[Drink IRON City]

Derwin James (charger saftey) suspended 1 game without pay for his blatant hit on Muth.

NFL sent him a notice saying this suspension is for his accumulated neglect of the rules in place for player safety.

I saw that during the game. I thought the NFL had a team watching for those hits during the game and would call down to the ref for a penalty or to review for targeting. He definitely lowered his head and dove at Muuuth's head. The NFL got this one right after the fact.

Just in time for the chief's game...

The league might want to mitigate the coincidences that keep helping out KC... even if not intentional, it looks bad...

Hell the PI and non PI calls in back to back weeks make it really look like they are catering to them... thats bad for business.. teenage girls are not gonna be hardcore fans like the gamblers are... dont piss off tge gamblers.. thats how sports die

You have to consider the perp also..

88 is very fortunate he didn’t suffer another concussion ..that world of been devastating to the young man that struggles with a delicate cranium ..

The announcer stated it was Derwin's 2nd PF. I thought that was an automatic sit down in a game, unless they were alluding to another this season.

I think is was another to this season. I'm going out of memory but thought that was his first at that time of the game.

At least there is a consequence to action, helps keep other teams from thinking STEELERS players are free game.

I don't recall them calling a penalty for the hit during the game.

They made the call on the field. It was right.

Here's my question - why didn't he get the same punishment as Kazee???

A cynic might say if KC was three games away, he may well have

I just want them to call everything equal on all or remove the rule. Pretty simple.
Stop slanting the damn games.

T'aint happening to much $$$denar$$$ at stake to call a fair game.

The good O'l days of integrity / fairness / best team wins, has turned into manipulating games to keep viewers for the ratings and money tilt.

I know. It just makes me feel better saying it.
It's just a massive sports "entertainment " buisness now and nothing more.

The promotion of gambling and fantasy football was the final nail in the coffin.

At least that's my perspective.

Same here, I’m thankful I got to experience the sport when it was still a sport.

Fantasy football was a huge start to the end, but don’t forget the entire cheatriots syndrome. Not just the headlines, but the cheating before they got caught and the consequences of that continual cheating and not being caught.

The money / mob has always been an influence, but not as of late as the NFL is married to the gambling. The manipulation of games is a reality so I don’t look at it as nothing more than a smile when the STEELERS win and a frown when they lose.


Steelr4evr, take what you can for your enjoyment and don’t sweat the rest. ALSO, thanks for all your great post(s) along the way.
