Time is not a luxury leagues like this have. They are not an established, 50-100+ year old league where a rarity like this has a low rate of occurrence in relation to the age of the league . This was the first full season and when a 4-6 team gets into the playoffs over a 7-3 team in an 8-team league, due to no other reason than a divisional split, it's more likely to turn fans away than to bring them in. You can use fancy, over-the-top language all you want to try and hide your obvious bias, but common sense and logic does not back up your argument. No one's taking away Arlington's championship. It was the rules/guidelines that were set before the season. But to defend those rules going forward and champion them as some noble concept is utterly preposterous. In a small, young league such as this, the best teams need to be rewarded, or else you risk fans losing faith in the league before it even gets off the ground.

Didn't see this, but it was already reported that they will continue to do so. https://www.si.com/mlb/athletics/relocation/as-will-continue-to-receive-revenue-sharing Also, Sacramento seems to now be in play as a potential temporary home. https://www.si.com/mlb/athletics/relocation/oakland-as-interim-home-before-landing-in-las-vegas

But the Raiders have a say in who does use Sam Boyd, by virtue of their deal for UNLV to play at Allegiant, and it seems they won't let anybody use it.

Replicas have always had NOB, regardless of how the authentics look.

If the Cowboys win, Pete Carroll loses.

Look at the sleeve cuffs. I don't think that's actually the new template. I think they just grabbed a photo with a Nike Cubs jersey and threw it on an ad.

You strive to reach mediocrity.

It's the only place to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine and That 70s Show.

You can ignore that little voice in your head that tells you to type.

Yeah, I don't really get the Rampage/rhino connection to St. Louis. Archers is the most commonly used, yet still appropriately welcomed, but also used by St. Louis Community College. Pilots would probably be a better option than Aviators, but could also be used in reference to river pilots, which would probably play better into St. Louis.

I simply asked if he was aware that it was the other way around. I think you're the one making it a "deeper" deal than it is.

He was prefacing the concept with what actually (incorrectly) happened. His statement of the Gamblers identity being retained was not a concept, but rather the concept was in response to what identity he (again, incorrectly) believed was being retained.

He said they were retaining the Gamblers and not the Roughnecks. This is the opposite of what actually happened.

What has Caleb Williams done in the NFL?

Then why are you posting nonsense in here? Just for attention to stroke your ego? Seems to be the only possible reason.

Why are you posting random ideas in the thread about the actual league? There's a whole other thread for that so we don't clog up actual real discussions with things that don't have anything to do with the actual topic. And this isn't the first time you've done this, and yet you're calling ME the Dummy.

They didn't take over the XFL.

You aware that it was the Roughnecks identity that stayed (with the Gamblers staff and roster), right?

I forgot about Arizona's new jerseys. This leads me to believe that the on-field jerseys will still have sleeve piping in their current positions, but the replicas will have it moved to the edge of the sleeve. EDIT: Upon further investigation, Arizona's may technically be a 2-color sleeve trip instead, with the top half black (teal on the black jerseys). The red uniforms have black/teal/black trim on the sleeves and collar.

Not even just "or that they won't use it to draft me"? What if they drafted somebody else with the first pick? Is he THAT conceited that he thinks he should go #1 to someone other than the Bears or he won't declare?

Only Saban has officially announced he's retiring. The other two seem to plan on continuing to coach.

I think Kirby Smart would be at the top of their list, but I can't see him leaving his alma mater after pretty much getting them to Alabama's level, maybe even higher. Kiffin and Sarkisian are probably on the list. DeBoer would probably leave UW, given that their moving to the Big Ten. Probably won't be able to repeat the success they've had. I wouldn't rule out Lincoln Reilly either.

Well that's weird.

I don't believe that one game dropped him 2-3 rounds.
