I see that joking reference went over like a turd in a punch bowl.

TMI. Personally, l like being under the radar. Isn't that show for the NFL rejects? No thanks.

All 4 teams eligible for Hard Knocks initially voted against RG on Thursday Night flexing. Then in the next round of voting, the Saints and Commanders flipped their votes to side with RG and get what he wanted passed. The Bears and Jets stood their ground and said no to RG again. If the NFL was a benevolent idealistic democracy, this would not matter. But the NFL is not that. So I think it will be the Bear or Jets on Hard Knocks. Really this is a QB driven league also, and the Jets have a big story at QB with an MVP Superbowl QB joining their team in a big market. The Bears play in a large market too and have a young 1st round QB who is exciting and beloved in Fantasy Football and polarizing in real football, will legit receivers make him good or has he hit his ceiling? The Saints play in a small market and have a middle aged pretty good QB who gets mentioned alongside guys like Cousins and Garappalo. I am unsure if the Commanders have a QB on their roster. Maybe they have the guy who started for the Broncos against us the COVID year. So I think its the Jets or Bears because Roger Goodell likes ratings and dislikes dissent.

May turn out to be an astute observation.

I don't particularly have a problem with the idea, and don't really see any real evidence that it's "bad juju". Maybe it can be a bit of a distraction, but I think that can be managed. We can be the first team to win the Super Bowl that appeared on the show in the same season. Look at life as an opportunity to always break the mold and there are no real limitations.

Cool. This means we should go another decade or more without having to be on that show. We should be a perennial playoff team once again with Carr taking snaps, at least for the next two contracts.

If the Jets defy Roger Goodell on any more votes, Woody Johnson will have to move to Belarus.

There you go Bako. Let them squirm under the spot light instead of us. Let greasy man-bun Rodgers struggle through the scrutiny.
