lol that's certainly an interesting theory. While I don't really believe that was what happened, the way he threw the towel right in front of the ref basically and kind of stared at him for an extra second would support this. But we've seen kickers drill 47 yard FGs in blinding snowstorms and I think an NFL kicker should be expected to have a reasonable chance of hitting that kick, or at least reasonable enough to attempt the kick when you are struggling to move the ball and put points up. Watching the replay I was expecting to see them kind of sneaky pull out a towel or something. But that wasn't it at all. It was as if they were trying to make it as obvious as possible. I was thinking that someone misread a rule and really thought it would be OK. I do love a conspiracy theory though.

It looks like you can watch the games that are shown in your local market(including playoff games), but only on phone/tablet. If you had TV access to those games already there's probably an app that lets you watch them on mobile, so my guess is that it's really only useful for true cordcutters who want mobile access but are only doing antenna for local channels instead of an OTT provider like Youtube TV or Sling. I took a cursory look at it. That was my impression too. I also understand that they have a higher tier, for more money, but it only gets you the ability to stream replays of the games. Seems like a waste of money to me. It's worth noting that people overseas can buy all the games live......so this whole crappy setup is due to the DirecTV contract, which hopefully goes away after this year. I get that DirecTV showered the NFL with money to keep that exclusive rights package but in the process the NFL lost a lot of ground in their nationwide offering to all fans. All the other major sports are way ahead and have been for years. Also there's the fact that the NFL app is about as user friendly as a fighter jet cockpit, but that's another story...

Quite possible.

Trying to explain that unsportsmanlike penalty to my wife was fun. "No, no, it's only okay if the Patriots do it." https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/snow-plow-game/ "Henderson, a convicted burglar on work release from a nearby prison, said Meyer motioned for him to clear the snow for his kicker. The Patriots coach originally said quarterback Steve Grogan was the one who told Henderson to commit the act. He later apologized." LOL, a movie script writer would be told to tone down the hyperbole a bit.

Dak’s hand needs surgery.
-
And it’s getting worse as we go along.
-
It’s like the entire league forgot how to kick field goals.
-
Clearly missed Adams today. Also, WTF Cincy not challenging a TD throw and nobody else on that roster can snap?
-
Cracking a beer. Cheers everyone! I understand this is a surprise win, but I don’t think it’s that shocking because the Bears outplayed the 49ers in the second half. I think they might be over playing that hand a little bit.
-
Happy but leave the door open like that, it’s usually trouble
-
Of course it's a real rule, just one that no one has ever thrown a flag on before How many times have you seen a holder use a towel to dry the field and a flag isn’t called? Speaking only for myself, zero

I’ll have to take a look but I doubt that.
-
You’d think after watching football so long I’ve seen everything but that’s a new one for me.
-
Oh for god sake
-
That was really nice by fields.
-
Offense sucks, defense gets tired, lose. Repeat x17 Season.
-
It’s just as much the weakness of the Oline as it is Fields.
-
Yes.
-
It was going to happen sooner or later. Was hoping it would be a field goal but whatever.
-
Maybe best case scenario is give up a FG to flip the field position. Because being backed up all game isn’t going to work out.
-
I loved what I saw too, and I’m starting to get pumped about seeing how Fields’ 2nd year pans out. That video focuses on the one TD pass which was obviously a major breakdown in coverage but his dart to Griffin was golden, all the rollout stuff was excellent, and he seemed to be able to survey his options rather than having to lock in. I think he might’ve even done a little no-look on one throw. It was good all-around.
-
Sanborn was a solid LB at UW you’d think that was worth a late round pick.
-
Paahhlumph. Bottom drops out.
-
This isn’t fun.

What the....? USC and UCLA in negotiations to join B1G

I hate this. That is all.
