That is the goal for the team (from an organization stance). As a fan, having Watson being the face of your franchise is likely going to be a tough pill to swallow for even the most committed fans.
The game itself wasn't obscure itself but the events that took place during the game made it memorable for me (and not in the way you would think).
The game was the Kevin Everett game. The obvious is the opening kickoff where Everett had to be carted off the field and we know the rest of that story. The 2nd that happened was the end of the game where Denver won with no time left on the clock.
The reason this game sticks out to me? I was there and didn't see either of these plays because at the start of the game I was busy hitting on some girl that I had just met. I didn't see the end of the game because I was making out with the same girl during the last minute of the game.
Oh to be young and stupid again.
Look at the replies from the Twitter post of Allen and kittle from Wednesday.
They are already alive and well.
Along with the "Josh is from California and was a 49ers fan. He should come home".
There were reports from Sal early to mid season that he had a lingering ankle injury that didn't sideline him but he wasn't 100% early on last year.
His numbers didn't skyrocket down the stretch but he was definitely getting more targets and receptions near the later part of the season.
You suspend one player indefinitely for making a $1500 bet but are ok with someone sexually assaulting 24, and counting, women. Glad the nfl has a hard line on gambling when it comes to players. That's about all they have a line on.
Who is expecting them to volunteer? They aren't contractually obligated to spend their free time to go and help people. Neither am I but I volunteer. It's probably a little easier for someone making millions of dollars a year to find a few hours in a day to volunteer than a single mom/dad, working 2 jobs to get by.
Your expectations for them to volunteer are your own. My guess is about 15% of NFL players actually volunteer regularly and the rest do a "I volunteer" day and sign a big check.
I'm sure the flock of posters saying "unless they win it all, it doesn't matter" will show up soon enough to piss in this thread.
It's like saying "the movie didn't end how I wanted it to so it was a bad movie".
How people go through life not enjoying anything unless it ends exactly how they want it is baffling to me.
