  1. That’s only if you can get to the front of the line. I gave up a couple times a few years ago, I wasn’t willing to miss football over a cheap hot dog. Hopefully they have worked about the kinks (and the wait wasn’t planned). The energy there for soccer is amazing. Much better than for the Falcons from my experience. Every now and then a see a decal or a hat that reminds me this is the home of the Falcons and not just College Football HQ.
  2. That’s really something to be proud of….or she was just a skank. Congrats. I remember you bragging about that.
  3. I love the energy of being at the games live, but it is a better viewing experience at home. That could be improved, if the NFL cared about the people in the seats.
  4. Suzy Kolber had no idea what she was missing out on. Live and learn, girl.
  5. Happy Birthday to you!
  6. He could be Tremaine’s father, for goodness sakes!
  7. Golic & Golic (or whatever it’s called) just had an interview with Notah Begay that was pretty entertaining. They wanted to know how far the New York hecklers could go, and were told it’s a giant gray area, so we will see. They got my interest for sure. .
  8. The original title was When The Levee Funds Are Diverted, but it just wasn’t catchy enough. Yes, I’m afraid it was too soon, but I’ve probably locked in my next destination by now.
  9. Somehow, somebody had better views closer to the action. I’m sure it was still delayed, but at least they knew ho had the ball! It was a crazy game to this little kid. Good memories.
  10. His agent explained it was just a bad connection. He’d like one more shot at a commission.
  11. You just pause the game in the stadium for a few seconds and let the radio catch up. Duh. I thought everyone knew that. I remember listening to transistor radios at the Rockpile. Some times (like a Bengals game I remember) the radio was the only way to know what was going on because it was snowing so hard. We couldn’t see a thing in the whiteout at times!
  12. I thought the same thing, until I considered how irrelevant the Cowboys have been for several decades on the football field, yet they are the highest valued team. It’s a lot of different factors.
  13. Tell the truth, you’re going to hit him up for a loan, aren’t you? Happy BDay, young man. Be wise with your money. That tidbit is my gift to you.
  14. Jim Leonhard was 5’8” and played a decade in the NFL as a DB because he was smart and he could process better than the guys who were exceptional athletes. Measurables are easier to judge than processing speed and heart. You need the proper blend.
  15. How about you be their new HC at $10 MIL/YR? That guy hasn’t won anything in forever. You have a good record here, I’m sure you’d nail that job. Let me know if you need references, I will be your greatest admirer.
  16. I’m only talking about very long kicks, which don’t even have to be made to earn points.
  17. It would affect ST because you’d want to have a guy back there to prevent that generally (I think?), but what does that open you up to? I think of that as a CFL Power Play if they put a man back to avoid that point. Do they have an empty net play as well? Maybe put a Safety in snow shoes? We do that sometimes! I kid, I love our neighbors living in our attic. Kathleen Madigan does a very funny bit on that. I seem to recall the Chiefs used to put a super tall guy who could really jump back at the goalposts on long FGAs. Anyone else remember that?
  18. Even if he doesn’t become a huge contributor this year, it sure would be nice for him to get some experience at full speed with live bullets this season. The injury was a bummer, but that stuff happens. The more play he can get this year, the more it will help prepare him for next year. If he can be a big help this year, I’ll think of that as icing on the cake. Not to mention, if we were a drought era team starting roles would be much easier to come by. It’s not easy to make an immediate mark on a Super Bowl favorite team.
  19. I’m not willing to go there 3 games into their first season. I don’t know how they will turn out, but I do know that now is too soon to decide. .
  20. If we are going by the Good QB Count, they may need to consider contraction.
  21. I’m not wasting time getting bogged down in semantics regarding how you personally define “cheating”, but it’s not even inadvertent like a false start. The rules were intentionally violated and you can be penalized for that.
  22. If you violate the rules, it’s cheating and subject to penalty. It’s quite simple, and that goes across sports. That just how that works. You may see some things as more egregious than others, but cheating is cheating and the penalty associated with it reflects how ”serious” it is. This penalty was actually called (on our opponent) when I was in 5th grade playing little league. That’s a strangely vivid memory. If it’s against the rules, I have to expect that you might have a flag thrown in your honor.
  23. This is going to be a serious bummer for those who invested heavily in pink slips.
  24. I think this is the answer, and I’m a bit surprised by the numbers. A PS guy in the NFL makes a lot more than a typical CFL player. AI Overview An NFL practice squad is significantly more lucrative than playing in the CFL ; even a practice squad player with no prior NFL experience will earn a minimum of $13,000 per week, totaling $234,000 for the 18-week season, whereas the average CFL salary is around $110,000 CAD for the entire season. A CFL salary can range from about $30,000 CAD for a rookie to potentially $250,000 CAD for a star player, but this pales in comparison to NFL practice squad earnings.
  25. I know there are some, but I’m really surprised we don’t see more guys getting signed from the CFL.
