That is a crime against humanity...

SOB (Son of Bum)

Yeah, I was at that game around the 30 yard line at the end of the field where the kicks were made. There was an obnoxious Dallas fan near me (is there any other kind?). He kept mouthing off and I remember saying to him after the second kick, "Good luck winning anything with Wade."

Week 2 they will be hosting/honoring Brady. I wonder if they will hand out dildos to the fans in honor of the real life one they will be honoring.

He said "rumored", same as what @boyst has on his spreadsheet upthread. FWIW...

Yeah, somebody really dropped the ball on that one. 😂 @Roger Goodell Care to weigh in on this?

The league gives the teams playing overseas the choice of whether or they want to have their bye week the next week or whether they want it later in the season. I don't think the Bills would want it that early and would have asked for a later date. My guess is that Week 6 will be a home game and the bye will come a few weeks later. JMO

I hope that December date is correct, regardless of the opponent. I don't want a game on Christmas Eve. That is our busiest day with family over the Christmas holiday.

I agree but I hope the Bills are firing the first salvo at what will be the demise of Aaron Rodgers. The first time he doesn't deliver, the NYC media will eat him alive. I don't think he has the personality or thick enough skin to handle that environment and if things go south fast and he and the Jest don't live up to the hyperbole, it will be fun to watch. GO BILLS!!!

There is no question that those Motor City Kitties are going to get tested right out of the gate. They'll be the darlings of the league if they can pull off a road upset of that magnitude on the national stage.

Just Like 'Fireman Ed'... Sadly, the road schedule is much sexier on paper than the home schedule.

@Roger Goodell Care to weigh in on this?

That schedule has them in prime time (night) five times plus early Thanksgiving Day plus two 4:25 PM national windows. That is ridiculous for a team that looks like it is going to be a sh*t show unless Jordan Love turns out to be the real deal. They've been given visibility based on their name and history but the NFL may end up with egg on their face. We'll see. I can definitely see them getting flexed out of their late season national games.

If the below is true, then the Packers would actually play at the Panthers on Christmas Eve not on Christmas Day... Week 16, 12/24: @ Carolina Panthers (Noon - FOX) "The Green Bay Packers’ 2023 schedule has reportedly leaked, according to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman — who had it first. Shortly after Schneidman’s report, it was confirmed by Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber, meaning that you don’t have to wait until 8 PM Eastern for the league’s schedule release show to start planning accordingly for this upcoming season." https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2023/5/11/23719545/2023-nfl-schedule-release-green-bay-packers-full-schedule-prime-time-primetime-leak-report-update

Doesn't surprise me. They were an exciting, high-scoring, 'feel good' team last year but they have been a dormant franchise for decades and have proven nothing yet. I'm sure there are still a lot of skeptics out there and it does seem like an odd match-up to open the season.

Lions hit the big time...

Not too far from Nazareth either.

It's an AI mash-up when you enter 'Dennis Rodman Bulls' and 'Madonna Like a Virgin'...

Thanks for sharing. Great story. Believe it or not, I have never seen a Mets home game. My cousin (originally from Jamestown, NY & went to NYU) and her boyfriend live in Brooklyn. She does not care anything at all about sports but, as a lifelong New Yorker, he is a diehard Met fan. He wants me to come up sometime and see the Mets with him so that is on my bucket list. I made a road trip with my brother and some buddies to Pittsburgh to see the Mets play the Pirates in a weekend series at Three Rivers Stadium way back in 1987. I still have the ticket stubs for those games. I think they cost something like $8. They won one of those games, 5-4, on a Keith Hernandez Grand Slam. Rick Aguilera started and got the win and Roger McDowell saved it. My worst Met memory (in person) was a game against the Orioles at Camden Yards (gorgeous ballpark). I went with a co-worker who was also a Met fan (originally from Port Jefferson, L.I.) and his nephew. I remember telling him before he got the tickets, "I hope Steve Trachsel isn't pitching when we go." I despised Trachsel. He made my skin crawl and always seemed to sh*t the bed when pitching for the Mets. He was a bum when they got him and continued to be a bum as a Met. The only other Met pitcher who even comes close to that disdain for me is Doug Sisk. Well, guess who pitched for the Mets that night? Yep...Trachsel. And guess who lost another game for the Mets? Yep...Trachsel. lol FYI...my coolest memory in Camden Yards (non-Mets related) was seeing Ken Griffey, Jr. hit a Grand Slam. I haven't been to a ton of games but I have been fortunate to witness some Grand Slams by some superstars. The most recent live game I attended was last July in Toronto to see the Jays beat the Tigers. Ex-Met Javy Baez hit a HR in that game for Detroit's only run.
