  1. is "pizza" all sports? just football? just pro football? just NFL branded pro football? One large corporation does not own football teams. They are actually called "franchises"--like, say a national pizza chain has franchisees. Is there a local pizza brand affiliate that has an agreement with the national company where the local affiliate has to provide free pizza every Sunday/sometimes Monday night and Thursday too? Do they also force free local pizza eaters to buy their special menu pizza package to get even MORE pizza? no. they do not. this is a failure of comparison on every level.
  2. this should make returns even more futile. wasn't the average last night short of the 25? just take touchback to the 30..
  3. that's not how it works. he was their top pick and 32nd overall. that's how he will be judged. and if Worthy has a much more productive year, Keon will face that comparison as well
  4. It doesn't matter if the two football leagues play at different times--or how many viewers watch.. you can only drive one car at a time, though there are other competing brands to the one that you bought or rented. Both leagues compete for your pro football devoted discretionary income. Revenue sharing isn't off-topic, it destroys your argument. "Government restrictions" would end the NFL as we know it. The league became wildly successful because of revenue sharing. Why pretend otherwise? Also, what "power" did the NFL viewing public lose to the NFL? What are the damages? Fans decided to pay more for more NFL content that they didn't need in order to still get a lot of NFL football in their homes. I've never gotten the ticket because I don't need what it offers. If I change my mind, I will pay extra for extra service. How is the NFL acting like a monopoly by selling this product? Aren't the Yankees acting as a monopoly by owning the broadcast rights to its own games (and the Brooklyn Nets) on its own network that fans have to pay for? Also right in town, MSG is the broadcaster of Knicks, Rangers, Sabres, Devils, Islanders....better pony up if you want to watch those teams. Conversely, the NFL is available on several broadcast networks for free, as well as cable and streamers and Sunday ticket. Many ways to watch. How is that a monopoly?
  5. The NFL enjoys legal exemption from most anti-trust rules. Plus, with the "success" of the UFL, there is no monopoly on pro football. Have you or anyone calling out the NFL over how they make money considered if, as in MLB, teams have their own networks to broadcast their games? Well, this is easy....with no network/streaming contracts league wide, there is no broadcast rights revenue sharing. No revenue sharing, no Buffalo Bills--relatively few would pay for a "Bills Network" cable or streaming network. Don't like getting most games on network TV or some cheap cable or streamer? Go buy the Sunday Ticket. Think it's too expensive for what you get? Don't buy it. This is the strangest case ever. Who, as a class, was harmed by agreeing to pay the asking price for a product they had already judged worth what they paid? Who, other than the NFL, would be selling NFL Sunday Ticket? How were these consumers mislead?
  6. Ralph Wilson isn't walking through that league office door any time soon...
  7. Josh spent half the time in a school at a middling conference. Milton was getting trained at Michigan and Tenn. He's still not ready.
  8. because this is when the NFL filed a post trial motion that the plaintiffs did not prove their case.
  9. why should any of those be true? The judge clearly stares where the jury went awry of his instructions.
  10. we gotta decide which of these guys gets signed 2 years from now?
  11. true, but 6 years is a lot of time spent in top programs learning the game and putting those tools to use. the sum of all that was pretty bad football...
  12. McD kept Peterman away form the starters in preseason games because he had already decided he wouldn't start Josh week 1 and he didn't want everyone to see how bad Peterman is. McClappy figured this out by halftime...
  13. so could Kyle Boler (70 yards). Milton was an awful QB last year. Look out? The guy was a college QB for 6 years. 5300 yards, 37 TDs.
  14. $11 million is almost half the entire league player salary total lol... Spring football league owners fleecing sponsors in their inaugural season? who would have thought??
  15. sometimes I challenge bad takes
  16. he had no character issues, so it reflects negatively on them, that and resigning Daniel Jones, etc
  17. Neither am I, but i can read pretty good. If you had even a cursory familiarity with the reaction to his death, you wouldn't have confusedly posted what you did: “I am absolutely crushed by this news. Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him. In our short time together, it was evident Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him. I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree’s family, friends, teammates and coaches.” – Head Coach Kevin O’Connell “I am heartbroken by the loss of Khyree. As we got to know him throughout the pre-draft process, it was clear the goals Khyree wanted to accomplish both professionally and personally. His story was one of resilience. He was taking steps to become the best version of himself not just for him, but for those who cared about and looked up to him. Khyree’s personality captured every room he was in. I’m devastated that his life and everything he had in front of him has been cut short. My thoughts are with Khyree’s family and friends, those who played with and coached him in college, and his teammates and coaches here at the Vikings.” – General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah No character issues noted. In fact, by all accounts, this kid was a long shot that willed his way into the 4th round. Daboll and the gang saw all that as "character issues".
  18. what was concerning about his character?
  19. "Josh Allen and co. are as consistently dominant as anyone in the league right now" Is this for real? Chiefs (who have bounced the Bills out of the playoffs 3 of the past 4 years) have been in the SB 4 of the past 5 seasons and won 3.
  20. He was a passenger in a car that was hit by another car driven by a guy who was drinking. Why is that a character concern for him?
  21. yet by all accounts, this kid persevered with his dream to the point where he was drafted by the Vikes. Giants brain trust at work...
  22. Correct. in this case it clearly states "minimum 200 attempts".....
