ICYMI: he’ll begin this week!
I kind of enjoyed how the Packers supporters began the MVP chants through the last minutes of the Monday Night Football game. After all, Rodgers might be my private MVP right now, and he is not even on my fantasy football team. (You will want to take a look at the Monday Nightmare for more on that.)

The Pac-12’s uphill battle to fix its officiating problem just got a bit tougher.
Citing personal and professional reasons, current NFL head referee Tony Corrente resigned from his post as the Pac-12’s Coordinator of Football Officiating.
"Under Tony’s leadership, our program made great strides in improving the quality, accountability and consistency," Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement on the matter. "While it’s unfortunate that Tony has decided to leave us at this time, I want to express my appreciation for his contribution, and for leaving our officiating program strong and headed in the right direction."
According to San Jose Mercury News writer Jon Wilner, news of Corrente’s resignation caught Pac-12 officials off guard, as they had been hoping to extend his contract.

The procedure to improve the NFL’s Individual Conduct Policy is underway.
Per NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Commissioner Roger Goodell and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent directed a three-and-a-half hour meeting in the NFL offices in Nyc on Tuesday with an organization of 11 former NFL players to talk about the best way to increase the policy.
There will probably be added such assemblies which will comprise an extensive array of internal and outside views within Commissioner Goodell’s obligation to revamp the league’s Individual Run Policy.
The former NFL players who attended the assembly were Hall of Famer Mike Singletary, Matt Birk, Patrick Kerney, Marty Lyons, Willie McGinest, Eddie Mason, Roman Oben, Tony Paige, Robert Porcher, Scott Turner and Charles Way.

The San Francisco 49ers suspended radio broadcaster Ted Robinson two games on Wednesday for his comments on domestic violence. Robinson, a longtime radio personality, made remarks insensitive to domestic violence victims on KNBR-AM, a Bay Area-based radio station.
"The comments made by radio broadcaster Ted Robinson on Monday were offensive and in no way reflect the views of the San Francisco 49ers organization. We have made the decision to suspend him for the next two games. I informed Ted of our decision earlier today, and we will continue to address this matter with him internally. Our organization stands strongly against domestic violence and will not tolerate comments such as these," 49ers president Paraag Marathe said in a statement.
Shortly after the 49ers announced Robinson’s suspension, the Pac-12 Networks announced their own two-game suspension for the radio broadcaster.
"Ted’s commentary on Monday was entirely unacceptable and stands in stark contrast to the core values of Pac-12 Networks," said Pac-12 Networks President Lydia Murphy-Stephans. "We value Ted as a member of our team, but see this as an important learning opportunity as we work with him through sensitivity training before welcoming him back to our air."
