Curran: NFL has a Giant Sense of Entitlement

[bobbutts]

It is a perfect example of how those in power will abuse the blind faith of their supporters. The reason they do it is because they get away with it, most fans would tldr or dismiss Curran and all of us as homers regardless.

Waxing the dolphin in front of 60k people?

WTF.

There is a precedent for this:

OMG.

Looks like a young David Grohl

Then don't. Just stop whining. By the way, the prevailing sentiment at Florio's place is overwhelmingly in favor of the Pats.

You all just keep showing the haters over and over that you do care what they think which is sad.

An example of the NFL's entitlement.

Integrity

You won't get a rise out of me with that link!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Cry Laughing!

Then some obvious Bostonian commenter will make a clever come back comment, but then they just comment back to him about the "caught cheating" crap. I just don't even want to pay attention to any of it any more.

Mildly OT, anyone know if the PFT poster "harrisonhits2" is a poster here?

 

[Jlaff]

If you follow that link in the article to the NFL head office, it's hilarious how many times they slip the word "integrity" into this bios, i.e. "this j***-off is in charge of maintaining the integrity of the integrity rules commission, a position he maintains with integrity".

Curran is that rare Sports MSM guy who isn't afraid to be outside the echo chamber, isn't afraid to sometimes be thoughtful while skeptical.
The echo chamber, the band of lemmings, they like to wait for the meme to snowball then join the chorus. It's one giant warped short stroke session that begins with the top of the pyramid lemmings that receive marching orders from the power at the NFL office and big network media top floors. It's especially awesome when the meme starts gaining steam and almost the whole echo chamber starts working backward attempting to manufacture new angles or echo/validate already manufactured angles, In my opinion one of their very best moments is when an aspect of the meme starts collapsing under the weight of thought/reality. When that happens they simply don't mention it again (pretend it is already decided as fact, only mention it again in passing as accepted fact/evidence of the new angle) by working backwards toward another aspect/another sub-headline. There literally is never a reckoning within the group short stroke echo chamber.
But on this one even Curran needs chiding. It isn't because he is wrong (good story) but because he is a day late and a dollar short. A reasonable person, a person not run by his/her emotions, cannot be surprised by what the NFL office does. The NFL office is a combination of the worst of big money, big corp, politics, media, with an underlying system of values based on feeding red meat to the mob/ruses to control the message/PR ethics. And there is no end in sight for their behavior because their entertainment product puts the proverbial food on the table of a whole lot of people who control what is spoken on TV news and shows (as well as a large majority of owners who think the system is swell just as it is).

How is he a day late? He's been on their ass since day one.

Yes, the comments. The majority are pro pats, the ones that aren't are overwhelmingly downvoted.

Fair enough but to me the story came across as this behavior from NFL office is a new development.

The OP is yet another, in a long line of examples, of the confirmation for my hatred of Sewer York -
of everything in it, and of everyone in it. Go Eagles!
