Mr. WEO

His narrative of being run into the ground is a bit melodramatic. He averaged 3.7 carries per game. 11 QBs had more than that--Taylor Heinicke was one of them...

As always, Gunner's knowledge of this game puts most of ours to shame. It's heartwarming to know (by such a site) a highly evolved European with a mind that has not been dulled by the monotony and simplicity of.....soccer!! Cheers, good man!

I thought he wanted a big payday.. That got Watson 230 million guaranteed...

wow. guess that wasn't the Mrs in the car with him...

Happy Birthday you LAMP'n MOFO!

It's at 36 cents (+0.3%) above. The company misses every quarterly report and receives notices from NASDAQ for this--these are the only "press releases" on the company's website.. As of December it hadn't made a single acquisition, yet it's expenses are in the millions. SEC last fall said that if they don't make an acquisition by July, the fund will have to liquidate.

Most commercial developers are building a property that will have serial renters. They can charge maximum market rates for a new building and have more than one business to market the space to. Commercial leases are often in the 5 year range. Pegula might be doing well. His investors, not so much. That company is a bit of a sham so far...

3rd thread...NOW IT'S REAL!!!!!!

lol, I'm sure they have their opinion on RB at 25 well before they picked up this guy on a 1 Year Special. But RB certainly possible.

TMZ was simply reporting an actual post by Brown, no?

The Titans clearly believe their RB, not their Tackles, are the key to their running success. This is overwhelmingly likely.

We didn't take their RB...

They ar e going to put him in for run plays only?

Need a guy who can keep Josh unmolested. Can't all give up 11 sacks either.

sounds "sneaky" not so good

thanks. I suspected so but defer to you to confirm that’s likely the case my guess is PSE commissioned the study so it could be dismissed immediately as an option.

about Spring football? Exactly…

I asked how your assessment regarding the cost of an extensive refurbishment (e.g. Arrowhead) as opposed to demolitionof the Ralph/new build differs from that of the firm PSE hired to assess for the same. You didn’t offer one.

I swear I am not trying to confuse you. I’ve made and repeated my point several times, to which you have responded. Not sure where I just lost you, but not sure what to add.

I criticized them for adapting a sure fail format of showing games in the middle of nowhere in front of no one. You called that a smart plan because it saves money. I laughed at that suggestion You said that’s criticizing them for “saving money”. Lol Considering the massive uphill climb each of these leagues have (over and over), pinching pennies on inauguration sounds more like hedging losses than saving money. Do you think potential advertisers are eager to buy ad time for this level of ball played in front of empty stadiums? Do fans at home feel like it’s a legit watch if free tickets won’t even get people to go? simple questions.

I’m no engineer, that’s for sure. Instead, as posted above, I was quoting PSE leadership who was quoting the firm that assessed the current stadium. They said it could be done for the price they mentioned. Why don’t either of you tell us all how your survey of that property came to the opposite conclusion that theirs did.

no this league is doomed anyway. But this decision is going to hasten the end. Empty stadiums in the middle of the Deep South without a penchant for pro football with empty stands in every camera shot 4 games in a row every weekend. the advertisers should be running to the network ad sales offices

This is a bad decision for 2 reasons: 1. if only people in and around Birmingham come to the games, the cities the teams are ostensibly "from" have no real fan base. No reason to follow the team. 2. if the league is depending on people in and around Birmingham filling the stands for every game every week, there will be endless images of nearly empty stadiums on TV for entire games. This will affect the impression of all but the most hopeless football junkie in that fewer people will continue to watch bad football played in front of a noiseless/nonexistent crowd. Ratings have to plummet and who wants to buy ad space for that? This has been proven meaningless during the last (XFL) fiasco. Local ratings aren't going to keep any league afloat. Plus, networks pay for content--lots of programming slots to fill. NBA brings 82 games a year for every team. Plus every team has fans/viewers outside of the home town viewing radius.

Perseveration is often the first sign, doc... Anyway, 7.5 years ago, any issues with the structure were well known when Pegula bought the place. Yet, despite the well documented FACT that it is "about to collapse", it has been deemed safe for use until at least 4 years from now, whenever the new place is finished. Maybe you and boater can position yourselves outside the gates for each home gate until then, warning people against entering the teetering wreck. Anyway, PSE (based on engineers' report) recently said it would cost a billion to renovate the current stadium---if you disagree, take it up with them. However, we can assume it would have been significantly less if planned 7.5 years ago.

when it was feasible would have been some years ago. Your histrionics over impending “collapse” helps you obscure the obvious. Pointing out that it now is beyond repair is meaningless for the purpose of this discussion. Other major remodeling projects didn’t wait so long as 50 years you both know, so you understand.
