NFL News, Rumors and Musings

The NFL itself has been headed in this direction anyway with anything more than a nudge of a quarterback now a penalty so this is hardly a shocker:

 
It looks like the NFL is going all in with its DEI agenda despite most companies dropping it as fast as possible. I can only hope it backfires in their face, especially Mr. Goodell's.

This at least is a small gesture in the right direction. . .

 
I'm sure we have all read about the commercial with Brady and the rap "artist" against "hate." My opinion of it all it looks as if Trump had no good choices for marrying his hot daughter off, she settled for the Jewish swindler Kushner while The Don wanted Brady (so there goes our hope that Brady is a secret devotee of George Lincoln Rockwell)

All that was written in good fun because I don't care what they say, IMO they are total joke and the more they talk the more they discredit and delegitimize themselves, so keep them talking.
 
Some serious traveling involved for this one. The teams that play should have their bye the following week.

I do wonder why the NFL more and more wants to play games outside the U.S., particularly in Europe and now Australia. Expanding into those markets seems very difficult logistically with travel time and distance being a permanent problem, and does the league even need more new teams?

The NFL announced the Rams will play a regular season game in Melbourne, Australia in 2026. Per the league, the game will be part of a multi-year commitment to playing games in Melbourne. The Herald Sun was early to report the news and has named the Eagles as LA’s opponent for the game. The NFL didn’t include Philly as part of the game in their official press release but did note that the Eagles, along with the Rams, hold the marketing rights in Australia as part of the league’s Global Markets Program. All signs point to Philly being named as the second team at a later date. The first game will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
 
I don't know if interest is down for the Super Bowl or not, but prices for tickets are down. I never knew tickets were this expensive.

Tickets have always been multiple times over the initial ticket price or the initial release price. I remember reading an SI story how a 200 dollar face ticket ended up being 4k and the story was similar to a stomped on gram of cocaine.

Years ago Mike Tice was caught scalping comped tickets and he was making 100's of thousands a year as position coach so even he was tempted by the money that the tickets garnered on the open market.
 
I wouldn't go to the Superbowl in New Orleans if I had free tickets, and I live fairly close to it. Drivers are terrible with too many having no insurance. Should you break down, you're likely on a bridge or overpass somewhere, where too many people break down in the far left lane. Besides, having to leave your car in New Orleans to get help? Will anything be left of it when you return?

I was driving an old Jeep near the Superdome during a monsoon rain some years back and the engine flooded in a central lane on I10, coming to a complete stop. Not really sure how I got out of that, but it started after a minute or so. Ever since, if I have to go there, my sleep the previous night is terrible.
