  1. Past hour
  2. Russel Wilson? (*shudders)
  3. Spencer definitely wouldn’t be in the NFL if it weren’t for all that beef his Dad was sending him during college, among all the other ways his parents raised him the right way.
  4. There is zero chance Saskatoon has a team in a merger scenario. Ditto Hamilton. Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Calgary are all borderline. All of them have metro areas roughly the size of Providence or Milwaukee or less. Vancouver and Toronto would be locks. Montreal would have to be considered iffy just from their history with American sports leagues and public stadium support. The issue for the borderline cities would be that the NFL would demand new stadiums in each one and the ones in Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Calgary would need to be domes. The Grey Cup is in late November, the NFL runs into January. No shot the NFL is intentionally going into those markets to play outside in December and January. Are the local and provincial governments ready to kick in 2-3 billion CAD each? Is there a potential owner in any of those places who would be willing to go it alone AFTER paying what will certainly be an exorbitant expansion fee (easily into the multiple billions - each). The cheapest NFL team is about 4 billion dollars according to recent valuations. Why would the league sell anybody a franchise for less than that? They wouldn't. So 4 billion is a minimum, 5 is more likely, plus the stadium on top of it. 25 years ago the Texans cost 700 million in expansion fees when the average team was worth 380 million. Today, the average team is worth 5.5 billion dollars. Using the same ratio the league applied in 1999, an expansion team would cost 10.2 billion dollars today. That money would all be split 32 ways. For ONE expansion team. That works out to 318ish million per owner, per expansion team. I also don't see the owners giving out a Groupon discount just because they would be admitting several teams at once. Either pay or piss off. Furthermore, why would the NFL go into those smaller media markets while leaving Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, San Antonio, Austin, Orlando, San Diego, Portland, Saint Louis and others on the table? It makes no sense. The NFL would rather bankrupt the CFL, take Toronto and Vancouver then add two more teams, one in Mexico City and one someplace in Texas, either San Antonio or Austin. Jerry will squawk, but will be sated by the 1.275 billion coming to him in fees.
  5. No. You do not have a right to your job. Which is a DNC shill. Me me me me me me. Like every other leftist. It wasn’t about speech or you making light of an assassination. It was ABC using you to distract from the memorial because ABC Disney is ***t. And even if authentic in their suspension of your talentless ***, it was because you said the shooter was one of the MAGA GANG. Mocked them and Trump. All within a week of the assassination.
  6. Benford has not looked as good this year as in 2024. The speculation is that's because the Bills have played a lot more man coverage this season thus far. Mayve Hairston can take some reps when the Bills are in man coverage.
  7. Daboll is done in NY. Their season is over. Rookie QB isn't going to save his job. This is a development season at this point. Getting rid of Daniel Jones AND Saquon Barkley. Man, he's done in the NFL.
  8. If you think it was hard enough pre-Josh getting star players to play for Buffalo because of the weather and lack of nightlife, just try selling them on Winnipeg (-58 °F during cold snaps in the winter) or Saskatchewan. Nothing else is like living it up like Saskatchewan on the weekend.
  9. Chiefs looked mad weak vs. Giants last Sunday. Giants, as bad as they are, kept the majority of the game close and tight. Chiefs, in a desperate must win, looked bad. We know that the story is different when playoffs come. These are bad early signs for Kansas City. I see Chiefs losing to Ravens. Because Ravens really wants to make a statement. Anticipate a high scoring game.
  10. It's often said that farmers are the backbone of America, and there's something to that. In this country it wasn't until the 1920s that more people lived in urban areas than rural areas... before the 20s, most Americans were farmers. It wasn't until the 1960s that more Americans were white collar workers than blue collar workers. Our world is changing rapidly but there was a time not that long ago that most Americans were humble, hard-working, resourceful, and self-reliant people.
  11. Annnnnnnnnd not even close. A monologue meant to unify people around his job. Fake selective support of free speech. All about me.
  12. It means I'll be teaching the adult Sunday School class. Our regular teacher takes photos at the game for USA Today. When the game is a 1 PM, he has to leave for Highmark too early to stay for Sunday School.
  13. Roundy made me click on the link, I knew it was spin, but... But I also found out that an average of 150 deaths per 100k occur in jails/prisons across the US. ----So ICE actually has a 3X better rate than normal, at 40/100k. ICE saving lives!
