Lebron James raised millions of dollars for the Boys and Girls Club and other charities while stringing along viewers for 75 minutes. He gets the Decision thrown back at him every legacy discussion. JJ Watt created fake peloton account and strung multiple teams and fan bases along on social media over several weeks. He will get the Youtube video of when he "married" a little girl played back to him just to see if he remembers how charming he was. This is indicative of the major problem in our society. An issue we are inherently blind to because we're too close to the problem. Its hairline discrimination and its wrong. Lebron can't help genetics. He gets his hairline fixed and somehow he gets even more criticism. Meanwhile JJ Watt has hairline privilege and enjoys all the benefits therein. You all need to educate yourselves.

I call BS. If money wasn’t the main factor, then why was this so absurdly public? And the “leaked” salary requirements? What was the point of dragging multiple fanbases on social media? I can’t hate the man as a person given all of his charity work, but I have to say i’ve lost some respect for him as a player with all these histrionics. He didn’t even do anything particularly clever like ask the fanbases of said team to donate the most to charity to influence his decision. That would have been something.

It hurt to see them extend. Almost as much as EA keeping the NFL simulation gaming rights. As if no one cares about the product or customers.

Source: LB Matt Milano looking for “top dollar” in FA

Draft Milanos replacement and use the savings on a OL that can run block -
I didn’t even try ranch until I moved south. Now bleu cheese tastes like ranch with feta in it to me. But this is only an issue with mild or less spicy wings. Once the heat of the sauces goes past Tabasco levels, i’ll take either and be fine with it.

Frazier a “Serious Candidate” for Texans HC gig.
benderbender replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Frazier deserves another shot at a HC job. We deserve compensation that will help us reload. He can talk Watson into staying and possibly restructure Watt's contract and squeeze the last bit of juice out of his career. -
The Fight Is Only Beginning
benderbender replied to Maybe Someday's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hate to be the wet blanket, but we have to decide on whether to resign or let multiple players walk. We have to extend Allen. Decide on Milano. And we draft 29th. This really was our shot to shoot. We don’t merely keep the same Madden roster. The front office has to reshuffle the deck and figure out what to do with the most overrated and highest paid Dline in the league. I’m hopeful they can pull it off and that we are a better FA destination than in years past, but let’s not paint too rosy a picture. We don’t have much cap money to spend after resigning. But here’s hoping McBeane and co are smarter than everyone else. -
What was our defensive identity this year? Waiting for the All-22, but if you could isolate one play on defense where we didn’t play scared aside from the one good hit Hyde put on a RB. Whether it was refusing to attempt to bump Kelce at the line, or letting all 5’ nothing 170lbs of Hill intimidate our entire staff, we clearly didn’t think our defense had a single strength to play to.

How are you passing the time today?
benderbender replied to Conlan58's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I dig it. And the old tv show format is at the same time funny and disturbing. Only 3 episodes out so far so nobody is too far behind. -

Totally watching WandaVision with the wife. Just have the laptop out to warm my lap. Not watching hype videos or anything. -
Eagles hiring Nick Sirianni as HC
benderbender replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Apparently we had to slap Philly's hand away from our OC -
I would love GB for a few reasons. They're defense is middle of the pack. They have good players but are exploitable. Rodgers/Adams are their primary offensive weapons, and if they aren't perfect, they lose. If we should happen to lose, I can live with losing to a hall of fame worthy non-cheater with a great sense of humor.

The trend is toward player mobility and empowerment. The you only have to look at Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown to see that the bell has already been rung. Watson has a sterling reputation both as a player and in the community. The Texans incoming HC has Watson’s public unhappiness and a practically untradable contract in Watt to contend with. Watson may not have the contract leverage, but he’s got fan/public support.

A sense of calm this week...

No one expected this team to go this far. All the pressure is on the reigning champs to defend their dirt. We’re playing with -
Would it help any to know that Marrone also wears his wedding band during football games?

Is this a serious question? Yes. Exactly what has the NFL done to assure you that it has player safety paramount? The fact that there are games during a global pandemic slightly shades that. They actively fought to suppress concussion research studies. They played defense against paying for retired players healthcare. I could go on. I may be wrong, but I think you meant that the NFL wouldn’t overtly rubber stamp him to clear him to play. And I agree. They wouldn’t publicly do that. But if they really cared so much, they wouldn’t allow him, or any other concussed player to have to option to play. The concussion protocol is their legal protection and plausible deniability. “It’s not our fault he hurt himself. He completed the protocol, team doctors cleared him, and he WANTED to play.” Thoughts and prayers and no refunds.
