The RP’s Weekly Web Gems: The Politics of Pigskin

The Politics of Pigskin

According to Pro Football Reference the 49ers became the first team to accumulate over 300 yards in both passing and rushing. How’s that for a balanced offence? [Pro-Football-Reference]

Cheifs OT Eric Winston had strong words following their game on Sunday regarding fans who cheered when Matt Cassel went down with an injury (which later turned out to be a concussion). [Arrowhead Pride]

Another starting QB was knocked out of his game on Sunday when Robert Griffin III also sustained a concussion while scrambling for a first down. The hit was deemed legal because RG III had not slid. [ESPN]

The Colts did right by absent head coach Chuck Pagano on Sunday – upsetting the Packers and sending a game ball to Pagano in the hospital. [SI]

For Sunday’s night game fans were treated to the Saints claiming their first win of the season and Drew Brees breaking Johnny Unitas’ record for consecutive games with a passing TD. [ESPN]

In the Recovering Politician Bowl we lost our last unbeaten team as the Powerful Lobbyists took their first loss.
