And that is of course the main difference But what about all the others? Differences in length and width of the field (wwwaaaaayyyy too big BTW, it sucks as a fan), different end zone size, goal post at the zero yard line, 12 players vs 11, 1 point by kicking in the end zone, 3 minute warning, different game clock management and stoppages, and on and on and on. Don't tell me that for many of these it's not just to be different! Childish, even.

Well that's a world record I think I'd have a chance to beat!

I'm a Québécois. It's like you guys can't fathom that it's 100% fine to resist being completely overwhelmed and drowned. North America is English, the Internet world too. We are getting to be a minority in Québec itself and Trudeau (father & son) and ilk want to assimilate us. Your point that you can easily live only in English in Montreal illustrates this to a T. Of course it doesn't excuse rudeness in Québec City, but that comes more from Ontario youngsters coming in to party, drink at 18, and raise hell LOL It comes from old battles. Tourism used to make that City live (before Covid) so it's not as bad as you make it. I'll never get why so many English Canadians, that strive soooooo hard to be different from their American peers with which they share 95%+ of the same culture, hate us while we give a different flavor and uniqueness. When I go to Texas, I want to live a Texan experience. Same in New York, Louisiana, BC, Alberta, etc. Yet many of you guys hate on Québec, while knowing so little about us. Most of us speak English so we understand you more way more that vice versa. And for all it's PC woke slant, the Canadian media still vomit all over us with no restraint. My father told me decades ago how they were 4 dudes talking, him, one from Montreal, an American, and a British dude. Guess who didn't speak French? Of course the guy born and raised in Montreal. My last GF was anglophone and spoke French pretty fluently... but she had learned while working. Her ex BF father of her kid spoke none. And he lived in RURAL Québec. He of course complained he had a hard time finding a job. Like if I could in the US or English Canada refusing to learn English... Yeah we want to protect our ways. Well, thanks the web, federal government, SJW, woke culture, young people don't care anymore about traditional values of any kind, so the battle is lost. It'll be English coast to coast in two generations, and we will be just of the many minorities in Canada.

At one point, it was clear that the NFL at least wanted to grow the sport internationally. They play games in Europe and Mexico, had NFL Europe at one point. Yet the two countries playing it have such wide differences it borders on ridiculous. Yes the CFL has a long tradition, but no doubt that most of the rule differences are just to be different, no other reason. But of course Rugby and Aussie Football are also very different from one another, and from North American football. Almost weird when you think about it!

So Jimmy G went from savior to dead man walking? Threads like these make us make the Bills all the more ha ha

The main problem with the CFL is at least half their season overlapped with the NFL, and while they play games in any kind of weekdays, once the NFL started and thus school started, they played on... Sundays, at the same time as NFL games. Such awesome business sense... Only two countries play this kind of football yet they couldn't agree on any similar rules? Different field sizes, different places for the goal posts, 12 vs 11 players, 4 vs 3 downs, even a... 3 minute warning. It bordered on ridiculous. A merger with the XFL and a season that wouldn't clash with the NFL would be a good thing IMO.

Yep. My doctor won't get vaccinated - she told me without me even asking. My GF's mother is a medical technician and she won't either. Many doctors and scientists have different views, but those diverging from the official line dare not speak of publicly. And it's clear as day the media only have the more "prudent" ones on cue. Enough of that anyway. My point was that because of what's happening in Texas we will able to see soon enough. Either it was too soon or it wasn't. Facts speak louder than your or my or anyone's opinions and theories.

Texas Rangers had a full crowd two days ago. If in 2-3 weeks, there's no spike in cases linked to the attendees, or if there is, we can learn from it. UFC will hold events with full crowds too So by the time NFL season starts, we should have a much better idea. Who can trust fear mongering media these days unless your mind is already made up that the way we humans lived from day 1 to March 2020 is never possible again? At least Texas is doing real "testing" of crowds. We'll see soon enough. I mean, if it's bad it'll be all over the news so we have to keep an eye on what goes there as if it's all well and dandy, media will be silent. Either way, it will be telling.

