The game’s a disaster—except for Titans fans—full of miscues, muffed punts, questionable coaching, and personal fouls.

The NFL just announced a new social media policy that is about as anti-fan friendly as it gets. According to league memos obtained by ESPN, the league’s social media policy (which takes effect tomorrow) effectively bans all video-based social media during games. First, it restricts them from going live on apps like Facebook Live or Periscope during or after the game. Previously, teams have gone live to share behind-the-scenes experiences with fans, but this will no longer be allowed.

Former NFL player Eben Britton says he was smoking pot while in the NFL, sometimes before games, and often played better while high. “NFL games I played stoned were some of the best games I ever played. Cannabis cements your surroundings,” Britton told the New York Post. “A lot of people say they’re useless when they smoke weed. But hell, I played NFL games [while stoned], dude. My performances were solid and I felt really good after.”

Comedy Central’s South Park has never been a show to shy away from social issues and the NFL. Wednesday’s episode was no exception. The show teased that it would take on Colin Kaepernick’s protest during the national anthem on Monday. When the episode aired Wednesday, Kaepernick’s protest spread from the NFL to elementary school sports. It was a hilarious jab at the over-the-top media coverage Kaepernick’s action of kneeling has received rather than the actual message and conversation he’s trying to promote.

On Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters raised his fist, four Miami Dolphins players knelt, and teams interlocked arms as a sign of unity. Each protest came during the playing of the national anthem at the start of their teams' games, adding to a wave of demonstrations set off during the preseason by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Peters -- who is black and told the press Friday that he salutes Kaepernick for his protests, calling it "a great cause" -- raised his fist in protest...

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken bone in his back during Thursday's preseason game, and a source confirmed to ESPN on Saturday that he could miss six to 10 weeks.

The federal judge who more than doubled former NFL star Darren Sharper's prison sentence told him that courts cannot ignore the damage he inflicted on women and on society at large. U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo (TREESH mil-AH-zoh) had rejected a multistate plea agreement's 9-year sentence as too short. She sentenced Sharper on Thursday to 18 years and four months, and a $20,000 fine. Before handing down the sentence, the judge told him she could never understand "how you arrived at this place," since he is educated and obviously grew up "in one of the most loving households."
