I'll take bad sports over no sports.

Speaking of which, esports have seriously missed a freaking great opportunity as they could have had a Monopoly during the coronavirus shutdown, as they could of potential had a bubble and safe space for gamers and put that on TV safer, easier and cheaper than any other sport (of you consider them a sport, but at minimum competition).

I've never seen a gathering, with 25 or more people, that ever completely agreed about everything. All professional sports are nervously watching each other as they try to tailor how compete and remain as safe as they can be. i can't predict weather all or some or none of the sports leagues will succeed in having a 2020 season.

It would be a tragedy if problems began to happen, it was hushed up/covered up, and great athletes started to die. Is any amount of greed worth even 1 human life?

I don't need to know about their personal lives unless THEY themselves disclose it voluntarily.

This instant "news" and I use news very loosely here has completely saturated the enjoyment of the game. For fucks sake players are whining about a video game rating! ESPN did a god damn TV show about Madden ratings. WTF. True, I don't have to watch, but guess what, I don't have ESPN and I didn't watch -- but since people NEED content it was shoved down our throats and I still got wind of it and had clips thrown in my face.

If this wasn't a massive multi billion dollar BUSINESS, there would be games being played on Sundays. But, since everyone is ready to LAWYER UP like little bitches they are it causes delay after delay after delay. And then you get the NFLPA telling players to Tweet their displeasure with the NFL when in fact it's the players being the fuckholes to begin with! We won't talk about that though because we don't want the players to block us on that special social media platform called Twitter.

Don't get me wrong here. I would love for games to be played. I just cannot bury my head (I've tried and continue to try) deep enough into the sand to block out all of the BS that is thrown around.

It was a little before my time but the philandering antics of Mickey Mantle were not regurgitated onto the newspaper pages. Same for other sports stars. The media more or less stuck to reporting things on the field. Naturally there were exceptions.

As for the no sports or poor sports question- I am in the no sports camp. There's enough aggravation in my life. I don't want to be irritated by terrible games all the time. I have too many other things to do than to sit and watch something that's going to tick me off.

Agreed, I'm tired of all the crap news! And would rather have no news than crap news.

But I much rather have crap sports, than no sport. After all sports will help the news actually have something more to actually report on... plus they (the sports) MIGHT be interesting.

When I saw the headline “No football, or bad football” I immediately thought “does that mean no football, or being forced to watch only Chicago Bears games?”

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (17h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (20h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (21h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (22h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (22h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (22h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (22h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (22h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (22h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (22h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (22h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (22h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (22h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (22h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
