OT: Anyone watching the flag football game in Cleveland ?

6 personal fouls on cleveland and all legit
Apparently kicking someone in the face is frowned upon
You picked 1 legit penalty . Try again .
These glassed jawed babies are being paid a lot of money .
Walk off the field feeling like you've earned it .
Lots of cheap shots in some of these games. Foles separated his shoulder on being driven into the ground (supposed to be illegal, no call). Jacksonville is just an out of control dirty team and it looks like Cleveland may be the same.
Problem is these players commit penalties on every play, deliberately imo, and the officials have to call it.

Watch just a few games on youtube from as late as the 70s. Stunning how much harder the D was allowed to hit. Even as late as 78 in Super Bowl XIII, which I saw over the winter as the full broadcast got posted and I had missed the original... Bradshaw and Staubach, the Rodgers and Brady of their time, were pulverized every play. There was one play that Bradshaw rolled out and got the pass off. You could count nearly 10 sec and the Dallas DL coming from out 10 yards away... charged and drilled Bradshaw. Ref literally right there. Nothing called.
Not commenting if then or now is better or worse, just really amazing.

Mckee is along the same lines as me Souf .
I love football as much as you I suppose .
Just getting a little pussified anymore with all the flags .
Read Art Donovan's book . Fatso .
"When men were really men" . Good read that delves into what I am trying to say .
Plus he was a really funny guy .
I don’t love football.
Just find the whining from people on their couches about how it’s not “tough enough “ absolutely stupid.
Vote with your feet.
Welcome to the 2020 NFL draft. The Cleveland browns are on the clock.
Really .
I mean all the hype in the off season and ... Well .
" If it's brahn . Flush it dahn " !
Well i actually think it was a little too far in the opposite direction in that time. It was amazing that Staubach and Bradshaw made it through that game. And who would have wanted to see Mike Kruczek or rookie Danny White in that Super Bowl...
But today is definitely trying patience with all the frivolous calls. The sack that they called a few min back in the Brown's game, when Mayfield was spun briefly in the pocket and easily escaped but the refs blew it dead, is indicative of how far the other extreme it has gone.
Was just announced .
Even though Cleveland got its ass handed to them . And in spite of the 75 flags thrown . All members will receive the SoufOaklin4life trophy post game .
Agreed . But do you remember Kruczek's stature ?
He was a gym rat buffed Qb that could handle his own these days .
Not the Mike301 Macho Insecurity award?
It’s okay. Try a few more . You’ll come up with something clever eventually
Correction . Both teams members get a trophy .
Flag football here we come !
Lol. I was a little kid but remember in 76 when Bradshaw was knocked out for most of the season, that the Steelers were so afraid to let Kruczek throw that they had two 1000 yard rushers. Still nearly made it to the SB again because the defense had an incredible regular season with a crazy stretch of shutouts. That also would not happen today. The shutout is probably the biggest nightmare of all football producers.
You mentioned Bradshaw and Stabauch and the beatings they absorbed .
I remember the play when Bradshaw got literally tossed on his head and was knocked out . Imo . All part of the then sport of football . As was the opinion of the men who played it .. Then .
Now you have babies like A.B. crying about a helmet or the fact that he is moronic enough not to protect his feet in a subzero atmosphere .
He would have been destroyed in the first game he played if he received the publicity he's gotten over this prima donna crap . They'd have ate him alive .
Yep. Turkey Jones. I always kid my Browns fan pals that Turkey Jones is actually Cleveland's all time favorite Brown, not Otto Graham or Jim Brown or Bernie Kosar or Ozzie Newsome. They really don't argue too strenuously. Maybe surprisingly, he DID get a penalty for that. That's what it took to draw a flag then.
In Antonio's defense (re the helmet), that was totally fabricated between him and Rosenhaus s an excuse not to play and to get media coverage; he couldn't care less about his helmet. And the feet thing seems oddly suspicious too. Makeup could have produced that 'condition' easily enough. Look how fast Rosenhaus had a pic of Brown photoshopped into a Pats uni and published. They have a whole multi media and PR staff around this guy 24x7.
Actually . It is a brilliant plan on his agent's part .
A.B. . Well he's just the cash cow behind it . I say Touché to the whole scheme . Well played ? Probably .
We'll see how he behaves in N.E. when things dont go his way .(catches)
