Not many follow the Colts in Baltimore given the way they left, kind of ironic the Ravens moved to Baltimore in a similar fashion[well without the midnight departure anyway].

ahh forgot that, it was the most famous one!!

The situation they have had in the NHL over the years is fairly crazy too, mostly due to them trying to push hockey further south in many cases:

yeah I’ve never understood moving it to places like Florida, can understand LA as it’s basically a transplant city but some of the others are just odd

To be fair Fedex has lots of concerts and also preseason friendlies for international footy.

the ravens are a good side. IF a team can get a lead on them they're fucked. but that's a big if

I'm so glad our defence is this good because I'm not convinced by the offence at all and it's mostly down to Mornhinweg. His playcalling and use of certain personnel are suspect at best.

I think the Raiders new stadium is going to be shared with College Football team, University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels[UNLV], plus you have other events, music concerts & the like.

That's what the new stadia have had to promise more or less - because as I noted earlier - otherwise they are an absolute money pit on the municipalities that were conned/held at gunpoint to pay for them. Granted - I don't know if it is 100% true - but the NFL owners still get a cut of the money from the non-NFL events which is fucking bogus.

Aren't the Glazers perfect example of this, got the local council to rebuild the stadium using taxpayers money for the Buccs, but keep all the money they make from events held at the stadium?

Watch the panthers win today without Cam.

Wow a 11 play drive down the field and we didn’t get picked off once and scored a touchdown, oh yeah Cam wasn’t the quarterback

Refs gave all calls in Colts favor in 2h, just too much home cooking there, PI every single time when a Giants player is around.

How'd ya like to be a DB in this league these days? Nice gift for the Saints on a pass interference call which was no such thing.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50462 on:** December 23, 2018, 10:00:09 pm »

not that the saints need the help but they've just been given 7 points there

Larry Fitzgerald throwing his first touchdown pass is the one great thing to happen with the Cards this season.

possibly but better to score quickly than not at all and at least Pitt have burned their time outs

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #50469 on:** December 24, 2018, 12:36:34 am »

That's a TD, they may not have wanted it, yet....
