    I straight up want us to change HC this off-season!  He'll be gone after next season regardless...


    But I DO CARE about what happens this year!  We have a shot to get in the playoffs and do some damage.  I want to see us do it.

     

     

    We all do but how many of us trust him to get it done?

    Not me😕

    But, I want to be WRONG

    Ever been to Hawthornes?  I worked as a bartender there floating between the Mint Hill/Carmel Road locations from 2006-2010.  Very good pizza.  Owners are from Brooklyn and Long Island.

      I pass the Mint Hill location everyday on the way to work ( Albemarle rd)

      They do have good pizza but Bisonte is Buffalo Pizza, Margherita pepperoni, crust and all. It’s the $#!t.

    Well that’s corrupted or crony capitalism. That’s what happens when governments/politicians interfere with the capitalist market, protecting existing entities, creating regulations to block new entities from entering and competing with the market, denying people in the market with free choice. 
     

    Its only in these corrupted capitalist systems (ironically created by people who don’t believe in capitalism in the first place) where monopolies that punish their customers can survive. 
     

    But that’s just the basics that everyone knows so I’m sure I’m not teaching you anything. 

       Again, For those in the back:

       Capitalism in it’s text book form does not exist.

       The forms it does exist in, including the American Version are corrupted by the power that wealth it eventually endows the holder with.

       Everyone wants to blame the politicians solely. Clearly they are( mostly) feckless little tw@ts who enrich themselves while making short term, empty promises. However, the non politicians with the money are the ones driving the system. Pick your person or conglomerate , Bezos, Musk, OPEC, The big banks….. The NFL 

        But, I assume you knew that😉

    dude, stop

     

    Monopoly != Capitalism

     

    Allowing a monopoly is government distorting the market, which is the opposite of Capitalism, where a free market is assured

     

    You're describing Crony Capitalism, into which both American political parties are heavily invested.  Using the power of Government to pick winners and losers is exactly what state controlled/centrally planned economies do.  That is not Capitalism

    My original statement:

         

    “BUT, I absolutely agree with your sentiment!!!!!

     This is what Capitalism is. Extricating every last ounce of money from the little guy so the rich can get richer.”

     

    Regarding the OPs statement about the NFL doing everything to get in the fan pocket.

     

    Textbook definitions are swell. Reality is what it is. Between PSLs, Ticketmaster and all the other middleman ticket sites, having multiple pay per view channels dicing up the TV market…… that is what Capitalism looks like in America today. You are getting pooched just like the rest of us, why the anguish over calling a spade a spade🤷‍♂️

    Im 100% agreeing with the greed, but this is more an example of monopolies and their unfair ability to ignore the market than it is an example of working capitalism.

    This is “ Working Capitalism “

    The NFL wields the power to be allowed to continue their monopoly…..

    The politicians get taken care of and they pander to those with the fat wallets while they’ll the rest of us what we want to hear….. so long as the money keeps flowing

    Why? Since the switch to Brady, we lost to the Eagles on the road and very easily could've lost to the Chiefs on the road.  We blew out the Cowboys and Jets at home.  I think getting a home game would be great.

     

    Also, historically, is there any easy way to look up all Super Bowl champions that had to play 3 conference playoff games?  If we compare:

    (1) Those that had to play all 3 conference games on the road to 

    (2) Those that started their playoff run at home

     

    #2 will be multiple times more numerous than #1.  Has there ever even been a Super Bowl champ that won three conference road games?  I think maybe one of the Eli Manning teams did it?

     

     

    Get into the playoffs.

     

    A home game WOULD BE SWEET

     

    If we don’t get in, it doesn’t matter.
