NFL moves Mexico City game to LA because the field sucks

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams were set for this week's Roger Goodell World Tour in Mexico City this weekend. Except the field ended up looking like the stampede from 'The Lion King' that killed Mufasa went through it. The game is being moved to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

It took a lot of consulting with various people, including the NFLPA and just basically took way too long to determine that these fields were just waiting to tear someone's entire lower body apart.

Some good news, though - The Rams are expected to provide complimentary tickets to the now-moved game to first responders and those affected by the wildfires in Southern California. 

The Rams will be providing thousands of complimentary tickets to Monday night's game - now at the Coliseum - to first responders and those affected by the communities recent tragedies.

extra points:

• The Arizona Cardinals put G Justin Pugh on injured reserve on Tuesday after suffering a knee injury during Sunday's game. 
• After losing QB Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that current and maybe third stringer (?? I've lost count) Nick Mullens will remain the starter, "until I say different." Translation: Until he starts to really suck and then we'll go back to square one.
• Chicago Bears QB Mitch Trubisky is actually quite good. Take it from me. Trubisky is on pace to break franchise records for both passing yards and touchdowns (currently anyway).
• To what should be no one's surprise, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell will miss this season after not reporting and we finally don't have to talk about him anymore every single week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -throws confetti-
• Aside from somehow still employing Marvin Lewis, the Cincinnati Bengals brought in former Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson as an assistant to the head coach. No idea what he'll be doing, and does it really matter? I like to think his job is to pay Marvin's dry cleaning bills and get him Starbucks.
• New York Jets S Jamal Adams has been talking shit about his team all season and he may as well continue. "“I could sit here and sugarcoat everything, but things haven’t changed. Obviously we’re still losing. I’m not saying we have guys like that in locker room, but at same time it’s not changing. It hasn’t changed. We’ve been losing. At the end of the day we’re going to get it fixed. Soon sun will shine.”
• Interim Browns coach Gregg Williams gave the team some extra rest time this week after their big win last weekend. Twenty-something years wasn't enough rest, I guess.
• After having so much shit talked about him for weeks, New York Giants QB Eli Manning is happy to get a break from all of it. "It doesn’t bother me what people say, but just having to answer questions about it, I guess. You want to go out there and play football and that’s what I want to do. I want to be with my team and prepare and practice and go play football and obviously, get wins and feel good about what we’re doing.”
• Minnesota Vikings WR ​Stefon Diggs missed last week's game with a rib injury, but insists he'll be back this week. "I know I will play." Ok then
• The New Orleans Saints signed WR Brandon Marshall this weekend, and head coach Sean Payton had some choice words to say about it. He said "size was important" when determining a fit with his offense, and I couldn't have said it better myself.
