Despite their best efforts, the Cowboys' helmets will not feature a decal supporting Dallas police officers this season.

According to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, the NFL denied the team's request for permission to include a decal reading "Arm In Arm" on their lids for the upcoming season. That decal, which the team has been wearing on its helmets during training camp, is in support of Dallas Police and the officers killed in July's sniper attack.

The NFL is run by trash. They made the greatest player of all time take a 4 game suspicion ,over nothing. Jealous, envious, morons. Its the equivalent of Michael Jordon being suspended in his hay day over a basketball being underinflated.

That is true. Didn’t the Redskins also perform a “Hands up” skit?

Just enjoying... from http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000683666/article/cam-newton-arrives-for-preseason-opener-in-style:

That just shows that 80%... are racist SOBs!

Guess old Cam never heard of "Poorly Dressed Lives Matter, Too... But They Are Still Poorly Dressed!"

Prediction: The NFL is going to be reallyreallyreally embarrassed by the backlash to this at Dallas’ home opener.

Looks he was going for something in between “pimp” and “Florida gay nightclub patron”. Fail!

From http://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/21676/cam-newtons-premature-celebration-costs-panthers-a-touchdown:

NFL MVP Cam Newton didn't lead the Carolina Panthers to a touchdown in Thursday's preseason opener at Baltimore, but he cost them one.

The Panthers were penalized 5 yards when Newton ran onto the field in celebration after an interception, and that negated linebacker A.J. Klein's 94-yard return for a touchdown.

"I just got too excited," Newton told reporters. "I was hoping they would give a warning."

Asked if he said anything to Klein afterward, Newton said, "Next question."

Of course, the ref that flagged old Cam... is a racist.

If Tom Brady is on, I watch, if not, have zero interest, the NFL sucks but I’ll watch the best player to ever play, once he’s retired, the NFL is dead to me.
