    Yep. It’s interesting how the narrative has changed to the point where it’s a desirable place to live (despite allegedly being such a terrible place to get to from either direction) and an acceptable place for a new stadium (despite the location being given as the reason for the poor attendance).

    I'm fine with it if it brings the front numbers back up a little bit. Some of them have sunk too low, even before the template forced them down. I prefer front numbers that are more on the chest and lest on the stomach.

    That didn’t look conclusive enough to be overturned. Even with Perrera talking, my eyes couldn’t tell. To me that’s inconclusive and should have stood.

    With time expiring in the 4th? That was the one the needed. Unless I'm misunderstanding? I think it's more a matter of convenience (hey, you're already here, just go ahead and kick the FG *wink wink*) than a bigger master plan that's put into place when down multiple scores.

    There's no way these guys aren't aware of situations like this.

    How could you not get fired up to run through a wall for this guy? LOL, idiot. I hope the door did hit him on is way out.

    I've long said that sports are generally pretty boring, and we need more entertaining guys dancing around in the end zone, cutting WWE-style promos before (and preferably during games), and making the game less conservative and old-school. Nuts to the "act like you've been there before" mentality. I love seeing certain people get all up in arms that a cocky guy that doesn't fit their mold of what a (lol) "leader of men" is supposed to be. Interpret "mold" how you will. There's probably a considerable crossover between those people and the ones that are upset about NIL deals, but are fine when guys like Nick Saban and the like make millions. But admittedly, that's just speculation. I watched that game (until I fell asleep) and it was probably the first college football game I've watched more than a quarter of in 10 years. I don't know enough to know if CU is good or not, but I do know that even when you take a team lightly and get outplayed, well-coached teams seem to find some way to handle that adversity and win. We've seen it in the NFL where 13-win teams that go to the Super Bowl have the occasional last-second win against some 4-win team at some point in the season. My only criticism of Coach Prime this year is that I thought he wore the cowboy hat on the sidelines during the game, and was disappointed to see him in a ballcap. I get that the headphones wouldn't fit over a cowboy hat, but he's mother f'n Coach Prime - he could have some kind of custom system rigged up.

    By "conservative', I meant the shapes, not the trim. The trim is a little excessive. They're not italicized, don't have weird-jagged cuts in them, and don't have whatever the hell the Vikings have going on with their sail gimmick. Some of the numbers (like the 1) are awful, but in a vacuum, they almost look "old timey" (for lack of a better term) - especially the 2 with its serif. By today's standards, they're pretty traditional. I wouldn't classify them as "contemporary", while I would classify the new wordmark as just that. I don't know how I'd classify the old one. To me, it's neither contemporary nor classic. It's a little cartoony - that's the best word I can come up with right now. I get your point about the old wordmark, we just disagree.
  10. BBTV
    are you sure that's not just because you were used to it? There's nothing about the current uniforms that meshes with the old or new wordmark. The numbers are rounded and relatively conservative, while the old wordmark was angled and jagged, and the new one is sleek and contemporary. It's a mismatch no matter which way you look at it
  11. BBTV
    It's changing next year. Apparently changing the wordmark was significant enough to trigger the two-year rule. Not sure why the team didn't plan better. I've warmed to the new one, mostly because it looks a lot better in the end zone. The old one had to be shrunk too much and left a lot of empty space on the ends.

    It looks like X.com links auto-embed just like Twitter ones did. If a change was made on the forum's end to allow that, thanks.

    If this injury ends his career, just shut the thread down because you may never be able to top that one. At least he'll have gone out wearing another relatively-classy uniform and not one of their regular ones.

    IDK... just like boards have "skins" or light/dark mode, there should be a PG13 mode where a "one-finger salute" reaction would be enabled. And maybe an ass one, incase the post you're reacting to is just straight-up ass. Ironically, this post would probably get several of each!

    It is a product of the 1950s. I don't know when the words got added, but they definitely changed some over the years. It was phased out for a while but came back when Jeff Lurie bought the team. This one is pretty cool: It's definitely fun to sing at games, but objectively, it's not very good. This might be the worst version ever of it, but I'll give it a pass because of the setting (what you can't see, is that people... including me, were literally lining all the streets for 4 miles between there and the stadiums). Why does the "pep band" even have instruments? Even when they used to play at the stadium, they'd still pipe in the song over them so nothing they did really mattered.

    I'm assuming he really wants facial hair, but the Yankees still ban beards. It's incredible how many years a mustache adds to someone. He looks 50, not 30.
  17. BBTV
    Anyone seen hats like this?

    Tone deaf, hammered, and a myriad of other issues that the character limit here will stop me from listing. I know it's shocking that people like this can't carry a tune:

    That's why I said "since the late '90s". I was pulling hard for Cunningham and that '98 team, and they were the last legitimately excellent Vikings team with a chance. Do 11-win seasons grow on trees? Of course not.... but they're also not unicorns. You have to be really poorly-managed to not back into one every few years. For the Vikings, I can't speak for how well they're run (though giving Kirk Cousins a fully-guaranteed contract might be a good indication), but the best thing they have going for them is having him leave after this season. They're a perfect example of why you either have a true franchise QB, or you don't. Their chances of winning the Super Bowl don't change much if you swap Cousins for any other non-elite QB in the league - or any poster on this forum.

    Right now the Eagles are barely a "good" football team. Losing the DC didn't matter (Jonathan Gannon is trash), but they desperately miss the OC, and the only reason their trash STC is still employed is because they didn't want to replace all three. Their ST (other than kicker) is complete trash. They may very well still lose this game (it doesn't help when 4 defensive starters, including an All Pro and Pro Bowler are out), but the only reason they're still leading is because the Vikings are perennial frauds. Seriously - since the late '90s, have the Vikings really ever been legitimately good? Even the years they made the NFCCG, I don't think anyone actually expected them to win. They seem to be a team that wins 11 or 12 completely hollow games. They can't be taken seriously while Kirk Cousins is their QB.

    Al Michaels just said they're at "Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia". Did they bring it back? Did they bring back the Vet?
  22. BBTV
    Didn't realize what a good play caller Shane Steiken was until watching this dreck. A good team would be leading the Eagles by two scores by now. Stupid designs, no audibles, and Hurts being forced into bad decisions. Thank gods the Vikings have Kirk Cousins and not an actual threat.* *words I will undoubtedly eat.

    and conventions, NCAA tournaments, etc. If you can't wheel it outside - and I doubt any of the current stadiums could even be retrofitted to allow for that - it can't work.
  24. BBTV
    If the stadium is in such a bad location, why would anyone want to live in that location - especially with no good public transit? If it’s bad to get to, why would you want to get to it to get home evry day?
  25. BBTV
    Is there any evidence that sports stadiums draw people to actually live near them? I'd personally not want to live in a complex featuring a major sports arena (and I go to tons of games via my 2-mile walk or short subway ride) and if they're high-value units, are the people affording those units really die-hard baseball fans? I can think of DC as an area where high-value units sprouted up near a ballpark, but there's also so much other stuff in that area that it would eventually have been developed anyway, and, well, Tampa St Pete isn't DC. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, and a situation similar to Marlins Park, where they built it... but nobody came. If what people here say is true about the stadium location being the issue, then the owner should put his money where his mouth is and sell the team to outside investors (if there even are any, now that Vegas is taken) rather than subject it to another 30 years of poor attendance and support. If I'm one of the 35 Rays fans that exist, and i believe that the geography is the issue, then I'm beyond upset right now and would probably bail on the club.
