Everyone hates everyone when the team is bad. 😂

I mentioned this the other day. You are aware that fans aren’t in a union, right? This isn’t collective bargaining! While I appreciate your frustration, there’s no way to organize such a boycott.

What? The team has had a grand total of TWO owners in 65 years and the first Owner is dead! It’s hardly been a revolving door.

And….sometimes you found out that your totally unheated seat was directly behind a big steel post.

Wait! What? We have to play the Chiefs at Home again right after hosting them in January? Come on NFL! Aren’t we ever gonna play them at Arrowhead? This is ridiculous!

Where’s the list of guys that would cause this board to light up with page after page of “Get ‘er Done Beane!” ?

Heated seats? We used to sit in the cold and the wet at the Rockpile while praying our car would still be where we left it before the game! Ahhhh, the memories.

Are the actual seats heated? Or is this radiant heat being ‘cast’ down on them? If it’s the latter then it makes no difference if you’re standing. If it’s the former then I’ll bet money they’ll all be broken in three years…tops.

God’s name isn’t God. That’s his title. 😉

Both can be true. I don’t think the point of the thread is to say that teams might as well use a blindfold when throwing darts at the draft board. Every team has a scouting department. Every team spends months looking at film. Every team attends the Combine. Every team interviews players. But…once you’ve done all of that it’s still far from a sure thing. I’ve always held that one of the biggest reasons is that these kids are still very young and for most they’re going through a major life change. It’s their first job. It’s almost surely far away from home. It’s their first time making real money. That’s a lot to adjust to for ANY young person, not just football players.

I’m aware, and as I said it’s often misunderstood.

In short, the ONLY draft pick that truly matters is for those teams looking for a starting quarterback. No other position even comes close. Thank goodness that isn’t us for a while….finally. So, stay in your draft slot and only move up or back a slot or two if you pretty much know a player you sort of like will or won’t be there because of what you know the teams directly in front of or behind you are going to do.

I’ve often thought this was gravely misunderstood. You’re not supposed to take/use the Lord’s name in vain. It doesn’t say that you cannot say his name. So you are not supposed to use the Lord to swear/promise/threaten anyone, as if you have some authority over what God does or doesn’t do. Nor are you to tempt the Lord to do anything. It’s perfectly fine however to say his name in worship and adoration.

Now this is what I’m talking about! Very cool! Thanks for posting! 👍

Thanks for the link! They’re definitely moving right along with the structural steel frame. It’s way more complicated than the old Rich Stadium which as we all know has a lower bowl of pretty much nothing more than concrete steps poured directly on the earthen berm.

How is Patrick Mahomes “influential”? He’s a great quarterback for sure but if he was so influential then why did the NFL spend every waking moment focusing on Taylor Swift when the most influential person was actually down on the field?

Is this thread based on the premise that Beane traded away all of our earlier picks to move up for a WR? 😉

Trust the Science dammit! 😂

I just heard this on the radio the other day (there are a bunch of similar common misstatements) …and I’m not desperate to be the grammar police….but….the correct phrase is “for all intents and purposes”….not intensive purposes. 😉

Hey Augie…. I was nowhere near WNY last week. I think you’ve got an imposter on your hands. 😉

Since the teams have to travel wouldn’t it actually be BETTER for the international game to be opening weekend? The Dodgers just opened in South Korea a couple of weeks ago. Now it’s done and behind them.

One of the things that I gleaned from the up thread discussion is the NFL no longer relies on what we all knew as the traditional roles…much like the NBA has gone away from guard, forward, center lineups in favor of a bunch of versatile 6’ 6” guys.

Kirby said nobody was hiding anything. But in truth, if he’s correct, then Pegula is in fact hiding/avoiding revenue sharing. Now, I’m not saying that’s good, bad, or unusual but this whole PSL thing is one big dodge at its core.

The definitions of these guys is literally all over the place! Samuel was a running back and is 5’ 11” at best. Gabe Davis is considered a big body WR and is listed at 6’ 2”. Their output might be similar in terms or yards, but are they at all similar in terms of their generally considered WR role? I didn’t think so.

Geeez we appear to be talking right past each other. Thats okay.
