Aren't there quite a few Samoans in the NFL?. Thought I read once that American Samoa were well represented.

Falcons are an embarrassment of a franchise. Just egregious behavior.

This comes days after they were crowing that Bill Bellichick didn't make their top 3 coaching finalists

What a clown show.

@barbarian said in NFL 2020:

Yeah the NBA bubble has been incredibly difficult to set up, and that's just with 22 teams and 15-20 man rosters.

Not sure how a contact sport with 32 teams and 53 man rosters is going to manage.

Best site to purchase tickets from, to Eagles @ Cowboys on 20/10/19? From the Cowboys site I get directed to Seat Geek where I can fudge a phone number but don't have a North American address I can put in so can't complete the purchase. There are other avenues but I'm in the dark as to how reputable they are. Help please.

Cheers

I have twice got tickets via stubhub. The first time collected them from the NY office (on Times Square) and the second time (for Miami) printed at home.

If you're going with a partner - they can't take any handbag in other than an extremely small one.

So much noise around Brady not being at the Patriots. Lots and lots of chat around the Raiders. But also the Titans, and surprisingly, the Niners

As a general rule the current slate roofed stadiums all replaced downtown domed venues that had established annual tenants outside NFL that need the roof. Several converted into exhibition space, most host NCAA basketball conference finals, Houston has the rodeo, combine etc.

That changes the equation from simply maximizing for the most seats.

FedEx Field is the worst I’ve seen in terms of pure adding seats at the expense of fan experience.

at this rate my trip to Cleveland in late September/October 2020 may have to include taking in a Browns game - just hope it's not a Steelers game as I'd fear for my life wearing my Steelers gear.

But purely from a football standpoint, it would be good to have Browns, Steelers and Ravens all being strong - we can say goodbye to the Bungles in perpetuity - nothing ever goes right for them.

A bit of an update on league boy, Jordan Mailata, who is trying to get drafted. Apparently he did well at his pro day.

I can see him being an undrafted free agent and just being a camp body, but hard to see him being anything more. His athleticism for his size will be intriguing for some teams to want to at least take a look at him.

I'm wondering what position they'd try him out in. You'd normally associate someone with his size with either an offensive tackle or defensive tackle.

<p>Draft day and LA is on the clock....money on Jared Goff being the first pick overall. Reminds me of Alex Smith so probably not a bad pick by LA (as long as they stick with the same coaching plan unlike San Francisco did).</p>
