Mr. WEO Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 He is easily the most successful and therefore the greatest pro league commissioner ever. These owners would pay him whatever he asked to take these punches for them and make them even more rich. To Terry and the rest...he is simply priceless. 1 2 Quote

Beast Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Tomorrow’s headlines….. The LA Chargers will be playing back-to-back games on the Moon in 2026. The first, being a home game against the Chiefs on a Sunday afternoon snd the second being a “ road game”, 4 days later, on Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night football , against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills were offered a bye week before or after the game but decided to use it later in the year. Edited October 18, 2023 by Beast 1 Quote

Expand I don’t think Sunday Ticket gets you games on separate streaming services, like Peacock. The idea there is to trap us into getting additional services so the NFL can cut deals all over in an attempt to force us to subscribe with each. Strangely, I enjoy Dan Patrick in the morning, but at some point recently his show became delayed by a day on Peacock. I’m not sure if I would get the current day’s show by signing up, but I refuse to do that now because I don’t like the pressure they try to apply. As for the draft, I haven’t been to one yet but Nashville looked awesome! Detroit? I think I’m busy for that one.

I’ve watched the Tour for decades and enjoyed the “tourism” aspect more than the actual racing. I loved all of Paul Sherwen’s commentary on the various little towns, etc. It wasn’t until much more recently that I learned he married a girl I was seeing right after college. We were just tennis and drinking buddies. Small world! RIP Edited October 18, 2023 by Augie 1 Quote
