Mr. WEO

Nagy (who is 45 years old) is the Chief's OC. He's not going to the UFL to burnish his resume....

Institutionally supported football leagues have succeeded...

If there was any evidence that this was at all common in the long history of these leagues, then yeah, maybe. But it's not. The reality we all know is that hardly any one watches these games and at some point the broadcasters don't want to eat the losses incurred by producing them and the plug gets pulled. Until that inevitability, every NFL team is free to sign a guy from one of these leagues. It's so rare that they do--this means that the NFL has already done this math and they know there is little value in supporting those rosters for the very rare "call-up". Also, the NFL draft is a month after the UFL season starts.

The NBA is far more like the NFL than MLB or NHL--nearly all of their players are from the NCAA via the draft. The difference is that a lot of the G league guys were actually drafted then sent to the G. This has been mentioned over and over--the NCAA is the NFL's minor league and it always will be. A handful of guys moving from one of these always doomed leagues to the NFL not withstanding... The reason is simple--that's where the best players are. Guys who couldn't make or stay on an NFL roster are the ones who play for these leagues. Have you seen the list of HC's in these leagues? These aren't developmental prospects. They are burnt out former NFL and NCAA guys, as well as random players . The "new" UFL features Wade Philips, Bob Stoops, Anthony Becht (from the Home Shopping Network!!) lol. I get that if you are really jonesing for any football at all once the NFL is done for the year, this is certainly something to put on your TV in the background while you do other stuff. Hard to imagine spending one week after another in front of the tube watching this stuff after 2 or 3 weeks.

Teams are rarely sold. How would an investor group cash out? If they sold their limited partnership share to someone else, how does each subsequent fractional institutional fractional owner reap their reward? I guess these portions of the ownership of a team can trade endlessly on speculation. But the reality is that the team will likely not be sold for decades.

he's only 17. I'm not worried..

Injuries, you say? Hmmm...let me consider this

The Taylor Swift Ratings Bump turned out to be only 7% over last year's SB. poof....

without a top receiver...

agreed. this thread plows no new ground...

This is pro football. Both teams are guaranteed a possession in the playoffs---this has made the coin toss less important. If you lose the toss and the other team takes the ball first, stop them from scoring, or at least stop a TD. If both teams score a TD or a FG, then the game continues. College is a joke--look no further than Penn State/Illinois a few years ago--endless 2 point conversions form the 25 after the third OT. People will whine about anything.

you said the opposite: a rural state like WV has a lower crime rate, not same levels. I was responding to your post

Because it's so rural. Hardly anyone lives there---it's largest metropolis is home to 47,000 people.

What’s next—Some hockey with Gretzky? Is Tiger not old enough for the Senior Tour yet??

not true. The American Red Cross dumped Heinrich and the term after he paid for shady research to discredit alternative method (back blows) of dislodging food in the trachea. Heimlichs own son admitted this. In fact the family would like nothing more than for the Red Cross to ONLY teach the Heimlich Maneuver in basic lifesaving courses

As long as McD keeps naming coordinators that get the job because they already are his underlings, not because of a history of proven success, this is what the result will be. He wants guys who are simply happy to be there. He wants to hear "yes Chef"....and that's it.

another solution in search of a problem. it's fine--each teams offense and defense gets a shot to end it. both teams had 4 Q's to settle it: now that it's OT, step up or step out.

As has been pointed out, you're basing your thread on one guy ever--and he was uniquely dedicated to his longevity. Rodgers isn't even 40--he's suddenly going to dedicate his routine to be able to play 5 more years? Why?

Andy Reid?

He's a little older than Poyer, but...

they don't invite you out of the stands to come down and play the Super Bowl...

he killed Kaepernick's career twice though...and unwittingly launched a worldwide movement!

Apparently, the principles didn't involve the NFL... https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/top-nfl-execs-reportedly-furious-174721722.html

Anyone seen that original Top Gun movie yet?

he just named the guy he’s going to fire after next season.
