    AF is probably right though that people should use time more wisely . Vikings cover the spread by about 15 points . Danke can even help himself to one of my Dos Equis .

    Saints & Bills win , no real surprises there . Miami though , pretty bad . NFC North clearly the best of the NFC right now . Afc looks to be Chiefs on top.

    I have just composed a letter to Steve Underwood, President and CEO of the Titans. Today the Titans and Seahawks did not take the field for the National Anthem in protest of racial inequality. We turned off the game and I am getting rid of every single bit of Titans merchandise and will not be buying any more. I will be firing off a letter to Roger Goddell saying pretty much the same thing.

    And I will be writing to my city councilwoman and my state legislators to say no more money for stadium improvements or anything to support infrastructure to the stadium. They pay a lot of overtime to police and EMS personnel on game day, and I'm sure it might make a statement if none of those brutal police showed up to direct traffic or take care of the fans in the 90 degree heat. I might also write to the Chief of Police or the union to suggest they come down with blue flu on game days to protest the protests against their work.

    For the record, Nashville was one of the leaders in civil rights long before anyone ever heard of Rosa Parks or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Vanderbilt University was founded as a place where people could come together and talk about ideas. Fisk University was the first university for freed slaves. The history was not as pretty as that (according to a black historian I had lunch with one day), but it's still there, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers are the group that led to the Music City USA nickname. There is also Meharry Medical College, a traditionally black medical school as well as Tennessee State University that still carries a strong black tradition. Many areas of town, including mine, are naturally integrated with many races and cultures, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should face inequality here. There are more resources here than almost anywhere.

    So said the fat little grandma.

    Such displays of protest are really displays of ignorance, and I'm done with the NFL.

    I do not really care about the Anthem one way or the other . Not sure I really know why it is even needed at an NFL game . If I owned a team though , what you do in uniform is paid as far as I am concerned and you will do as instructed .

    Alex Smith would have won that Superbowl with the Niners if they had played him. Kaepernick was a deer in the headlights.

    And that's fine. However, it is not wise to ignore the market. The other option would be not to keep the tradition of the anthem. Flags are usually presented by the National Guard or from Ft. Campbell and sometimes includes a flyover.

    We have been to exactly one game when a friend was trying to unload tickets and it looked like a good anniversary gift for husband. We do not own PSLs and will not buy tickets.

    I notice that one MLB player is doing this. It jolly well better not happen with my beloved Dodgers. They forced the issue of an integrated league, and nobody playing for them should ever consider protesting.

    Did you all know there is an NFL rule requiring the National Anthem be played before every game, both teams are require to be on the field, standing, facing the flag, holding helmets in left hand? And that there are penalties?

    Might shake up the season and even next year if those penalties were enforced, because one of them has to do with draft picks.

    I am a Vikings fan , Coach Bud Grant would have always had players on the sideline helmet in hand . He played in the NFL , NBA , won a 1950 NBA Championship , won 4 Grey Cups in five seasons in the CFL as a coach and took the Vikings to four Super Bowls . His Father played for the Duluth Eskimos .

    Brissett has always looked like a competent comfortable passer, it was a bad coaching call to proceed as if Tolzein was on the same level. And TY is a monster. I was surprised the game ended up as close as it did personally. Luck is an amazing QB but if I was the GM I'd shop his ass to start filling some of the glaring holes on the oline and D.

    His receivers and runners aren't the ones giving him a chance to let his brilliance shine. They're good, and a large part of why the Chiefs are being called the best team, but they aren't making Smith suddenly look like Staubach. He finally has a seriously good offensive line. Last year he was having to get the ball out in two seconds. Even Tyreek Hill can't run fifty yards in two seconds. No wonder the morons were claiming (against all kinds of evidence) he couldn't throw the ball more than five yards.

    Just because offensive lines never get any credit does not mean they don't make all the difference. The last time the Chiefs had an offense this good, it outlasted Joe Montana and even outlasted Marcus Allen. But by the time John Alt, Dave Szott and Will Shields retired, it was over.

    I've been a Chiefs fan longer than you. I'm pretty sure the best we can hope for is that the officials will make it so obvious they're cheating the Chiefs in the postseason that the fans finally lynch Roger Goodell.

    I'm old enough to remember 1999. I know what the Chiefs deserve. I also know what gifts John Elway gets given to him.

    When the opposition assigns three guys to cover him, it sure makes Chris Conley and Albert Wilson look good, doesn't it?

    Agreed. But their "solution" was widely panned and didn't work. They tried to stay out of it, but it got interpreted like the whole team was boycotting the flag worship (except for one player).

    But I gotta admit, it's funny watching all the Trump supporters praising an anchor baby* named Alejandro Villaneuva.

    I remember when the Chiefs came to Minnesota in the 1970 season Opener , Vikings win 27 - 10 attendance was 47,900 ( super bowl rematch from previous season ). Vikings would end season first in total defense . Vikings also beat the NFC super bowl team Cowboys that season 54 - 13 , Cowboys would lose to the Colts 16 - 13 .

    Some crazy finishes this week. Rookie tries longest field goal of his career- 61 yards- and makes it to give Philly a win. Detroit scores what looked like the winning touchdown against the Falcons with nine seconds left but they said his knee hit the ground before the ball crossed the plane- rule runs off the final nine seconds so they don't get another shot. New England needed a last minute drive to avoid their second loss of the season. Couple overtime games. Bears could have avoided OT (which they won anyways) when they blocked a field goal and were returning it for a likely touchdown but he slowed down too soon and Steelers caught him just at the end and knocked the ball out of his hand and through the back of the endzone.

    AFC West not as tough as first seemed? Denver and Raiders lose. KC still looking dominating. In Denver's case, they returned to their "can't run the football" ways. Last week they rushed for over 100 yards against Dallas but late in the game lost a starting rookie lineman to injury. This week the run was less effective (still had 100 yards) so the defense was able to focus on the QB and receivers. That increased pressure forced more turnovers and errant passes. Offensive lines are key- and Denver's is still pretty thin. They made improvements but lack depth so injuries are important. Broncos get the Raiders at home next week.

    Denver had a weird play too. They were down by seven and had the Bills stopped on third down. Vaughn Miller had been joking with Bill's QB Tyrod Taylor. Miller had legally knocked Taylor down and reached his hand out to help him up but pulled it away. Both guys were laughing. But officials hit him with an unsportsmanlike penalty which kept the drive alive and led to a field goal.

    Six out of eight unbeaten teams lost- leaving KC and Atlanta as the last two to not lose. Atlanta barely escaped.
