  1. Not only are they at the top spot, they are ahead by miles in a marathon. They have almost double the revenue of the next closest sport worldwide, which is MLB or NBA depending on which year as they keep going back and forth. On top of that, forget the National Pastime, the NFL is the National Obsession. They are non-stop, all the time without any offseason. It's NFL season 24/7/365. During the NHL, MLB or NBA finals, the NFL is still the most talked about thing in sports. 75 of the top 100 watched shows every year in the US are NFL games and the NFL draft on day 1 averaged more viewers than the NBA and NHL finals and not much less than the World Series. It's kinda insane actually.
  2. Perhaps they think labor peace is better for the game and fans long term than the minor gains they would be getting. When you are arguing that hundreds of millions isn't enough, I think the average fan would be hard pressed to take their side...or really the owners side. Millionaires vs. Billionaires doesn't really resonate with fans if that's the cause of them not playing and being able to consume the product.
  3. He doesn't suck but he should be a depth player not the starter. Forrest was playing really well in 2022 and started 11 games then got hurt in his 5th game in 2023 and fractured his shoulder which sidelined him for the rest of the year. New coaching staff came in last year and as we know they have different opinions or different things he was being asked to do in the scheme so even tho he was healthy he didn't get a lot of playing time. I am assuming the Bills think he is a good scheme fit and expect he will be more like the player he was before he got injured. Considering their track record of DB coaching I'll defer to their judgement.
  4. Darrick is a better player, Damar knows the system and has McD's trust.
  5. I never understand athletes that get paid millions in their prime that I am in better shape than at age 50. Boggles my mind.
  6. Because things like signing bonuses and other up front guaranteed money come directly from the owners pockets since they are paid up front and many of the owners either don't have that type of money to spend or don't want to spend it.
  7. And again, what is said in the witness statement and whether that word is used has no relevance as to if it is collusion. Collusion is based on an action, not a word being used or not being used by witnesses. Oh, so you are claiming the owners went to the NFLPA and told them they were working together to ensure we are going to keep prices down? Of course they didn't. So yeah, it was in secret between the parties involved. And that perfectly fits the description of what collusion in.
  8. Honestly can't believe anyone pays for this when there are so many options out there that don't cost a penny.
  9. A "magical weekend"? Are you hooking up with him or something? 🤣🤣
  10. I can definitely see why he wanted to get her pregnant.
  11. I said he will likely hit double digit TDs once more, but that's it.
  12. These women with their money grabs because they see other people getting paid are disgusting and there should be criminal penalties for it. They should be put in jail if it's found they are filing false claims. Only way it's going to stop, when there are real consequences for it.
  13. Not understanding how sports work is a problem for most people. Just because you improved, doesn't mean that you are going to hit the same numbers every year. Mookie Betts, one of the best baseball players in the last decade, hit .346 in 2018 for the Red Sox and led the league in batting average. He's never come close to that again before or since. It was a career outlier. Calvin Johnson caught 122 balls and had 1964 yards receiving in 2012. Both led the NFL. Never approached those numbers before or after. Virtually every good athlete has them. Seasons where every thing comes together and you get a magical statistical season. I am willing to bet Cook's will be last year with his 18 TDs. I will bet he probably only hits double digits for TDs again no more than once in his career.
  14. How was it not Tasker, the best special teams player in the history of the NFL?
  15. That's a really poor quality one... I've bought several on DH Gate that are indistinguishable from the real thing, right down to the NFL logo on the chest plate by the neck and the jersey material.
