Elimination of regular season OT seems a logical concession to get an 18th regular season game. Not sure that it’ll be put on the table, but it would make sense to lighten the playing load of players that little bit.

for sure. and it’s probably a good thing. just ask any cop if he’d rather deal with someone drunk on booze or someone high on weed. no contest. also the OD stats I referenced don’t include weed, just hard drugs

Interesting that WV is all green, but leads the nation in drug overdose deaths. There doesn’t seem to be a direct correlation between drinking alcohol (or not drinking alcohol) and hard drug abuse, but a few of those green states have some of the worst drug problems.

Thanks for the info. Plus it is all a business expense anyway.

Heck, Costco sells private jet memberships to Wheels Up now. Also I can attest to seeing a bunch of private jets in and out of Palm Springs for Paribas at Indian Wells. The rental car company was running behind and didn’t have cars ready. The people sitting next to me outside mentioned it. Definitely a steady stream of rich people planes. And what’s the cost difference for someone like Pegula anyway? Coaches, trainers, family, friends and equipment all going commercial versus just one private plane? Not to mention how often you can get sick from commercial air travel. It’s probably worth the extra $20k or so it costs just to be sure there’s no screw ups by the airline or she doesn’t get the flu a couple times a year.

Thx. Hulu has the Tennis Channel if you have the sports package upgrade. Fubo TV does too (and that also might require a sports package). I don’t have either so I’m outta luck. Bummer.

3 pm, but don’t know what channel/service it will be on.

Got to see Sabalenka beat Samsaonova in the quarterfinals at Paribas this year. She’s a beast, though she lost to Andreeva in the finals. Would’ve liked to have seen Pegula too, but she got bounced the round before.

I thought it obvious that Madoff was just an example of a scam artist. Plenty of NFL players have been the victims of innumerable scams. Heck, I used to live a few houses down from Kevin Houser’s brother. He used to brag that his brother made way more money selling investments to his teammates than he ever could as a long snapper. Google that. With my own money, the vast majority is invested with a reputable firm. With other people’s money, I very rarely comment on it unless asked. I certainly don’t sit around gossiping derisively about them and their decisions. As for Worthy, how’s he crooked? One accusation from his ex-fiance that he dumped and kicked out of his house for allegedly cheating on him. The accusation that has been rescinded. As for his spending, maybe the house and cars were his reward for making it to the NFL and getting a big contract. He may blow everything he makes, he may not. But it’s his money. It not anyone else’s business.

Oh, was there someone here trying to help him?

It’s their money. Let them do as they please. When I see athletes pissing away money I always think of the responsible ones that handed theirs over to Bernie Madoff to invest.

$800k was his salary, but it’s intentionally misleading as it ignores the $6.85M signing bonus he also got. SMH

Quality show and tons of eye candy. I do love me some Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, etc.) shows.

Indeed. My mom was a Steelers fan. I have pics of me in my early elementary school years in Steelers shirts. I grew up in Cleveland. So not optimal.

So my question there is why Palmer wasn’t more productive. He was on a team desperately looking for WR help for McConkey and analytics shows him to be an excellent separator. Hebert is far from a slouch at QB. So why the lack of production? Okay, but that’s where we are today. why overpay that much to still suck? And those three were not the only options.
