the NFL isn't tightly scripted. nobody really cares what the poo poo tier teams do. let the jags and the vikes shoot their shots. but by the time the conference finals roll around it will be clear that the NFL is scripted.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
Pro Wrestling is less scripted than the NFL which is why the XFL re-birth will be the end of the NFL.

I prefer to think of it as a Whose Line Is It Anyway script, where everything's made up and the points don't matter.

The Cleveland Browns are Colin Mochrie.

Yeah, the Browns are Tony Slattery. Excellent throughout the late 80's, then fell off throughout the early 90's only to disappear entirely for a few years, then come back in a greatly diminished role

I feel like there are two separate writers group and the one in charge of the AFC just doesnt give a gently caress.

Look at those NFC chumps, sweating it out on how to rotate fresh teams in year after year, how to gracefully give non playoff teams narrative focus time. I bet you think theres a lot of pride in that. Well We here in the AFC pride ourselves on different values, we believe in working 9-5 with two hour lunches, summer fridays, and in office alcohol available on demand.

clearly nobody is actually paying attention to what the AFC team is doing, poo poo they out and out copied one of the NFC arcs, they just made the record slightly worse to compensate and hope nobody would notice

Ask me about Derek Carr's stolen MVP awards, those dastardly refs, and, oh yeah, having the absolute worst fucking gimmick in The Football Funhouse.
For the NFL script, is Jonah Hill still going to play Sashi Brown?

The National Football League has matches that consist of a series of predetermined events written on paper that ultimately state the victors and losers.

Gruden's deal came with the promise of NFL support, so ESPN could dump his salary. Look for lots of pro-raider calls to come.

Patriots "power struggle" story is fake news meant to drive interest in a dying franchise

As I noted above, the AFC writes the same drat story every season and whenever they write themselves into a corner they just go "A referee calls a penalty for the Pats" no matter how absurd the situation.

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
The NFL's script is like one of those rom coms where the lead is a real loser and jealous of their rival who seems to win at everything, but there's no plot development and it just stays that way the whole time. Certified fresh.

It makes sense. I mean, if the Steelers had won today, then next week would be another case of "Pats are handed the game on a platter made of blatantly rigged calls."

But, by giving the jobber team the upset today, no one will be surprised when the Pats win.
