I pointed that out to you in hopes that you think before you pop in here next time to scold people. Just go and enjoy the game, is that so difficult?

Agree. The only other one you could make a case for is Hyde. And like others have pointed out, the way the voting works they are competing against each other for votes so highly unlikely both could get 1st team (maybe in a world where Byard doesn’t exist.)

Been to almost every home game since ‘07. People like you big-timing other fans and questioning their fandom almost makes me ashamed to be in the same stadium as you.

The Texans are a disgrace.

Don’t know about Muki - he very well could be credible. But Massare is a BS artist, a clout chaser, a nobody of the lowest order.

True, but some outlets are more trustworthy than others. Trainwreck are wannabe barstool clowns.

I trust PFF grades about as much as I trust QBR for evaluating QB performance.

very good unit stats, and yet still lost to the worst team in the NFL. Sorry, they’ll need to win a few more this year to convince me.

Nicknames are fun and cool if they come about organically. Campaigning and brainstorming nicknames is lame.

I never said i wouldn’t want to see it. I hate Goodell I would welcome a nationally televised embarrassment like that.

Lol yes. i think you hit the AM sports radio caller superfecta with those quotes. All meaningless BS.

Exactly. For all the high praise the Athletic has received for its business model over the last few years, especially towards its beginning, it doesn’t appear to be very groundbreaking or innovative. They stripped talent from everywhere using their giant well of VC cash to outbid everyone else, especially the local papers (Tim Graham brags all the time how well he’s paid to trolls on twitter.) Doing that of course burned through mountains of that cash, but it worked out for the founders and angel investors with this deal.

Oh I know - selective memory it seems. Another quote from the Defector article since I know most can’t read it: “Funded from the very beginning by hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital money, The Athletic never needed to be profitable (in 2018, The Athletic said it was profitable; in the beginning of 2020, it said it expected to be profitable in 2020; it was reported that the company lost $95 million in 2019 and 2020; now The Athletic says it expects to be profitable in 2023), it just needed to maintain the promise of future profitability in order to keep investors on the hook while a buyer was found. This is exactly what happened, and now The New York Times is set to buy the company for $550 million (a definite discount from its previous $800 million valuation, but a win nonetheless for the founders and investors who now get to cash out.”

True, but have 2 teams ever been in this particular situation before? If Jax wins and they really try to pull this, heads will roll.

NYT politics aside, this is pretty funny considering all the brash s**t talking the founders of the Athletic were doing just a few years ago: “We will wait out every local paper out and let them continuously bleed until we are the last ones standing,” Alex Mather, a co-founder of The Athletic, told The New York Times in 2017. “We will suck them dry of their best talent at every moment. We will make business extremely difficult for them.” Quote from this article over at Defector that also (surprise) says the employees knew next to nothing about this deal. (Note: paywall, but you may be able to view for free) The Athletic has yet to turn a profit. https://defector.com/no-one-knows-anything-staffers-at-the-athletic-wait-in-the-dark-following-nyt-deal/ edit: @Mr. WEO beat me to the quote 😄

Crafty. I wouldn’t put it past him.

you got me curious so I looked around a bit - NBA rulebook is ~68 pages (in pdf format.)

Trust that the league office has already made it crystal clear to both teams that pulling this stunt will result in severe penalties. Not gonna happen.

Agree with you. On offense, I’ll say Gabriel Davis.

pretty strong denial from Rodgers. Doesn’t matter, people all over the place are taking this rumor and running with it. reminds me of the cadre of HOF voters (including Buff’s own Vic Carucci) who kept TO out of the Hall for a couple years out of spite because they didn’t like his personality and how he interacted with the media. TO was a slam dunk, no-brainer 1st ballot HOFer at his position. But nah, some media manbabies had to prove a point and avenge their hurt feelings. Never read a thing Vic wrote after that debacle.

Ooof. That’s unfortunate. Almost feel sorry for Jags fans. Almost.

love how ol’ dean here blames all this entitlement on youth and math in a profession absolutely rife with cronyism and nepotism. Keep yellin’ at those clouds geezer.

completely bogus. There is zero chance he would even consider doing this; he’d be reviled by his teammates for one. Boomer is FOS.

Seems correct. A lot of other “frontrunners” lost some mystifying games to basement dwellers too though. Weird season.

we have a guy to play on the other side of Diggs already next year named Gabriel Davis. No need to trade for another reason to keep Davis off the field, especially one like Ridley who’s clearly going through some off-field stuff. Ridley also will command big dollars, money that Buffalo needs to pay Diggs eventually. Thanks for changing your title by the way 🙄
