I love dogpiling the Cowboys as much as anyone, living in Texas as a Packer fan, but they do draft fairly well. There issues are almost all in Jerry's choice of coaches and how he fucks with them. The Mike McCarthy hire was hilarious enough, but then he follows up with Iberfluss? The last time the Boys had a head coach worth a shit it was Big Tuna and his experience was bad enough for him to quit coaching completely. Good coaches have not gone near Dallas since.

Thats retarded hand waving. There have been plenty of acts who's music was not to my personal liking or politically charged in certain ways. The difference is they put on decent shows usually and people knew who the fuck they were. Oh, and people talked about the entertainment aspects instead of just gaslighting. Black underwear satan worshipper guy is the point at which this changed.

All the rest is whatever, but saying he's an unknown is kind of dumb. Globally the most streamed artist, 123 million equivalent album sales, fifth highest streamed artist in the US. Just because you or I don't know or listen to him doesn't mean he's an unknown.

I don't think it's about a social message but the NFL's continued insistence on expanding its reach at the expense of its core fans. They're courting casual fans because they know the diehards aren't leaving (generally). Just look at the continued increase of international games. Eventually they're going to try for a franchise being placed overseas and a Spanish speaking country is likely.

Bingo. The NFL can't really get a lot more popular than it is in the US. The only way to keep the number going up is to expand to the rest of the world.

Hit the nail on the head. The shit Kraft was quoted recently as saying about expanding to 18 games, and every team playing at least 1 international game are obvious tells. New fans in the US are so few, but the international market could be something they could conceivably grow quite a bit. It's the same reason big European soccer clubs now do summer tours here in the US.

Having games in Central and South America is nice just because the time zones are the same. Going to Australia is a nightmare, not only for the crazy long flight but a 19 hour time shift has to fuck with you as well.

only way that would work is time it with the week before their bye. I guess that all makes sense but the first few years of 17 games diluted the whole product, all teams sucked. Going to 18 and going everywhere ? Break out the flags boys we're playing 2hand touch powder puff.
