I know there’s still a game going on but here’s my take on NFL opening weekend.

Biggest winners: A) Oakland Raiders that two point conversion was either the stupidest play I’ve ever seen, or pure genius. Either way it paid off.

B) President’s Obama and Bush – I don’t agree with everything either of these guys say or do, but their pregame addresses we’re wonderful.

Biggest losers: A) The NFL for banning pro US apparel because it violates NFL uniform policies. Guess NFL freedom of speech only applies to disrespectful kneeling and raising your fist.

B) NBC, CBS and FOX. In all fairness I don’t know if all three networks did this. But what was the point of zooming and showing the “protesting” players? It’s Patriots Day and rather than focusing on the 3,000 American families that lost loved ones on 9/11, or the thousands of military families who lost loved ones since, you choose to focus on the less than 1% who want to be disrespectful trying to make a point. Though, personally don’t know what that point is anymore.

This will probably be the last I say anything about the NFL for awhile. No I’m not boycotting the NFL. Just because I disagree with a handful of players doesn’t mean I hate the NFL. I mean that’s like thinking all cops are bad because of a few incidents. Oh sorry bad example. But, I don’t think I’ll be watching the games on TV. I’ll stick to the radio until I can watch the game without wanting to vomit. via Facebook

I sincerely hope that those players that raised their fists (which I notice none of the networks broadcasted or covered) was a “here we go salute”, and not something more racially motivated. Especially when KC was arm in arm to, supposedly, show unity as a team. via Facebook

Broncos not playing and I can’t decide who to watch, so I’m watching all of them. Sound is currently on KC and SD game. Maybe I should go and do something productive. Nah… productivity can wait a little bit. via Facebook

DirecTV doing free NFL Sunday ticket, so got to see the 9/11 Opening ceremonies for all the NFL games. Didn’t see anyone taking a knee, which on a day like today makes me smile. via Facebook

Sitting in the ER with the boy and they’re cutting open this guy’s hand, to drain some puss out, right in front of us. Cool and extremely gross at the same time. via Facebook

I take the afternoon off from work so I can travel up to Denver and watch the Sand Creek HS X-Country team race in all their glory. Instead, I’m sitting here, waiting for a phone call referral to urgent care, because the boy hasn’t learned how to walk without possibly breaking his foot. So he’s on injured reserve pending Dr review. Sigh…kids… via Facebook
