  1. I’ll add to this. The whole “think of the children!” excuse? They’ve heard worse playing Fortnite and even if they somehow didn’t have Internet, they’ve heard worse riding the bus or around their parents. NFL leadership is so out of touch, it’s not even funny.
  2. I sure as hell didn’t but then again I’m very biased. I get people getting sick of the Chiefs but I know it’ll all end at some point so I might as well enjoy this success. I stuck around for when they went 2-14 back in 2012, not to mention all the times they were not bad enough to get high draft picks but not good enough to do anything in the postseason. The other team that gives me the same vibes that they’re about to break out after so many bad/mediocre seasons is Cincinnati. God knows they need a playoff win and I think it’ll come very soon. Going to be weird as hell hearing that people are sick of the Bengals after 5 years, that’s for sure.
  3. Yeah, I don’t think getting rid of the circuses and having people Instacart bread is something that’s going to fly again. Especially not now. Unless you’re a fan of accelerationism. I’ve gotten the two shots and booster. If someone wants to be a dumbass and not take the jabs, that’s on them.
  4. Yeah. I can hear the groaning from here if it turns out they play each other in another AFC Championship Game. Still had to sit through some :censored:ty football more recently to get to this, though.
  5. From worst in the AFC West in Week 7 to best in the AFC by Week 15. This has been a hell of a run. Glad to see the offense come back to life. Also, Parham’s injury was horrendous. Never seen a guy hit his head so hard they had to remove the facemask. I really hope he’s alright.
  6. If Urban Meyer goes “muh mental health”, wouldn’t this be the 3rd job he’s departed due to “health”? He would totally pull a scummy move like that too instead of taking responsibility for his actions.
  7. Yeah, if the NFL is going to look the other way on CTE or who makes the players’ Nikes, they’ll kowtow to Premier Pooh. Just how it is, I guess.
  8. Moving to a bad location is in and of itself a major indictment of how incompetent the owners have been. I think it’s a chicken and egg situation. Most people with decent business sense wouldn’t think a hockey team where ice doesn’t form at all in winter or never freezes thick enough to play hockey would be an instant success. So, you get people that are more risk-taking or inexperienced. People who would put teams in an arena on the ass end of a city because the land deal was cheap before asking why it’s cheap. You could get Atlanta Spirit whose infighting and incompetence was legendary. But sometimes you get Dallas or Tampa Bay as successful market. Sure, markets do determine success and can be an obstacle but making good decisions can do a lot too. Or, you can be in a hockey-mad market and thus not have to put any effort at all in the team while still selling out all the time. I think this is partially why a Canadian team hasn’t lifted the Cup in almost 30 years.
  9. What would happen if a McCaskey marries a DuPont? Would be hilarious if the spawn ends up a homicidal imbecile ranting out about how chemicals will solve the Bears issues. I suppose it will solve the issues for the fans, but the team not so much.
  10. Miami is the capital of Latin America? For the Bears, I’ll admit I have nothing.
  11. Los Jefas de Ciudad de Kansas and Die Hauptlinge von Kansas Stadt. So, yeah, how the hell did the Rams get such a great bit of coverage internationally is what I want to know.
  12. Makes me wonder what they’re going to do after the last 2 matchups combined ended up being a 89-23 Chiefs victory. They should consider circling the wagons before circling the stadium or stomping on the logo. I frankly never got the whole “rivalry” thing with the Raiders considering that they’ve been a nuisance for most of my life.
  13. I like the old Scouts jerseys. In 2021, however, you’d have to be on hallucinogens to think they’d bring back a uniform from a team that failed after 2 years. And that’s not even getting into any other issues such a uniform would have that would be verboten for me to explain further on. Quebec City makes the most sense, but this is the NHL. If Phoenix can’t work and Houston appears to be falling through? Well…. And the funny thing is? Kansas City has all those issues @the admiral mentioned with Houston and Phoenix other than the transplants along with Kansas City being a much smaller market. But again, it’s the NHL. They’ll probably do this anyway over Quebec City if they can find someone stupid enough to put a team in Kansas City.
  14. Yeah, the people owning the Coyotes are some crazy mother:censored:ers if they think they’ll still be in Phoenix next year.
  15. And that’s why it’s going to probably wind up in Houston. On a surface-level economic analysis, it makes sense. Houston is the New York of the South and Quebec City was only bigger than Green Bay as far as Big 4 markets went by 1994. On paper, even if hockey is behind the Houston Dynamos, there will still be more fans of the Houston Coyotes or whatever they wind up being called over the Newdiques no matter how fervent that fanbase will be. Also, there’s a big elephant that the Nordiques logo totally looks like in the room. Quebec City is virtually monolingual in French. It’s why Eric Lindros demanded a trade from Quebec when he was drafted. Now, having a salary cap is going to make the Newdiques a more sustainable situation than last time but the small market and the language barrier will be there no matter how rich Quebecor is. As far as Kansas City? The closest we’re going to get to that is if Lamar Hunt Jr decides to buy the team in bankruptcy court because he balked at the price of an expansion team back in 2017. And if Houston completely falls through.
  16. Vikings up 23-0 at the half and I’m surprised it’s that close so far.
  17. Kansas City would function better as an AHL market right now over an NHL one. Plus, with Mahomes wanting an NBA team in Kansas City? Guy brought Whataburger up here after wanting it so I give it 5 years before the Pelicans or Grizzlies end up here because he and a like-minded group of billionaires want it. I’m betting Houston is the first choice and Quebec City if they can’t find anyone in Houston.
  18. The fact that it was allegedly “human error” raises even more questions. How do you forget to pay the bills needed to keep the city from impounding your own arena? How long before the players have to race each other to the bank like they’re the San Antonio Gunslingers ice show? I bet the NHL is running this team by February.
  19. Kind of hard to be a good ally of Latinx (or just say Hispanic like a normal person but I digress) if you can’t pay your bills on time.
  20. Baltimore goes for 4th down all the time if it’s within a few yards. I’m not surprised that they went for two. Baltimore was also down on defensive backs so there’s no guarantee that Ben couldn’t have just thrown for a TD on their first possession. You have to deliver the killing blow when you have the chance to. Although, I have to say, it’s funny how things are shaping up. All I can say is go Bills tomorrow night. You know, for “reasons”
  21. I don’t know about uniting a nation, but, he might bring back light to the Force as his name sounds like a Jedi’s. EDIT: And regarding another team in Pennsylvania, don’t you love it when the Steelers have a game winning drive at home with convenient penalties?
  22. >Chargers nearly blow a 24 point lead in a little over a quarter That has to be the most Charger-y thing I’ve ever seen. And to the Bengals.
  23. Again, who let Keith Olbermann out of the mental hospital?
