Crazy prediction?

He gets mad when brady won't throw to him when he isn't open, they argue, he takes a couple practices off to sulk, post some nonsense about Belichick on tweaker and ends up pumping gas somewhere. That takes up a day or two of week 3.

Pretty close prediction.

I was way off on the why portion though.

The new allegations and the press pretty much only asking about him was the most likely tipping point. There was also a payment deadline on his bonus that was today.

So they could keep him, at a cost of at least the 5 million that was due today, plus his weekly salary, and be totally out when the commissioner declared him ineligible, or cut him loose, be done with the distraction and bad PR, and probably only owe about 150K for the week he played.

Pretty easy choice.

Lions go 8-7-1

Ninety flag League.

There will be more penalty flags this year than any other year. Record setting.
In at least one game the penalty yardage (backwards) will equal the offense yardage (forward)
First downs via penalty will exceed first downs by the offense in several games.

Over-turned calls by instant replay will decide another playoff game or two.

No fun League is just one of the many nicknames for NFL.

There has to be at least one penalty on every play. Let’s call ‘em. Every player on the field should have his own official. Offensive holding calls would then eliminate 90% of the first downs. Nothing more exciting than a field-position punting duel in my book. If golfers can now drive the ball 360 yards, 80 yard field goals should now be common place.
