Better yet, grab a PSL when the Bills cut the price in half - or when someone sells it on the resale market for penny's on the dollar.why pay half a PSL? You know I'll be buying that ticket on Stubhub...

Just looked it up and.... The UFL game in St. Louis last night had a record-setting attendance of 40,317 fans at The Dome at America’s Center. This was a significant event as it set a new record for a modern spring football league game1.
That’s nearly as many watching anywhere at home…16 minutes ago, LeGOATski said:Wow, that is much higher than I expected. But St Louis really wants a football team again, I guess.
Reuben Foster is a monster in this league. He's 30 years old and I imagine he gets one final NFL contract as a backup.
lol Foster is riding toward the sunset, not the NFL.
the most impressive feature is how many 1st round picks are in this league. That and the coaches are usually guys who somehow got way past retirement age with no money in the bank

Just snag a ticket on the secondary market. you'll never be "priced out"...

That’s terrible timing for him, and you have to hope that is a very isolated incident. It’s always dumb, but right now???
EDIT: I worked with a guy who went to UGA and went back to Athens, GA to be in his buddies wedding. The groom got a DUI going 2-3 blocks from the reception to the hotel. That would be another example of bad timing!

Obviously you have to do a deep dive into the person and make sure it is in fact just one mistake, not part of a larger pattern.
Who knows, maybe he even drops all the way to day three. He isn't an elite prospect. Some teams might drop him off their board entirely and decide the risk isn't worth the player. I personally would not go that far unless I uncovered a pattern of behavior.
There is zero reason to believe this kid got busted the only time he's ever driven drunk.....

With a couple of quick Google searches, it seems that those guys knew the law very well. The possession charge is a class B misdemeanor as is leaving the scene of an accident. Both of those carry small fines and up to 180 days in the county jail. In Rice's favor, I did see that Dallas County has not been prosecuting low-level weed possession cases in recent years. A DUI accident with injuries, OTOH, is a third-degree felony that comes with 2-10 years in prison. The reckless driving is also a class B misdemeanor unless the other party is injured or they can prove that there was racing involved. All told, leaving the scene was a heartless but probably wise move in this case. He's still in a lot of trouble because there where injuries and it's pretty clear that they were racing. All that said, IANAL but I am an academic librarian so I'm pretty good at looking stuff up.
In Texas, leaving the scene of an accident where others are injured isn a felony.

2) If we are going to start caring about pot and enforcing anti-pot policies among ALL NFL PLAYERS, there will not be anyone left to play football.
Abandoning an accident scene with injured people who were receiving medical care is a serious offense.
The pot thing is not worth discussing.
in then context of DUI, it's obviously worth discussing.

I don't think they need to change anything. Keep it like pro football because that's what it is. It's not the arena league. Combined, this is the 3rd season for the USFL and 2nd for XFL. That's better than previous spring leagues, so they're figuring it out. They seem to have no trouble getting sponsors, the talent pool is better, and the game quality is better.
Not quite. Neither league could stand on it's own and folded (as they all do). UFL will suffer the same fate when the networks lose money televising these games to no one watching. How long can you produce live football games given their massive costs when you are drawing fewer than "Lost U Boats of WW2" (History) and "Rose De Guadalupe" (Univision)?

I think Bass' issues may stem from Martin as a holder. I think it's one of the reason they brought Haack back.
why is it whenever this guy goes in the tank, people blame his holder?
where is the evidence that Martin was Bass's problem?

Ok,. I'll bite. Zach Eedy is listed as 7' 4" and 300 lbs and probably weights a little more. Maybe not quite the BMI of a typical NFL interior lineman but how is Eedy a beanpole?
Chet Holmgren is listed as 7' 1" and 209 lbs, Victor Wembanyama is 7'4" and 210 lbs. Those guys are beanpoles.

I'm going to save you guys a little future embarrassment and let you know why there is zero chance of this happening.
Mitch Trubisky signed a 2-year contract with the Bills and a lot of it is guaranteed, which means he's the backup.
That means whoever you draft is going to be on the practice squad... until they inevitably get stolen off the practice squad by another team.
Thus, it would be a wasted pick. This example happened with Jake Fromm. Remember?
We drafted him in the 5th. He went to the practice squad. He got stolen by the Giants. Zero compensation. All they had to do was give him a roster spot.
So... unless you expect us to carry 3 QB's on the active roster (which never happens) or expect Joe Milton to take Mitch's job before the season starts and have us take a huge loss on a guaranteed contract to Mitch, there is no reason to do this.
You're welcome.
you lost me at Fromm was “stolen” by the Giants… -
I can’t even begin to imagine the relief Josh Allen is feeling right now.

