The Dolphins need look no farther than their baseball brethren when they want to thanks someone. The Marlins swindled the people of Miami and the Dolphins are paying for it now...

 

Oh, and the Panthers own their stadium, too, and guess who's footing part of their renovation Tab?

LA Dolphins.   My mind is still blown how grubby handed these teams are wanting money for stadiums they own.

 

Well it's neo-conserv's pooping on them and the moderates and rich people hating dem's trying to appease them. Maybe you should rethink just who is benefiting from this. *hint hint its mostly minimum wage seasonal positions that will take the biggest blow, dolphin ownership, players, any1 making tons of money, will just move and get same concessions elsewhere.*

Between Raleigh saying no to the Panthers and Tallahassee saying no to the Dolphins, this could begin the slide of communities revolting against sports team owners, and who knows where this could lead. Maybe owners will have to foot more of the bills , but I think cities that want NFL teams will still have to pony up to a degree. Just wondering if a "coup" could take place and Charlotte could somehow grab one of the two Super Bowls that their talking about.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
