Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
 

It would be interesting if they would play the Pro Bowl like they used to, around 1940: Super Bowl champions against a team made up of the best players from the rest of the league. That would be more compelling than NFC versus AFC. It would be best, though, if they would completely quit the Pro Bowl. I don't blame the players for not playing their hardest in a meaningless game, a game that only gives them a chance to get injured.

So a watered down all star football game, where a lot of the players picked aren't playing, gets more viewers than the World Series? That's pretty embarrassing for baseball.

That's because baseball is a joke. Idk how they even have a league anymore.

Everyone has said things racially that they wish they didn't say. I think we live in a society where we forgive so I would hope that Cooper is forgiven. He seemed very remorseful. If I were his teammate, and he looked me in the eye and apologized it would be accepted.

[QUOTE=skinsfaninok;1017380]Way to keep the already racial tension in America up cooper. ****ing idiot[/QUOTE]

I probably shouldn't do this, but for me this absolutely highlights the ridiculousness of the Skins name controversy. If Riley had said this same comment, substituting Redskins, everyone would've thought of the football team, not a racial slur, and there is no way he would have been apologizing. That's the fundamental difference in the two words.

So let's say Sanders picks Von Miller and Rice takes Peyton Manning. If Miller gets a chance to nail Manning is he going to do it? Is Chad Greenway going to try and take down AP? Guys are not going to be hitting guys from their own teams. If there's no defense now, under this format we may see each team put up 60 points. Just put the Pro Bowl out of it's misery.

Great point. It's why the NFL should just give up. Or make the pro bowl mean something like .......nevermind I was going to say baseball but that doesn't work.

They didn't hit each other anyways! I still won't watch the game, but I'll watch the draft!

SF corner Chris Culiver out for season torn ACL. 9ers are feeling the injury bug early

Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
 

^ but but but they have Carlos Rogers Tarrell Brown and Nnamdi. They also have good depth with Tramaine Brock and Perrish Cox. They went after Eric Wright who was cut but not healthy so maybe they'll go for him when he's healthy.

Translation; they'll be fine. (Plus Culliver was their worst CB IMO after watching the Super Bowl )

Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
 

Culliver is an excellent CB who had a bad SB after running his mouth about gays (wrong city for that) i watched all the 49er games and he was really solid, they'll miss him but have plenty of depth.

Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
 

The 49ers secondary wasn't that good to begin with (wasn't bad just wasn't that good). The more important player to that d is Justin smith. Once he got hurt almost every quarterback they played destroyed that secondary, it was obvious in the playoffs how much he means to that defense. Hopefully he comes back 100% but when NFL players get older, things tend to take a long lasting affect and it usually becomes easier to get injured again.

Well said.

No kickoffs? :doh:

Gotta be a trial run for trying to implement it for the real games.


If the draft right before the game then the players grab that jersey or is it ahead of time?

I like the old way of doing it. Would be interesting to see how great the champ really is.

Seriously? I think this is starting to get a little overblown. I get that what he said was extremely racist and could very easily hurt people. But he's apologized profusely to everyone that could have been offended, he says he's disgusted with himself...what more can he do? Michael Vick said he could accept Cooper as a teammate, so I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Everyone needs to move on; forgive and forget.

I agree enough already. They're killing this guy. He made a mistake and owned up to it. Move on. If he does it again then drop the hammer. Until then give the guy a 2nd chance.

I agree but there are guys in the locker room that will never forgive or forget. Everyone has said something about another race that they regret. But he got caught saying it on camera. You gotta really watch what you say if you're in the public eye.

That's true. Michael Vick is one that's ready to forgive. LeSean McCoy isn't. But at this point, it's not Cooper's problem anymore; it's the people who won't forgive that are in the wrong.
