 He's dead and likely died on the field. They're just keeping his corpse warm long enough for this whole thing to blow over. NFL can't have a player dying on the field . That's just bad business.

I left out the part about the vax. However the very likely hood the NFL didn't want him to be declared dead by a doctor on the field is very real possiblity.They gave him CPR for 9 minutes then afterwards they took a 5 minute break to announce the game was cancelled. The average person can't hold their breath over 2 minutes.

There may have been more time due to the commercial break. As I understand it they took a commercial break shortly after he was hit.  I gurantee the lawyers didnt want him to die on the NFL property. 5 minutes was enough time to make sure he was in the wagon and far off that property.

I have heard people say that people in the prison system don't die in the prison system of they have a pulse they all die in the hospital so the prison doesn't have a death claim lawsuit on its hands.

I have also heard the same thing happened with people that died on Disney world property. They are not declared dead until they are off the property. This is not a conspiracy this is the absolute truth. The NFL wanted to protect it's financial interest. I'm not going to talk about the vaccine because it's too controversial. The NFL is a dirty business for years the NFL tried to hide information about actual Brain damages. In all my life I have never ever seen a player that had CPR done to them.

who thinks Toronto is over -500 worth it ? Sounds like a trap game to me. It's overpriced 

The bigger news was Tom Bradys wife didn't show up.  Tom is getting divorced. This has got to be a whole distraction and a huge disappointment for Brady.  Just retire already

Does the sportsbooks know who's going to win before they actually win during live betting ? I have seen in the NBA as well as other sports NFL college bb where a team pre game would start out as a moneyline favorite but would start losing but significant points and the same team still be a moneyline favorite. It's almost as if the sportsbooks know if a certain team is gonna win. I have hit a win once in a Ohio state college football game where they actually trailed significantly and still won the game but it doesn't happen very often for a comeback opportunity.

The main stream media is now putting the Washington team owner on the chopping block. How does this affect handicaping the Washington games? It really doesn't unless ur playing the moneyline. 

The point spread is what u should be concerned about. I expect this team to be in last place in it's division this year and no playoffs.

  It's been said that Dan Snyder may go nuclear with information about other owners sins. If he does this it will probably be a losing battle.

More than likely a forced selling of the team and possibly some very well getting rid of there best players for a firesale.

Also the possibility of the other owners turning on him as well if he comes out with certain information. It also depends if the media runs with the dirty business about the NFL.

Who are the owners who I think have skeletons in their closets  Dallas owner Jerry Jones, Browns owner Haslam , patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Jerry Jones has a daughter he won't claim. That wants a piece of the cowboys empire.  He probably has some big infidelity experience.  Cleveland owner Haslam has been caught in a gas truck stop scandal that involves cheating in the business. 

Also Robert Kraft has some experience with infidelity with going to a brothel in Florida.  I wish I could go over all over the rest of the 31 owners that Snyder would like to take down but that would take all day.

I would mention political stuff but this is football I will save that towards another forum. You can come to your own conclusions about that and do your own research. Please can we just get back to football without the poltics?

@spicycurry

 Agreed. 

@spicycurry

 Wrong Wrong. All of the teams you mentioned can't as you say tank because some of them are in the same division and play each other multiple times throughout the year.

Is it possible to have like three teams in the same division that just suck?

Possibly but not likely. If that happens then you would have one super team which would be the number 1 team in that division and a lot of sucky teams in that division.

What you are essentially asking will there be several teams in the same division that don't make the playoffs.  I really don't think the NBA likes that. They like to have teams from different markets to make the playoffs. However attendance has been down with low ticket sales.

The product just sucks etc. That being said watch what happens to the Phoenix Suns I expect them to try to trade off some players for a fire sale and expect them to lose games in order for the team to look more profitable than what they actually are. The NBA is show business. The key word is business.

my vote goes to the Seattle Kraken as this year's most improved NHL team.  I believe this team is better than what people think. Seattle has traditional been a city with other sports teams that glosses over hockey. Start betting on them hard and now early before the books make adjustments and turning this team into a huge money line favorite. I'm thinking they at least show up in the kings game maybe it goes to a shoot out. Either way I think the game is a win by Seattle or a loss by one.  

