Why do these idiot House Judiciary Commitee democrates think that they need to be involved in the NFL now. People made contracts and were paid what the market allowed at the time the contracts were made. They CHOOSE to play a rough sport. Some of the to stupid to do anything other than play in that rough sport. The government needs to stay the hell out of the NFL.

I don't think the NFL is willing to give up those 27 stadiums though.

Are taxpayer dollars ever used for building the glorious stadiums that the NFL plays in?

Yes.

When you get funding via the government to build your arena, then you pretty much open the door for the government to interfere.

When Spector intervened with the NFL Network to force them to broadcast their exclusive Thursday night games on local channels for the respective teams that were playing, where was the indignation for the "government interference?"

Me, personally, I have no problem with someone holding Goodell's feet to the fire over how retired NFL players are taken care of, or the lack thereof. If the NFL had been doing right by those retired players, then you wouldn't have organizations like Gridiron Greats doing it for them

OK. I read the article on ESPN.com regarding Goodell and DeMaurice Smith meeting with congress in regards to head injuries leading to neurological disease later in a player's life...

I posted about this previously

Noticed the article had what is now my current avatar as the headline picture and found it an interesting read.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
