Worth an honest reaction. Are we all wasting our valuable time here?

I think this forum could use more whining, stress and angst.
And yes I am whining about all the other whiners.
"the NFL would be better if AR would pull his head out of his ass" lost out to TBD in common sense selections.
Smiley swung it. Packers win by 17.
That question reminds me of the first time I got called by an opinion pollster. One of the questions asked about what corporatoins I looked up to, and my response was something on the order of, "What the **** kind of question is that?"
I need Gravedigger to define the word "trust" before I can answer this question.
Maybe a few examples will help with the definition.
Ted Thompson: Trust the board. Trust your scouting.
Mike McCarthy: Trust the tape. Trust your preparation.
along the line of Fedya's pollster, I was selected for a census "interview" or whatever in 2000. the person came to my door and I told them I would not be participating as I didn't want to divulge personal information to the govt and I believe they use the numbers to justify anything they want. she argued with me and said it just meant her supervisor would be coming next. supervisor came a few days later, I told her the same thing and practically had to close the door in her face. the last thing she said was "can I just mark you done in the normal range for everything?" (something like that). I laughed and told her that she just proved my point - that the numbers are meaningless. didn't hear from them again.
to the point of the thread... the NFL is a big money corporation - no I don't trust them, just like the rest of the big money corporations. suits have never had my best interests in mind and never will. on the other hand, it doesn't really matter if I trust them or not. I try to block out all the crap and just enjoy the football, and yes they keep making that harder to do.
Trust.
Are we now looking for T-R-U-S-T yards instead of R-E-S-P-E-C-T yards?
Maybe RP, but I'm fairly certain Capers doesn't trust the defense to handle in-game adjustments.
Is it trust as defined by SEC or Big Ten teams?
It's okay to trust a stupid face.

Infinite recursive whiner loop.
I am whining about people whining about people who whine.

The owners have bought Goodell. The shield is what he hides behind. It's not about the game or the integrity of sport (if it ever was), it's only about piling up the dollars. Much as we love the game and the games, it's wise to never forget that whenever there's money involved, principals are trampled underfoot. I leave my cynicism behind for three hours on Sundays (and Mondays and Thursdays and Saturdays during the playoffs) and enjoy the confrontation that is the game.
A.J. Hawk sucks because he doesn't trust Brad Jones.
Morgan Burnett has looked bad because he has had no trust in the FS.
Aaron Rodgers didn't challenge Richard Sherman because he didn't trust Jarret Boykin.
You people don't take anything seriously. I'm serious. I'm always serious.
You can trust I'll never start another poll either.
In God I trust. All others get run through NCIC
I don't trust you people who say you people.

Just take me back to media coverage like a Ray Scott announced game, all natural grass outdoor venues, and rules that are much less pass happy and much more defense happy.
The almighty dollar is killing the NFL game.
I thought it was Those people and You people didn't fall under copyright laws.
Tdog and Fandame summed it up as closely as I can:
Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
At what point did Kiel corner the "allowable phrase" market?
He is the epitome of Those people and throws the phrase You people around like a rapper uses bitch.

I have absolute power on x4 & I'm not corrupt 
Everyone has a price Boris.
I trust them as much as I trust any huge, for-profit corporation.
Easy guy
So, are purchases of NFL merchandise deductible as charitable contributions?

All I can say is you people are hateful.
I can't help it. Viking fans taught me how to hate.
