Dear Roger Goodell - You sir, are no Pete Rozelle

I don't want to sound melodramatic, but this is the most misguided ruling since Dred Scott. So, the NFL just got around to realizing he's been doing this for seven years? Too busy tricking players into violating the substance abuse policy? I don't understand why this is happening. I like watching him rope imaginary cattle. I like imagining that he could rope a real cattle. I like that he may not know the difference. If Tom Brady was doing it, they would require every team to stop and watch quietly.

Insert joke re: Allen's play so far this season making any league ruling somewhat redundant.

Way to reinforce the moniker "No Fun League" there, Rog. Next up: banning smiles, outlawing puppies, and then moving on to the installation of breathalyzers on the TVs of all fans and requiring them to blow under a .05 in order to watch a game.

Can he do it on the sidelines? So, a penalty is involved? Who determines how this will be called? Can a player "shimmy"? What is pat williams going to do if his fat is still jiggling after a sack and he can't control the entropy involved?



Btw - that might be a first for FTLOSBW using "entropy" (I also may not have used it correctly).

Point #2 - I am on a plane until 8:45 CST tomorrow. Pleeeeease no texts as I am dvr'ing the game and filling my ear holes with wax on my flight from newark.my old man scored two tix which I can't use with him so I am angry enough.

I always thought it looked like he was stirring paint. Maybe he should make a gesture like he just put down some cattle with a captive bolt pistol. Far less offensive if you ask me.

That sucks Jan. If you want fly down here and we can walk up and get Braves tickets.

Word to the wise, if you ever need a root canal go to a Endodonitics specialist do not let your dentist do it. Learned that one the hard way.
