The NFL:
The NFL has jumped on the L.A. fire bandwagon, promoting a moment of silence before the league’s wild card games this past weekend.
Brian complains that the NFL’s motives are financial and monetarily motivated, and has nothing to do with the 32 billionaires who run the league actually caring about the victims.
Brian was also tiffed when he saw an ad from the NFL and American Red Cross online. The NFL, quite literally, will suck the blood out of their fans.

AJ Brown Book Club:

Philly Fanatics: Staying in Philadelphia, Eagles Ryan Caldwell was fired from his place of employment after his bad behavior was caught on camera and posted world wide on social media. Brian and Gary discuss unsportsmanlike behavior, attending games in Philly, and if the victim’s fiance is culpable in any way.
The End of Over-Socialization: Has the past 125 years/20th Century been the exception to the rule in how much people actually socialize with each other? It seems as a society we’re starting to regress, to be more solitary and anti-social.
