DEAD!

Everyone's going to be real sad when an entire section of seating collapses and dozens of people die. And then Dan Snyder successfully sues to keep any record of deferred maintenance from being exposed so he doesn't go to prison.

 

The stadium situation for WFT feels all of a sudden dire. If you're resorting to portable steel barriers to keep fans from falling onto the players, you're not acting responsibly with anyone's safety in mind. That no one was hurt in that situation is a miracle.  Not to mention that the level of flooding in that suite is really, really bad! Who knows where all of that water went, where it's currently sitting, and what it's currently doing the structural integrity of what's underneath?

 

I wouldn't go to FedEx either. And if FedEx weren't such a garbage service, they should take their name of the stadium (though now it's kind of apt).

Steel railing looks to be a common thing to use, but if that is the ONLY barrier (no foundation) and you have that many people leaning over like that, you are asking for trouble

I'm more impressed by his wife's fertility and willingness to be constantly barefoot and pregnant than by the ridiculous potency of his sperm.  If any of his kids grow up to be meaningful NFL players then maybe he should be put in the hall.  Until then, he can just have a display in the hall rather than being actually inducted - maybe a glass encasement with a game-worn uniform from SD and IND, and a semen sample.

 

The semen sample might the only way Rivers will be in the hall of fame.

If number of kids was a stat and stats matter, Phillip Rivers would be a first-ballot, legendary status HOF.

It's going to be fun looking back on this as the COVID era of sports.

The really quirky seasons seem to stand out more. Like the 1981 and 1994 MLB seasons, the 2004-5 NHL lockout. 

In the past two years or so, just about every sport has been affected in way we look back and think,  did that really take place?

Yessir! I was a big fan. I also got the trading card sets.

Please tell me you have Kerwin Bell?

Just for kicks I would like to see an OKC team just so they can play Seattle.... 

He's jealous of Lincoln Reily

I like that the Bills don't even bother.

Nor the Lions.... but both Detroit and Buffalo are border towns so, why bother, right?

That "toronto legacy" bit was more laughable than anything Jim Basillie tried to pull.

Looking forward to the NYCFC World Series MLS Cup pennant being unveiled.

One more than the New England Revolution....

Send them to the parking lot.

It would be funny (to at least me) if Belichick got one without Brady, one year after Brady got one without him, again throwing into doubt who was more responsible.

.... and what if it was a Pats-Bucs super bowl?

Here's a few I dislike more:

 

This gets my vote for all-time worst uniform in NHL history. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aside from the shoulder patch, this really isn't a bad jersey.... just not what I would associate with the Florida Panthers.

I guess the "BOLTS" threads are ok 

(pun intended)

The Browns are the biggest disappointment this season, right? Has to be.

A sentence I did not think would be possible... even during the 0-16 season.

I get the argument of wanting to get the other team uncomfortable but our guys will be uncomfortable too! In the States we don't play outside that time of year for obvious reasons, and the European winter leagues do not see those sorts of conditions. IDK, I really can't not see yet another Pulisic injury happening here on a frozen pitch, and bone rattling chill. 

 

I also get the home-field advantage thing, but Jesus, the Costa Rica thing at RBA is really living in their heads forever huh. The center of American soccer shifting from Europhile big cities to college football country has been an interesting subplot over the past 5 or so years, but this playing USMNT games exclusively in Middle America is taking that a little too far. And if you'd like to win the battles for dual-national recruiting, seems like running away screaming from any Hispanic neighborhoods is maybe not going to help.

This is the part as to why it the US should NOT emulate what Canada did.  With the exception of maybe the west coast, it snows everywhere else for most of winter. Yes, there are some places in Europe that gets cold and gets snow, but those games don't happen very often.

I did find quite interesting that Alphonso Davies went from playing a cold game in Edmonton to playing a snowy game in Kyiv. 

Please... DO IT!

My biggest thought about the Bengals-Raiders game yesterday is they need to end the indoor grass experiment tomorrow and put in some artificial turf. The grass in that place is dangerous and I was nervous Joe Burrow was gonna retear his acl the entire game. 

Actually, the Raiders play on a grass surface that rolls in and out of the stadium much like Arizona's but I don't hear complaints there. Also, UNLV plays on an artificial surface below.  

But then again, maintaining a lawn in the desert isn't always a practical thing to do. 

I guess it's too late to say , "Puke" Walton?

Personally I prefer the prototype version

If only you have shown the full body, then you would have added "skate"

I can't think of another sports organization that has a word that you feel you have seen screwed like CONCACAF-ed.

I’m only rooting for this to be successful IOT expose the rest of the NFL’s scum and finally get Dan Sneider the ax.

If this is a lawsuit about wrongful termination, then I would have laughed at Gruden and I would like to laugh at this lawsuit as well. However, I think the bigger picture isn't the lawsuit,  but what else comes out.

Either Rodgers is really that obtuse, or he is playing mind games.

The only person with the agenda in this case is Rodgers. Not the NFL, not Dr Fauci, not the CDC, not Bill Gates, not Major League Baseball...

What else does Tnak know that we don't?
