Weird stuff considering they sold their future for the guy.

I love rock music, it’s a huge part of my life, so I’m not putting it down. Here’s the issue, those rappers might be “old”, but social media is abuzz about their performance right now. That doesn’t happen with Metallica. Everyone 50 and under knew those songs, people of both genders, and fans of all music genres. That just isn’t the reality of Metallica. My point was that I’d love to see different genres, but not interested in cross genre collaborations. Seeing Britney Spears perform with Aerosmith for example, was not one of halftime’s finest moments.

Love this idea, but let them perform independently. I don’t need the type of collaboration where country stars are rapping and vice versa.

I hate country 😂 at least the new stuff, and that’s what we’d get at halftime.

Yeah, I loved the Sopranos show, but it seemed like a weird connection for selling an electric pickup truck. It’s really about the star power, but funny to me regardless. I don’t expect the peak of electric truck sales to be in urban New Jersey, or the average buyer to be a Sopranos fan.

Meh, he always seems angry. That’s part of why he’s so good. If throwing pretzels at opposing fans is classy, then yes she is 😂

Expect Mrs.Stafford to go all Gisele and say Matt’s receivers failed him on social media.

OBJ out with injury and Ramsey getting burned. Sounds about right.

I worry the Rams have a huge experience advantage. They have the vet QB against a young cocky Bengals team.

This has the makings of a blowout.

Mayfield stinks, bur OBJ is a front runner. He gave up on NY and Cleveland. He’s on a Super Bowl team his first year in LA. Hasn’t faced any tough times. The effort is there now, and he’s always had the talent. Just my opinion.

Awesome to see Stafford throw a Super Bowl TD, equally as gross to see OBJ catch one.

This might look like the last Rams Super Bowl. I’m not convinced the Bengals can do much on offense.

Ironically the Bengals first series on defense showed exactly why we aren’t.

No way, it’s easy to get that ripped at 50 😂.

He’s always been a piece of work.

This Rock bit is lame. Super cheesy, wrestling stuff.

To answer the OP, I don’t think this means Reich is on the hot seat. He will be on the hot seat if Wentz is his QB another season though.

You make valid points. There’s no way to prove these games hurt player health. I can’t make an argument on that either way. I just believe that travel must have a huge impact on teams. You’re correct in saying that league scheduling has never been equal, but asking a select group of teams to travel overseas seems like a disadvantage. I’m viewing this from a personal prospective. Travel can be tough on the body, especially when it involves major time zone changes. I’d assume there’s some recovery time involved that could impact the next game. The NFL is unique in its short season, making rest, recovery, and staying on schedule more important. I wouldn’t make this argument for other major sports. Don’t be mistaken, I’m not even advocating for an end to these games, I’m just questioning where they’re going with this. The idea of an NFL team in Europe is a bit ambitious, if the league claims players matter. There are valid player related reasons not to put a team overseas.

McVay will stick around. I understand wanting to spend time with family, but a lot of sacrifices are made when you get into coaching. I don’t think these guys are wired to give up coaching. They know what they’re getting into from the start. I’d say he’s either looking to escape a sinking ship or for a huge contract. This could true, the only reason I’m skeptical about the family thing is his timing. Super Bowl week is an interesting time to mention this. It made the headlines, which is perfect for contract negotiations.

I agree, I’m just responding to the idea that Watt might regret signing with the Cards. They gave him the best offer. I don’t know the guy, but when your bank account looks good, that might eliminate regret of not winning a title. I think every athlete wants to win, but money and marketing opportunities matter. I think Watt cares deeply about promoting himself, and Buffalo isn’t the place to do that, although I could be wrong.

I could be wrong, but I think Watt enjoyed the publicity he received from joining the Cards. I wouldn’t be shocked if that was his priority. The Cards never should have been his number one option if he wanted a real title contender.

I never worried about Europe embracing the NFL. I’m sure enough Europeans enjoy football to buy tickets for the occasional oversees game. I’m happy for them to see live NFL action. My concern is the money grab nature of it. It’s great for European fans, but completely ignores player safety, quality of play, and maintaining an equal playing field. Sending teams to Europe during the regular season while adding an extra week of play does nothing to increase quality of play. There will be a mass exodus of fans over the next several decades if they destroy the on field product with money grabs. Money is great, but the lust for more can also destroy a good thing.

This debate happens on the board whenever one of these incidents occur. I just struggle with people being upset about a long sentence, without offering real alternatives. I’m in favor of rehabilitation and mental health, but how should that look? The best thing for society can be getting someone off the street, so others aren’t victimized. People love talking about compassion and mental illness, but I don’t hear solutions. I hear sorrow over his sentence, without anyone saying what should be done. Mandatory weekly visits to a therapists couch isn’t enough. I also remind people that mental illness doesn’t always equal violence, and not all violence is committed by the mentally ill.

I think he’ll continue to improve if some slight adjustments are made to the offense. There’s talk about Knox being solely a big play guy, but some of that has to do with Daboll’s offense. We never utilized him in the way other tight ends are used these days.
