This is the thing that is irritating if you're a player. You don't get many breaks during the year and every single time they have had the opportunity to have a break (especially around the holidays) they have been f***ed out of it.

wear a mask hon

(That’s seriously a Baltimore thing, “hon”... how stupid)

How am I gonna drink my Natty Bo if I got a mask on?

We know this is happening because a strength and conditioning coach ignored protocols frequently. This isn’t someone’s wife going shopping and catching it and passing it around. This is blatant disregard for rules. It’s time for a forfeit with the Ravens culpable for all financial loses.

 

[Andy99]

more tests coming out Thursday too apparently...are they going to move this game to a week 18?...tough luck for the Steelers...NFL absolutely won’t make the Ravens forfeit...

Ravens reportedly have more positive tests; Steelers game potentially in jeopardy | TribLIVE.com

Pretty convenient how they can just throw the meat head under the bus with no real repercussions for the organization as a whole and have this benefit them.

Yeah I see coaches and organizations fined for not wearing masks, but if they say the strength and conditioning coach ignored protocol and was responsible for a prime time game being postponed there aren’t repercussion?

It’s not surprising that the NFL lacks any sort of consistency, but c’mon.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Anything short of a Ravens forfeit is completely unacceptable.


And we won't get it because this is the NFL we're talking about.

 

[Andy99]

I’m sure the Ravens will be fined—the NFL will see that as a just repercussion (it’s not )...as for the game, it will either be played with Ravens who have not tested positive or been in close contact with those who have, or the NFL will have to move it to a newly created week 18...it will not be forfeited

 

[Rossi Rat]

I just hope they play the damn game on Sunday. Moving to Week 18 would suck considering the Ravens would get players back, the Steelers could potentially still have the 1 seed and not get a bye essentially. Just sweep their asses like the Ravens swept theirs last year and get on with the rest of the season.

Edit: apparently the Ravens positive test today included just one coach.

 

[EvGeno]

Apparently the Ravens conditioning coach ignored symptoms and didn’t wear a mask...and there are more positives than the current 7 reported.

This Thanksgiving, as every year, I'm thankful I didn't grow up being a Lions fan. Oof, what a shitty team.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

How great is it we get to watch the garbage lions every thanksgiving

 

[ColePens]

How great is it we get to watch the garbage lions every thanksgiving

This game is boring and a shit show. Some traditions should end.

 

[Al Smith]

How great is it we get to watch the garbage lions every thanksgiving

But for a T-giving Lions game, we likely would have never seen a botched coin toss.

 

[Al Smith]

This Thanksgiving, as every year, I'm thankful I didn't grow up being a Lions fan. Oof, what a shitty team.

You can be doubly thankful, cause you likely would have also been a Wings fan and been psychologically consumed over the last 11+ years by the bitterness of Sid's delayed handshake.

 

[RustyRazor]

I mean I've been a Steelers fan my entire life and I remember every season since I was 8 years old in 1983 (The Lions pounded the Steelers on Thanksgiving 45-3 that year, incidentally). The Lions have had a team worth watching MAYBE 15 of those years. And now, I think in part because they are on every Thanksgiving, my son has decided that the Lions are his second favorite team. Poor kid.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

15!

no effin way. Unless you are counting the Barry Sanders years because Barry was Barry.

How many of those years have the Lions gone into the Thanksgiving game above .500. I’m thinkin 5.....maybe.

Barry played 10 years and they were a competitive team most of those years. The years they weren't, then yeah Barry was Barry. I'm giving them credit for being watchable 5 of the Megatron years. That's probably overly generous.

Edit... yeah, now that I looked at their records during Johnson's career they had one 10-6 season and were trash the rest. Also, the Lions with Barry were way more up and down than I remember, 11-5 to 5-11 to 10-6 to 6-10 basically the entire time he was there. So, were' talking like 7 years of overall quality in 38 years.

Sanders is my favorite player I ever watched. No one before or since could do the crazy shit he did.

It’s sad he played for such a losing org while a guy like Smith lucked into a dynasty in Dallas.

Sanders didn’t care about stats... didn’t care about showboating... just wanted to win.

He had enough of losing and walked away, even though he was right on the cusp of breaking the all time career rushing yardage record.

I’m 100% sure we are never going to see someone with his insane talent and humble nature again.

No football on today. Steelers fans will complain then turn these garbage games on and talk about how much they suck. Meanwhile gave the NFL the view and ad revenue they wanted. Turn the garbage off. Steelers fans have no backbone. No other fan base gets pushed around like this.
