What are your thoughts on purchasing (or investing, as some would say) NFTs? There are lot of folks who've bought into the NBA's Top Shot promotion last year, for example. More recently, there's all the scuttlebutt about Bored Apes turning into a musical act - you know, like the Archies or Gorillaz. So - are NFTs all that, or just another passing fad?

Thoughts from the Huddle is that everybody pretty much likes (in no particular order): Tony Romo, Greg Olsen, Skip Caray, Chip Caray.... folks seem to hate Troy Aikman, Booger, and whoever is the fourth string FOX commentary team that gets stuck calling the Panthers games. Here's one person who has some praise for Joe Buck: https://defector.com/its-time-i-lived-my-truth-i-love-joe-buck/ While not a sports announcer, I have respect for Ryan Seacrest's hosting abilities. Like Dick Clark before him, having years of radio experience is a fantastic introduction to being able to be a professional host. Don't overshadow the event, hit the post, get out on time. (Things that Tyra on DWTS is still struggling with, but that's in a different thread) I don't know if the sports announcing booth should require former players/coaches to be on the microphone. It's certainly worked for when FOX NFL started, and CBS and everyone else seemed to follow their lead. But those folks are due to retire eventually -- who would be next in line to step up? The Mannings are too entertaining to be locked into "making football picks"....

Reboot your phone. If it's a Samsung phone, reboot into System mode and wipe the cache partition (this should probably be done after every system patch/update, but that's up to you)

"KEEP POUNDING" <exits>

contract question: when they say "its a one year deal", does that mean "through the end of this season" or literally through Nov 2022?

Rather have an owner that cares and tries to move the needle than one who sits idly by and lets things play out.

on the bright side --- we had salary cap room for this, just in case we needed it this year, right?

With respect for the 2nd half of the season, this changes everything.

Money fixes a lot. so does honesty

humor is apparently lost on some. that's okay.

Maybe it's not to be QB. Maybe they brought him in for a photo session to update the banner at the stadium?

<referencing the alleged info out of NE> Maybe Sam could sit with Cam to review it?

NFL Teams Who Need to Find a New Head Coach in 2022 https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2950258-nfl-teams-who-need-to-find-a-new-head-coach-in-2022

As @Zod and others will probably attest, image licensing and copyright negotiations can get complicated. It's easier to go with the photos generated internally than it is to license from a third party. that's not even taking into account the work that goes into cropping/zooming/adjusting for banner production

"Every" = except Seifert. "The only one who didn't" = nice save

it makes me happy to hear KEEP POUNDING on away game broadcasts. it's not often heard on home game broadcasts. is it because fans who make the effort to go to an away game are more invested in the team? /shrug/

is there blame to be had on the coaching staff? sure. is there blame to be had on the field, where a few high-expectation players are just not performing to the best of their ability? definitely. will changing coaching improve the on-field play? still to be seen... has there been any talk of a Players-Only meeting happening soon? If not, there probably should be. I'm sure Robbie has something to say - and I'd like to hear it.

Of all of this season's matchups, this is one that I had a conflict that led me to not be able to watch almost all of the game. It sounds like I didn't miss anything worthwhile other than a bit of a meltdown

are the Pats playing dirty? (Not able to watch the game fully)

I'm still going to watch. i may not be happy about it, but I'm going to watch

Blame CBS not covering the NFC moreso than they not being good announcers. they don't see these names often in their coverage.
