    The only league other than the old AFL that could have given the NFL a run for its money would have been the USFL. Some cities were drawing fairly well. But then Donald Trump decided he wanted the USFL to become a fall league & compete directly with the NFL which probably would have been suicide anyway. When the USFL was awarded $1 in damages by a federal judge in the USFL's anti trust trial the league folded & Trumps hate was on for the NFL. I'm sure some owners like Trump wanted a merger of some kind but didn't get it.

    The ironic part was that the jury accepted that the NFL had colluded to prevent the USFL from accessing TV contract, stadia and so forth and were prepared to award a massive amount to the USFL, according to jurors who were interviewed after the trial. However, Trump insisted on testifying despite his lawyers' advice and came across as so arrogant and unlikable that the jurors changed their minds and awarded one dollar.

    I adore the word levity. Thank you for reminding us of how important it is in this day in age. :)

    On that note: At a funeral, a man approached the widow and asked, "May I say a word?". The widow nodded assent. The man walked to the front of the church and said "Plenitude" and then took his seat again.

    The widow smiled at the man and said, "Thanks. That means a lot".

    That above post doesn’t make sense.

    You would think Robert Vanech should be paying the league for not having his name associated with this undertaking. At the very least...wait to see what happens with the AAF before pulling out the ‘sue’ card.

    With all the crap swirling around this fledgling league, it will be surprising if they finish this season.

    Funny how he is always defending sex offenders.

     

    Birds of a feather... apparently the Chinese women were forced to sleep on tables, had little access to showers etc, spoke no English and were not allowed to go out. By any description, they were slaves and were actually sold to the pimp(s). This is as ugly as it gets, and reminds me of the Hellfire Club in Victorian England. How could any sane person gain any amount of pleasure from engaging in degrading women who were so desperate and helpless? Kraft and his fellow tycoons should be held as responsible as the pimps and share equally in the punishment.

    And R.Kelly should never see the light of day again.

    We'll see what happens in san Diego as they had 29,000 fans last week. Football fans in SD are pissed with the NFL so this may be an FU aimed at the NFL by the fans there.

    Yes, but the San Diego fans have seen real football of the NFL sort, and they are going to sour on this anemic substitute real fast.

    Yeah, I watched both video's very closely looking especially at his face.  He does not look fatter or pudgier, his face looks exactly the same.  Except that in the training video his beard is heavier and the light shines in his face more.  Shadows matter.

    Also, there is no limp.  When he was walking onto the carpet on the ice it looked more like he was trying to keep his balance then anything else because you're walking onto carpet on ice which will move a bit under your feet.  But I saw no limp at all.

    We can only hope. This has to be a make-or-break year for Nichols to make his bones and prove that he is not a career also-ran. I hope that Walters, O'Shea and LaPolice give him the tools to do the job.
