Your a player pro not an owner, go pound sand.
I'm sure you Love it. I'm not in Favre of owning a team.
My Braves offered ownership for the first time this year and I luckily declined. Maybe I'll buy low when they blow next year's playoffs.
I’m sure that we’d have a cohort of seven or nine posters each good for two or three NFL posts a week. I’ll try to find math-related NFL stories to share.
Or deafness-related. I had been idly wondering whether this was something the NFL will adopt. Regardless, a cool story. Trivia: the football huddle was first used by Gallaudet. Also: I loved having football players in my classes. Easy to teach, easy to reach, used to working hard.

Sadly, after all of the player safety rule changes and concussion concerns, I'm not sure football as we know it will last much longer. There's this from yesterday and also the news of Flag Football becoming an Olympic Sport in 2028.Or deafness-related. I had been idly wondering whether this was something the NFL will adopt.

How are guys supposed to tackle from behind? Grab ankles?
NFL considers banning hip-drop tackles
The league says the hip-drop tackle increases risk of injury by 25 times the rate of a standard tackle.

I am pretty sure the NFL passed a rule (last year)? that no current player could own part of the team.
It doesn't matter. He's nowhere nearly talented enough to make this demand. I'm not going to revisit the whole "winner" debate. From and Xs and Os point of view, he's not a slam dunk prospect. Decision making the defensive processing chief among them. Maybe someone can give him an AFL team.

The Tweet and linked article in the 2nd post in this thread states that Aaron Rodgers tried with the Jets and the NFL stepped in. It's the good 'ol boys club. They don't want players involved. Only Mark Davis would do something like that because he can rub elbows with Tommy terrific often. You can bet on that.
Maybe he could buy the ownership rights to Pitt's football team. Technically, they play in an NFL stadium and have a coach who would have been fired at the NFL level after his first year....
Mahomes is slow on the uptake. Why wait?
Patrick Mahomes eyes NFL team ownership after done playing
Patrick Mahomes recently added to his collection of sports franchises by buying into the Alpine Formula One race team. He might not stop investing in franchises until he reaches his goal for his post-playing career, which is owning an NFL team.

He'll probably be able to buy the Browns for $10 and a used rubber by the time he retires.Mahomes is slow on the uptake. Why wait?

Generic NFL thought: I love when the Steelers are in the late slot. Even though the game is not on in my market, Red Zone will show a ton of it since there are so few late games. And drinking at 4 isn't so degenerate as starting at 1PM.
Other Generic thought: I'm just about done with this post and one of these idiotic banner ads comes up, blacks out my whole screen, and makes it impossible for me to finish the post. I have to go back to the main menu and then start again. If my post wasn't saved I'd be in nuclear mode, but either way, **** THESE ******** FULL SCREEN BANNER ADS! No other website has this garbage, ...and it happened again while I'm proofreading.
I try to post something positive and this is what happens.

It was a Bleacher Report story about the Bears signing Trace McSorley to the practice squad. Coals to Newcastle.
I don’t mind the 9:30 am games all that much. I’m used to early Premier League games anyway, they’re part of my flow, one might say. I skip most night games because if I watch I end up sleeping poorly, f that.

No I'm not much of an App man, (Ape man, sure) so I didn't even know there was one. Is it called On3?
This mostly happens on my Fire tablet, which has limited apps due to Amazon locking.
Yes it's On3. I don't get ads but I'm also a Den member so that may have something to do with it.
What's the WNBA? It rings a bell. Just haven't seen or heard much about it lately. I kid, I kid.
I do realize I am complaining about a free thing. But that's kind of the theme of the whole forum, lol.
I’ve read somewhere that thread titles matter. Given that and that this is the “generic NFL thread”, should posts be like this?
”Someone got hurt yesterday.” (Is “yesterday” too specific?)
”Some teams won and some teams lost this past weekend.”
”That offensive line is lousy.”
”Someone got hurt yesterday.” (Is “yesterday” too specific?)
”Some teams won and some teams lost this past weekend.”

Or posts about the browns since they have generic colors, uniforms, mascots, name, etc.
Not that it matters but I’d think that the total number of years played would be a better barometer.

More to my point would be there's only a few names on that list that catch my attention as being game changers or household names.
