You are absolutely correct. And the game was adjusted to get more points, viewership, sales, network contracts.Players don’t mind...it funds their huge contracts.
Same reason why NBA has 24 second clock..zone basketball defense is boring.
All a big circus, lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
With apologies to William Shakespeare.
Except for. Players whose contract is up and they get signed to a team for a better contract with more space under the salary cap. Or the Chiefs start planning for the future and trade some replaceable players for future draft picks...
Entertainment business.
You're right, ascheloche, but none of my 3 children have the criminal record of Britt Reid. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but the facts are the facts.
NORRISTOWN, Pa. -- A judge who sentenced Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons to jail on Thursday likened the coach's home to "a drug emporium" and questioned whether his adult sons should live there, given their drug problems.
"There isn't any structure there that this court can depend upon," Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill said before sentencing Reid's son Britt to up to 23 months in jail plus probation.
"I'm saying this is a family in crisis," O'Neill said.
Earlier Thursday, O'Neill sentenced Garrett Reid, a drug addict and dealer who said he got a thrill out of selling drugs in "the 'hood," to up to 23 months in jail for smashing into another motorist's car while high on heroin.
O'Neill said that searches of the Reid family's house and vehicles found a long list of drugs, guns and ammunition.

Ok. You’re a pussy wanting to bitch about someone else.
I tried to watch this but the channel I was on had all this stupid background talk and cartoonish crap. Gave up and went to bed.
It was a thriller at the end, but it seemed like KC was phoning in the first half.
The Surf and Turf Nachos basket, priced at $58.58, was listed under Chef Specialties on the Super Bowl menu at Allegiant Stadium food stands. The chips were served with queso blanco, pieces of lobster and fillet mignon, pico de Gallo, as well as grilled jalapenos and limes. It also came with a souvenir shot glass filled with salsa.
I liked the original black/red face better
You can roughing the coach to this. Such a role model.
The players have stopped kneeling publicly under the threat of being fined but the NFL and television broadcasters who knelt in solidarity with Communist organizations such as Black Lives MatterTM have not only the same underlying sentiments, they've ratcheted them up even higher.
This scripted "sports entertainment" is nothing but bread and circuses.
"So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult." ― George Orwell, 1984
And you’re a real tough guy hiding behind your keyboard, aka REMF.
Of course, the game would be about 7 hours long.
Lions need revenge on Dallas, big time. They may have been in the Superbowl if the refs called the right players name as eligible for the winning two point conversion. Would have then sat out first round of playoffs, healing and sittin pretty.
Bread & Circuses.
Right on! It was full on Chiefs here. The magic man comes through for the win.
thanks- my sister told me and i found out she lives down the road from me!!!
