Late Football Season Hodge Podge

As this football season comes to a close, several things have transpired. I could write a book on each one, but I don't have that much time or space.

1. How did FSU lose to the University of Houston??!! How??! How was that possible? 

2. So, let me get this right... you warn 2 teams (Steelers and Bengals) that there should be no funny business during their playoff game. So what happens?! A bunch of nonsense involving the Bengals players and the Steelers coaches. My solution? In a perfect world, the Steelers shouldn't be in the playoffs. There, I said it. Should. Not. Be. There. And neither should the Bengals. They were both warned about their actions. But I'm really wondering what they were threatened with for punishment. Fines are great and the money goes to charity but Come On Man. Want to know how to stop the nonsense? Make them lose draft picks. And not 6 round draft picks. The behavior all the way around was shameful. Marvin Lewis and Mike Tomlin need to take a serious look in the mirror. Get a hold of yourselves Gentlemen. Get control of your coaches and players.

3. NFL league office, I have a question for you: What is a catch???!!! When former and current players calling a game/giving commentary can't tell you why a catch isn't a catch it's time to get a hold of yourselves and BE CLEAR ABOUT IT. Also, if you are serious about launching and head injuries, then be stiffer with penalties.

4. To the "poor" female Bengals fan, Girl, I'm sorry for your pain. I'm sorry it has begun to be in vogue to show football fans shocked and sad that their football team is about to lose a close game. It's been VERY prevalent on ESPN Saturday college football games. And now, a NFL fan whose team is in the playoffs, her team does some REALLY dumb things at the end of the game, somebody puts a camera on her. Nobody REALLY feels her pain. Everybody instead making fun of her for being sad about her team losing. I can't say for certain but I'm pretty sure her husband didn't buy her that shirt (for those that are new here, that implies that this girl is in charge of her fan hood, she needs no man to tell her which team (or colors) to cheer for, she wasn't bored on a Saturday night and showed up to a Bengals Playoff game). And maybe or maybe not (more like quite probably) I would have done the same. But thanks to her, I now know I need to cover my face when I use emotion at a football game.

5. Why did FSU lose to Houston??!! WHYYYY???!!

6. Dear FSU fans, There will NEVER be another FSU team assembled like the 2013 and 2014 FSU football team. EVER. Statistically those players who have gone to the NFL from those 2 years have done incredible things. So let's not be disappointed Sean Maguire and Everett Golson were not Jameis Winston. Bobo Wilson is NOT Kelvin Benjamin. Yet. So, let's thank Jimbo Fisher for accomplishing this crazy feat among football and giving us 2 incredible seasons!! And hope he strives for more incredible things!!!

7. ESPN has a major bias against FSU. I promise you haven't heard this reason yet. I made a sign for the Peach Bowl. It had ESPN on it, in glitter no less and I received no airtime. I even had my young nephews wielding the signs. So, my message to ESPN is grow up. You are steadily losing viewers and having to cut jobs. Figure out a way to make FSU fans happy. BTW, one of your biggest personalities, Sam Ponder, is married to a former FSU Quarterback and named their daughter Bowden St. Claire (they call her Scout. She's an Instagram star). So there's that.
