Bears vs. Lions Paulcast - Sunday September 12th, 2010

[Brownie]

NFL Rules Committee member and Colts President Bill Polian just told Rich Eisen and NFL Network that Calvin Johnson's play was ruled correctly. He said the coaching phrase that all coaches and officials use is "show me the ball." Johnson didn't do that and hence the play was ruled correctly. He wouldn't even take the bait from Eisen as to whether the rule needed to be changed or clarified - even after the Saints' controversial 2-pt conversion catch in the Super Bowl was brought up. Eisen looked frustrated as dick and he isn't the first broadcaster to hit a wall with Polian.

I ripped the Colts fans a bunch this week but I think I'm just jealous that Bill Polian runs their favorite team while the turd circus running the Bears will never, ever get it right. I bet Polian wouldn't work fort the McCaskeys at any price. 

But he'd work for the Irsays? Granted, Jim Irsay looks like Mother Teresa next to his drunk, addled and confused father, but really?

Really. Irsay is just one pill-addled freak who has to be managed. For the most part Polian gets what he wants when he wants it. Dealing with the McCaskeys seems damn near impossilbe. I've never heard a single person say a kind word about their working relationship with any of them.

Depends on what your definition of bullshit is. If you're referring to poorly run football franchises and not making the playoffs, the answer is clearly Irsay. He knows enough to keep Polian employed anyway.

You guys are missing the point, which is that the phrase "turd circus" is awesome and I'm stealing it.  We have our new "asshurt".

If male reporters can't go in women's lockerrooms, then the reciprocal should stand.

There should not be a mosque at Ground Zero just like there should be no synagogues near the King David Hotel!

[CBStew]

Briggs says women don't belong in locker rooms.

I know that Briggs is going to catch what I think is an undo ration for this, but I agree with him.  I agree that women are entitled to equal access with male reporters, but even football players have a right to privacy.  I don't see anything so monumentally important about a player's opinions about a game that can't wait until after he has dressed and comes out of the locker room, when both male and female reporters can talk to him.

There are women's lockerrooms now? For sports?

What a world.

Yea, I'm with you here. If they go into the locker room, then they should expect catcalls or whatever. (I could tell you some locker room stories as god as my last HS football story that would blow your mind. No woman belongs in there. Sorry) Listening to the Dan Patrick Show the other day, he mentioned a coach said he wouldn't allow women in the locker room. In turn, they decided that there would be a time where players would go talk to the media in a separate room. Plus, this chick probably loves the attention. I don't recall seeing a ring on her finger. I think I'm heading to Mexico now.

I don't recall hearing about her having a teenage sister.

Don't do it, Yeti. She'd only marry you to stay in the country.
