If these cleats help prevent injuries, he should be allowed to wear them
The NFL will fine a player over shoes but has no problem plastering gambling ads all over every game. What a joke
#Bears QB Caleb Williams says he will continue wearing Caddix cleats despite being fined by the NFL, believing the science behind the cleats could help improve his availability both now and in the future.
“They are a science-type of cleat. It’s something that focuses on when you plant on the hard plants on turf or grass, they call them SmartStuds, and they move when you move. They take tension off of your tendons, your joints and all of that. ... I’m focused on being able to be out here for the guys. And if that can give me a small percentage up and it works, then that’s what I’m gonna do.”

The refs in Packers-Lions need to be investigated:
- Whistle never blows, Amon-Ra St. Brown kicks a ref in the gut during tackle, Packers get flagged
- Multiple horrible roughing the passer calls
- “Intentional grounding” on Jordan Love
- Brian Branch launching himself headfirst into Tucker Kraft’s head

Green Bay Packers 2026 penalty numbers, specifically on all-important THIRD DOWN plays & in the FOURTH QTR of games
The #Packers lead the #NFL in 4TH qtr penalty per game avg, recording historically high numbers in this category
Compounding that, the @packers have off-the-charts numbers surrendering AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS via penalty on THIRD DOWN plays (& primarily in the 4th qtr)
None of this is news to Green Bay players/coaches or fans
Three games in particular this season (@Vikings @Lions & vs Cowboys) were beyond ridiculous w' officiating in the 4th qtr of those contests
There are many numbers I can detail going back two decades but ill use 2021/2025 five-yr data as comparison to highlight the statistical improbablity of the 2026 stats
Green Bay is surrendering 1.71 AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS per game on THIRD DOWN
To put that in perspective, over the past 5 seasons the next highest avg in this category is the 2023 Titans (0.94 per game) & the 2021 #Bills at 0.89 per game
GB is averaging almost DOUBLE per game of the next highest penalized team over past 5 seasons in this category
In the FOURTH QTR, Green Bay is surrendering 1.29 AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS via penalty in 2026
The next closest to that the past five seasons is the 2024 Commanders at 0.90 per 4th qtr
The bulk of Packers ROUGHING THE PASSER & UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS & ILLEGAL CONTACT penalties have occurred in the 4th qtr (see clip #GBvsMIN Week 1 w' Shawn Hochuli)
For the record im not a Packers fan, just someone that studies data
But I watch every game & the officiating in some GB contests this season has been diabolical late
The general response is "just play better" so a bad call or calls have no impact on the final outcome
That sounds great & im sure every team would love to be ahead 50-0 in the 4th so an atrocious UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS penalty has zero impact
But the fact is most games come down to the final 10 mins & if you're on the wrong end of bad calls in the 4th qtr & particularly on 3rd down, its near impossible to overcome
Its up to Matt LaFleur & Packers hierarchy to inform @NFLOfficiating & start calling out the one-sided numbers
The positive would be these numbers can't continue indefinitely & GB does have 6 more games at Lambeau Field, where they historically have received better treatment

Xavier McKinney said the game was “for sure” stolen from the Packers by the refs:
"We’re not seeing the same calls for our quarterback."
“It’s kinda fucking up the games if I’m being honest.”
"I would rather get fined trying to help my team."

@NFL @NFLOfficiating let’s just go to flag football if everytime a qb gets touched it’s roughing the passer!

Through Week 5, Jordan Love is 1 of 2 QBs to throw for multiple TDs in every game this season (Brock Purdy)
He has done so while being last in Time To Throw, has the most quick pressures in the NFL, is #1 in QB Hits, has the most dropped passes, & a rushing game ranked 32 of 32

The White Sox need to dust off the old iconic Pirates of the Caribbean/Thunderstruck intro for Wednesday's game. Imagine an updated version of this #WhiteSox
