Kaep wants change, but can't be bothered to vote or even follow the election.

I'm not sure that Kaep isn't pulling a long joke at this point or trying to be the poster child for the "Everyone wins and nobody gets spanked" generation.

I want society to change, but I refuse to do anything about it other than take a knee during a song and get paid millions to be bad at a child's game.

All-time record of NFL's answer to the Washington Generals falls to .500.

The Vikes look to make it four in a row today. I'm starting to wonder if they'll pull off another win this season. If you can't knock off Detroit and Chicago, you're useless.

If you didn't see the ending for Saints-Broncos, watch the highlights. Unbelievable ending and a BULLSHIT call and non-reversal.

Going to lose in the catt unless OBJ dies and AJ Green lights it up. Will bring me to .500 there. Lack of RB depth is killing me. I need AP and\or Dion Lewis to come back. On the flip side, killing in the pussy league, even with Jordan Reed's performance scooped by Vernon Davis. If I'd put in Davante Adams instead of 60 Minutes, I'd have over 150 and high score for the first time this season. However, the win only brings me to a shitty 4-6 over there. My RBs have been fairly good there, but my inconsistent WR stats destroyed my chances to win 2-3 close games. Not to mention Reed's craptacular year so far. Not the best keeper pick.

Yep, including the Vikes losing. Fucking wtf? You explode in the 2nd quarter and then get FG'd to death while your QB again turns the ball over at the worst fucking time imaginable. Minnesota had 47 rushing yards on 23 attempts for an average so low I'm not even going to bother calculating. That leaves Sam Bradford doing his best Elvis Grbac impression, i.e. choking during every single clutch moment. Hello, 6-10.

Redskins are 4-0 against teams that had winning records going into the games. Which means 1-3-1 against .500 or worse (inc 0-0 Steelers)

He's got a free pass until the end of the season. Taking out Green Bay in the inaugural home dome game and the subsequent winning steak cemented his starting job.

Honestly, the no-call I see is offensive pass interference, not defensive. Gronk runs straight into the defender, the extends his arms to push him out if the way
Gronkowski said he hadn't been trying to initiate contact but that "it just happened."

"He was playing off me a little bit, pretty far, farther than usual," Gronkowski said. "You usually don't see that, and it was a fake, so I had to go up to him and make a little move."

My fantasy team snapped their win streak this week and the Steelers lost. Both games were ridiculously close though, so not the worst of outcomes.

Big Ben making waves.

Calling his team undisciplined and not accountable is a direct shot at the coaches, not the players.

Alshon racks up a 4-game PED timeout.

Collinsworth not a big Bill Simmons fan.

Collinsworth's response was savage, but I listen to Simmons' podcast and he's never said anything untrue. I think that's what makes it so hard for Collinsworth to take.

Simmons' show did suck though. I'm not sure what format he was going for or why he started it in the summer. Summer is when people are doing other things and not paying attention to sports.

Mike Evans took a knee before Sunday's game during the national anthem to protest Trump's victory. Here's the funny part: Evans didn't bother voting.

USA Today pens opinion piece on why Steelers shouldn't fire Tomlin.

There's a reason USA Today doesn't allow comments, and the writer here is lucky they don't. This article is complete shit.

Let me sum it up:
"Tomlin won a Super Bowl and lost another using a team built by Cowher, so even though all indications are that the team has steadily gotten worse under his tenure, he'll turn it around."

He's 19-23 against teams .500 or worse. He's 5-13 against losing teams. He's horrible on the road. He has a hall of fame QB, the league's best WR, a decent O line, and one of the best RBs in the league yet his team could only muster 67 yards of offense in 3 quarters at Baltimore. The penalties are out of control and cost them the game against Dallas. The 10 penalties in the first half against Baltimore, which amounted to more yardage than the offense had put up, didn't help.

Where's the evidence that anything is being turned around? I hope I'm wrong, but past performance is not an indicator of future success and right now, the team is terribly coached.
