Does anybody else think Jon Stewart isn't funny?

Btw, here was Jon Stewart railing Nancy Grace (another annoying, albeit far more annoying media personality than Stewart) over the Duke Lacrosse case, for her coming to conclusions too soon:

Yet with this PR nonsense, jumping to conclusions and knee-jerk reaction is exactly what was done during the Zimmerman case by Stewart, and he wanted the NFL to jump the gun and just punish the guy based on conjecture.. i.e. the presumption the NFL actually possessed and saw the tape and tried to cover up something the media (due to FOIA requests since it was in police hands) would have their hands on regardless.

It also ignores her role in this incident, and places her as a victim because she's a woman (just like the media, especially CNN, has been doing -- so much for equality and equal treatment), and because Ray Rice dealt more damage.

I have no problem with Ray Rice facing justice by the police, but it's not the NFL's job to make up for the police not punishing him the way the public wanted. This is yet another issue the public are frustratingly dense on.. and of course it's on another sensitive topic, and deals with knee-jerk reaction once again.

Looking ahead to Sundays TV schedule and it just shows CBS broadcasting a 10am game. I know the Titans game is supposed to be on Fox, but it's not showing on my guide. I'm on Telus and do not pay for the east feeds.

Is if on for other people that have Telus or People that have Shaw?

I'm with Telus (though I do have the east feeds too) but for the normal feeds (the channels in the 100's) my guide says that at 10am on Fox (channel 137) "Brazil Butt Lift" is on lol

edit: for only $6 a month I do highly recommend Telus's east feeds

You have NFLST right?

Are you able to use multiview with NFLST channels?

Doesn't work for Redzone.

I'm sure we disagree on this subject, but just to clarify, when they say "indefinite" suspension, it does not mean forever/lifetime.

I guarantee you the indefinite thing was a PR move so the NFL can sit down with their lawyers and the NFLPA and find out how long they can tangibly suspend him for without having to be in court/lose a court battle over it. Sports leagues in the US are bound to antitrust regulations akin to Eighth-amendment-like rules where they can't excessively punish someone. (see: Alex Rodriguez, NO Saints team)

You bet for the sake of PR and PR alone the league wants to suspend him at least a year or two. But because they already issued the ruling, and that Eighth-amendment-like thing is in place, I dunno if they can get away with punishing him again for the same thing.

This, of course, is the problem with the NFL trying to be backup cop in the first place.

Of course indefinite doesn't automatically mean forever, but the shelf life of an NFL running back is very short. In this case an indefinite suspension that even lasts 2 years will be enough to doom him. If he were a QB then that's a different story. QB's, if they are good, can play up to 15 years.

Man two clean hits in a row by the Steelers are flagged... what pansy reffing

I saw 2 blows to the head. Well 1 was to the neck. Still, above the shoulder pads is a no-no and they went there so they got called. If you dont agree with the rules to protect players thats one thing but the refs called it correctly.