Didn't see the whole game, but saw the last drive. Pretty nice finish
Been saying it for years now, but they have to change the rules for the UFL. I'd eliminate running completely and maybe even punts. Each team gets 4 downs, if they don't get a first, ball goes to the other team. They have to do something to make these games entertaining. At the very least, shorten the quarters. You can't expect these games to be anywhere near nfl level, yet they play with almost all the same rules.
the only reason someone might at least start to watch is because it’s football, something every viewer is intensely familiar with already.You’re describing a game that bears no resemblance to football..so why would MORE people watch than do now? D list players doing passing drill scrimmages sounds awful

What is your proof to assert that the “Jets are loaded”? How many championships has their roster, coach, or FO, produced? How many playoff appearances? How many wins? It’s just hype until they prove otherwise.
I said they seem loaded on paper. Everything else in your response is immaterial -

Dorsey is credited with developing Newton into a better passer. He also was fairly well known for working privately with QBs.
Russ Brandon was laser focused on the bottom line. The Bills never paid top dollar for coaches, but under Brandon (2006-2018), the budgets Brandon allowed for the coaches wasn't nearly enough to bring in good position coaches, especially on offense where good offensive assistants are expensive. After 2018, the Bills kept OC Daboll and fired all the other offensive coaches. Allen's first QB coach had a single year of coaching college QBs about 20 years earlier. He had no experience working with NFL QBs.
I don't know if Williams' signing made a huge jump in attendance but it certainly excited the fan base for a while. When Brandon signed Owens in 2009, Bills fans were angry over the Bills giving Jauron an extension after the team's collapse the previous season. The Bills sold a record number of season tix for the 2009 season, more than 56k IIRC.
What "top dollar" coaching staff has Beane/Pegula laid out for? Who are the top dollar position coaches the current "budget" allows for? How many top dollar offensive assistants have the Bills churned through since 2017? The good ones are expensive you know...
There was no meaningful bump in attendance with Williams. The TO signing was reasonable (you would do well to review all of Beane's FA WR signings over the years).
Did Dorsey get the "credit" for Newton turning back into a crappy passer in 2016, 17? Or did his QB coaching magic wear off after 2015?

The media drummed up his diva status and helped drive him out of town... There's been nothing but smear pieces about him for the last 2 years
The national media and pundits drove him out of Buffalo by highlighting this narrative day in and day out for 2 years
Do you really believe fans and reporters can "run a player out of town"? No one really believes that, but they like to pretend it's true for some reason.
In reality, he's gone because, as it turns out, he didn't come to play hard every day. His coaching stuff knows infinitely more than you or any fan or "national media" bogeymen do about what it was like to coach, direct, pay and otherwise employ Stef Diggs. And those people decided it was worth millions of dollars to pay him to play for someone else.
That tells all you need to know about what and who "ran him out of town".

It’s amazing to me how much love the Jets consistently get despite having just 1 winning season over the last 13 years and none for the last 8. Maybe we should wait until they make the playoffs for once before they are anointed champions.

Why do you get a pass on doing "all kinds of research"? I did "all kinds of research" for the facts I presented. Back up your claims with facts, and maybe your opinions will get more respect.
FTR, Doug Whaley would have drafted Mahomes but he lost the power struggle that occurred after the Bills hired McDermott, and didn't have control of the 2017 draft. He was fired a day or two after that draft. Unfortunately, Mahomes or Allen, neither would have become the QB he is today because the Bills under Russ Brandon put the emphasis on putting butts in the seats rather than winning football games. They had bottom feeder coaches because they wouldn't pay top money to coaches. Allen's first QB coach was a guy who had no real experience developing a QB. After Brandon was fired and Beane promoted, the Bills hired Ken Dorsey to develop Allen.
Mario Williams was signed for the same reason that Terrell Owens was signed in 2009: to put butts in the seats when fans were souring after more losing seasons.
Who did Dorsey "develop" before Allen? Former OROY and already 2 time Pro Bowler Cam Newton?
Which of the Bills current coaching staff IS getting paid "top money"? (hint: McD isn't in the top 10).
What was the big attendance bump with Mario Williams? TO?
You have some research to do...

No team wins with a lousy O-line. Having a bad Oline and a statute at QB is a recipe for disaster. Their defense was elite last season and should be again this year.

Poyer was betrayed by an unappreciative fanbase who attacked his personal opinions, his charities, and his family. Then he took less money to fight through injuries to play the best statistical years of his career. But now that same fanbase calls him a traitor for going somewhere he's wanted and his personal opinions actually align with the city.
Morse took paycuts and played through injuries.
where/when did he :"take less money" than he could have gotten?
