I'd rather watch players kneel during the anthem than see Zeke's abs

That tat isn't gonna age well.

Place looks like Jerry World with a different colored roof.  And the bored 8th grader in study hall Ram drawing at midfield.

The Cleveland Rams were the first team to ever wear a helmet decal. 

The Cleveland Browns are the final holdout.

If you're an Eagles fan what the heck happened yesterday? Wentz was throwing all over Washington's secondary until halftime. Up 17-0. The only potential worse loss is if the Steelers blow it to the Giants tonight. Washington and the Giants are bottom five teams this season.

Curiosity... 

Why does the NFL not start games until 1 ET while CFB starts games at Noon ET?

Is it because it's Sunday and a legacy holdover from some of the blue laws not allowing alcohol sales until 12:30 "so everyone is out of church first", or is it just something unique to the sport with no explanation?

College football used to always start at 1 too, as more games were televised, they discovered they could cram more in if they started a little earlier.

As far as NFL goes, my guess is that they don't want to start games before noon local time, so starting at 1 allows them to put any games played in two time zones in the early window, as opposed to just 1.

Probably has to do with Church goers to some degree as well.

I’ve always assumed it was so people could get home from church.

Back in the primordial ooze era of college football, all games started at 1:30 PM during daylight savings time and 1 PM during standard time.

As for the Vikings, if there was any doubt that their Super Bowl window has closed, yesterday was it. Letting old man Rodgers slice up the supposedly rebuilt secondary was pathetic.
