May Day 10

They weren't, but he was pedestrian that season and his age limitations showed. Their defense carried them and Brady threw a walk-off pick-6. Then he writes his ticket into an all star team on offense and he is great. It's not a "brady sucks" post. It's remarkable he is doing what he is doing. If I'm the Carolina Panthers and I get a choice of any QB for a 1-year contract for this coming season, Brady wouldn't be in my top-5.

Just need to keep getting goaltending lottery tickets. Its very unpredictable. I remember when Enroth was looking like a future stud, Ullmark, UPL, Noranen... even Biron, although he had a decent enough NHL career. Need to develop mass in that position and hope 1 or 2 really pan out at the NHL level. Between Levi and Portillo, a really good chance neither amounts to anything worthwhile in the NHL. In the near-term though, they are probably going to need to get aggressive whether its an overpayment to a UFA (hopefully without too much term), or a trade. Hopefully all of Adyms' analytical guys can determine what are the best buys.

Nope. Bills, Sabres, Indians. Plenty of traumatic losses to last 10 lifetimes

Yeah, Id take someone to task for saying that. Especially considering the year-off, possible/probable suspension and potential distractions. Rodgers and Mahomes, no problem both have had seasons recently exceeding Allen and no reason to think they cant/wont do it again. Hebert and Burrow are interesting and I could see a strong case, although Id like to see another season for each as well as Hebert carry the Chargers into the postseason. Id take Allen over Brady without much hesitation. IMO, 2019-2022 Brady needs a stacked offense and team to succeed to mask his physical limitations. Allen, while he is on a really good team, is just so much stronger and faster than Brady at this point I wouldnt 'choose' Brady for the 2022 season.

I guess you would have to (Im sure the NFL owners have calculations) on what the value of a new 'brand' within the NFL is worth for the collective. How much an expansion fee would net each owner. How much in the way of free public money will be given to the league for a new stadium. Zerovolt does have a very strong point though about a likely reluctance to water down that sweet television money pool. I do think there has got to be appetite to tap new frontiers to bolster their footprint. The USA frontier is probably fairly maxed out from a market standpoint and putting a team in San Antonio or Portland probably will not have a huge correlation to increasing domestic TV deals. The focus would likely be more on delivery/logistics/technology as opposed to putting teams in US markets. But a team in Canada or the UK could be a lot of new eyeballs on new telecom companies. I do know that Canada already consumes a good deal of the NFL, but a home team would take it to another level IMO, and with 1 team, most of Canada would accept it as they do the Blue Jays. As mentioned, I could see Cincinnati moving to London is Mike Brown passes away coinciding with their lease. Khan would buy them and sell the Jaguars to some other billionaire. Not sure how that would work out logistically.

I think the Bengals may be in some danger of relocating. They are heading toward a perfect storm of an expiring lease and Mike Brown being 86 years old without any other major cash in the family besides NFL-related as far as I know. Jacksonville is always in danger depending on Khan's endgame if he wants it in London. Or I wonder if he just has right of refusal and will give up Jacksonville for the London franchise if its the same thing. We will have 2 expansion teams within 5 years. IMO, London will get a team. I also think we will see one of San Antonio or Orlando. I also think the NFL is going to really try to aggressively get another foothold in Europe. I assume they would be interested in getting into Canada before long too whether its Toronto, Vancouver, and/or Montreal. I wouldnt count out St Louis or San Diego either.

Thanks. Ill check it out.

I just know them as a typically mediocre team in Niagara and Canisius' conference

I don't believe Belichick could have planned to make those texts assuming it would trigger an unprecedented lawsuit that would also include publicly mentioning this secret boat meeting with Brady and Ross, while also assuming the lawsuit would drop the same day as Brady announcing his retirement. No. Also, what a slimy move by Brady if that is true. I would think the other owners would be against setting the precedent of an active player being part-owner of a team

lol, I forgot all about von miller

People also discount the amount of tax revenue you get having 50+ millionaires working in the county/state. It doesnt make up the entirety of the stadium, but it does put a chunk into in. And it is a civic pride thing. The Bills mean so much to the city and the people. It truly puts our region on the map globally. Like it or not, the price of these things is a large public contribution to the franchise. Without that, you will lose your team. Personally, I get a lot of mileage out of the Bills and will certainly use the new stadium for entertainment. How many state dollars flows into things I will never use downstate and Albany? Also, I read that in the long-run, Erie County will save money in the deal as they will be out of the operating costs

"Well, I havent seen a signed lease agreement yet, so the possibility remains that the Bills could relocate to one or more of Toronto, San Antonio, Portland, Mexico City, or Albuquerque."

This is a bad one

If the "playing field is now even"... wouldnt that indicate that the teams would likely spilt their games?

I think it is a terrible idea to give up premier assets AND pay a WR who is 28 (predicated on speed) QB money. Also add in the volatility of the individual. Terrible

No chance he ends up on the Bills, but him leaving KC would be a huge victory.

I would take him any day of the week as a 'talent evaluator' or even one of the AGM roles that you hear get hired and they just do their job and you never hear about them. As a General Manager, not so much

Honestly dont like this move at all from Cleveland's standpoint, but not sure what direction they were supposed to go in

Im sure there are a lot of sour "6 years $120 million for an old man?" comments Still not whistling past the graveyard. Last year felt perilously close to a gut-punch after that MNF game. If they dont lose to the Colts there it gets scary. Not sure I can ever really get over the trauma of the Brady years, at least until Belichick is deposed.

Good Buffalo Bill and a good contributor on a few special teams. time to move on though

Also, I have heard that certain teams/programs like being in this game because it gives them an opportunity for another game/more exposure... and also gives a team a better chance to win a tournament game as opposed to 1-and-done against a much higher seed.

For some reason, to me, Watson and the Falcons seem to be a correct match

Awesome I think

Listen to Rivet and Peters' podcast today (After the Whistle). They absolutely kill Eichel.

Something like that Tottenheim Stadium looks optimal and realistic. Looks shielded from the elements, but still outdoor. Seems to have somewhat of an intimate/closed in feel. Cost and seating capacity in the general ballpark with this project. Same design firm.
