You probably think singing God Bless America is "racist," so your opinion and 25 cents doesnt by a soda.

Kind of harsh, methinks. AsylumGuido has said things I don't agree with but also had some valid points. I think we all rub people up the wrong way sometimes because we all have different ideas about we think would be best for this team, that group or the other guys. What it boils down to is that we are all selfish, but what defines us is how we respond when we don't get our own way and even then we may be inconsistent with our reactions. Anyway, I'm the best so there's no point in anyone else even trying to do stuff.

Oh my!

I don't think it was that harsh. I didn't call him names, I didn't make any accusations that aren't true, I even wished him a happy life and good day, and I genuinely hope he has both. That said, I personally can't stand him, his opinions, his attitude or the way he talks to people. I don't wish any harm upon him, but I also never want to speak to him again. This place has been much more peaceful since blocking him.

So what are you saying?

[QUOTE=skymike;891639]Good post, good points, and a great thought about the humanity thing. I like the sound of it.

Im not sure to what extent it is true, or to what extent your inference from my post is untrue. Im sure there are stats no one dares to research, when you people (ha! an adjective pronoun + subject/ noun - hardly an epithet) cower in fear of offending someone with pancake syrup.

This isnt scientific research; Its a small sample, but its weird that my Jewish friends dont seem to be hurting much. I can get mad at em, or I can learn from them. I live in the Barrio. We dont have a choice but to live below our means.
I guess not, when we're accusing ALL police of being evil, and telling others they're "privileged" because of the color of their skin. Sounds like hate to me. So does beating random people in the street and burning their business. I never gave a damn what color people are.

I didnt describe anything you dont see in every rap video- and these guys are proud of the image. But who confines this to a race? Im sure Asian players are livin large too.

Dont try to scare me with a word. Im not a corporation.[/QUOTE]


How do you know? According to the Republicans who successfully passed the law corporations are people. But they can't be punished like people. Hmmm...another double standard?:doh:

Re: Season over before it starts
 

I dont know what all this means, Rugby. I just know I see terrorists in the streets, and idiocy in the stores and schools, so corporations are not really my worry at the moment.

Not to mention Football is done.
And we're all turning on each other here, on this board, where I came
because of its civility.

Re: Season over before it starts
 

Football is done? It's just about to get going and ...

19-0 Baby!

:bng:

I can't wait! Players are already reporting.

Re: Season over before it starts
 

A few members that can't express their feelings well have resorted to empty banter and name calling. This forum is still the best on the planet in my book.

Re: Season over before it starts
 

I would like to see games played every 11 days. Sunday, Thursday, Monday, Friday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Sunday, Thursday, Monday, Friday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday. 14 game schedule. No byes. Weekend games played at 12 and 3. All other games played at night. The extra 4 days in between games allows for better recovery from injuries and allows teams more time to deal with any covid cases. Teams fly in game day and go straight to the stadiums and fly out immediately afterwards. Lessens exposure. Easier to control.

Everything about starting and completing the season seems to be on track.

Players approve plan to open NFL camps on time

The NFL Players Association board of representatives on Friday approved a plan that will have NFL training camp open as scheduled next week.

The league held a meeting with coaches, general managers, presidents and ownership Friday, and it concluded with clubs approving new training camp and roster rules, protocols for operations during the coronavirus pandemic and economics.

The players' board of representatives voted to adopt the proposed changes to the collective bargaining agreement by a count of 29-3, according to a statement from the NFLPA.

"The NFL clubs and the NFL Players Association approved an agreement that broadly resolves all outstanding issues relating to the opening of training camps and start of the 2020 season. Training camps will begin as scheduled," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "We have worked collaboratively to develop a comprehensive set of protocols designed to minimize risk for fans, players, and club and league personnel.

"These plans have been guided by the medical directors of the NFL and the NFLPA and have been reviewed and endorsed by independent medical and public health experts, including the CDC, and many state and local public health officials. The season will undoubtedly present new and additional challenges, but we are committed to playing a safe and complete 2020 season, culminating with the Super Bowl."

Among the agreements by NFL teams approved by the players, sources told ESPN:

The 80-man roster deadline is Aug. 16, before padded practice, but teams can have 90-man rosters if they go with a split-squad setup. Some teams have plans to split squads and use stadium and regular practice facilities.

The salary cap remains the same for 2020 at $198.2 million per team, and there is a cap floor of $175 million in 2021 with the possibility of it being higher, based on revenue streams.

The loss of any potential revenue will be spread out over the next four years, through 2024.

There will be a fund established to pay back any benefits eliminated as a result of COVID-19 up to 2023, as well as paying back any lost guaranteed money to players.

NFL players considered high risk to COVID-19 can earn $350,000 and an accrued NFL season if they choose to opt out of the 2020 season. Players without risk can earn $150,000 for opting out.

Players who make a team's cut get a $300,000 stipend if the season is canceled and no games are played. If a season is canceled before the cut-down date, players who were on a team in 2019 get $250,000.
