Ravens are down 17-7, Lamar lobs it up into triple coverage. There's a man between the ball and receiver. Interception!
Ravens fan: "Behind the interception there was a hit around the same time the ball should have been there, even if it was never going to get there! They should call a penalty and give the Ravens another chance to still be losing by double digits. Not fair!"

You're a full on retard.

You can admit it... Chiefs are ref favorites in the playoffs.

16 Mahomes INTs wiped out by penalty. Lamar throws a pick with an obvious penalty and you reeeeeeeeeee like a weirdo.

“The insult dishonors the one who infers it, not the one who receives it.”

-Diógenes the cynic-

Among people who insult, grandiose narcissists are the most common. They usually choose two very specific types of insults, those that refer to uselessness and those that relate to stupidity. Therefore, they use these offensive resources to criticize people they see as naive or lacking in intellect or stupid and inept.'

Part of me wants ownership to stick to their guns and fine his ass for every game he doesn't play. Don't reward bad behavior.

The fan in me wants them to pay him whatever he wants because I want the best possible team on the field.

Either way it's pretty annoying.
Dude has 2 years left on his current contract.
Why would you support the owners over the players? I'm a Detroit fan but live in Cincinnati. Mike Brown is a cheap ass who doesn't care.

Owners constantly break contracts by releasing players early. Or playing around with the contract. Chase is doing the only thing he can for leverage aside from faking an injury. The game is too tilted in the owners' favor.

Honestly... all contracts just need to be fully guaranteed and get rid of all the shady cap moves like void years/etc.

Ir's a contract. 2 yrs remaining. Next year is when all this shit should happen.

I do agree that the players union for the NFL is weak. Contracts should be guaranteed. And structured rookie contracts should have escalators built into them if the player outperforms a certain percentage of the league. Easily achieved for skill positions - not as easy for offensive linemen or blocking TEs/FBs.

There is scuttlebutt that Bengals Brass and Chase have resumed talks. I'm not a fan of Mike Brown - that's for sure - but I don't know how much he is actually involved in the day-to-day anymore. He isn't a pimple on his dad's ass.

I like those ideas for contracts. I also wish there were accelerators for certain positions that take a lot of wear and tear like RB for example.

I grew up in Detroit and got to watch Barry so I'll always be a Lions fan but living in Cincinnati, I would like the team to do relatively well. It's good for the area and the ownership of Bengals (and Reds honestly) leave a lot to be desired.

NFL rookie contracts do have performance escalators, but they definitely should be more comprehensive. I think only 2nd through 7th round picks are eligible and they only apply to certain years. The problem before was pay aligning with value, but if value is demonstrated that shouldn’t be an issue.

The NFLPA has gotten its ass handed to them two consecutive negotiations.
