I lived in NYC for a number of years of years, also spent summers and then lived for a few years in the Hamptons. New Yorkers have a right to love that City, it is a microcosm of who we are. The Borough of Queens is the most diverse place on the planet. When I first moved to NYC a Cab driver asked me how long I’d been in New York, I told him a few months, he said “when you’ve lived here for six months you’re a New Yorker, welcome to The City, good luck.” Today especially, fandom aside, let’s show some love and respect.

🎵 "I wanna know... have they ever been a rival... comin' down Sun-day..." 🎵 Bebebe Benny and the Jets!

Benny And The Jets?

And I don’t think it’s going to be even that close. Jets make it look closer in garbage time.

Yes, that is correct, but which entertainment show?

Yes, porn and guns, “ Who could ask for anything more?”.

Wasn’t Jordan Phillips considered a bust in Miami? He became a decent rotational guy for the Bills and salvaged his career. Maybe this guy can do the same.

What in tarnation is going on today? In the Offensive Player of the Week thread, there is a reference to “Annie Get Your Gun” and now this, 1956 musical, “The King and I”.

Nice try

This place never ceases to amaze me. An obscure reference to a song from the 1946 musical, “Annie Get Your Gun”. Can anyone connect the dots here? Who was Annie and what made her famous?

After further review, “The Legion of Room” is the clear winner.

Whoever you are please don’t ever stop doing this.

Somebody named their restaurant Adolfs?

There is stuff to do on Ohio? Sorry can’t help myself.

Sadly I think he was washed a year ago.

Since I don’t believe we will punt again, I’m guessing Cameron is good at ball holding.

In case any of you were wondering these two elderly gentleman are referencing a song by The Coasters from 1956.

When Knox goes in motion, Ravens show man. Josh knows exactly where he is going. That pass was perfect and it had to be.

Very Likely

I’m sorry, what? I wasn’t paying attention. I think the problem is people don’t read.

As soon as my wife left the room to go get ready for bed, the game turned. When the Bills were down 8 I told her she should come back. She declined, saying they were doing better without her watching. When Bills were down 2, again I told her to comeback, again she declined for the same reason. I think you should all send your appreciation with a small cash gift.

Not personal, I don’t know the man. I don’t prejudge people I don’t know. Based on the facts, which briefly are that a young man with great athletic ability, will earn at least a quarter of a billion dollars and create a legacy for his family. Stupid people don’t have that success. Now get in your last word.

But you know this? He saved between $3m-$8m by not having an agent. I live a couple of miles from where Jackson played high school football, I’ve paid attention to his trajectory for years. These are not stupid people. He and his mother made sure he was going to be a QB, they moved to make that happen in high school. They changed his college commitment from Florida to Louisville, because Petrino guaranteed he would play QB. He won the Heisman as a sophomore. At the NFL combine he refused to try out as a WR. He gets drafted in the first round, negotiates his own contract using an attorney, because rookie contracts are slotted, no need to waste money on an agent. He becomes one of the NFLs premier QBs, wins MVP twice, gets Ravens in the playoffs six times. Negotiates a $260m contract and somehow you have reached the conclusion that he is stupid.

They paid a lawyer to do that, the lawyer gets paid a fee, not a percentage of the contract. A contract attorney would have access to other players contracts.

Per the Washington Post, agents will receive between 1.5 percent and up to 3 percent, which is the maximum for contracts. For Jackson, that means he could have lost up to $7.8 million to an agent, if he were to lose 3 percent of the full $260 million. He also could have lost a minimum of $2,775,000, had he lost 1.5 percent of the $185 million.
