I say this every time, but CALL AND CHECK in advance. It can be just old internet content.

You just want a thread about you, right? 😂

I think I have a solution. A piece of ownership exists in perpetuity. A $50 million/year contract is only for 4-5 years. Give them .00000001% ownership forever, plus minimum wage. 😋

But of course a gallon of gas was about a quarter. Yeah, I remember that! Thanks for making me feel old. Again. 😋

Let me guess. You are the good looking one in the Bills gear? .

He also got a pick off himself I believe. That’s pretty darn special!

So………who is getting fired??? 🤷‍♂️

Nope, the hardest part will be walking away from BILLIONS of dollars in TV contracts until the league is proven and a deal can be struck. Owners could act as the bank there, but we are getting rid of the owners. If your career only lasts a few more years, who wants to give up the vast majority of their income as an investment for future generations. Yeah, that would be nobody. Players are in it for the money. They won’t walk away from that.

But you also want to know what you have in the player. Not to mention, this sucks for this young man.

…and the fact that it just seems to be spot action makes me hopeful he can just keep doing what he’s doing. That would be great.

At that age I’d take a flash of flesh over going blind trying to see the scrambled Playboy Channel! Then again, at that age I’d take whatever I could get….. 🤷‍♂️

….and let us not forget, this is all happening near the speed of light. The players know the risks. I’m all for safety improvements, but we want to recognize the game too.

The title is misleading, and almost certainly untrue. Brady could not be a minority owner and play at the same time, right? I think the same is true for a kid coming out of college. There is also no way for the salary cap to account for this. I think the truth is they know this. It does bring to mind Dan Marino rumors when Wayne Huizenga was the owner. There were stories about Marino getting info and access to IPO’s as a form of boosting his total compensation. Not sure if that was accurate, but at least it’s possible (if possibly a violation of some type). If he could make $10 Mil in college with NIL (I’ve heard that is doable) that’s great today. BUT, you’d be missing out on a year at the backend of your career that could easily be $75 Mil/year by then. It’s a tough decision, because the wrong landing spot can ruin a career. .

Agreed. It can’t happen in the salary cap era. I wonder if Florio is giggling at starting this mess. “Reports” is a bit too vague for me to spend any emotional energy on. Nobody knows if this is even true, but it’s taken on a life of its own.

So, you want to create more tells on offense? Interesting. I prefer the idea of surprising our opponents.

I’m enjoying the unofficial thread much more. You guys are missing out.

PSA here - There is an additional fee for goats which was not properly disclosed up front!

For almost a decade I’ve gone to park several times a week. I’m often the only white guy there. One day a local police car went by and the guy I was hitting balls with stopped and pointed out they had a new paint job. That really meant nothing to me. He yelled out to the rest of the crowd “Hey! He doesn’t even notice the paint jobs on cop cars!” It was a big hit! LOTS of laughs! But it was also true to some degree, so it also sucks. .

The Sgt’s problem isn’t Marshawn, I must say.

Things can happen very fast. It’s a violent game, and I don’t want to stop, review or argue over one more thing that used to just be called football. I’m sure Tua disagrees with me.

I don’t think Sunday Ticket gets you games on separate streaming services, like Peacock. The idea there is to trap us into getting additional services so the NFL can cut deals all over in an attempt to force us to subscribe with each. Strangely, I enjoy Dan Patrick in the morning, but at some point recently his show became delayed by a day on Peacock. I’m not sure if I would get the current day’s show by signing up, but I refuse to do that now because I don’t like the pressure they try to apply. As for the draft, I haven’t been to one yet but Nashville looked awesome! Detroit? I think I’m busy for that one. Doesn’t NBC have a lot of Tour coverage? Does Peacock offer extended viewing options? I’ve watched the Tour for decades and enjoyed the “tourism” aspect more than the actual racing. I loved all of Paul Sherwen’s commentary on the various little towns, etc. It wasn’t until much more recently that I learned he married a girl I was seeing right after college. We were just tennis and drinking buddies. Small world! RIP

It turned out fine for Jags fans, I guess. 🤷‍♂️ But I am not a Jags fan. This will be my first year of booing Roger at the draft. I apologize for being late to that party. Oh, and I’m NOT getting Peacock if I need it to see a Bills game later in the season. I have enough streaming options forced on me already. It’s not the money, it’s the principle. I’ll miss a Bills game rather than give in to NFL pressure. That’s a bad thing long term of you are the league. Adding fringe fans is nice. Losing long-time core fans is bad for business.

I was born a Bills fan. I know everything! 😂 But my high school appearances never got much attention from the press. 🤷‍♂️ .

I lived in a house in college with a dozen other guys and a Golden Retriever, and I didn’t own a vacuum cleaner. The house was briefly condemned upon our departure. We believe that was largely due to some horticultural hobbies taking place on the fire escape from the upper floors. We were the worst possible group of tenants for an attorney turned first time property investor/manager. But it was merely a house. A house in Cincinnati. Congratulations to you and yours, sir! It’s not like we crippled THE NAVY!

Now that the thread has aged a bit, I’d like to point out that when I first saw the abbreviated thread title on the main page, I thought this was going to be about @Chandler#81. 😋
