Yeah there's supposedly an MLF and MLFB.

Referring to Arlington's win as the "most inspirational underdog run in recent memory" and saying it puts Perez "in the same class as Namath" is pretty fancy, aka, over-the-top language. Guess I should've specified that "fancy" also implied "over-the-top".

Having a favorite player? No. Not creepy. Speaking of your favorite player in an overly-pretentious manner, as if he's some mythological God sent down to Earth by Zeus himself? Yes. Very creepy. Especially in regards to a spring league football player.

Again, using fancy words doesn't make your preferred playoff structure any better. The choice is either the best teams make the playoffs or the best teams in a division. It's an 8-team league in year 1/2/3, not a 30+ team league in year 103. Having under .500 teams in the playoffs OVER above .500 teams could be far more detrimental than the false sense of tradition you're trying to perpetuate. And yes, your creepy mancrush on Luis Perez is an obvious bias, to whatever team he's on, which is currently Arlington.

How is NOT having the best teams, in an 8-team league, the most "sensible and interesting product"? You, and other Arlington fans, are probably the only ones who would support it staying the same. You seem to think that adding colorful language to your posts somehow makes them more impactful and everyone will understand and agree with your point of view. Not happening. If it was "sensible and interesting", you wouldn't need to dress it up.

That's not dumb, that's just awesome.

Is that ALL Bally Sports teams? The Cardinals just announced they'll receive their full payment for 2024, so I'm not sure if they'll be available on Amazon. I know my brothers were unable to watch them last year (which may have been a good thing) without cable (I used my Dad's Spectrum login to watch on the Bally Sports App).

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.
