NFL Discussion v36: The Legend Continues

[brackis1]

the interesting thing is that NFL owners are voluntarily giving up the tax exempt status they've enjoyed for years because of negative publicity about it.
they make SO much money, losing that advantage doesn't even bother them.
amazing

There are plenty of advantages to losing this status. Each team in the cartel was always for-profit, but now the central office has zero obligation to report many financial datapoints that would otherwise become public knowledge, so really they don't lose anything. They removed their non-profit status during a modified http://politicaldictionary.com/words/friday-news-dump/ during the baltimore riots so it barely made headlines. The funny/sad thing is that people are generally so uninformed that the "fake news" aspect where people would claim "nfl teams dont pay taxes" (not true) was picking up steam and hurting their brand more than legitimate gripes about how the league pulls off wage-suppression and other collusive measures that have nothing to do with their non-profit status.

What a dumb move by Atlanta firing their DC and DLC. They aren't the ones who lost the damn SB.
I hope they still draft Cox's son at least.

Does me correcting someone else who introduced the topic of nonprofits hurt your little snowflake brain that can only handle the flimsiest of sports banter?

Especially odd considering they actually did one hell of a job, particularly pressuring Brady in the Superbowl.

Where is he suppose to go? I haven't seem him in the first 3rds in any of the mocks.

The Patriots O line had improved so much this year with the rehiring of Scarnecchia. Marcus Cannon sonned Von Miller earlier this year which even I didn't expect. But you're right, even as much as the the Pats' O line improved, the Falcons were able to put a lot of pressure on Brady. It wasn't until late in the game that Brady started carving up that secondary.

Supposedly Quinn's been calling the plays since mid season.

 

[MarkyMcFly]

I usually think to myself, man this (random person) sounds really smart...but the only way i'd know for sure is if they had some sort of symbol or like emblem... that would let me know just how bad ass they are, irl

I never thought i'd see a message as clear as when I saw that Skeleton Ninja

Yes, yes it does.

 

[NewbZor]

I have also heard Quinn has been calling plays since mid season, when their defense started playing much better.

Also their DC could land in another role while they promote from within (Ulbrich?)

 

[TheWalkinDude]

Savoring the run of local sports radio talk this week, got to enjoy it while it's here since soon it will be back to how much the Bruins suck and that the Celtics need just one more piece.

No one actually thinks the super bowl is rigged right? Jesus fucking Christ
