T master Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Public service announcement !! Due to the intermission in the season is the reason for this post !! Lets start out by saying there are a lot of things to care about in & around the NFL like how the new pass interference rule might change some calls this year & the discussions about the new CBA coming up & how that could cause a hold out by the players because of how much they think they should make to play a game . Then there are things & players in & around the NFL that i just don't care to talk, read or here about & here are a few for me & feel free to write down those things that you could care less about !! I don't give a Rats A** about what Roger Goodell or Jerry Jones thinks about the Bills needing a brand new $1.6 BILLION stadium to stay relevant or competitive in the NFL !! I don't care if i ever here another word about A.B. , Levon Bell , Richard Sherman or OBJ I have no need for a prima donna's insight on football !! I don't care what Jerry Jones thinks about most anything in or around the NFL !! And last but not least I don't care what the national media & the rest of the NFL thinks about our Buffalo Bills they will always be #1 in my book !! GO BILLS !! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The NFL has become a prostitute for money. Take the NFL draft for example, they milk every pick for 15 minutes, when I watched the NHL draft the other day it was fun, 1 minute per pick, it was smooth. Look at the commercials too, how long can they possibly spread out each game? Pure greed and filth. Hockey is quickly becoming my favorite sport, non stop action, very few interruptions and penalties. The NFL is dying I'm afraid. The game needs to get cleaned up. The tempo and intensity needs to be increased. Too slow. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched about 20 minutes of the NHL draft on Friday, it reminded me of the NFL drafts of the 80’s rather than anything close to comparable to today’s NFL draft. I absolutely agree that the NFL milks everything for any dollar they can find. It is why the off season events are spaced out like they are. They do, however, put some of that money to good use. Such as the production value of their shows and events. Edited June 24, 2019 by Bills2ref 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I don’t care about preseason. I care too much about fantasy. Last night I had a dream that I got my preferred spot 6th overall pick. When it came my turn to pick I was scrolling through the list the entire time and it was all back ups and reserve players. I timed out and it selected TJ Hockenson. I was very unhappy and confused, then I woke up, rolled over and laughed at myself a bit. #fantasy nightmare 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you get something from the preseason you can evaluate players & get others into something that resembles football shape but fantasy football is kind of like fantasizing about that beautiful woman that just entered the room you get something but it's totally useless in a practicality way of thinking ? sorry just don't get it !!

I hate the timeout after a score and then a kickoff and a timeout. But it still is a business. I can’t kill something for maximizing its profits. 5 minutes ago, T master said: Thanks for reminding me of another thing i don't care about Fantasy football !! ?

Big Gun Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Other than games, I don't really watch other TV football stuff. No pregame No halftime No post game I do listen to some of the Bills pregame on GR Much rather read about it, watch a few highlight videos and converse about it. The TV personalities annoy me.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 News media people that think the rest of the country wants to continuously hear about the Giants, Jets, and Cowboys. Domestic violence purps being permitted to return to the league and earn millions of dollars. Players with legally binding contracts deciding that they will breach those contracts by holding out until an owner gives them more money. TV timeouts when I'm sitting in the stadium in single digit temperatures. $6.00 hot dogs and $10.00 beers! 410 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The network is the entity that is drawing out programs like the draft so they can generate ad revenue. The NHL draft was quick because the company that broadcasted it knew no one would be watching--hence it was relegated to the woeful MSNBC. Compare that to the 2018 NFL draft, which was covered by ESPN, Fox and NFLN. Disney said, in January, that they had sold out ALL ad space for the 2019 NFL draft. Also, maybe it hasn't occurred to you that all those ads allow you to watch multiple free NFL games a week with just your HD antenna. You can't do that with the NHL. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnearlysghost88 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 let me get this straight, we use instant replay to measure certain minute aspects of the game and then other times we have a 70 year old ref eyeing the runner from 20 yards away and spotting the ball as he walks a crooked like to the center of the field. And then we take out some poles and chains and MEASURE that man's spot? sounds efficient. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are allowed to cut players and it is why most players get signing bonuses. Many want to be cut so they can get another and will dog it if their agent tells them if they are cut they will be resigned. There are actually agents, one of the was a Bills player's agent but fortunately he is in hell now, was refusing to negotiate on one client's contract until another player as traded or given a new contract.

I have to honor it but they don't The 90 man to 53 man roster has a lot to do with this. 37 guys in camp don't make the team - you can't pay 37 guys to not play, it would take money away from the guys that do. There is no minor league affiliate where you can pay a player under his NFL wage like you can in the NHL and MLB. NHL has juniors, so you can have a guy come to camp and then send him back to play down there and maintain team control. They also have fully guaranteed contracts so holdouts are rare since if you get hurt, you get paid the entirety of your contract. MLB has the player options and team options - but if you get DFA'd you still get the remaining salary on your deal. Both have restricted free agency or arbitration years - and players hit UFA roughly in their prime. NBA is just absurd since 82 games, solid TV deal, and 12 guys per team - half on rookie deals - the other half either overpaid or underpaid based on contributions. The tax is confusing, and it seems like every deal has opt-outs every year. Edited June 24, 2019 by dneveu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
