I saw where Bart Scott blamed the Cinci receiver for the incident .

Technically true. The best kind of true.

My memory of Telander does not include any time at the Tribune.

my friend said he saw this rumored about, not sure where

Week 19
Bengals/Bills
NFC wild card playoffs
AFC playoff bye week

Week 20
AFC wild card playoffs
NFC playoff bye week

Why not just push the whole playoff start back a week? Either way you’d have to eliminate the off week leading into Super Bowl week if you’re not playing the full playoffs on schedule.

Someone will pitch a fit about teams in the NFL getting unfair extra "byes" but it's a decent idea

I forgot JJ Watt had heart issues in October.

Sounds like there gonna cancel it. Not I get to continue to listen to two guys bitch about getting fucked in fantasy games they weren't winning if the game was finished.

That would fuck the Ravens the most. Good.

Booger McFarland Tuesday on PTI said talking about the Bills playing on the next Sunday, "If I'm a player and I'm playing for the Buffalo Bills there's no way I could step on a field and get in an emotional state with my brother battling for his life...I would need to know that his life is safe and not in the balance before I could play. I don't think I'd feel right playing football while he's battling for his life."

Hub said Tuesday his life was in peril 4 weeks after his heart attack. Kornhiser & Wilbon didn't or couldn't follow-up to McFarland's comment.

Most union workers have immediate family only paid death days. Not too many employees get paid days off for fellow worker's illnesses with the possibility of totally shutting down an employer's business and the topic not up for discussion only at the employee's discretion.

Sounds like being a professional athlete has some perks.

Too many perks. Today's athletes have almost nothing in common with normal workers. I never thought I would see a day that I stopped watching sports. Rule changes, salaries, attitudes, free agency, politics in sports, influx of bad referees have decreased my passion for the teams and sports I used to love.

Maybe I am just getting old and every generation complains about the next, but the disconnect from the athletes is real and just getting bigger every season.

i kinda liked the idea of giving both teams a tie, so there's something still to play for in the last game. everything would still be on the line; and who knows, maybe the game would've finished in a tie if the game never had that crisis happen.

Thankfully thats only Booger McFarland’s moronic take . There is no talk amongst the players about not playing this Sunday.

I understand the need for rule changes.

But I'm right there with you on the rest of your list.

Doug Buffone used to talk about his off season job. My grade school football coach played for the Bear and owned a construction company in the off season, and the Willowbrook Bowl with Ditka too.

Yeah, you're fucking old we get it. Nobody cares.

Bills probably not a big fan of a tie either. They go 2-0 to finish, would be guaranteed a home field AFC title game. A tie makes the Chiefs the #1 seed (if they win this week). The Bills have lost the last 2 AFC championship games, at KC.

Bills have no one to blame but themselves for last years loss.

Why are professional athletes paid so much? They play a child’s game.

Sounds like there is a good chance Hamlin could play this weekend

Phew!

I understand the concussion rules changes. I am talking more across all sports. Basketball is a shell of itself from the late 80's and 90's. Baseball doesn't know what is it anymore and we sold our souls to the Rickett's for a World Series. Wrigley has been pimped out like it's running in Nascar.

I started to like the Colts when they had E.Dickerson and then signed J.George into the J.Harbaugh era. Always liked the underdog.

When they drafted P.Manning my interest in the Colts diminished when he became a superstar as weird as that sounds. They were no longer the under dog and it almost felt like cheating with a superstar QB. Watching the Bears all these years, my football senses did not know how to root for a team that had a star QB

I changed my avatar to the Colts a couple years ago because I no longer could stomach Bears management or lack of. Need to change it to something else because the interest in that team just is not there anymore. Seems like I am rooting more for players then teams, so maybe I will change my logo to P.Mahomes or J.Burrow since those are my two favorite players ATM. EDIT: or J.Sandborn!!!

funny, i think i've heard every scenario possible in regard to this game

now i saw someone saying they'll cancel it, and if Chiefs-Bills play the AFC championship it would be at a neutral site

They should play it at Cominskey Park

That would be a very nfl response.

The AFC championship will be played between two teams with great fan bases and stadium atmospheres. Let’s play it in Jerry world.

The next CBA is going to look interesting. No way Goodell lets teams decide to not play a game going forward.
