This also happens because teams like the Cardinals, Colts, Falcons, and Texans don't have a pimetime game. Also, doesn't this go against the competitive advantage that the league was trying to alleviate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're about making money, and better ratings means more money. And they pretend to care about player safety or other stuff while being all about the mighty dollar. There's going to be disadvantage with teams who have to play Thursday nights twice, and the teams could do poorly, as if that wasn't bad enough already. In 2012 the league made every team have at least 1 primetime game. Of course, that was back then. Before that, only some teams had Thursday night games while others didn't. The teams who didn't have a Thursday night game had an advantage over the teams who did have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said it’s going to be a sacrifice? Could be a good game. They stacked their biggest weakness which is the secondary and that offense is exciting to watch. Honestly think it could be an exciting game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 This guy decided to look into “net rest” of teams. Essentially, how much rest is given to teams and the unfair balance of schedules 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 NFL's probably not too happy about this, but I thought it was pretty funny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The issue is that the script is written by the league itself and the referees are their way of attempting to execute it. That clip was great, and honestly, the NFL would be a lot more entertaining if it was written more like WWE, but even in that case, save for the couple of teams that would have "creative control", the league's writers would need to script some teams as jobbers (which they kinda already do) and some to be the "LOL Cena wins" or "LOL Roman wins" teams... which they kinda already do (though instead of Solo Sokoa interference at the end, we get questionable referee calls.)

DCarp1231 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Minor news- Saints and Bucs in legal dispute over use of “Krewe”. Seems like more of a New Orleans thing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa has had the Gasparilla parade in town since 1904 and krewes are part of the local community. Hardly just a Mardi Gras thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
