Here's a great Wetzel piece about all the panties being bunched up:

"Whining..."

I couldn't agree more with this article. It's one thing to b*tch and moan about a bad call and what you perceive to be a game-deciding play (trust me, it wasn't what decided the game), it's another to threaten lawsuits and Goodell intervention.

This is the sports world taking on the recent victim culture, which has infected, unfortunately, other areas of life FAR more important than professional sporting entertainment.

I wasn't even aware of this though (from the article posted):


Ford, however, was lined up across the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped. New England went on to win.

Reid acknowledge that, yes, it was a penalty.


“I thought it was legitimate,” Reid said, noting the Chiefs’ own cameras also caught the infraction.

That should have been it.

Only Reid didn’t stop there because this is 2019 and this is the NFL – the No Fair League. Everything and anything is worthy of whines and cries and legal briefings about the officials, the rules, overtime setups and any other transgression real or imagined.

The entire damn league has gone so snowflake that even Andy Reid decided to join them.

“Normally you’re warned,” Reid said. “And the coaches are warned if someone is doing that before they throw [a flag] in a game of that magnitude.”



Jesus Christ, Andy, should the refs have adjusted Ford's cup too?!
