Overweight, but not obese.  What position would fit me best?

Haven't totally caught up in this thread so not sure if discussed.

 

On the issue of players not getting paid if game not played - if game is forfeit why not have part of the punishment/fine from the NFL be that the Titans pay the game checks for the opposing team of any game cancelled due to their negligence?

 

$10M fine might be a bit much. Not that I disagree with the idea, but I'm sure the owners would not go for that.

Valid point. I think it is closer to $7M when you look take out roster bonuses etc.

Would it be that much? - I didn't try to calculate even a ballpark.  F 'em - they said the punishment would be 'historic' 😛

Well, um...

 

Some issues with that, innit?

 

(Did you know I worked there for the last eight years?)

 

ha, I did not. I worked restaurants for like 15 years in Buffalo. Stopped in 2017. We probably know a bunch of the same people.

The number I originally calculated many pages back was $7.5M just on base salary, but I rounded up since I dont know how all the payouts work.

 

$7.5M would still be a lot.

 

That said, I'm not against hitting Titans ownership with that. I still remember when that old coot flipped us the double bird from his Owners Box. (I know that guy is dead, but still, eff them)

In a vacuum I would agree with you.  But you know, and I know, that there were most assuredly some nefarious rules-breakings going on up in Foxboro...

Say it’s 7.5 mil without roster and performance bonuses... they could at least make the Titans pay half and the league pay the other half.  After all the TV deal is all about revenue sharing and it was the NFL that has come up will a season devoid of extra weeks to fit these games ! We all could have assumed it was fairly likely there would be covid issues. The season just started, there will be more.

I agree with you. I was just being a pedantic a-hole.
