kind of play calling was that from the coach. When Eli went back to pass I started to look for Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines. The giants could have run 40 more seconds off the clock but elected to outsmart themselves instead. When I see play ailing like that I have to wonder what low standards it must take for the job. And then a veteran QB throws it away instead of intentionally taking the sack when nobody was open? They deserved to lose.
Happy Opening Day Boys!
My flag goes up before Kick Off
Let’s hope we’ve found some Offense in the Red Zone
Hope it’s a successful start tonight
Can’t wait to see what they’ve cooked up!
The 2015 Season is on! 😀
It is only one game so probably a little early to tell but so far Roman is looking OK as an OC which means the problem on offense was Harbaugh. I always said we need to get rid of Roman to see if it was Roman or Harbaugh. I’m not going to say yet but early indications are it was Harbaugh.
This is for you Rob!!!!!!!!
Go 9ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
I would think there has to be an idiot out there somewhere who saw Lynch get stuffed on 4th and 1 to end the game and tell us how last year’s pass play at the end of the game was not such a bad call. You just know some idiot had to say it.
Seems to me all the teams in the NFC West have bad offensive lines and good defensive lines. That should sure make for high powered offenses, NOT. Expect for some sloppy games in the division.
Dennis your mom raised an idiot.
Fuck you,dumb ass. Mr October won a game? Yay! May Preston Riley shit on your head for all eternity.
You are the worst fan ever. Give it up, pal.
I assumed the boys lost after the fumbled TD return. Oh well. There’s plenty of time to choke before the playoffs. Right delmer dumbass?
One more thing about Romo. It is rare to see a QB with that much time in the pocket to throw. When you see a QB just standing there untouched it looked like a Tom Brady game. Difference between the two, Brady blows out the Giants and Romo squeaks one out. For me, the credit goes more to the offensive line than Tony Romo.
It is like last year when the 49ers played the Raiders. Carr had all day to throw and Kap was under siege. Of course Carr looked better.
Giants are getting roasted in NY for being stupid.
Good to see Jerry paying off the refs again. More hookers for Blandino?
DEL
After your Kap vs.Romo post maybe you SHOULD punch yourself in the throat. Lol
For sure you’re definitely fired as my GM .
I Mean you were right about the whole Harbaugh vs. Manning thing but Jesus Christ man