Point #2 is my biggest peeve. Just like having 7 teams per conference instead of 6. It's not that I want things to be the same. Things change constantly. But if Josh beats records, I want him to beat them because he's that good, nbot because he had one extra game to do it!

I wonder why didn't other teams imitate the Cheatriots "hiring" TB12 for "consulting". Or maybe guarantee Josh ad revenue. Can't the Pegulas pay him millions as a spokesperson for some of their non-NFL businesses? Salary cap obviously will always be an issue, as otherwise we want Josh to be paid more than Mahomes! But who wants a star QB with no team around him?

What WR likes to sprint all over the place to get just a few balls here and there? And they get the big $$$ with big numbers. Ravens and Lamar are run happy and it fits them well. I'd love to play OL or TE there. WR? Hell no LOL It was actually weird how creative the run plays were (and I wonder why it's not copied more!) yet the pass game was dumb. Recall how he used Watkins as a decoy all the time?

Yeah but what about your signing bonus, bro?

He really was. Good luck to him

That's what I took out of it as well. By being public with it, he can also expect help - and accountability - from teammates and coaches. And also avoid to get tempted by what would have been merely innocent social drink invitations. Impressive he can be as successful in football with such an issue. Edit: as for the car thing... you guys forget that many of these players make MILLIONS? Those aren't just made up numbers for your stats ha ha, nor are they dressed in football gear 24/7. I don't see it at all as showing off.

And forget that the much lower than expected salary cap changes things for ALL teams.. Staying the same is actually a GREAT thing if other teams regress! Especially for a 13-3 team. And as mentioned, it's not over, at all.

Chiefs lost their TWO starting offensive tackles. And who knows what else. Of course we'd want the Bills to improve. But the unexpected low cap number means ALL teams will likely lose starters. Staying the same is a good thing... this year.

Amazing. I didn't think they had the cap space to retain them all. Sucks for Brown but otherwise team is intact. I don't see many teams improving with the 2021 salary cap so staying the same is a big win

You can void all the years that you want if you pay me a 9.6M signing bonus 🤑 Oups. You had beat me to it ha ha

This one we all saw coming, so Brown's agent didn't do a good job if he didn't warn him! It sucks but clearly a salary cap casualty and nothing more to read into it. 2021 will be the worst year to be a FA. 2022 could be the best for players as the salary cap should JUMP UP big time.

Yeah. We should all be "progressive" and "enlightened" for maximum internet virtue signaling points. edit for wrong quote but it seems it'll stay, like the 2 genders ha ha

He is one of my favorite non-Bills players for sure, but cap space is cap space. I too ain't mad at all.

I was a big JJ Watt fan. Not many players I can say that about outside the Bills. But salary cap is salary cap. As almost all of us, Id like him to be on the Bills, but so many needs right now. A pass rushing DE certainly is one of them! But maybe not at that price tag...

UFC have got a major BOOST in ratings in 2020. Seems the NHL as well. So... nobody wants to mention identity politics, BLM, kneeling and all that as reasons the NFL lost viewers this year? NBA fared the worst, and they were the worst at that. People want to watch SPORTS, not have divisive topics pushed on them all the time! Half the fans are told how awful they are and you expect them to just take it? The emotional bond was broken for some, and it's not something to disregard lightly. Sports must be one of THE most unifying aspect of modern society, by far, but they made sure to put a wrench in that as well. Sure Kapernick started that but it was him and a few other players. This year it was the league itself and networks pushing the narrative. Go woke, go broke. Strangely, they don't even seem to care... We must be "educated".

He was one of my favorite players so I was wondering all this time if A Winfield Jr was his son. Pretty obvious now ha ha.

If you're not one already, considered journalism for mainstream media. You have the traits they're looking for
