What’s good for the NFL, even though it’s the most popular league in America, isn’t what’s good for other sports leagues. I think MLS would be better off in the long term if they could build a couple of powerhouse, iconic clubs off the backs of rich people who have cash to burn. And it’s not like the cheap clubs could…

As someone who knows nothing about UFC, can someone enlighten me as to why Aldo is going at +150 (as of Monday) in Vegas? Is it really all just hype?

Here in the states, people keep showing up to Cleveland Browns games (and not just fans of the opposing team).

It also looked like the Ravens’ punt returner was down before he fumbled, but the refs did not overturn that and Arizona went and scored a touchdown.

Snob here. We criticize it because we want it to improve to the point where it becomes watchable on TV. The current structure of the league, particularly the salary cap, prevent it from improving that much.

The franchise tag gives the Colts all the leverage, though. Assuming the market value offer is on the table, Luck wouldn’t seriously consider sitting out games just to move teams, right?

I don’t think anyone actually knows which CBs are good. It seems like of the guys bought for at least £15m, over half of them suck. City, of course, have spent nearly £100m on two of them over the past two years.

As an Arsenal fan, I don’t really care to join the shouting at Diego Costa; in fact, I enjoy watching his insanity on full display against anyone else. What I’m upset about is that the assistant referees are unable to spot Costa trying to rip Koscielny’s face off for a good couple of seconds with no obstruction…

Stop posting my secrets! I think over half of the teams I’ve won all four games with have had Shannon Sharpe, he’s completely unstoppable, and I always get a TE earlier than the Legend round. And it’s super important to get the right OLB/DL for your base defense, people that don’t take this into account are the…

Don’t forget the three 50/50 Arsenal penalty claims that Mike Dean laughs off or the dirty tackle that only gets a yellow card.

The worst part is that Arsenal will come to Stamford Bridge on Saturday morning - after a Wednesday trip to Croatia - and proceed to not only shit the bed and lose 1-0, but right the Chelsea ship.

Agree with all these points, but in my view it’s at least somewhat defensible based on the fact that you have three plays with only the one timeout.

The fourth one was easily the worst, if you didn’t care enough at the time to pick it up you probably shouldn’t now. The Telltale series was pretty good, though.

All time great comment.

A few things that I still have doubts about (or you could say, as an Arsenal fan, clinging to):

It’s not like it’s balanced as is, though, it’s already designed to give tougher schedules to better teams (and in theory more marquee matchups). The Cowboys have to play two division winners while the Eagles get teams that finished 2nd.

Well, I wouldn’t want the Jets or Giants to move conferences; they have great division rivalries. They should stop assigning two games against teams that finished in the same place in their divisions and just subjectively make them games people want to watch. That way we could have Jets/Giants every year.

Why is the NFL always reluctant to embrace such obvious geographic rivalries? It’s stupid that the Jets and Giants only play once every four years, same for Raiders/49ers, Cowboys/Texans, Dolphins/Bucs, Chiefs/Rams, Ravens/Washington, etc. We Giants fans don’t hate the Jets nearly enough; I shouldn’t feel any sympathy…

Why the hell do people even partake in early access?
