LittleHurt05 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 12:05 AM) Manziel flipped off the Redskins sideline. As if he and the Browns need more media attention. The NFL is so ridiculous. Between all the bad stuff off the field, the way players are used and abused by teams, suddenly a talented kid shows a little bit of attitude and he is treated like the devil.

Should be noted Manziel has often played on Cleveland 2nd team offense, considering how bad their starting WRs are, can't imagine it gets better.

Given that you know the cameras are on you 24-7, he needs to find a more subtler way to return trash talk. He needs to show that it doesnt get to him before he starts trash talking. Flipping them the bird shortly after Orakpo did the money grab showed he has thin skin, and you can bet that other teams are gonna do the same thing to him until he shows that it doesnt matter to him.

StrangeSox Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The NFL is asking music acts to pay the NFL to play at the Superbowl. http://www.avclub.com/article/coldplay-rih...play-sup-208329 Rihanna, Katy Perry, or Coldplay might be doing the Super Bowl halftime show this year—that is, if they’re willing to pay up. According to The Wall Street Journal, the NFL has narrowed down its list of potential performers for the 2015 gig to those three candidates, though it’s also asking “at least some of the acts” if they’d be willing to pay the league for the privilege of playing the halftime show—something that’s absolutely insane, but not 100 percent unreasonable, considering how many people actually watch the performance. Alternately (and this is where it gets wacky), they should “be willing to contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income to the league.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ah...i'm good with that. I watch less and less sports live with the little one at home. 7 PST is perfect cause I can record and sit down on the couch around 7:45 after we put the little one down and relax with the wife and the Bears!!!
