Nailed it. Niner fans always got the ‘wine & cheese’ snark and lets face it, the last decade or so has been a GREAT time to be a Bay Area sports fan. But we haven’t spent our time, to quote another poster, sniffing our own farts in a faux persecution bubble like Pats fans.

Yes. Depending on the school, conference etc. (unless NCAA has changed this is recent years) player scholarships are basically year to year at (school) Will deals.

I’m in CA too; IDK if Dianne is waiting to see how Gov race plays out, waiting picking her successor, or just going for “Oldest senator titles” but she ain’t getting any younger. let’s be honest no R is winning statewide office here for a LONG while. Especially now w the “top 2 regardless of Party” we do now.

Couldn’t this same exact statement be said for damn near all endorsements period, or if we’re being extra cynical, marketing as a concept?

Hatch(for now) McCain, Cochran for sure

2nded for that last part. IDK about NE- cause unless we think Football Jesus incarnate Tommy Brady is gonna Hang it up at the end of the year, Tyrod would have to sit at least a season.

Farther than her husband can throw one.

Say the Vols win out; Butch keep his job & get canned mid season NEXT year or is he out at end of season regardless of what he does?

Now THAT, is good, while dated, Kinja.

Doesn’t really matter. Teams can cut players for whatever reason and since NFL contracts aren’t guaranteed not much lost aside from cap space which is for all intents & purposes theoretical $$. So unless there is some language that bars specific reasons in nflpa contract..

“how do you prove something by its absence?” Easily actually

You mean Livingston I presume?

It’s fine. They didn’t actually have one.

Ahh. A little “big betting payouts if CM goes past round X”action. In that case..fully agree.

While I believe combat sports are always ripe for a good fix just by their nature, I personally can’t see Floyd giving up his undefeated status to an MMA fighter in what is essential a “turn over scratch your ass & get paid glorified charity/”what if”” match. Would he still have made a shit ton of money? Sure, but…

This is what I suspected. I remember when this was passed down as a punishment for Malice at the Palace & I thinking “ticket scalper out front of arena makes this kinda hard to stop”

WHile on probation sure, but even w/this increased visibility, which BTW I doubt how many people really ‘know’ his face(from the look of it he’s got a pretty generic face IMO) fast forward 3-4 years..you think anyone’s gonna take pause if he pops up at a game? Rodgers Centre maybe (facial recognition and all that) but…

Is the ban on MLB games just for the year or for life.
