If the player doesn’t get out of the end zone or misses a field goal the opposing team gets a point? Yep. Kinda weird. Then again, I’ve always believed that the NFL should have a rule, where if the kicking team kicks the ball through the uprights during kickoff, they should get three points. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean don't get me wrong. I'm more than happy Snyder's no longer an NFL owner. Guy was -- and is -- a giant asshole. But that's just too high of a price. The commissioner and the other 31 owners should've gotten together and voted to kick him out with the understanding that this is a very special case where drastic action needed to be taken and brought in someone to buy it for half the eventual purchase price. (But that's just me.) But they decided they'd rather "oust" him by having him sell the franchise than just outright remove him. I get it, though. It would've set a precedent that no owner is really safe, even if they made a point to say this would've been a one-time thing.

Wtf do taxpayers gotta pay for that? In NY tax payers are gonna pay hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new stadium for the Bills A lot of owners are greedy jerks. I will say, however, that there are cases where the owner and the city cover the construction costs together as a show of good faith on both sides. The city gets a venue that will allow it to make money not just at the venue itself, but also (ideally) at surrounding establishments, especially during a good year for the team. Plus, and I've mentioned this before, if your NFL team has a retractable roof stadium or at least a domed stadium (or even just located in an area known for having warm weather for most of the calendar year), your city has a good chance of being selected to host Super Bowls, college football bowl games, college football games in general (like season kickoff games and neutral site rivalry games, for example), WWE events (like this year's WrestleMania over at SoFI Stadium), concerts, and in the case of retractable roof/domed stadiums, conference and national basketball tournaments, particularly the Final Four. And that means (at least usually) a lot of people coming from all over just to attend the event. Is it silly and even maddening at times? Absolutely. But it also comes with its perks, especially if it's a great sports facility. Edited July 21, 2023 by Gemini Inb4ShutUpGemini lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a semi-related note, one of my favorite episodes of America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions is the 2015 Broncos. Why, you may ask? Because it was narrated by South Park co-creator (and lifelong Broncos fan) Trey Parker. (He did a great job narrating it, too.) I swear, if the Texans didn't come into existence (and because the Oilers eventually moved to Tennessee and became the Titans), I probably would've end up rooting for the Broncos due to my grandparents living in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for five years when I was a kid. (And because my brother's wife was born and raised in Cheyenne.) Edited August 2, 2023 by Gemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being and remaining a NY Jets fan is a tough road, for sure 😆 this is the first season in a looong time where I’m confident it won’t be “the same ol jets” (let’s see how this ages come end of October 😆) Tennessee Titans aren’t that bad, are they?

(Though Sunlight shined into it briefly from former green bay quarterbacks) The Titans did get to a super bowl but I still hate the rams from that... I've never been to New York, the Jets were purely cause I liked the name, I joined the Air Force years later as well because of jets... But as a Red Sox fan, I feel the need to dislike the Yankees, I do like the dodgers though so meep I don't really watch sports anymore, but just occasionally keep tabs on standings and statistics.
