Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher Joey Bosa was fuming at the officials for the game-turning unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in his team's 31-30 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He contained his emotions at the time but today he went off.
Speaking to the media during the team's exit interviews, Bosa deemed it unfair that he faces a fine if he criticizes referees but the referees get to joke about making a bad call that ruins a game.
"If I say something to them I get a $40,000 fine, but if they blow a call that ruins an entire team's season... they'll probably be back in the locker room after the game like, 'Haha, got that a--hole, oh yeah, got him 15 yards what a loser,'" Bosa said.

Panthers fan I see
He did both. Got called for the one mentioned here and the helmet slam on the field later. I like Bosa, but he had a bad day.
We might be witnessing the first ever NFL game with 4 or more touchdowns and not a single extra point.
Statistical madness!
The Zebras have always been biased for the Cowboys.
Nevermind..... they went for it on 4th and 4 instead of kicking a FG and scored a TD and finally...... 5th time was the charm, he made the PAT.
Cowboys go for it on 4th and 4 from the 18 and score a TD.
And a miracle! He made the Extra Point!
They went in for the kill.
Actually 6th time was the charm. He missed the last one against Washington.
Niners will still kill them.
It is crazy. While I admittedly don’t follow the NFL as closely as I used to it seems like there are more missed XP’s AND more kicks 50yds or longer made.
I watch some YouTube game highlights. You get the whole game that counts in 10 minutes or less with no commercials or downtime.
We cut the cord 8 years ago and have never regretted it.
I’m watching the Peyton & Eli version. Usually better than the national broadcast.
Ellly Mae Clampett scored two TDs and two FGs in one episode of Beverly Hillbillies and she did it while wearing a “ball gown.”
The whole defense choked in the 2nd half,
Bosa said something but he was leaving the field and the ref chased him down and said something to Bosa. When Bosa replied, the ref threw the flag. Not pulling for either team but I thought that was pretty sketchy on the ref’s part.
Looks like a neck injury.
I thought Bosa said something about being held on either that play or a previous one, that they missed. Also, they called him offsides at one point because his head was over the line, not any other part of his body. I’ve never seen them call that before.
I don’t know what he said, but it probably intimated the ref was on the take. That usually gets them worked up fast. Lol.
It is crazy that there is betting on football, there is no way that point shaving or referees aren’t steering games or point spreads. It only takes one player in the right place, and excuse me for pointing it out, but the brahs are not exactly of high moral value.
Even worse, we have a team in Las Vegas. Decades ago, that was unthinkable (Pete Rose, anybody remember him?)
Joey makes about $24 mil a year. For working about 9 months.
He lives like a king in LA
By the time he’s 35 - he’ll be able to retire comfortably most likely.
He needs to STFU , pay his taxes , raise his kids , and enjoy the gift he’s been given.
