We were 29th in red zone scores (89.58% of the time in the red zone, we came away with points), but 129th in TD percentage of those scores (only 45.83% of the time in the red zone we scored a TD). We had 48 attempts, 43 scores, 22 TDs and 21 FGs.
If only we applied the “shut up and dribble” across industries and political leanings…

Huh? How are we getting from 6 concerts, to 18-24 “major concerts” in year? 60 “smaller” concerts? What? Salt Shed holds like ~4,000 people…that’s not a venue competitive with a 30k person stadium.
He thinks football’s end is near, which is why he’s facilitating NU spending $800M and not $300M. Got it.
Why would Ryan need to “win over league owners”?
Also, he’s 87 years old.
Accept certain inalienable truths
