It’s not a bad way to live if you can afford it….and even if you can’t. Having it “catch up” at 78? I could live with that.

If there’s no beer, it just might be the other place!

Ultimately, my gripe with it comes down to the fact the league can’t follow the “ain’t broke, don’t fix it” when it tinkers with its rules, I think. I don’t really care about increasing the likelihood of an onside kick working as an individual play at the end of a game… it was a low percentage play before the rule changes, and it’s a low percentage play now. And having to declare it doesn’t change the end of the game, everyone knows when a team has no choice but to do it. However, it changes the strategy in a game like the Bills-Detroit game last season. Campbell, with a banged up defense that couldn’t stop a toddler, was right to go for one when he did to try to steal a possession, and in 2023 it may have worked. And if he was able to do it to open the second half, he probably would have. In 2024 there’s almost no chance of it working. I dislike the impact of that rule change on those situations, and I feel like keeping it as part of the game as it is is kind of pointless, especially if the league cares about player safety as they claim to, which we know they don’t. I agree about the current kickoff rules. It gives a very minor league feel to the whole thing. It’s like the NHL ending a game with a shootout… all these seasons later it still leaves me flat and unsatisfied.

I have a collection of bills hats that hangs on the wall in our bedroom. There’s probably 30 of them and then there’s a bunch of other ones in the drawer. Yes I need a therapist

That’s a lot of emotion over someone you think is a sad clown. Hope you feel better soon.

Wow, impressive mental gymnastics. You “debunked” nothing - you just threw out 2020 like it’s a Get Out of Jail Free card. That’s not an argument, it’s just deflection. If your best defense is “well the other side did bad stuff too,” then congrats - you’ve conceded your side’s a dumpster fire and have no defense for a guy who tried to overturn an election, spews Hitler phrases, calls journalists the “enemy of the people,” dines with Nazis, praises neo-Nazis and demands political loyalty from the DOJ, and floats jailing celebrities and members of the media who mock him. And Trump’s so-called “toughness”? Please. Putin plays him like a kazoo. Xi sees right through him. Kim Jong-un handed him a fake peace summit and got everything he wanted for free. The guy talks tough to reporters and then folds like a lawn chair in front of actual world leaders. No spine. No strategy. Just noise. Look at all his "trade deals" that don't exist - he collapses as he watches the markets tank and the bond markets revolt - and you talk about WACKY policies. You want to talk about “lowering standards”? Just look at his Cabinet - less a team of qualified experts, more like a junk drawer full of Fox News rejects, grifters, and failed radio hosts. It’s not a government; it’s a fan club with security clearances. He didn’t drain the swamp; he gave it a studio audience. No moral high ground? BS - I’m not the one trying to build a throne out of quicksand and denial.

Why have a rule at all about when you can do an offside kick? With the present percentages, no team in the lead will ever do it, and even teams trailing would not do it until late in the 4th quarter.

They wanted something to happen. I don't think they wanted/expected people to break into the Capitol, but they wanted unrest outside and/or a false flag narrative. Hence under-manning the CP, throwing flash bangs, probably many agitators in the crowd and sending Harris for no reason at all to the DNC HQ where "bombs" were somehow missed by the FBI.

Would they ever fight this hard for poor people who wanted to get into that place? lol

I assume you're referring to Stat Boy I remember watching PTI when he was just stat boy. Its kind of an amazing story how they called him to fill in at ATH the day after the SB since every other 'big name' at the network was off covering the SB - and he did so well he just kept the gig. Reali is known for as being extremely positive and generous on and off the air and think he is a genuinely good dude. I give him credit for purposely turning the show from just a yelling match when Kellerman started to something a bit more structured and even thoughtful at times. Not sure why some people get so bent about the scoring thing - there really wasn't any specific system - just him going by feel - was just a device to add more entertainment (what if friends were debating sports at a bar and someone was sitting there scoring them on who was making the best points). Last few days I've watched all his interviews as he made the rounds. Even if I didn't watch it religiously lately it was to me still a fun distraction when I did (esp day after some major sports story). It's sad to see something that was part of your life for decades go away (for no apparent good reason - was still one of the highest rated shows on the network). I wish Reali well - he seems to have moved past acceptance phase and already is making moves to move forward with other projects/platforms.

The original host of PTI was Max Kellerman. Then there was a contract dispute, IIRC, and Tony Reali, who had been a fill-in host, became the regular host. Kellerman is obnoxious, but good at boxing commentary if you're into that sport.

Even during the Tuh-ROD era???

Stat boy? I always like the show. You just had to know the scoring was meaningless and just listen to the opinions of the different writers.

Stat boy! He was on the last few minutes of PTI telling the audience who erred during the show. I for one will miss the show. It was a heck of lot better than listening to Stephen A or the other idiots on ESPN. My wife actually watched the show so I think they forgot about the demographics there. How many other sports talk shows could bring females to the tv?

Stat boy; he started out as a fact checker for PTI and they would have him on at the end to correct their mistakes.

This is going to be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong offseason!

sounds kinda Belicheck Bradesque doesn't it....lol

Nah, you got your sound bites wrong; that was Rex Ryan, if I recall correctly.

well, every new stadium is enclosed or has a pavilion roof now even in perfect weather sites, so yes you are 100% absolutely correct. the NFLworld moves on and WNY stays stuck in the mud. Wash, Cleveland, JAX, and Chicago, all proposing domes now. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

You know guys I think this Trent Edwards fella might be the answer at QB. Heck even BILL WALSH endorses him ..

I think it was like “Whose Line is it Anyway”. The points didn’t really matter and were given out somewhat arbitrarily. It was just a device to give the show some structure and move along to some conclusion.

I'm not surprised, because I swear, I remember reading an article before they even started construction, that said the stadium would be open for the 2026 season, but not 100% completed until early 2027.
