NFL 2017

[Admiral Yi]

Our baseball team in Reno (Diamondbacks AAA) is called the Aces. That's how you do it.

Vegas needs a Vegas name. Golden Knights is stupid and Raiders is used up. They need something else.

I imagine Big Football was leery of too close an association with gambling.

For What Its Worth, the Vegas Golden Knights have been adamant that they want to market to locals and develop a local fan base, and not just have ticket comped to casino high rollers or whatever.

I mean, we'll see.  But they're pretty adamant on that point.

Basketball would make a lot more sense than hockey for Vegas.

Yet the NHL Vegas Golden Knights start playing in October 2017.

They should be more ashamed of that name.

Their logo is pretty cool though.

[Admiral Yi]

That's a hoplite helmet.

[MadImmortalMan]

Yeah, and USC's mascot swings around a gladius, even though they're supposed to be Trojans. 

[Tonitrus]

It's almost like an NFL Europe team.

Don't like that new rule against jumping the line to block kicks.

And I don't like this either.

Gronk is out of control. I get being upset that a drink was thrown at him, but that doesn't give him the right to enter the ring and attack a guy. Goodell should suspend him a couple games, I think.

Romo is retiring to replace Phil Simms at CBS.  Probably a good idea for him.

He can't possibly be any worse than Simms

Now if someone else would please retire and replace Dan Fouts.

Ray Lewis has already retired.

"And I asked him, and he goes...and then I go...and he goes..."

Ugh.  Goodbye Phil.

Now if someone else would please retire and replace Dan Fouts.

Sure.  Let's go with cloning Rich Gannon.

[CountDeMoney]

Holy shit, I never saw Mrs. Romo's wedding party portrait before...




According to hair color.  That's shit Ed would pull.

[Ed Anger]

I'd have  half of them pregnant.

[CountDeMoney]

No shit.
