My 3rd point, second bullet:

What are you basing that on? A 2PM kickoff in London is 11PM in Tokyo and 10PM (or maybe 9) in Hong Kong

Yeah they are.... You pay $X per game, not a fixed rate for the season. So you pay for 9 games (you pay full price for 2 exhibition games) vs. 10, but the gate is like the 8th biggest source of revenue for the NFL so they don’t give a shit.

No you wouldn’t because the NFL isn’t that dumb. The NFL isn’t going to violate the terms of their lease (which is the only thing that matters). The only way this works is if the lease allows it.

While I appreciate that, you do realize that everything you said is immaterial. I was just making the point that NFL fans travel and 2 hours is nothing.

1) So how many 80,000 seat, NFL ready stadiums do you think exist in Southern Georgia, or Milwaukee for that matter (o is the answer for both)? I mean it costs tens of millions to retrofit a college stadium for this to be a recurring basis, and all but a few have the capacity and what exactly is the benefit of…

No. Writers with contracts are not being laid off because they have a contract so they have to be paid regardless. Anyone ESPN could cut with a tiny severance package (most of the people who’s names you don’t know) were let go.

No, there is never real advance warning when the close an entire division for the insider trading reasons, disgruntled employees doing harm, etc..

It wasn’t the easiest replay review (I get why the guys on the field missed it) but at the same time I saw people post a clear image with a video taken on their phone of their TV, using their DVR within 10 minutes of the review. If you can do that, surely a competent replay official who had 10 minutes to use his…

Except it was a block in the back of a guy who directly in front (maybe 3 yards) away from the guy with the ball... This wasn’t some block in the back off to the side setting up the wall. If the guy going in for a potential tackle is clocked from behind and its missed, then that means none of the officials were…

Unlike the NFL, the college conferences don’t give a crap about the lines. I mean they don’t require detailed reporting of injuries, like the NFL does, which is solely to provide for betting. Also, the NCAA hides behind their “they are students” BS so much that they go out of their way since to thwart gambling since…

We never got to see a reply because one didn’t exist. Games on ESPN U don’t have the same number of cameras as Sunday Night Football. On that TD it was clearly iffy.... Since you are off angle could the tip of the ball touched the edge of the goal line, yes. Could he have been 6 inches short, yes. Could a down the…

You are right its impossible...

Because Duke’s stadium is a 1 tier bowl, with a single press box and there isn’t a place for a camera on that side outside of a field level one.

Please, while 4 editors aren’t insignificant, a site can function with editor turnover. However when they lose their best writers (Wesley Morris, Rembert Browne, and Andy Greenwald (who after the announcement was made said he had already given notice) and the two biggest voices behind it (Simmons and Fierman)... that…

He has an invalid license. Not the same as not having one. Could mean he has a driver’s license but for autos not motorcycles, or he moved to Texas X months ago but never changed his license since his old one had expired, or his license was simply expired....

He wasn’t driving without a license, he was driving with an invalid license (most likely he had a driver’s license, but for automobiles not motorcycles, or it could have simply been expired) so yeah I think that could be considered minor.

No way on Jacoby. The daily radio show with Jalen is too good to give up.

Do you really want to compare the two??? Arrietta was 26 in 2012 pitching for an organization that has gotten less out of drafted pitchers than almost any team in the league. He was also incredibly unlucky with a triple treat of bad luck: .320 BABIP (which is .50 points above what he did in 2011 and 2014), 14.5% HR/FB…

Singletary was a disaster....
