Toughest thing I’ve ever had to admit. My life changed in 2000. Due to the sensitive matter of the brain donation been sitting on this for over a year. The doctors finally gave us some answers to what we went through from 2000-2018... My pops loved the game until the end...

Watching “The Longest Yard” and realized this dude dropped the ball before he crossed the goalline. This was not a TD. I guess there is no scoring reviews in prison football.

This claim is false. An alternate view clearly shows the players feet moving and elbow coming out which would constitute a call for moving screen. nypost.com/2024/04/06/spo… ncaapublications.com/p-4676-2023-24

Hey @NFL, It’s me again. I’m not too sure but if the tackle moves before the snap it should be a false start right? [Hold On] Yes I checked and that’s a false start by rule. Why aren’t your refs aware of this rule in Seattle? #JustWondering

Hey @NFL, I guess blocking downfield on a pass play is only reviewed for the #Vikings huh? Watch the slot WR to the top of the screen. He is definitely blocking downfield thinking run play. All scoring plays are reviewed. Why wasn’t this noticed? Are the refs in NY sleep?

The @NFL needs to review this play & send a nice note to #49ers Josh Norman for this gorilla punch to the back of #Vikings Adam Thielen. Hitting someone in the spine could be a serious injury. How does the ref miss this? If Thielen retaliates he’d of got the flag for sure.

Hey @NFL, Very concerned your refs have NO IDEA what offensive pass interference is. One called by NY offices & on the field refs didn’t see it. 2nd was challenged by #Vikings Mike Zimmer becuz he’s seen this before & the on field refs said no flag. Huh? Please explain...

“TUSH PUSH” vs #Vikings 1. Watch #11 AJ Brown. He flinches twice on both hard counts. 2. Both guards move right before the ball is snapped. The slow motion shows it. Don’t outlaw it. Allow refs to be able to review the spot & pre-snap on a tush push to identify if it’s legal.

It’s funny that if the #Gophers were 0-6 the media would be all over it. But they are 6-0 so everyone is sitting on their hands. Maybe it’s time to let some of these “BITS” die & just enjoy the ride. If the Vikings were 6-0 those same media members would be in a love fest...

Initiating Offensive Foul: Taking a shooting motion into the defender that’s not a normal shooting motion. Luka Doncic literally leaned forward to shoot the 3 into KAT. That by the letter should have been an offensive foul. His normal shot is literally leaning back.

This is NOT a “good job” in coverage. THIS IS PASS INTERFERENCE!!! Just becuz a DB looks back for the ball doesn’t mean he can grab the jersey & shoulder of a WR & pull him away from the ball. If he keeps his hands off Jefferson he makes this catch. #Vikings #Panthers #NFLonFox

Hey @NFL, It’s been a while but I want to point somethin out... 1. This is the longest second ever. 2. A snap pushed to the ground w/ 2 hands should be a fumble. The QB should have to possess the ball & then throw it down. This is BS. This is not a spike. THIS IS A FUMBLE.
