The Vikings are actually pretty darn good Wades. That defense is dominant, Case Keenum looks more than capable and Latavius Murray and Jerrick McKinnon have done just enough in Cook's absence.
Don't try to have a rational discussion with wades.
Would you like to wager when the Vikings season ends? Would love some easy cash.
Brady or Elliott suspension? http://es.pn/2DH1yYG
Rodgers won't be punished. It wasn't his decision or his doing.
Talk of Packers losing several draft picks because of the Rodgers situation. Speculation on some sites. That would piss me off to no end about this staff.As far as the game goes, how many drops by our receivers? Poor play.
Looking forward to the playoffs. After watching some recent Eagles and Vikings games, I think my boyz have as good a chance as anybody. Frankly, the Saints and Rams scare me most.
wades:Had we made that Panthers-Patriots-playoffs bet, it would have been a push.I must have been out of my mind to think there was even a chance that the Patriots wouldn't make the playoffs in that weakarse division/conference. If you have Belichick and Brady, you're a mortal lock - period. It's like when the Bulls had Jackson and Jordan.As for the Panthers, I think they are quite underrated. Great front 7 on D, solid O line, dynamic QB, very good special teams. Just enough flaws to keep games too interesting for this Panthers fan, but a darn good team. Looking forward to the playoffs. After watching some recent Eagles and Vikings games, I think my boyz have as good a chance as anybody. Frankly, the Saints and Rams scare me most.
The Panthers will bring the highest price of any team ever sold in one of the 4 major American sports leagues. Numerous groups already have said they want to buy them despite knowing that the price will be astronomical.There has been talk of $3 billion - which would be 50% more than the Clippers, the previous highest-price sale. I wouldn't be surprised.
Every time the sports franchise "bubble" gets brought up, the bear-marketers end up looking stupid, and prices keep going up and up and up. BUUUUT at the risk of sounding ignorant - we have to be getting there, don't we? From my understanding, the Panthers' key selling point will be their ability to escape Charlotte without much cost, to enable them to either fleece a new stadium from NC or elsewhere. But we just saw two teams get shoehorned into LA for lack of better options. There is no hot, go-to market without a team right now. Both LA and LV got their teams, but so far the whole thing has been met with a shrug. That charade might finally be winding down.And all the other indicators suggest this is not as great an investment as it used to be. From a revenue standpoint, broadcasters are shedding personnel to pay for the inflated tv contracts. That will eventually filter back to the franchises as the deals come up. Putting the anthem protest aside, market saturation, middling product, brain injuries are all problems that aren't going to go away soon. And from a cost standpoint, the current CBA runs through 2021, and I don't see any way the owners get this good of a deal again. From a 30,000 ft standpoint, the NFL has the most ownership friendly agreement in sports, and football is the most brutal, injury prone and health hazardous sport we have. In a vacuum, you'd have to think that the NFL's CBAs start to migrate at least partially toward a MLB-style model of loose salary caps and guaranteed contracts. Even small movements in that direction could have pretty big impacts on the bottom line.If Richardson can get $2.5 billion, good for him, I guess - but its hard to see how these franchises predict to enjoy the kind of profit growth for the next ten years that they have over the last ten.
Go Panthers! (And I don't mean go to St. Louis or San Diego!)
Not to derail, but does anyone really think St Louis would get another team? They’ve lost two teams in the last 30 years, they aren’t that big of a market nor a growing market and they drew pretty horribly their last years. So I don’t see it even as a make-good.I think International or San Antonio would be the most likely
Oakland...
