That's No Moon

He's a scheme QB and this is a solid scheme. I'm glad he landed in in NFC.

I'm going to point out that the Saints gave the 49ers a pretty good game. I know the spread blah blah blah. SF is pretty good and only beat the Saints by 5.

If that's all you have to do to get a 15 yard penalty these days you might as well blow the QB up and take the same 15 yards.

JCPenney advertising on Amazon is strange and a bit sad.

Stop making sense. That's not what we do here.

Because he's not the off-season solution you're looking for. That's the guy you draft or the UDFA you sign, or the street FA or got let go somewhere else. Prater is the solid veteran you call in Week 2 when you just need a guy to be reliable and not your long term solution. 60 yard leg is nice. For this team being reliable is probably better. Obviously you want both but I don't think you're arguing Bass is both, particularly with him being injured. Who knows what his leg is right now. I doubt 60+ and if he has to over swing now the accuracy is going to drop too.

Not that I noticed. Adrenaline is a helluva drug.

It depends. The Saints lineman who got carted off was yelling loudly enough that I heard him in section 311. Not kidding.

My only question is are they Ws or Vs when said aloud. Or one of each. Or an F...

Offensive line is rough. Everyone sees when you mess up but it's usually harder to notice the plays you do well.

Shock is a real thing and people react to it differently. He didn't look like that a couple minutes later when they were taking him to the hospital. I don't like the guy, but that reaction wasn't him thinking about cashing checks.

Please dont ask me to come to Rex Ryan's defense. The force of these two speaking pushed two hurricanes out to sea. The part Mom skipped over was where Rex said if I know, everyone knows. That means the info is coming from Cleveland. Where in Cleveland remains to be seen. Who there would speak with Sexy Rexy?

And the Lord said unto them.... He was lucky to apparently avoid circulatory and nerve damage unless they haven't told us yet

Someone owns that IP and it's likely not Nike.

The creamsicles are so much better than the pewter.

Surely there's a disgruntled player in Aussie rules who wouldn't mind coming over.

Can I play?

Went to Glen Park Tavern tonight. Sweet feathery Christ. I'd be 700 lbs if I lived here again. Happy, but 700 lbs.

I agree with this. I find many of the American players to be very unlikeable. That those guys continually come up small for their country doesn't help either.

The roof is Megatron's butthole

There is zero chance Saskatoon has a team in a merger scenario. Ditto Hamilton. Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Calgary are all borderline. All of them have metro areas roughly the size of Providence or Milwaukee or less. Vancouver and Toronto would be locks. Montreal would have to be considered iffy just from their history with American sports leagues and public stadium support. The issue for the borderline cities would be that the NFL would demand new stadiums in each one and the ones in Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Calgary would need to be domes. The Grey Cup is in late November, the NFL runs into January. No shot the NFL is intentionally going into those markets to play outside in December and January. Are the local and provincial governments ready to kick in 2-3 billion CAD each? Is there a potential owner in any of those places who would be willing to go it alone AFTER paying what will certainly be an exorbitant expansion fee (easily into the multiple billions - each). The cheapest NFL team is about 4 billion dollars according to recent valuations. Why would the league sell anybody a franchise for less than that? They wouldn't. So 4 billion is a minimum, 5 is more likely, plus the stadium on top of it. 25 years ago the Texans cost 700 million in expansion fees when the average team was worth 380 million. Today, the average team is worth 5.5 billion dollars. Using the same ratio the league applied in 1999, an expansion team would cost 10.2 billion dollars today. That money would all be split 32 ways. For ONE expansion team. That works out to 318ish million per owner, per expansion team. I also don't see the owners giving out a Groupon discount just because they would be admitting several teams at once. Either pay or piss off. Furthermore, why would the NFL go into those smaller media markets while leaving Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, San Antonio, Austin, Orlando, San Diego, Portland, Saint Louis and others on the table? It makes no sense. The NFL would rather bankrupt the CFL, take Toronto and Vancouver then add two more teams, one in Mexico City and one someplace in Texas, either San Antonio or Austin. Jerry will squawk, but will be sated by the 1.275 billion coming to him in fees.

FWIW, Strong is terrible in his ST role. His gunner was running free all night long.

Meanwhile, his replacement was 0-2 on FGs this Sunday.

If that's all we have he will go back to the Eagles first.
