Red Comet

Considering a suburb of Raleigh is colloquially known as the “Containment Area for Relocated Yankees”, I don’t think this will work like they think it will.

Introducing (yet again) one of the toughest schedules in the NFL. Weeks 4-9 is going to be the toughest stretch with every opponent having made the playoffs the year before and that’s before Weeks 11-15 where the Chiefs play at Arrowhead only once and that is against the Defending Champions. The AFC West is going to be a brawl and taking home their 7th straight AFC West Title, appearing in their 5th straight AFC Championship Game and making their 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years is going to be quite the uphill battle for the Chiefs. Getting rid of Tyreek Hill certainly downgrades the passing attack but seeing as how Tua’s deep ball makes Matt Cassel look like Brett Favre, the Chiefs will win long-term. The defense being overhauled is also another question mark, but the Chiefs are less rebuilding and more reloading and as a result are going to field one of the youngest rosters in the league. Even if nothing really comes of this, at least I can say they didn’t rest on their laurels like Seattle or Green Bay.

Jokes aside, I’m pretty sure this awkward transition to the inevitable 18 game schedule has the AFC and NFC teams alternate having the extra home game every year. Hopefully by 2025 they do transition to 18 so that this doesn’t remain an issue but they could keep this number of games for the next 40 years for all I know.

Glad Tyrann Mathieu is back in Louisiana. I’m surprised it took this long for him to land somewhere but I’m happy for him.

Well I’ll be damned, they’re actually making the Big XII meaningful again.

How else are they going to minimize losses if this moronic arena plan actually becomes a thing next season and they aren’t in Houston or Quebec City? Pretty sure the arena that hosts our local ECHL team has a higher capacity than this arena. Oh well, not my problem if the people running the Yotes are as economically illiterate as a high school freshman.

I prefer actual football to titillation too, but if you can’t be viable with talent, then you’d need to compete in other manners. It’s Business 101 and there isn’t exactly a big market for women’s sports to begin with so the more base appeals make sense if you’re trying an alternative league. In theory. Turns out if dudes want to spank the monkey, they’ll watch porn for 10-20 minutes over spending 3 hours watching inferior football, who could’ve guessed?

I don’t know, but I hope my team at least goes for him now that we don’t have Tyreek Hill. And apparently they are per Ian Rapoport. Why tf are the Lions and Jets a potential landing spot, though?

At this point, my belief in these spring leagues is “Trust, but verify”. I want there to be viable competition/alternative to the NFL but every league I’ve seen so far has failed to even come close with only the UFL and NFL Europe lasting more than a season in my 32 years on Earth. I hope the best for the players and coaches, but I’ll have hope in its viability if/when Season 2 rolls around.

Because our chimp brains think the more monkeys are in the stands, the more exciting it has to be. I wish I had a better reason than that.

Don’t really know a lot about Cleveland aside from the dumpster fire of the Browns organization that’s been blazing longer than Centralia, but how good is Denzel Ward?

Makes sense considering Nashville is also planning on hosting the Final Four/Super Bowl and honestly has a lot more to do there than Buffalo. Even has a better hockey team than Buffalo too.

Also, they’re saving a lot of money by not traveling. This really seems more like a soft launch than anything else.

Probably. But I’m sure it’ll be fine. After all, rich people don’t mind it at all when you steal money from them.

I want the Kansas City Smash N’ Grabbers. Yeah, I don’t really know :censored: outside of my own market and I’m not afraid to admit it. Sue me.

In less controversial news, the Commanders should be renamed the Stealers apparently. Headline really buries the lede because it’s alleged Dan Snyder withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and ripped off fans. Here is the official document with the allegations

Yeah. IIRC, the division between 1-A (FBS) and 1-AA (FCS) wasn’t formalized until the late 70s. So this would actually be the first time Notre Dame plays against a 1-AA/FCS opponent.

FTFY.

Now I wonder if Deshaun Watson will try to get a massage on that pool table.

Glad it’s April Fool’s Day otherwise it would even more like the 49ers logo.

They got Al Capone on tax evasion. The :Redacted:/Football Team/Commmanders/Whatever they’ll be in 5 years when they want to move as far the hell away from the Snyder era ASAP front office circa whenever this news broke:

Another lost season for the Lions. Having Hard Knocks following them around is the icing on the cake.

Operation GTF Away From Aaron Rodgers has resulted in another defection. Chiefs sign Marquez Valdes-Green to a 3 year deal.

He still has Kelce and Smith-Schuster. And if he’s desperate, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Mecole Hardman. Also, Mahomes is plenty talented enough on his own to buoy up otherwise unremarkable receivers.

Tyreek Hill wanted $30,000,000 a year and the Chiefs cap space was slightly under $10,000,000 before this move. They could’ve backloaded the contract but it would’ve caused even bigger issues down the line. In light of this, when the choice is 5 draft picks versus screwing the cap situation even more long-term, the decision is obvious. In short, it’s a stupid on-field decision and a brilliant off-field decision.
