  1. LOL, Someone needs to ask his opinion about the NFL and kneeling, see what a bumbling response he gives. In 1968, Musburger penned a column regarding Tommie Smith and John Carlos's protest of racial injustice in the United States with a Black Power salute on the medal stand during the 1968 Summer Olympics. In it he stated "Smith and Carlos looked like a couple of black-skinned storm troopers" who were "ignoble," "juvenile," and "unimaginative." In a 1999 article in The New York Times, Musburger stated that comparing the two to the Nazis was "harsh", but he stood by his criticism of the pair's action: According to Carlos, Musburger never apologized:
  2. Just FYI, Price of nat gas is going nowhere for years, probably decades, you can hedge out easily 5 years with the curve in very slight contango, not even worth the carry cost.
  3. Oh my god, i just looked who replaced him, Brent Musberger. Can that man please please retire already. I never liked him in his prime but he is dreadful now, forgets things, mixes up names constantly, relies on his good ole stories from 30 years ago.
  4. Rex actually for about the first 15 mintues of the broadcast was pretty entertaining, had some great anecdotes by by the early middle part of the game all his set pieces were exhausted and was totally lost for what to say. It was just embarrassing listening to him at that point.
  5. The ridiculous things people pick to fight about on these boards really never ceases to amaze me.
  6. Pretty amazing. I can certainly believe the entire career with a partially torn ACL but I cant believe it was 85% torn that entire time. He always was more of a straight ahead runner.
  7. Yeah well he might be overrated but he had 2 streaks of games , 2 Super Victories and 2 SB MVPs in his career that are going to get hin into the HOF.
  8. Very difficult sometimes to detect sarcasm here with al the bizarre and outlandish things people actually state and believe.
  9. I would as well, Rosen is, imo, clearly more ready to play in the NFL than Allen is, i would say probably a year ahead. Bills claim they can gix his accuracy issues, wel l they aint gonna fix them in a few woeks. Seriously, you dont see all the detractors of Allen, even here?
  10. Good call. I just looked it up, Barkley is by far the leader, here are the top 4 Barkley +140 Mayfield +400 Allen & Rosen Tied at +900
  11. I bet his odds of concussion are higher than OROY.
  12. LOL no kidding, The man missed one game due to a concussion mid-year and after over a month off football , couldnt even play in his bowl game, sorry that alone would take him out of my top ten. What he says and what he does is starting to grate on me as well. Fixing the NCAA, what a farce, what an ego.
  13. yes there is, it is on a three year rolling system
  14. Sports ebb and flow with popularity, to think football is magically immune is shortsighted at best. Remember when Baseball wa always going to be Amrica's Sport, what happened there? In the 1930s the three dominant sports were Horse Racing, Boxing and Baseball? Where is horse racing and boxing today? Attendance last year league overall was down half a million, Super Bowls adds adjusted for inflation went down. Not conjecture, facts. There is an entire litany of potential problems facing the NFL. 1) CTE 2) Technology threats to TV revenue source 3) Product itself: too many penalties, too many arbitrary calls and questionable officiating, what exactly is a catch, etc etc etc. It is a QB driven league, you dont have a top tier QB odds of success are incredibly diminish. I cut back watching for all these reasons. 4) The entire kneeling anthem thing, it has alienated some to think otherwise is either political agenda drive or just downright foolish. 5) Over saturation driven by greed. Thursday nights games are terrible, some Sundays you can watch NFL from about 9am til 10 pm. 6) Attended football games is getting excessively expensive and fan behavior is an issue. Oh yeah there are some real isues here.
  15. Dareus, when in the hell was he ever dedicated to his craft?
  16. I noticed how some of them didn't contribute to Trump until AFTER he won the election and contributed big to his Inaugural Committee
  17. Maybe so and even maybe I am a twit, then again someone that comes here so often and knows all the commonly used "TBDisms" is almost by definition a twit, at least imo, from one twit to another.
  18. What a second, before you spout off any further how do you know her breasts are fake?
  19. This is embarrassing to watch. Sad thing is, i bet he wouldnt be a half bad CFL player, I hat to admit it but certainly I would watch.
  20. Agree on the 100%. I dont know about the farm system for NFL, the product (NFL Europe) tends to be unwatchable and it is too expensive and the NFL has a free farm system in the the NCAA.
  21. Because at that point they are nothing more than employees, might as well just stop the charade and pay them.
  22. Yeah, inertia is a great thing on the way up. Average cost adjusted for inflation for the Super Bowl ads actually went down
  23. " But reports from OTAs and minicamp pegged Peterman -- he of five first-start-first-half interceptions -- to be the most serious contender to begin the season under center." ROFLMAO..wow, there might be some apoplectic posters here if that happens.
  24. Kim Pegula sholud be the face of t4he NFL owners, lets get real here. 1) She is hot 2) She is not 90 years old 3) Women and a minority (diversity blah blah blah) 4) She is tough, look at the way she handled Incognito coming here. She is a great marketer. I think she is smarter than Terry, one thing is for sure, she sure is a much much better interview than Terry could ever be. 5) And most importantly, she is hot.
