For the love of god can the regular season get here.

Anyone heard anything on this?

Dont forget the baseball game that kicks off at 12 on Friday also - lots of good cold beer there as well.

I will be in attendance. It will be rainy. I will likely be drunk. That is all.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/24/john-harbaugh-ray-rice-is-a-heck-of-a-guy-who-made-a-mistake/ I wish someone at that news conference had the balls to ask John if he would have felt that way if it was his daughter who was dragged out of that elevator. Continues to be disgusting behavior all around here.

Interesting... the question that I have is who would be the defendant in the suit? Would it be the trust for selling to a party that is prohibited under the lease, or would it be the Toronto group? My understanding is that it would be the trust, from there suit would be filed against Toronto group for looking at moving, no?

Serious question. When did everyone become so down on EJ? I remember leaving the last season thinking... I don't know? But in the interim seemingly the attitude has shifted towards, he sucks and can't play.

Oh, so this doesn't negatively affect how people feel about the game. Gotcha.

http://forums.texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?topic_id=2494121&forum_id=5 In case you want to get a bit wound up... While I agree with your first post - I disagree with this point.. I think the entire reason for the letter is to make as much public outcry regarding this issue as possible. With all of the pub - playing off your initial post, would not be surprised to see some sort of minimum consideration be issued for use of the TM.

I read that Seahawks and Bills pay something like 5k/year to avoid all out lawsuit, which would likely cost significantly more.

Wow - that is a ballsy letter to write. Good for him. In a fair fight, this is a lawsuit that would be a toss-up at best. The term 12th man has become part of the common vernacular that is used on a day to day basis to describe loyal fan bases. However, this is an issue of a School with a 5 billion dollar endowment bullying trying to beat up on someone who cant pay to fight. If this isn't a case of a generic trademark, then I don't know what is.

Correct.

You don't read the news.

Really?

How have we gotten this far into the thread and not talked about what happened last night? Unbelievable. Those that don't get it wont and likely never will. The good news is those people will be left behind as they got older - wondering why/how soccer is becoming more popular. As much as I love football - by far my favorite sport - you will see parents guiding their children into sports where concussions are not as prevalent - and we will see a surge in the quality of American soccer (as we have seen for the last 20 years). For those that love it - enjoy the ride the next few weeks! And for those that say soccer is not catching on the US - here are some random spots in the country where the game was being played last night. http://screamer.deadspin.com/america-reacts-to-game-winner-against-ghana-1591737963/+Sean-Newell

How did we get to a 7 8 page thread over a meeting that never occurred? Edited: LAST!

Seems pretty legit.

So are you saying the diving after the knee rule change had nothing to do with Tom Brady getting hurt for the year? Or are you just saying that all star QB's get treated special... OR are you saying that all QB's are treated the same - sounds like the third option, but want to clarify.

I read this at first and disagreed, but then I realized that I misread, so uh.. I agree. Carry on.

How about a rule change? http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2009/03/24/brady_rule_steps_taken_to_protect_qbs_knees/?page=full

BUST!!!
