RoyBatty is alive replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
10 Offensive lineman and only 2 qbs? -
Why is Joe Namath in the HOF?
RoyBatty is alive replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No it says a lot more about how professional football has evolved over time. Namath took more brutal hits in one year than Brady has taken in 20. The game has been wildly skewed in favor of the receivers and QBs. 400 yard games used to be a rarity, one for the history books, now they happen multiple times a year. -
Why is Joe Namath in the HOF?
RoyBatty is alive replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That is not accurate at all. It wasnt just "one game", in fact in the Super Bowl he wasnt great. For a couple of years, for HIS TIME and ERA, Namath was one of the best quarterbacks. He was a two time AFL MVP, a four time all star..he was drafted 1st for a reason, AFL rookie of the year then years later AFL comeback player of the year. -
A "Wildcat Strike" By The NFLPA Coming?

I didnt know that, next negotiations the networks are sure as hell going to consider this. And the competition among the Networks have been intense TOO DATE but things change. Who would have predicted the salary cap would decrease this year, very few, almost universally it was expected to keep going up. Networks aren't stupid and aren't charities, if they perceive risk to a players stoppage you can bet anything they will adjust DOWN their bids. You might want to also look at the profitability of the networks, not good. Technology is rapidly evolving and changing the business model. ESPN viewership is way down, and things arent getting any better. Since the return of basketball the ratings have been in a steady decline according to Forbes. A recent Harris poll had 39% of respondents said they are watching fewer games, 32% said more and 28% about the same. Of those watching less, 39% said the NBA has gotten too political, 19% because of the NBA-Chinese connection and 28% said it was boring without fans. That is where I am at, sports is entertainment, if I want to hear about societal problems I will watch the news. -
If You Could Take One Bill to Lunch...
RoyBatty is alive replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thurman's fumble lost the second Cowboy Super Bowl for the Bills, i was there for that one and pretty much knew we were going to lose after that play. -
Yeah everything NEw England does is the way to go for sure. So who was the wild child Defensive Tackle the Patriots signed in the past, Albert Haynesworth. How did that work out? Dareus is such a great gem and New England is so smart, why dont they sign Dareus to replace the one and only Beau Allen?

I have to agree with Joe in Winslow, i love what Levy did but he was severely out coached in the Super Bowls, esp the first one. Both Dallas teams were simply better than the Bills so I wont blame those on him. -
LOL She has won two in a row? So far this year she has won $165k, did you make that when you were 26? Yeah she is doing it as a hobby, LOL.

ESPN is in serious trouble. Serious ratings drop and financial issues. I watch ESPN for sports, a little politics/ societal issues are fine but it never ends. I dont care what athletes or former athletes think about the current political environment, they have zero more insight than 99% of the rest of the population. I find their arrogance of their opinions as laughable. And i avoid this website a lot because of non-stop politics, get sick of it. I hardly ever venture into PPP anymore and Shoutbox is almost as obnoxious only on the more liberal side but i periodically show up there and try avoiding politics. So yes if broadcasters decide to babble on and on beyond sports i will turn it off. If you dont believe what i said then why did you even bother asking what I would do? Sorry I have a life outside of football. And if you dont enjoy the crowd effect on a football game so be it, I do. So yes in your very dramatic fashion you can "call BS" on my entire response since of course you know so much about me. Hilarious, -
A "Wildcat Strike" By The NFLPA Coming?
RoyBatty is alive replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wlll watch materially less this year as the "lockdown" or whatever it is i have gotten new hobbies, probably down 50% in my nFL viewing, if there are no crowds, probably down 75% in NFL viewership, if the Bills suck, 95%. Continues this trend i might not watch anything at all after this season.. And i aint the only one. Look at the ratings of all sports, way down, look at ESPN that is rolling over, and Hard Nocks with a "sports starved" populace is down, what 70% from last year. -

No but we are going to stencil 'End Racism" on football fields, that will help. Is there anyone so freaking gullible that thinks if a racist reads "END RACISM" they will say to themselves, gee i never thought about that, I am going to change my hateful heart. -

dead horse 2X "Until there is a MASSIVE migration from football" As i have implied/said multiple times, there was massive migration away from Boxing and Horse Racing and it happened in a matter of a few decades...and it happens to all sports. And CTE and Football are real issues, football was almost banned for being too violent, with liability issues could happen. Football was almost banned 115 years ago. Start paying college players and guess what, they are de-facto employees and think of the Billions in CTE related lawsuits. Oh yeah, there could easily be a massive migration ways from football. Want to see what football could look like, watch the pro bowl. -
