An ugly Monday night game was made more ugly by a few strange on field incidents. The first has Steven coming unglued at some Giants players who decided they needed a little rest and decided that they would do some flopping. If it is good enough for the rest of the worlds football then why not the NFL? They guys tell you why.
Been a long time, but we have a good ole boy! Minnesota Vikings, safety, Tyrell Johnson was booked in Hennepin County at 3:15 A.M. for 4th degree DWI. It is speculated that he was trying to drown his sorrows after dropping huge INT that would have likely handed the Vikings their first W of the season. Since the guys do not have any footage of the pick, Jeff throws together an artists rendition of the play which shows true artistic promise.
Dunta Robinson gets slapped for his hit on Jeremy Macclin in the Sunday night game. Being his 2nd offense, the league letter featuring a fine of 40k included this warning: “future offenses will result in an escalation of fines up to and including suspension.” Dunta is walking on thin ice with the league and should strongly consider dialing it back just a touch.

Here is my suggestion to how the NFL should solve the problem of players flopping without getting touched. Treat it as a serious head injury, because if a player is falling down with no one contacting them, then something must be wrong. And by treating it as a serious head injury, you do not allow the players to reenter the game. And possibly hold them out for further games, due to the serious nature of the “injury”. I think that would solve the flopping problem in the NFL, because that is something that will ruin the FNL if allowed unchecked.
Or the players could just police it like me and my friends did when we were younger, if you are crying about being hurt when you are really not, we give you a reason to cry about being hurt.
