1988 Catholics vs Convicts. Turnovers and bad officiating notwithstanding.

Has any other ref been fired for under performance?

Happens all the time. There's no union protecting them.

Goodell is wishcasting here. This has been a pet project of his from the beginning, but it's not going to happen anytime soon and he knows it.

For starters, they have already determined that it is not feasible to have an overseas franchise until there is supersonic passenger travel again, and neither the airlines nor the 2 manufacturers are anywhere close to returning to that. Until someone develops a fuel-efficient supersonic jet engine that can power a plane the size of a 787, that is DOA.

No supersonic travel, no international franchise. And he knows that.

Also, as long as the safety people insist in players playing in the same equipment week after week, no international franchise. They would not be able to keep flying the equipment back and forth over the ocean, so they would need a full practice facility and a complete set of equipment over there and over here. Not to mention the disadvantage of an overseas team's needing to fund 2 facilities and 2 complete sets of stuff.

No, not hapening.

This means he misses anywhere from 2-4 weeks of regular season time, probably will see him in week 4 or 5.

Correct

Yet ESPN is the source you're continuing to parrot. It is a network which would generally prefer climbing a tree to tell a lie, than to stand on the ground and tell the truth. Here they are "reimagining" a story that was previously well researched, well documented, and fixed in history for 100+yrs.

You don't know the story, because you're happy enough to chew on the cud ESPN regurgitated for you. Under the Disney umbrella, ESPN has consistently sucked as an unverified source of information about nearly anything. As with the Heisman story, if you didn't know that before, you do now

I think you're being harsh here. ESPN may have its issues, but the SEC documentary series was a good watch.

Ken Burns' Baseball series was great, but it repeated the lies about the Black Sox from Eight Men Out and also the lies about Ty Cobb. He was wrong about those, but it doesn't take away from the series as a whole. Sometimes, stories about things from 100 years ago get embellished and improperly told. Plus to do a series like that you're pulling in things from 1000 sources, so if your source material is off then the doc will be off.

That would be a shite ton of whistle blowers from Aspiration for this to be fake news.

I think everyone is missing the point.

There were companies that failed.

There were companies that Ballmer exposed his players to that failed.

What the league has said is that there was no evidence of an effort by Balmer to make these connections to get around the salary cap.

I quote Lt. Kaffee from A Few Good Men: "It doesn't matter what I believe. It matters what I can prove."

Get an antenna, but make sure you get one with a long range. Gray usually has its transmitters way out in the boonies.

Also false. Jersey is not retired. Only retired jerseys are Cannon, Cassanova, Stovall, and Alexander. Bert Jones joins this year. That's it.

This might be the most retarded shite I have ever seen and in no way shape or form would hold up in court.

Actually, the better description is he Enron'd his way to it, but the result is the same.
