What is the over/under when this thread gets locked?

I’m sure you know that Josh isn’t from Wyoming. He’s from central California. And trust me when I say these two particular newly weds are not sweating over the price of real estate. 😉

What this actually means is Philadelphia and Denver have more PFF subscribers than Buffalo.

Is this a joke? 🤷‍♂️

I think that the perception of resellers is a little misunderstood. In the 90’s there were guys outside with signs trying to sling tickets. Over the last 20 years it has changed dramatically. The teams partner with large, national, professional resellers to create another avenue of distribution. The Bills (and pretty much every team), have some partners that own large chunks of season tickets with only the intent of resale. When I worked in sports, we were one of the first teams to embrace it. Roughly 10% of our season tickets were to resellers. I don’t think it’s quite that high here because of the size of an NFL stadium but I think it’s reasonable that 5k or so belong to resellers. Maybe they gave a deal like 100 PSLs for the price of 75? Resellers want to buy low rows, seats on the low end of a price break, close to midfield, etc… Teams will usually allocate some of that prime real estate to them in exchange for offloading the toughest to move inventory (upper corners, etc). It used to be an adversarial relationship 20 years ago or so but that’s changed. It makes WAY more business sense, for both sides, to embrace it (at least to a degree depending on demand). These resellers keep you stable during a down swing in demand and in exchange you reward them when the demand is high. With all of the websites out there now, offering protection, it has changed the game. There are still some antiquated feelings on the secondary market but it’s not going away.

Yes, I do but the Commanders made this announcement not me. The jerseys and pants are from the Redskins days. They should bring back the logo, but we know why they won't.

Do you see how that makes zero sense?

We can all kid but it’s really interesting to see the route taken to assemble this O Line. For example, both of our starting Tackles came out of small schools and Dawkins was listed as a Guard. (Something I’d forgotten.)

Agreed. I'm not seeing it. Looks like false advertising to me. Might even fall under the category of Bait-and-switch.

They're replacing the fluoride in the water with moonshine.

The Redskins look without the logo on the helmet.

Roundy approves. #verypleased

Could you imagine how many DUI's cops could get if they waited outside the stadium after a football game. Think of all the fans leaving a Bills game. They may not be completely bombed but legally there are probably thousands that are over the limit when they leave the stadium

Just go back to the old name and logo.

Agreed. I still think his contract is too high for the production given, but he is very integral to the offense.

Either way wishing you all the best in your desires to be “very pleased”. It won’t be long now.

The Commanders dont have Super Bowl era uniforms so I am not sure how they are going to do that.

He lowered IQ and physical standards. He made hiring based on DEI a priority: Let us begin plainly. Chief Joel Baker was not hired because he was the best firefighter. He was hired because Austin, reeling from a fire department engulfed in scandal, needed a symbol. In the year prior to his 2018 appointment, the Austin Fire Department was under state, local, and federal investigation for alleged violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, including claims of both racial and sexual discrimination and harassment. Multiple lawsuits and sharp criticism from across the political spectrum made one thing clear: the city needed an identity hire to stem the bleeding. Baker, a black man with leadership experience, fit the profile. Since taking the post in December 2018, Baker has made it his mission to recruit based on race, sex, and sexual identity. He has said so proudly and publicly. Programs like "Pass the Torch," which deliberately prioritize nonwhite, nonmale, and nonheterosexual applicants, are the centerpiece of his administration. The result? A fire department that is more diverse, but less competent. The traditional qualifications for a firefighter, strength, stamina, intelligence, rapid decision-making under pressure, have not changed. But the standards have. In response to the predictable failure of his preferred demographics to meet existing thresholds, Baker simply changed the thresholds. He launched investigations into why minority applicants were underperforming. The answer was as predictable as the question: the tests were too hard. So Baker made them easier. Lowered the IQ bar. Softened physical expectations. All to ensure that more boxes could be checked on quarterly DEI reports. The irony is brutal. The very teams Chief Baker refused to deploy, the Swift Water rescue units, are disproportionately composed of white men. They represent the last meritocratic redoubt within the Austin Fire Department. Many have years of experience and have saved hundreds of lives. But Baker did not build them. He has not promoted them. In fact, he has worked to marginalize them in favor of his DEI vision. So when Governor Abbott issued the request for pre-deployment on July 2nd and 3rd, before the floodwaters peaked, Baker balked. But the story is larger than one man’s failure. It is about the machinery that elevated him in the first place, a bureaucracy more concerned with appearances than outcomes. DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, sounds benign. In practice, it has become a license to discriminate against the competent and elevate the compliant. Consider the broader pattern. In 2021, local media reported that nearly 75% of cadet interest cards came from "diversity targets," a term that flattens human individuality into demographic quotas. African American interest increased 10%, Hispanic interest 21%, while traditional candidate pools shrank. Recruitment staff, under Baker’s orders, reoriented outreach toward these demographics, often to the exclusion of others. Qualified white male applicants were not merely overlooked; they were openly discouraged. Promotion boards began emphasizing identity over service record.

Much support for the Bishop here! Proud to be a Catholic. Who knows if they’re even agents? They won’t identify themselves as police (illegally I might add), so they could just be any random abductors.

Thank you for considering my feelings but you are misreading the situation. I think we can attribute that to your recent emotional state. Since you seem confused here’s what I was referring to - you told someone they are not smart and immediately followed it up with a grammatical error. An innocent mistake but fun and Tiberius-like nevertheless.

No one cares what a failed cartoonist has to say

Haha, your avatar checks out! Today is my wife's birthday and the anniversary of their last show ever...oh wow, 30 years right?!

Very cool and normal stuff, Elon!
