Mr. WEO

It's not....so I explicitly said so in the post you just responded to .

Plus, the idea of a roving gang of ticket paying pickpockets in the stadium....like Oliver Twist out there!!

I'm old. You think Buffalo would get another NFL team to move into that stadium if PSE packed up and left?

Schefter's role was to break the story, not to eulogize him. All that will come soon from many who knew this poor guy well. No one, certainly not me, is questioning his success in securing his financial future prior to his death (straw man...). He was clearly struggling to get a starting job in the NFL; perhaps that didn't even need to be pointed out as it was well known by everyone. But your harping on Schefter including that one word as completely inappropriate is a bit of manufactured outrage. That's my opinion on the overall reaction to Schefter's tweet. It's more a function of the general disdain for Schefter (certainly on this board) than it is for the legitimate lamentation of pervasive "poor taste" in society. My "issues" notwithstanding, lol...

A "new tenant" for an NFL stadium? Sure... See the post I was responding to...

Well, he works for a company and they told him to take it down, no doubt....because of the outrage.

It's about the dollars, not the perCENTS Exactly. They walk away from a billion+ dollar monument, awaiting demolition.

The Bills give handfulls of tickets to "Licensed ticket sellers" to sell in the parking lot? Also, I didn't get the part about the cellphone pickpockets. E-tickets are causing more phone theft because.....? Everyone has a cellphone on them anyway.

The biggest in NFL history, actually.

Left this thread for a bit. People jumping on Schefter because his original tweet labeled Haskins as "struggling"? Is nothing unworthy of outrage anymore?

OP posted this 4 years ago but he's using dial up AOL

Same as Eichel, no?

By that math the Mets have owned that town maybe half a dozen times in 35 years.

I can be convinced. But you really haven't given anything but cliches and a personal anecdote. Spend some time there

Spend some time there. It's exciting when both teams are both doing well (extremely rare, given the Mets seasons), but to say things like "and it's not even close" without any primary knowledge isn't much of an argument for your point. Even their attendance numbers aren't close.

I'm not arguing---don't have to. You clearly said NYC "will always be a National League town". Sure, many years ago, the Giants and Dodgers were hugely popular. Since they've left, the Mets have 2 WS wins in their history. Other than posting these cliched "bougie" vs "blue collar" (you've never been to the Bronx) labels, how did you conclude this?

Misconstrued?? You posted that your ideas "resonate with the readers", as though that's not weird. What readers? WTF?? You haven't spent much time in "NYC" Cy Young winner. Top athlete?

2 Chargers not the Div winner.

Oh yeah...he's of of your readers! But excellent point: because he's not MJ, Magic or Larry (forget the fact that the latter 2 played on teams loaded with stars), Durant is Eichel. Wait til he reads that...

resonates with readers?? anyway…Durant came back from a ruptured Achilles into the crazy shoe that the Nets became with chronic malcontent Hardin, chronic drama queen Kyrie (great leader of men right there…) and now hopeless softee Ben Simmons. Durant has been the constant. Yes he’s had some issues with his social media stuff and he’s injured more in his 15th year. But fraud? Eichel for sure, Durant no. but by all means, keep your “readers” resonating with this pure gold take machine!

guy just compared Durant to Eichel

why are any pitchers on the list?

lol deGrom

59 of the original 135 included in the study were still in the league at least 3 years after the injury. The positions with the highest % of post injury players in that group were QB, OL, FS, DE. Another study (cited in this one) showed skill players drafted in highest rounds had the worst outcomes after injury. All of the limitations of this study brought up in this thread were clearly discussed by the authors in this paper.

Hard to say-pretty fringe player. He wouldn't have been included in the study cited by the OP.
