  1. Remember though, Gooddell is just an employee of the owners.
  2. Dolphins doing fishy stuff, and got hooked. Seems there was something to what Brian Flores was claiming as well.
  3. As ugly and unseemly as it all is, and everyone involved is dirty…the owners/front office people (especially in Houston), the escor….ooops, massage “therapists”, and of course, Watson himself. The critical piece in all of this is the two occasions that prosecutors tried charging him, and failed to bring a single charge. Something like 45 witnesses testified before the grand jury, and ZERO indictments. So what do you do if you are the NFL? This is likely the most they could do. Maybe an additional game or two? They probably wanted to avoid an appeal as well. Watson got off easy in so many ways (see what I did there? 😂😎) in this whole thing. Not sure if he will appeal this or not, stupid move if he does.
  4. The positive about 69 is they played most of the season last season without him. But I really hope he can make it back.
  5. Locking this one up. DT misrepresented himself and his role as a contributor on social media. He did not agree with the expectations put in place by administrators on this site, and asked to have his account here deleted. End of story. Other topics started regarding this will be deleted. The new season is upon us, so let's move on.
  6. I know a few Lions fans. I would not wish that level of agony on anyone.
  7. From a show that boldly went where no one had gone before; and who knowshow many Nichols inspired. RIP https://www.wane.com/news/star-trek-actress-nichelle-nichols-dies-at-89-son-says/?fbclid=IwAR3cBGWOb6PfJcylYwMBy9CrC1KfvZDa1UqntQ4gREI0UNoK6l9BWBtUyIA
  8. This man was a legend; pure class on and off the court. RIP https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34323568/boston-celtics-great-bill-russell-11-nba-champion-dies-88
  9. Proposal pictures for Soldier Field have been leaked. The current rendition is just goofy....and honestly, it's poorly done, even on the inside. While I have not seen a football game there, I was there for a concert several years ago. I sat about midfield on the side, where the suites are in the top level. I was only 20 rows up, but the overhang from the level above us created an obstructed view. Not only was the view overhead limited, but I could only see a small part of the video screen. In this proposal, it does not look like they do much to fix the sight lines I mentioned. I think it is a much better look on the outside than what we currently see. So, Bears fans, what do you think? Is this a real option, or do they build a new stadium in another area? https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/7/26/23278519/soldier-field-dome-renovation-mayor-lightfoot-taxpayer-public-projects-editorial
  10. I am shocked I did not start this topic sooner. That said @Gipper COULD have started it as well. 🤣 One of the more intriguing seasons is upon us. Adams is gone. The front office loaded up on defense. Bakhtiari is on the PUP list. Rodgers doing his best Nicholas Cage impersonation coming into camp. I think the Packers are still heavy favorites to win the division. 2nd place is a toss up, but I feel the Lions are going to surprise some people. Just saw this on my timeline and thought it was really funny. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdydDDbpP9u/?fbclid=IwAR3yd_OTlcFHlCkOguY3MSWnjgYvnrfJBvMb9-Wfs7aFl_toRgsexfRnqLE
  11. I have been in the Fort since 08. My impression is there are far more Steelers fans, with some Bears fans and a lot of Colts fans. The connection between Chicago and ND is that a LOT of students at ND came from Chicago in the early days of the school. I think there is a steady flow of them even today. There are other cities with a high population of Catholics that have a strong connection as well. NYC, Philly, and Boston included. Since the Order of St. Joseph priests started Cathedral over 100 years ago, Indy sent a good number there as well.
  12. Family says he passed today RIP Wally https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/27/entertainment/tony-dow-obit/index.html
  13. Shamrock Series hits Vegas. This is really funny to watch...it reveals the uniforms they are wearing.
  14. oh wow......thanks for the update
  15. Gee Wally....RIP https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/07/26/tony-dow-death-leave-it-to-beaver-wally-cleaver/10153777002/
  16. Ray Liotta's Good Fellas Co Star passes. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-25/-goodfellas-law-order-actor-paul-sorvino-dies-at-83
  17. Welp, if they play like shit, might as well look the part. 🤣 let's see how much we can make our uniforms look like the Browns 🤣
  18. I agree we do too much during the Summer. The problem is that non IHSAA groups will just step in to fill the void now. It's a double edged sword. Participation numbers in a number of football prgrams are down, while doing less increases what other travel teams do, that will result in fewer kids playing football as well.
  19. This could be a huge blow to the defense. https://www.wishtv.com/sports/colts-lb-darius-leonard-placed-on-pup-list/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WISH-TV&fbclid=IwAR2L2TlLBeAOaRn3ZkV0-8bwQgaYAdR-GdGMrdDkvw4wQYOINO0qUvAMeq8
  20. Was saying this to friends last year....put IU in the West and see a different result. I have never really been a Fleck fan either. I still remember when he took over at Western Michigan. There were a few kids from the MIC that had committed to WMU. When Fleck took over, he revoked the offers to the players from Indiana schools.
  21. Nope....Nothing is better than beating SC 🤣 My favorite moment from that championship game was Joe Montana being interviewed afterward. he holds up the horns sign and says now I know what this mean; we are number one in both polls.....Classic
  22. I am not sure the tuition thing is accurate. I know we have had tuition transfers the last couple years. But they do have to maintain a level of academic performance. I know a couple kids that wanted to play football and basketball that were willing to be tuition transfers.
