Go to Deek’s house? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Society’s peep holes? You just keep getting weirder. 😆

No. How you jumped to that conclusion is mind-boggling. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And an architect telling someone to read a book about an architect is rich. 🤣 I’m just pointing out examples of works/products that are out there, easily available and can be consumed at no cost. In some of these cases, it is not considered “stealing”, but they do equate to the viewing of football streams available online where the source of the work/products isn’t paid for by the viewer/user. Audience bootleg recordings of concerts are another example. A really good example is at Chautauqua Institute, where you can literally sit on a porch in a rocking chair and see and listen to concerts in the amphitheater without having to pay for entry into the amphitheater. My point is there are so many of these situations that have led to people having differing opinions of what constitutes stealing.

You must have a bad library. I can get best-selling books that have just come out, although there is a long waiting list of borrowers. In fact, a quick Google search of a book title and “pdf” will yield copies of all kinds of popular books, just hanging around out there in the ether.

I get all that, but to Einstein’s example, teachers get paid the same whether one kid shows up or 20 kids show up to class on any particular day. It’s not really relevant to the (off-topic) discussion. Teacher salaries are based on many factors in addition to class size, and are fixed for whatever the contract terms and conditions are over time. I think the library example is more relevant. Governments make books available for people to borrow and read, which takes away potential purchases of books people might otherwise make. Why is that not considered stealing, yet people watching a stream online that someone makes available are considered to be stealing? In both cases, people are taking advantage of opportunities to consume something with no direct reimbursement to the source.

Isn’t that what schools systems do? LOL. Or do they get paid by the kid in your district?

Wait a minute….I think you’re onto something here.

Maybe back in the olden days, but nowadays with modern pharmaceuticals…..you’d be surprised. These guys juicing probably have 4 testicles.

Dude, you live a sheltered life if you think people watching streams is the downfall of civilization. Have you watched the news? As long as we’re talking morals, wanna hear my thoughts on sex?

Think of the advertising revenue and ratings they are losing out on because of you, you sonuvabltch!

Geez, I’ll take $50 because at this point, I don’t think they will ever win one.

For once and for all, read my lips: the 2025 schedule will be posted as soon as the 2026 schedule comes out.

Pfft! I got literally dozens of emails today.

Bengals are like “THAT’S what I’m talking’ about.”

Whew. That rules out a spleen.

Bosa is turning the whole damn team to glass.

Because we aren’t done bltching about last year.

I think there’s been enough problems with “chemistry” with a couple of our free agents to move forward without it.

Number of games they would have won if I had consistently taken the Bills’ moneyline: 0

Jesus loves you. But it’s close.

He gets married and throws 3 picks. If he starts having kids…well, there’s always Rodgers.

Sounds like it’s already been happening with this guy.

Same old song in the PSL thread. Always harping on the negative. Relentless.

Tony Parisi? Bo Bo Brazil? Waldo Von Erich? Dominick Denucci?? Those 70s videos?

Agree that it’s more about eyes on TVs than eyes on the field. The league was created for TV, not for attending fans. Loss of viewers and loss of TV revenue is what will end the league. As for the NFL using it as a farm league, they already have the NCAA for that. And it’s a highly developed farm league that serves the NFL extremely cheaply and well. If the NFL thought there was money in a spring pro league, they would have made it happen a long time ago.
