03/05/2007 |  Apparently, the big, bad, fearless National Football League has its sensitive side. The question is: Sensitive to whom? Obviously, not to Americans concerned about our nations porous borders.
U.S. Border Patrol officials had hoped to publish an advertisement in the program used at this years Super Bowl. The ad was intended as a recruiting tool. It mentioned that Border Patrol agents fight terrorism and help to keep illegal aliens and illegal drugs from crossing our borders.
No, said the NFL. Too controversial.
The Border Patrol was told that its ad would not run. Border Patrol officials didnt take the league up on its offer to run what an NFL official referred to as a more generic ad ... that didnt highlight the borders, which brings up the immigration issue and the immigration debate. Thats controversial.
Not among most Americans including the National Basketball Association and the National Collegiate Athletic Association, both of which have agreed to use the Border Patrol ad in programs for events later this year.
Somehow, we dont think most NFL fans will agree with the leagues stance that enforcing our nations laws is controversial.
Football fans ought to make their displeasure known to league officials.

02/05/2006 | I think Tags has someone else lay down money for him so he can collect on all the bad calls by the refs. Oh, that's right P.T. "TELLS" the refs whom he wants to win. I wish the NFL would "TAG" him and send him on his way.

02/05/2006 | this super bowl, is the most flagrant disregard of the calls. Please review, all of the calls, and also the side bets, or online bets, or any Private bets of these referees! I'm am so disgusted by this game, that I will not attend a game this coming season, or watch the next season, I can understand the the point break in the odds, but these calls are horrendous!

11/27/2005 | The officiating in this league is pathetic. The part-time geriatric crews that make up the officiating crews are slow to make calls, certain crews take the rhythm out of the games by calling every little thing they see, and they all work their games walking on eggshells and huddle up more than the players!

10/09/2005 | For Paul Tagliabue to allow the NFL Referees to continue to perform as poorly as they do, is criminal. He gets a 'terrible' from this end of the nation! The referees make so many errors and bad calls without consequence that it alters the outcome of so many games in the NFL and makes viewing and spending money nauseating.

08/23/2004 | Taglia-boob. The league is so watered down. It's not like it was back in the 70's and 80's. He is lacking a backbone.

07/15/2004 | I think he is the best commissioner in the major sports..... everything in the NFL is going smooth, except for Bill Romanowski.

03/24/2004 | I think it's ridiculous that he fined the Lions' owner a quarter million dollars for not interviewing a black coach before hiring Mariucci. What is he doing telling owners who they should hire and who they shouldn't. Also, I know this is rampant through-out pro-sports but he really needs to put to stop that abuse of using tax-payers money in financing stadiums. I do like the strict salary caps he imposes on teams though. It seems to ensure that the same team doesn't always go to the super bowl.

02/09/2004 | Other than robbing many fans of their NFL teams, Cleveland and LA come to mind. Or, flashing t!ts during the 1/2 time show, and ignoring the murder/steriod problem that plagues his league. Nice work.
