NFL General News

Let's call it Tankgate.

Roger Goodell is always preaching about the integrity of the game and protecting the shield.

The NFL needs to look into the Raiders putting three of their best players on IR in the days before they apparently did all they could to tank their game against the Giants to secure the #1 pick to draft Fernando Mendoza without having to trade up.

Evidence: The snap count of Maxx Crosby, Brock Bowers and Jeremy Chinn in the previous week's game in Houston in which the Raiders played well in a 23-21 loss.

Crosby: 100% of the snaps. 6 tackles, 2 for loss

Bowers: 98% of the snaps. 5 catches

Chinn: 100% of the snaps. 7 tackles

They were all playing with injuries. Every player does. Did theirs become season-ending on the flight after the game back to Vegas?

Goodell spent $5 million on his silly Tom Brady-Deflategate investigation. Isn't Tankgate at least worth a couple bucks? Wouldn't he love to investigate a team partially owned by Brady?

The 24-point victory was the Giants most one-sided in three years.

It's the end of a shit season for that team, Gary, and they need a QB. Are they being too blatant? Sure, but it happens every year at some level. And there's only one solution to tanking, which is an unweighted lottery.
