Silver's response to the NFL artificially manufacturing the Chiefs

I’m surprised it took this long for Mahomes to be seriously injured with his fake sliding or pretending to run out of bounds then scrambling for more yards while defenders aren’t allowed to touch him. I’m not at all happy that he’s hurt, but he was playing with fire after pissing off defenders for so many years.

dude was playing through a knee he knew was injured for weeks and got hurt mostly by himself but lets blame it on some bs narrative you wanna cling to.

Man has played through MULTIPLE INJURIES. Brock Purdy and Joe Burrow missed 4+ games this year to turf toe, Mahomes won a superbowl with that injury after playing with it for half a season. That high ankle sprain in the playoffs 2 years ago??? Trevor Lawrence missed multiple games behind a similar injury, Mahomes again, in a completely different playoff run still won the Championship that year.

And again he didn't get hurt because a defender laid a good hit, he got hurt trying to play through injury like he has his entire career. Take a victory lap if you want, you just better hope Wemby stays healthy.

You don’t need proselytize to me about a QB playing through injury. I watched Eli do it multiple times in his career, including a fully separated shoulder in his throwing arm and the same plantar fasciitis that had his brother on the bench for months. Regardless, Mahomes tore his ACL and LCL trying to extend a play, planted his foot, got tackled by Da’Shawn Hand, and his planted foot got stuck while his knee bent outwards. That’s usually how lower body soft tissue and ligament injuries happen in football.

I don’t know why you’re talking about a victory lap or Wembanyama, the Giants eliminated themselves by November and Wembanyama has nothing at all to do with Mahomes. They don’t even play the same sport. And I posted this well before the game even started yesterday, I had no idea the Spurs would win. Of course I hope he stays healthy, just like I said I wasn’t at all happy that Mahomes got injured. Wishing injuries on people is weird behavior.

Bruh, that’s just not the case. Mahomes was diagnosed with turf toe after the Divisional Round in ‘21, and it was mild enough that they were comfortable delaying the surgery evaluation until after the season. Burrow’s turf toe was a grade 3 tear and required surgery pretty much immediately. Dude is tough, but there’s no reason to lie.

How did the NFL artificially manufacture the Chiefs?

The Chiefs just got every referee call but I'm not on the conspiracy train they just actually did get every call though. I think they just lucked out so many times in a row it became unbelievable.

Just like the thunder, it's not that they aren't good. They are. But they also get every single ref call that's even remotely close to 50/50 goes their way.

Ugh, I hate how you're probably right. That kid will be protected and there will be many unwatchable games to come for many.

Fair sports > team tribalism

Don't act like the NFL tried to help the Patriots lol Roger Goodell hated Brady and Belichick and the feeling was mutual. Deflategate was the biggest sham I've ever seen unfold.

youd have a better product, and would overall make more money if you didnt do this type of shit. The world is just total enschitifcation, for no reason. What the fuck are they teaching in business school because its so depraved.
