[QUOTE=SenorBeef;19618349Also I consider that statement of his as a point of pride. “SIT DOWN AND BE BORING, HEAD BAGGERS”[/QUOTE] LOL. The fans were throwing shit onto the field. ---

My favorite NFL player, Larry Fitzgerald will reportedly retire after this season. Makes sense. There’s been rumors of him wanting to play his last year or so with the Vikings, but with their QB situation up in the air, that wouldn’t make sense. In Arizona, Carson Palmer isn’t getting younger, there’s no QB in waiting, and there’s a glut of talented receivers. > **[Report: Larry Fitzgerald to retire after season](https://www.abc15.com/sports/sports-blogs-local/arizona-cardinals-larry-fitzgerald-will-reportedly-retire-after-this-season)** > > Larry Fitzgerald has reportedly told people close to him that this season will be his last. ---

Hue is trying all sorts of gimmicks and weird stuff which I appreciate but holy shit they’re bad at everything. ---

JAX is looking for real so far. They are clicking on offense and defense. Punter is insane. ---

Refs blatantly cheated Browns out of a play at the end of the half. Video shows. Play called down with 3 seconds on the clock and Hue in the picture signaling timeout clearly. ---

New Orleans thought it was appropriate to do the National Anthem with bagpipes. I hope never to have that inflicted on me again. ---

Good games on network TV…Saints-Raiders down to the wire, and Chiefs-Chargers to OT. Neither ended up being the result I wanted to see, unfortunately… ---

Don’t sleep on the Bucs. We’re for real this year - though we’re going to have to start covering guys coming out of the backfield. ---

More worried about Cardinals-Rams-Panthers-Broncos over the next four weeks. After that it’s four easy wins. 🙂 ---
