They're going to post a story (really an opinion piece) on the Shazier hit soon. Of course I'm sure they'll come up with an angle that makes it not a dirty hirt.  


I think this commenter is right (not on Brown's acting job, but everything else). The more time I've had to sit back and think about it, the more I realize that Burfict wasn't as "out of control" as the media painted him. Even his 1 dirty play wasn't really dirty. Meanwhile they brushed off Shazier's far more brutal hit on Gio, as well as the thuggish behavior of Steelers coaches, DeCastro targeting Burfict, etc.

I was close to 'out of control' listening to Nance's drivel all throughout the game. It actually surprised me tbh. I don't recall an announcing crew ganging up on one team like they did Saturday night.

I stand by the criticisms of players and coaching that I have written in the past 36 hours. The Bengals need to do some things differently, no doubt. Bottom line for me, at least for today, is not really caring what the league does in response. It won't be enough as we are out, and Pittsburgh plays next weekend. Officiating gets worse with each year, making harder to remain a pro football fan. Love me some Bengals, but not liking the NFL much these days. They seem to be the ones "out of control".
