I agree about the state of the country. I just don’t think it’s fair to say trump is the root cause. He was merely a catalyst.

Did he say anything about his offensive line?

The idea that someones social opinions is a reason for their bad play in sports is ludicris. Burrow had these same opinions at lsu and the year he dragged that sorry excuse for a franchise to the super bowl.

I think his point was not so much his social views, but his focus on other things not football-related. I did see him get caught up some in his image last year, but it certainly didn't affect his play last year when he was shredding defenses across the league on the way to the Super Bowl. They are only 2 games into the season and he had surgery just before the season started, so this talk seems premature at this point.

Zero evidence?



So this didn’t take a disproportionate amount of time to do right before the biggest game of his life? Some of y’all are delusional. You can say that it’s not an issue if that’s what you believe, but “zero evidence” is flat out wrong

You are assuming a lot here. Who’s to say he doesn’t have some person just pitch some suits for him to where and he points at the one he likes?

That may not be the case. Probably isn’t. But who knows?

Sometimes the truth is needed if you say you care about someone. If I see someone driving down the street and I know the bridge is out and don’t try to warn them, do I give a crap about them? Uh, probably not.


Jason simply spoke the truth, and that’s that Joe needs to get his head back in the game, and get his focus off of the nonsense, recapture his purpose and hunger, keep his head down and get to work. It happens to a LOT of younger people especially who are given ridiculous attention, and they don’t know what to do with it, or handle it all. That’s not just football. That’s in life.

The best thing Joe can do right now is stop worrying about trying to get everybody to like you, and just be the best quarterback you can possibly be.

Wait... youre suggesting what he chose to wear to the superbowl is proof his mind wasnt on football?
Youre right... someone is delusional.

Jason ,nor anyone in this thread ,knows where Joe's head is.

Jason, nor anyone in this thread, knows if Joe has lost his purpose.
You just dont like some things joe has said or done recently and are using that to act like its the reason his team isnt winning.

You dont know Joe and in no way are privy to info saying joe isnt handling anything well. Again... you dont agree with things joe has said or done and are using that to just think up shite.

Jason , nor anyone in this thread, has any idea what joe is focusing on. Jason ,nor anyone in this thread, has any proof that joe isnt putting as much effort into football.

You have no idea if this is happening. Its mindblowing to suggest you do. You dont know joe, arent privy to what his studying of football was before he did things you dont approve of and arent privy to what they are now. Stop making shite up about someone you dont know and arent around.

That would be evidence, also. The point is there is a lot of evidence - not zero; a lot!

No one is delusional. You just don't know the difference between evidence and proof.

Someones choice of outfit isnt evidence of not being committed to football. To suggest otherwise is fricking idiotic.

I think he might be doing just that. I saw somewhere that he took down all his social media accounts.

I believe in Jeaux and black power. I just think it’s dangerous for athletes to be given such a platform for social and political issues. It appears dangerous for both society and athletes.

Nope. You're wrong, Rickdaddy. Nothing unusual there, lol. You can't link me saying anything of the sort.

Another poster said it was evidence; a third said the other was delusional to say that was proof; and I replied that there was a difference between evidence and proof.

You jumped in and ejaculated that I was idiotic to say something I never said. So who is the idiot?

F*ck this writer & f*ck anyone who agrees with him. Joe Burrow came back to a trash OL after rehabbing a knee. That’s his issue lmao. STILL went to a Super Bowl.

Got shite to do with his values, which are lightyears more respectable than 9/10 spoiled brats in the NFL.

Y’all didn’t deserve 2019.
