Love these videos. I especially love to see his teammates celebrate with him.

AP pre season poll is out. Polls this early are f'ing ridiculous to start with. Not sure how Clemson is so highly ranked.....again. Not sure about Penn State being ahead of Ohio State either.

Howton is believed to have been the oldest former professional football player. RIP

Ooops

They are pretenders...and honestly, the way they have been playing recently is what I expected before the season began. I looked this up recently, and they are sub .500 against teams with winning records at 32-34. As for teams currently in playoff spots, in both the AL and NL, they are 21-24. Against NL teams in playoff spots, they are 14-14.

This is what I referred to (Part B specifically): With open enrollment, it seems based on this that the districts I mentioned would have been excluded.

1. Austin comes first. The narrator makes a solid case for Austin, but I have to think most of that area is full of Cowboys fans. Then again, with the boys being such a poorly run team, fans may easily jump ship. 2. St. Louis......obvious choice in my mind. Plus they have $790 Million they won in a suit against the NFL. 3. Salt Lake City........another choice that seems popular; could even see MLB put a team there. The NHL team was very popular there, and the NBA was as well. One possible downside was the Mormons basically doing nothing on Sundays. It's not a strict rule, but the goal is to avoid secular activities. This might be the single largest obstacle the NFL could ever see in one potential city. 4. OKC build off the energy that the Thunder have brought to the city. The NHL is considering it as well. A team here helps close the travel distance gap. 5. Portland, OR fills in a huge gap between Seattle and San Francisco. But another team on the west coast? 6. Orlando, FL seems to be a popular choice even though they only have an NBA team. 4 NFL teams in Florida though? 7. Toronto....I have wondered for a while now if the league would look north. My guess was they did not want to infringe on our neighbors to the north because of the CFL. But its proximity to Buffalo as the bird flies could be a problem. I was aware that Toronto was a big city, but did not know they had over 9 million people in the area. If Canada is on the table, I would thing places like Montreal, Calgary and Edmonton would be considered as well. Downside? Winter; gets a lot colder up north. 8. London, England Nope, no way. I do not care how many positives someone lists for London. A chartered flight from Indy is about 8 hours. One interesting thing is that the flight time from west coast towns is the same. So anything in the range of 8-10 hours for flights alone makes it a huge no. The time difference is a huge no. The jet lag is a huge obstacle. Others.....mentioned in other articles: Frankfurt, Berlin, Dublin, and Mexico City. Flight times and jet lag are still a big deal. Even Mexico City is quite a distance. Overall Drawbacks: 1. No new stadium will be less than $1 Billion. Most would likely approach $2Billion with the intent of hosting a Super Bowl. Not sure taxpayers in any town would be willing to jump on board. The Utah Gov has already said he is not interested in using tax payer dollars to build a stadium. 2. The level of play in the league is suspect now. Unlike the other major sports, football just does not have the amount of developmental programs the others do. Even now, looking at the USFL, you have guys that go from being on a practice squad or playing in some other league during a traditional season into that season? The teams that are bad in the NFL are not just bad, but they are really bad. Most every team is just a couple injured linemen away from the season going in the tank. Are all 32 NFL QBs good? Outside the top 10, it's pretty slim pickings. 3. While the league is popular now, I think it's maxed out. I know the Commissioner wants another game. I think they play too many now. It becomes a battle of attrition. 4. There are too many injuries as it is now. More players waters down the talent at this point and that puts more players at greater risk for getting injured.

1. It's $1200 per team to be in it. 2. There are just 9 teams in it now, and travel time and cost are factors for a number of programs. 3. They only allow teams in that feed into 1 high school, so that eliminates Perry Township, Lawrence Township, and IPS teams. 4. Not every school district has a travel team.

Classic Bowden. Another favorite was "It ain't my job to stop my offense".

Packers Family Night tonight....a practice. I have been a couple times to this it's actually pretty cool. People tailgate just like they would on game daye.

Fair assessment on the name. Tennis calls it Hawkeye. I am not sure the chain gang gets paid much, having known one of the guys on the Colts chain gang for a long time. He was also a high school football and basketball official.

Surprised to see this.

I am good with this addition to the game. the technology has been around for years and has been used in tennis for 19 years now.

Damn, this one hurts......my all time favorite Cub. RIP Ryno Fu*k cancer

Classic Dave Parker.....wrote this poem several years ago, like way back when he SHOULD have been inducted. Such a shame he passed before his induction. https://www.mlb.com/news/dave-parker-2025-hall-of-fame-induction

I want to know who that writer was, and why the vote "no". He handles it well though.

What a stellar career. HOF induction was well earned....he was fun to watch play the game, and is such a class act on and off the field.

Same here

I would prefer to see end zone views. I have said it before, watching the view behind the offense for the National championship game was what sold me on him. Granted, that o line at Michigan was on a level of it’s own, but he was dropping dimes over the shoulders of DBs most of the night.

There are usually exceptions to nearly every rule, and it seems an exception here would have been an obvious one. Sad this team earned their spot but cannot compete in the Senior Little League World Series. https://thehill.com/policy/international/5421919-venezuelan-little-league-denied-us-visas-world-series/

As Barry Alvarez said 30 years ago or so, the real recruiting occurs after a player commits.

Congratulations! Good luck ladies
