Re: 2016 NFL Week 1
I'm pretty sure the Bears have monetized "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" for years. Regardless, if you want to be cautious about IP law and not go with "#BearDownChicagoBears" (which may or may not run afoul of UofA's apparent trademark on "Bear Down", of which I was unaware until now, although I knew they also used the phrase), they still should have gone with something better than "#FeedDaBears", which is awful no matter how you slice it. "#GoBears" would have been light years better.
That's my purse! I don't know you!

Nobody is trying to monetize those hashtags.

Seahawks’ Doug Baldwin, Bobby Wagner considering expanding national-anthem protest
Given that Pete Carroll is a 9/11 Truther it seems only fitting that his team would sit out on the anthem on 9/11.

7 felony charges for beating a 70 year old man and his son with a cane. Is there something in the water out there? The Niners sure do seem to have more than their share of these asshats.

Well do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?

Turnovers killing the Broncos.
Even if they make 2 field goals on 3 of those turnovers, they are in control.

wow, talk about lucky. Bronco's new QB looks decent, just needs to reign in the dumb rookie mistakes, but overall, he looked confident and poised.

Re: 2016 NFL Week 1
A bit more squeak than boom but I'll take it
Siemian did well for his NFL regular season debut, but C.J. Anderson was the real MVP tonight. Defense was okay in the 1st half but got way better after Siemian's second interception (like an extra wake-up call).

The last hit on Cam was terrible. I'm guessing that Bronco will get a hefty fine this week. And Cam sure did seem a bit woozy out there; I'm surprised (but not that surprised) that they never tested him on the sideline.msteelers wrote:It sure seemed like they didn't care about head injuries in the game.stessier wrote:Concussion protocol being ignored and they aren't calling helmet to helmet hits anymore.

And I don't know what Al Michaels was talking about before the last FG attempt when he said Gano was a good kicker. The stat they showed said in late game FG attempts for ties or wins he was 10/15 (now 10/16). 66% is pretty terrible for a pro kicker!

From a Bronco fan, It was kind of poetic justice. They mentioned a couple different times about Gano essentially bragging he could hit from 60+ yards because of the altitude.

Well, he certainly had the distance on the 50 yarder. Unfortunately, altitude doesn't help with accuracy...

He made the first one and missed the second. 50% accuracy from 50 yards isn't horrible.
