the nfl on tv was alot different in the 80's. the nfc was on cbs, while the afc was on nbc. you would turn on the nfl today at 1pm and hear brent musburger say.."you are looking live at veteran's stadium, as the eagle's take on the redskins". no nfl suday ticket, so if you didn't want to watch that game, you could switch to watch the steelers vs oilers on nbc. and monday night football. it was always like the cowboys vs chiefs. in the late 80's early 90's in the intro they would have clips of an interview with one of the player's, example troy aikmen. they would always say "i think we have a team that can go all the way this year". frank gifford and dan deirdorf called the games then. memory lane.

yeah, and if you didn't stay up you had to read the paper the next AM to find out who won.

people would get so fugin' pissed at what game they were showing, that stations had to take a phone poll and the game with the most votes was the one they would show and tell people that highest vote total won it to keep them from getting pissed.

If you wanted highlights you had to watch George Michaels Sports machine at 11:30 pm ot see extended highlights. but in that 30 minutes it was only half football and the other half the other sports. So each game got like 30 seconds of highlights. And you had to stay up late to get that.

And we had to bet on games via the newspaper cuz that was the only method available for the lines.

And the bars had .10 wings and $1 drafts for MNF.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
