"Butler Ball" is getting it done

[feltdizz]

Tennessee has played 1.5 good teams this year. Those turkeys are playing better and its because DL is a good coach.

Coordinators need to move around tho... you can only stay with a team for so long before the system gets stale and predictable.

Butler will run into the same problem of he stays here for 10 years or so...

I think that Heyward should go back to just normal eye black for the KC game to honor the deal he cut with the league, but every other player on the team should wear "IRON" and "HEAD" against the Chiefs...and the Rooneys should cover the $5K+ fine for all of the other players. That would be a quarter million dollars well spent, in my eyes.

Can't blame the league one bit for it though. If you let Cam put "Iron" "Head" on his eye-black, it is a short leap to think someone won't put "Fire" "Goodell" on it someday. Remember Jim McMahon back in the day with his headband?

The "slippery slope" argument has been used to defend many foolishnesses.
I would assume the league gods know the difference between "Iron Head" honoring a dad and "Fire Goodell". Its not a fine distinction.

I don't think it's a slippery slope argument. It's about uniform enforcement of a policy. Keeps the league out of court defending 'free speech' cases where a player feels slighted in some way from unequal treatment. When a policy is all or nothing it makes decisionmaking real straightforward.

How does "LEAH" and "STRONG" (for an NFL players's child who was diagnosed with cancer) not get fined at all last year, but "IRON" and "HEAD" (for an NFL player's parent...who was also an NFL player himself, mind you...who died of cancer) get fined by increasing amounts each week...DURING THEIR OWN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH?!?! Maybe because it's only BREAST cancer awareness month...but I've seen Craig Heyward in the shower in those old Zestfully Clean commercials, and he was a robust fellow who had himself some boobies.

The most likely explanation is because the NFL got no money from being able to sell pre-printed eye black stickers with "IRON" and "HEAD" on them, giving 8% of the proceeds to cancer research and lining their already deep pockets with the remaining 92% of the money.

Let's face it. Breast cancer awareness month, for the NFL, ought to be renamed as pink marketing month. It's an excuse to market pink team gear to female fans.

There are a few guys - like DeAngelo, that have been touched by the issue personally, but for the league as a whole, it's solely about marketing.

Let's start NFL prostate cancer awareness month. Instead of pink ribbons, we can use a single finger to remind guys how they go about getting themselves checked. But since NFL teams already market big souvenir foam fingers to wear with the standard index finger raised as a "#1" gesture, we'll need to use a different finger as our symbol...I suggest the longest of the fingers to really be able go in there and check things out...just imagine thousands of middle fingers raised in unison at NFL stadiums...especially for Goodell.

Could see that catching on...
