Zurkerx and Therm used to talk like that too. One of those guys, I think Therm, got lost in the azaleas. Remember now, my lawn is a dangerous lawn. The lawn ornaments have red eyes that see in the dark.

Damn it, late ninja'd!

You're an Eagles fan, right? Do you want him back? It seems like a lot of your fellow fans do.

I mean, he was a great QB coach, but I'm not sure if he would be able to fix the current problems the Eagles have. But there's no plans to hire him back it seems. However, we do need some better coaching staff.

Does anyone know anything about this Stefanski person?

Not really anything except that he dates back to the Childress era.

Well at least we get a nice draft pick this year. Hopefully we can beat someone before the season is over?

Hard to believe the Steelers are two missed penalties from clinching the division.

City of Oakland suing NFL. This sideshow just keeps getting better.

“In a news release announcing the suit, which also referred to the NFL as a "cartel," Oakland City Attorney Barbara J. Parker "recommended and the Oakland City Council authorized filing the lawsuit to recover damages resulting from the Raiders' illegal move to Las Vegas, including lost revenue, money that Oakland taxpayers invested in the Raiders and other costs."

The release stated that by approving the team's move to Las Vegas, the league was "boycotting Oakland in the marketplace for hosting a football club" and, thus, "violated federal antitrust laws while the Raiders' move also violated the NFL's own policies for team relocation."

Mark Davis is an idiot and the Raiders probably going to be kept from moving to Vegas with this lawsuit. Maybe...MAYBE...we can finally get Roger Goodell fired?

New Sportsball this week... And of course Sacksonville Abbey and Days of our Steelers are still spun off.

Yeah, bc it's silly. The refs miss calls every game and not just at the end of them. Some teams do get burned more than others. But I feel safe in saying the Steelers are not one of those teams. Especially at Heinz Field or at old TRS.

by **Ameriganastan** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 1:47 pm

Hell, the Steelers won a Superbowl on shitty reffing.

Davis' family and the NFL owners are a joke So is the commissioner, Sideshow Rog. They always find a way to cash in, all the way around.

Let's review. Big Al D. moved the Raiders to LA in 1982 and started the whole NFL franchise movement nightmare. NFL made a ton $$$ too, even though ol' Dead AL was breaking their serious a$$ rules. He schooled the.

The first team to follow his example was the Colts when they skipped off to Indy. If Al hadn't of done it first the Colts' Irsay wouldn't have left Baltimore either. His move was a monkey see monkey do move. Bozo Bob never had that kind of courage or genius to come up with such a scheme to get new stadiums built by holding cities hostage and/or having a bidding war between a few towns. Dude was too much of a sot. In the end, Baltimore lucked out. In retrospect, getting rid of the NFL owned team by the Irsays was worth 12 years without an NFL team.

Did I tell you the Irsays tried to sell us back the Colts name in 1996? Only $25 million. Maybe worth $100 million today. Turned him down cold. Down in DC the 'Skins have a bonehead owner. That's mostly why they stopped going to Super Bowls.

Thanks for the review, I did not remember all this stuff. Also, Mark Davis not only is an idiot, he looks like an idiot. The man has such a slappable face. And I’m not a slappy person.

Aye. A woman would likely know better which man has the most slappable face. I defer completely to your judgement, Lum.

Besides, he's one of the NFL spoiled brat owners, anyway.

The now healthy Joe Flacco has been officially named the back up QB. Starter is now Lamar Jackson. Stay ready Joe.

This week on Days of our Steelers

Umm actually Kohr change my pick from Steelers to the Pats.

Kohr, you're doing a very nice job running the NationStates 2018 NFL picks on this thread. Thank you.

*tips cap*
Happy Holidays to you and all!

In no big surprise, I am picking the KC Chiefs for the win tonight on TNF. I'll be making my other picks for the week later. A couple of my picks in these other games need a bit more thought. I'm kinda busy with Christmas in just 11 or 12 days.

by **Idzequitch** » Thu Dec 13, 2018 12:40 pm

Chiefs over Chargers.

Other picks to come when I have a bit more time.
