Here’s what happened over the weekend in the world of the NFL.
Football fans rejoice, the preseason is here!
Well, in spirit it is anyways as we have yet to see any football actually get played this August. That was supposed to be different, as the Hall of Fame game on Sunday was set to be out introduction to this year of football — but it didn’t go well.
If the cancellation of the Hall of Fame game is any indication of how things are going to go this year, then get ready for the clown show.
As embarrassing as it is for the game to get cancelled, the NFL did the right thing. The field conditions were not where they needed to be and that’s not how you want to go about conducting business.
Beyond that, the NFL preaches about player safety and then routinely contradicts itself, and this would have been a wide open target for trolling and criticism.
RGIII Is A Starting NFL Quarterback, Again
It only took a couple of years, but Robert Griffin III has once again been handed a starting quarterback job in the NFL. We all laughed about this scenario a few years ago when RGIII was being prepped to be sent to a nice farm upstate by Washington, and here we are.
RGIII is the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
Look, this is the best possible scenario for all parties involved and you can’t even pretend. If this goes well then it will be almost an afterthought in that of course something finally went right for the Browns.
When it inevitably flames out though, it won’t get the heat that the same situation did in Washington since all parties involved here are beyond damaged goods. So while it could work out for the Browns, even the best case isn’t really that exciting to ponder.
Overtime
Here are some other non-NFL related notes that someone in the asylum cell next to you might be shouting about:
Suicide Squad was a dumpster fire, and it looks like DC is dead in the water with their plan to copy Marvel … Bill Maher kindly requested WikiLeaks hack Donald Trump’s tax returns … Elsewhere on FanSided, we sat down with Nature Boy Ric Flair … A-Rod retired, for now, and these five teams will eventually talk him out of it.
Alright folks, stay safe out there.
