Football is a different animal.

I was talking to a friend about this last night and his claim was that it was more difficult to get to than the Palace was and the parking situation is terrible.

Little Caesars: Come see our empty insides before we do the same to you.

To answer your question, man o man I’m not nuts. I alluded to a change in public viewing habits, but now I’ll be more specific. The ratings drop can be attributed in part to factors like cord-cutting, streaming, and the growth of products like Red Zone. Yet even with that in mind, 17 of the Top 20 network programs…

Agreed. I think it’s sweet, and the baby is indeed adorable. I don’t get all the snark.

That’s actually lovely and dat baby is adorable

Then fire the players and replace them with players who won’t kneel during the anthem.
