  1. I’ll tell you, that could be called throwing a punch.
  2. Jerry will probably hire himself as their next head coach.
  3. We gave the NFL the blueprint on how to give the Cowboys a beat down.
  4. Trubisky coming out tonight! This is the best I have ever seen him play. Smart decisions, good throws and not showing any signs of being timid.
  5. I'm sure he'll cherish the jersey from "the second coming." Now, you can expect the Ravens to coast on God's wings. Luckily, we have the chance to snap them out of the dream. Sorry, but that is not right. In fact, everyone knows the Patriots worship Satan. Their slow descent into Hades is just beginning. Please don't mention God and Patriots in the same post again.
  6. When will Rob Johnson be coming back to be honored? hahahahaha
  7. Just listen to how excited Collingsworth is now. LOL
  8. Bob Kraft is like “I thought you told me we had these guys on the payroll.”
  9. I guess you have to worry about something. ☺️
  10. And, Bob Kraft will get a rule enacted for 2020 that if Pats players get sick they are automatically gifted a “W”.
  11. Just a token so they can call the big PI shortly.
  12. twice in a row-same play. Wow!
  13. Wow! Nice start to this one.
  14. I’m glad he’ll have a beneficial career waiting when his football career ends tonight after their game.
  15. They were desperate at that moment. Obviously, their desperation didn’t last.
  16. My god, how CBS has fallen. Their idea of relevance is alarming! Hell, I can’t even tell you what they mean.
  17. Having worked NFL, MLB, NHL and NASCAR, I can tell you that the games are not fixed. I will also tell you that each league makes upper level decisions to influence the games for their best interests. This is found in rule changes, and in the memos that instruct officials to enforce specific infractions. In the NFL this is referred to as “point of emphasis.” Now I ask you, in the NFL, who ultimately makes these decisions? The owners. Not Goodell, who answers to the owners, not Al Riveron, who answers to the owners, etc. Who are the most powerful and influential owners? Robert Kraft is #1 by far. Then Jerry Jones. Perhaps Daniel Snyder, as was brought up in another thread. There’s likely a couple more that I don’t know. But, it sure as hell ain’t Kim & Terry Pegula. So at the end of the day, the game is slanted in the direction that these few most powerful owners decide is best for them. Now don’t get me wrong. There is no intent to fix games. There is every intent to do whatever makes the game more profitable and makes them more money. Sometimes that means parity. Sometimes that means “America’s Team.” Sometimes that means worst-to-first. Whatever makes more money in souvenirs, jerseys, tickets, viewership, concessions, and all the rest of the industry. But, it will seldom benefit any club that does not have the fan base to substantially drive profitability. And, the worst part is that these powers-that-be always try to drive the less profitable clubs toward more profitable destinations. Bob Kraft would like nothing more that to see the Bills relocate to a bigger city, as an example. It would make him much more money. The best we can hope for is to survive with the tables tipped against us. The worst case is that it becomes unsustainable.
