Yes. Yes it is.

We did? Teams rarely move even merely decent OL-men at the deadline, let alone good to great ones. So what if the cost started with out 1st rounder for one of those guys? Do you still make the trade, or nah?

Remember when Howard Roseman and the Eagles traded for no one at the deadline last year and won the Superbowl?

Yes, he kicked it low. No idea if there was a problem with the spot or if Bates just kicked it poorly.

Vikes are the better team to this point, and by a very wide margin.

Can't give them easy points like that.

LaPorta game...

That's less than I thought they'd have to pay to sign him, so I love it.

This is how Glenn is, though. He got testy with the Detroit media all the time, even after wins. That's not a problem when you have a personable HC like Campbell in charge, and your team is winning, but it might be when you are in charge and your team is losing. And your team is in NY.

I agree, but teams generally don't move good O-linemen. If they can even get a serviceable-to-good older vet, though, I'd feel much better going forward.

Gibbs picked the perfect game to go all Barry in.

Yeah, and this doesn't bode well for the "NFL make-right opportunity," either:

No, not if the circumstances described in your post actually happened: a phone call from a casino sports book to an NFL exec demanding a scoring play be overturned, and the NFL exec capitulating and making it so is leaked to the public. Bribes only work in an evidence-controlled environment of plausible deniability. The moment control over the evidence is lost and deniability becomes implausible, the jig is up. In your hypothetical, the NFL would be exposed to the public as (to some extent) fake, and that alone would seriously damage the legitimacy of the brand as a "sport" in the minds of it's audience, but even that pales in comparison to legal implications they'd face over match-fixing. Again, we're pre-supposing that the incontrovertible evidence is made public. The outrage would be uncontainable, and the feds would absolutely have no choice other than to step in and take scalps. It would destroy the NFL.

Were that to happen, it would be a national scandal and the NFL big-wigs would be looking at federal prosecutions. Goodell and others would face serious prison time. It would be the biggest sports scandal in the history of the world. No way this would just be glossed over.
