@simongerman600 Idea to level the playing field in favor of hockey (the greatest winter Olympic sport): add four more medals for shootout. They are individual medals that shooters and goalies win, men’s and women’s.
@gregbradyx 3-3 works in the NHL because we want a decision quickly…and it’s a fun format. If it were up to me, for a gold medal: 5-5 sudden death with 20 min periods. It’s the last game…why hurry? Olympic elimination hockey is a battle of wills. 3-3 turns it into a coin flip.
Today’s NFL:
“Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing…unless a draft pick is on the line, in which case, put your starters on IR.” — Vince Lombardi
😅
Let’s fix this!
Let's call it Tankgate.
Roger Goodell is always preaching about the integrity of the game and protecting the shield.
The NFL needs to look into the Raiders putting three of their best players on IR in the days before they apparently did all they could to tank their game against the Giants to secure the #1 pick to draft Fernando Mendoza without having to trade up.
Evidence: The snap count of Maxx Crosby, Brock Bowers and Jeremy Chinn in the previous week's game in Houston in which the Raiders played well in a 23-21 loss.
Crosby: 100% of the snaps. 6 tackles, 2 for loss
Bowers: 98% of the snaps. 5 catches
Chinn: 100% of the snaps. 7 tackles
They were all playing with injuries. Every player does. Did theirs become season-ending on the flight after the game back to Vegas?
Goodell spent $5 million on his silly Tom Brady-Deflategate investigation. Isn't Tankgate at least worth a couple bucks? Wouldn't he love to investigate a team partially owned by Brady?
The 24-point victory was the Giants most one-sided in three years.
