I guess it’s the unpopular take, judging by other comments, but Pierce is 100% right on this one.
Forget IT. The Celtics should play a 7 minute long Billy King video tribute during every single home game.
I don’t see what the big deal is. Back when Jim Abbott was pitching the crowd would always give him a hand.
But WHO DECIDES during and even BEFORE a season which teams are ranked or not? That’s where the skewing begins, with preseason polls that overinflate the value of overhyped teams and conferences that turn into dog poo by Week Three of, you know, ACTUAL GAME PLAY.
A) UCF would have to know years in advance how good potential opponents would be. They had Georgia Tech on their calendar this year (wiped out by one of the hurricanes), who was a Top 10 team right around when the game was booked.
How lucky do you feel about getting out before the real crash happens? It’s going to happen in a blink of the eye.
The cynical part of me wonders if they offered to cover current all future medical costs above and beyond existing player health insurance, as long as he doesn’t come out and say “yeah, I was paralyzed playing in the NFL.”
I don’t get the hand wringing on this thing anymore. It’s actually a very clear rule and has been enforced perfectly consistently for years now. Every team has had it go against them on a big play at least once. You have to have control of the ball all the way to the ground. They put the rule in there exactly so there…
I wish every Masshole who treats Bob Fucking Kraft as if he were a saint; the guy who tried to move the team to fucking Hartford, the guy who was one of the first to legitimize Trump, the guy who more than anyone is why Goodell is commissioner, would line up and take turns eating my ass. Brady uses PEDs btw.
Now, I may simply be a small-town country lawyer and I don’t quite get how things go in your big city courthouses but reading over this story I don’t quite see that anyone is alleging a sexual assault took place but, rather, some inappropriate workplace emails were sent.
I’m just glad we’re living in a society where standards are changing and that sort of behaviour is no longer acceptable. I suppose I can just hope that current standards hold and my kids grow up in a world where no basketball players spend four years at Kentucky.
The problem with the proposal is that the NFL is literally trying to bribe them to stop protesting. It’s not even an up-front thing, this league that prints money and pays Goodell $40M+ a year to be terrible at his job would only offer to spread it over six years. Offering to spend $15M a year on impoverished…
Tennessee could be on the hook for thirty million dollars to a coach they fired, a coach that never showed up and a fired athletic director, but remember, it’s just not feasible to pay players.
The same two coaches who coached Aaron Hernandez are vouching for this guy. Hell of a character reference.
God this shit drives me crazy. I guess it’s not surprising coming from a group of businessmen who have spent their lives being vastly overpaid. It’s the same shit that happens at big companies everywhere. Somebody, please, explain to me what evidence there is that Roger Goodell is better at this job than someone who…
No one can ever complain about overpaid players ever again, not when the worst commissioner in professional sports is set to make $50 mil/year.
