Social media police are out of control … I just finished serving a three day ban on Facebook for something I posted … in 2016! 🤬

 

I got one of those once for telling a buddy I was going to whip his ass at cornhole. :lol:

McAfee’s show has raised the bar for sports media. To me, it’s worth getting notifications every day from/about the show. Irreverent, humorous and insightful. 
He seems more than a bit exasperated over the grief they’re taking from ‘the establishment’ -including their own bosses. I hope they can work through it and keep providing this level of journalism. Yes, part of it is they love the Bills -from BrandonB to Mitch.

Pat’s show people love or hate but he definitely shows the team lots of love and has the best interviews with players and coaches hands down imo.  

People hate the McAfee show other than Norby?  I can’t believe that to be true

I'm glad embeds work because I'm waiting for my "violent speech" ban appeal on Twitter to go through lol.

 

I was responding to people saying Josh leaning back a bit was proof of a fake slide, so I said "Do me a favor for science. Run full speed towards a brick wall and then try to suddenly stop or cut 90 degrees along the wall without leaning. Report back to me how many teeth you lose."

 

Of course I'm not literally saying to run head first into a brick wall (my point is that you will naturally lean to stop), but their automated system took it as a threat or whatever lol.


Allen did NOT fake a slide. What he did do is decide to slow very slightly AFTER the First Down. Then, he saw the reaction of the Steeler defenders to relax. Where upon he took it upon himself to do a small cut and accelerate.

 

I’m not sure whether he thought about this move in advance. But,he definitely would have dropped and slid if all those Pitt defenders closed on him. They did not. VERY smart.
 

KC will close on Sunday, if he makes a similar run.

As much as I hate to say it, the Kelce brothers podcast is similar.  They support every NFL player and find a positive way to approach them.  I want to dislike them, but they make it difficult.

We all were saying the same thing, until Fitzpatrick bounced off Allen.

Wasn’t Fitzpatrick, it was 23 Kazee that bounced off Josh. Then Peterson made a business decision not to try and disengage from block being made by Harty, who is 50 pounds lighter.

Yeah pretty sure some salty Steelers flagged you for that to happen.

Good stuff from Morse. I don't watch McAfee often, mostly bits people select like this one, but he obviously has a knack of making his guests at ease. Even Marshaw Lynch was ha ha. Peyton was on a video call with the show going to HIS HOF coronation!

That whole Mitch Morse segment on McAfee is worth a listen.  Morse is about 2:09 in.

 

First of all Morse just comes across as such a classy, gentlemanly dude that it knocked McAfee on his ass laughing when he asked him a question about Josh Allen and he says "Oh Hell No ...We've been begging that ***** to slide once in a while".  He ends saying "he's sick in the head, because he likes it".

 

It's just a cool interview though, they talk about the Dunne article and the locker room's reaction and what it's like living in Buffalo.

 

He says they had a guy who just had a baby and he got stuck on his way to the hospital Friday when they were going to be discharged, and people got him un-stuck and got him there and then took him home in a front-loader (which took 3 hrs)

 

I wonder who that was?  Hardy DNP for personal reasons on Thurs, and your girlfriend or wife having a baby is a reason that guys miss practice.

 

Worth a watch.  Thanks.  Enjoyed the talk about the Dunne article as well as the conversation about Josh sliding and McD encouraging the team to play free.

His schtick isn't my thing, but I have to give him credit for making a model for those contributors who I like who are just educated fans (Grossi, Perna, UT, Cover One) and hearing the old broadcaster guys  go "tsk tsk tsk how uncouth" shows me they don't understand where the market is headed.

I think it's a bit of a changing of the guard. Sports journalism has been gatekept for a while (how long did we have Sully?) and those who made their bones in the early 2000s are finding out that the internet has utterly scattered the viewing audience and have yet to accept it.

 

My biggest beef with MacAfree at the moment is his long running commitment to Aaron Rodgers when the man has gone Coocoo of Coco Puffs

Ratings are all that matter on these network shows and podcasts.  CooCoo is great for ratings.

Right up until the point where he made a very specific and disprovable statement that could been seen a defamatory. If that can get Fox News to fire anchors, it might be more trouble than it's worth.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
