As I type this, they are doing a water balloon toss.
Why can't they at least have athletic competitions like they did on the Superstars series?
It's not about the fans anymore. Or at least not old fans like me.

Re: False starts
Have you guys noticed that the officials never measure for close first downs? The coaches never demand a measurement and the officials seem to follow the tv lines--which are supposed to be unofficial-- as if they are law ? ... I blame the coaches for not demanding measurements ... They have had RFI...

Re: Bills-Bengals "no contest" part II
One explanation I don't hear talked about as a possible explanation for the delay in between deciding the game will not be resumed and the actual announcement is that to ensure the ambulance made it out of the stadium and well on its way to the hospital. I don't know the exact footprint of Paycor S...

Bills-Bengals "no contest" part II
After listening to other opinions about the situation, I will say that I was wrong about thinking the Bills' players were being selfish for not finishing the game that night. I believe the players needed a break to process things, and in the aftermath, I think the Bills organization has handled the ...

Re: Including postseason stats in career stats
For clarity, you would need to mention that the statistics include postseason play, but I'm entirely on board. I see including postseason play in the same category as recognizing longevity as a virtue when considering whether a player should be recognized for some honor. My goodness, if a player sta...

Re: Bills-Bengals game “no contest”
What about the people who attended the Monday night game? Do they get their money back? The players are now so flush with money that they didn’t even consider that they had a responsibility to the spectators who paid to watch, the broadcasters who paid to air the game, and to the whole economic eco...

Re: Bills-Bengals game “no contest”
They finished the contests: August 16, 1920 - Ray Chapman (MLB) October 24, 1971 - Chuck Hughes (NFL) August 11, 1991 - J.D. McDuffie (NASCAR) This is only a sample. In auto racing, quite a few men have died and they still finished the contests. I can’t think of a single competitor who would tell ot...

Re: Bills-Bengals game “no contest”
One of Hamlin’s first questions for doctors: “Did we win?”
I rest my case. The Bills should be embarrassed. The only champion on that team is Hamlin.
