Please stop reminding me of how much I wanted to buy Citi at 50 cents/share. That pain is all I’m getting out of this.

It’s pretty simple. We will vote with our feet and our wallets, while they will test the limits.

I’m…..I’m…speechless. Can I get back to you about this? 🤷‍♂️

Are you “serious?” It is theft. Can I decide if what I take from YOU is important? Or is that just being dramatic?

Does the price of a nice tenderloin excuse shoplifting? Sorry, I know many don’t like that line of thinking, despite knowing it’s true. Not judging. I’m just a rule follower in general. I get that people will always skirt around the edges for an advantage. That’s life.

Is that making you nervous?

I don’t care how rich they are, stealing from them, or anyone, is wrong. If you don’t like the cost, stop watching and following. THAT will sting in all kinds of ancillary ways. Jersey’s and general merch and such. I don’t blame anyone for trying to protect their rights. EDIT: Important note here, it says they “are losing” millions/year, which is a bit misleading. They are more accurately failing to capture that money. “Losing” almost makes it sound like the media would want to enflame people by implying the billionaires are actually claiming they are losing money.

I was in the stands on the road sitting by three guys scouting our opponent as they were coming up soon. They were from one of the Catholic schools in Tampa, I believe. One of the 3 played in the NFL, and the HC/OC was either Bernie Kosar or Vinny Testeverde. (SP?) They had former NFL players coaching every position group. If you are the best talent in the area, where else do you want to go to school if you are serious about moving up in football? Can’t afford the private school? I’m sure some scholarships are available!

That’s just not right. You see and hear stories like that far too often. I know there may be many very different reasons, but we have to take better care of our kids in general.

Football definitely has the most juice to it. EVERYBODY shows up for the football games. Our son was QB and the offense so took a beating. He’d come with two bags of ice for the bathtub soak (while his friends were drinking beer and smoking weed around a fire). He needed it! For that reason (plus a host of serious injuries, including ACL/MCL and broken arm), football wasn’t my favorite to watch. He got the most press for it, including 1st team all-area when Manatee High, FL right up the road was #1 in the country loaded with D1 kids. Florida has some serious competition and both kids played against multiple eventual NFL players. But I was always on edge due to the injuries. I really enjoyed watching soccer. It was somehow soothing and more….”polite”. Even cerebral in ways. Basketball was everybody just screaming at the refs and embarrassing themselves, and weightlifting is a total of six lifts, each taking several seconds. You hate to cross the state to watch THAT! They each have their own flavor, I guess. My son’s OLine averaged 285 lbs at a small catholic school. The teams they faced were incredible and included a bunch of guys who played in the NFL. You can look out on a field and say “OH! Yep, that guy and that other guy over there. Those are not like the rest.”

Rex had a serious problem with this bolded concept. I guess he wasn’t really a BIlls fan after all.

….assuming you can find them in the first place. 😂

Is this Capt. Andrew Luck?

Super fancy! Like football and camping had a baby? I admire the Bengals team today, and I’m quite confident they are not a budding dynasty.

TJ Houshmandzadeh will talk about how players had to bring their own Gatorade to practice. After Burrow gets paid, and all his guaranteed money is put into escrow, I don’t see them breaking the bank to pay for the surrounding players and putting huge chunks of cash into escrow. Like the Raiders being crippled at one point, I’m not sure if they CAN put the cash up. It’s certainly not their style historically. FWIW, they do finally have an indoor practice facility as of this spring. This could be a new mindset, or it could be that they were such a joke something had to be done. I went to college in Cincinnati, and it can be every bit as cold as Buffalo.

It doesn’t matter, according to you. They are just losers. The NFL has 31 teams full of losers every year. I think you should share that message in person to each of those locker rooms. Giannis had a nice response when asked if the season was a loss since he didn’t win the NBA Championship this year. Maybe you could look that up and learn something from an actual professional athlete. Actual athletes find your take inane and offensive.

No, no it is not. Period. He acknowledged where they went wrong. If there was a magic potion that would prevent all future errors, I’d suggest we all get some sent to our doors. NOBODY is perfect, and that certainly includes you. As for the bold, what do you suggest? Again, do you even read what you type?

Do you even read what you write? That is the exact opposite of what happened. He owned it according to the post you quoted, he did not pass the buck. Can you explain to us how that is passing the buck?

Oh, GREAT! Now we have a QB controversy!

It’s the new AARP Rules, as voted in at the National Shuffle Board Tournament last spring in Myrtle Beach. Juniors rules still apply. Old people? Anything can come out of their mouths, but it’s excused. You should have heard my 95 year old mother at the nursing home today. You just learn to smile and nod.

I heard somewhere they are going to train him for the outside first. We will be quite deep there. 😋 If I don’t put a smiley face after that, some nuts get elevated blood pressure and want to fight, and I’d hate to be responsible for anything unfortunate.

I had heard he was difficult, but WOW! That is exactly the kind of thing that most people never know about when we judge a GM’s decisions. Having better information is a huge part of the job.

Great…..now we’re going to have a tie……

This AGAIN?
