The rudderless ship called the NFL runs aground yet again NFL dumps quarterback photo that omitted Brady, Romo, others Posted by Mike Florio on September 6, 2015, 11:58 PM EDT The NFL made a bit of a stir with a photo posted Sunday night on its Twitter page. The NFL possibly has laid the foundation for even more of a stir by deleting it. The tweet contained a fill-in-the-blank proposition, seeking predictions as to the two teams that will remain when the season ends at Super Bowl 50. The photo accompanying the tweet had the Super Bowl logo as the centerpiece, with seven quarterbacks surrounding it: Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees Carson Palmer, and Aaron Rodgers. Between them, they have six Super Bowl wins. Three quarterbacks omitted from the photo — Tom Brady, Eli Manning, and Joe Flacco — have seven. Much of the criticism that sprang up on social media centered on the decision to omit Brady, who has four Super Bowl wins, six appearances, and whose team will be raising the Super Bowl XLIX banner on Thursday night. But the photo also omitted Tony Romo, the quarterback whom the NFL Twitter page trolled in June regarding the cancellation of his fantasy football convention. A lawsuit over the cancellation of the convention has been filed against the NFL. The tweet that directly took a shot at Romo was quickly deleted. The tweet that didn’t directly take a shot at anyone has been deleted, too.
You quoted a Mike Florio article to display the NFL's petty behavior? Come on, CJ. You're smarter than that. Mike Florio is a fucking diseased barnacle.
Are you feeling bad for Eli and Flacco? Or is this just another whiny bitchfest about Brady? The man fucking cheated. STFU already and accept it. Nobody is celebrating that douchebag. _
how dare the NFL post a picture of only certain QBs but not some peoples favorite. very petty of them to only include 7 QBs but not my favorite. I'm outraged. Don is right -where the hell is Geno Smith? Next time they have an unpaid graphics dept intern piece together a picture for an unpaid social media dept intern to tweet, they better include all 80 NFL QBs so as to not exclude anyones' favorite or they might look petty.
Outside of Palmer who is a good QB they didn't exactly include some garbage like whatever dumpster fire the Jags or Raiders are going to throw out there. I mean when you factor in Eli, Brady and Flacco you only have combined 3 Super Bowl wins and 4 asterisks so not really that big of a deal