Remember last year was a short season of only 56 games

. No matter how you slice its really was a unfair season to those teams that didn't make the playoffs as well as the teams that made the playoffs.  If it was really fair they would have played all the games.

You could make a case for the Stanley cup champion would have still been the same but the road to get to the playoffs and through the playoffs would have been different if they played all the games.

That being said don't expect this season to look anything like at all like last season.  What iam expecting is a lot of surprise teams this year.

I expect Seattle to be one of the surprise teams this year.  Before Seattle came into the League the city of Vancouver was the city to be the final city of a long road trip for east coast teams.

The road teams use to come into Vancouver and drink and party at the local bar and get wasted. Now the trip gets even longer you go to Seattle then to Vancouver all the way from the likes of Tampa , Miami or Carolina.

That's a long trip.  I'm expecting to see Seattle to be one of the most improved teams this year.  More than likely some teams that played mediocre last or was in the playoffs will fall off as far as winning goes. The odds on Seattle actually winning the Stanley Cup are way under rated and far off. 

Remember this is the same league that within the same year of having the Vegas golden knights appear their first year they went to the

Stanley Cup playoffs. 

So im saying Seattle needs to be at least look at being good

 enough at being a playoff contender.  If anyone has any analysis of the upcoming season please share.

Cincinnati knows to lose the game to get that magic number of losing a 100. Why is that important because of financial reasons. Higher draft picks and more reason to over haul the team.

thoughts

I know it's still early but which opening day games are you looking forward to ? Which teams have some of the easiest schedules and which teams will be most improved?

Seattles Mascot has got to be the creepiest mascot ever in sports history.Is there any other team mascot that has been this creepy?  The thing is ugly.

@24HRfitness

 Vikings are more concerned with next weeks game playing Chicago. The saints have lost two in a row. They lose this game they really start to sink. 

Saints+3.5

The football field in London is actually larger than a American field.  It's basically a away game for both teams.  They also use different measurements in London.

im looking at this game as unique because while Tampa may have practiced in Florida they had to go to Miami to practice.  Tampa may not even play at home due to the weather. It maybe a travel game for both Kansas City and Tampa to Minnesota. The total of this game may be 45 but there are a lot of reasons why I think this game maybe a good under canadatate. Often times two teams with two great QBs play the defense shows up. I believe that practice of Tampa Bay in Miami will just throw Tampa off. I imagine most players will just stay in the hotel in Miami instead of going home. What are your thoughts? Also Tampa is looking forward after KC to play a division foe the falcons.   So im thinking KC could win.

it's gonna be a short week for both of these teams. I imagine they both will play hard. I'm looking for to lean the under on Thursday night. The NFL hates these Thursday night games you don't get a full week of practice. It also makes it more difficult when you play with in the division on Thursday night. Thursday nights are famous for unders.

Certain sports books actually have former Steelers QB coming back to the Cowboys. Is this rumors or should we just ignore it. It's been said the cowboys have 30 million to spend on a new QB. I personally think big Ben has truly retired. The cowboys have not had a decent QB since Troy akmain. U would think the cowboys would have a QB by now that would have at least taken them to the Superbowl by now. 

LSU historical has a better record against Miss state.

Brian Kelly has had only two losing seasons under his belt.  Once was with Notre Dame. This is where the rubber meets the road if LSU loses here it's the end of the road for LSU. possibly get into a sucky bowl game this year.

Anyone really know besides the lost why coach frost was fired ? Personally I think part of the problem was moving Nebraska to the big 10. They really could never hang with the likes of Michigan Ohio State and Michigan State as well as Iowa. Nebraska has generally had kind of a rilvaly against Oklahoma and should have stayed with the big 12.  You add in to the fact Texas decided to form its own Texas longhorns network which made no since at all. The big 12 has never really been the same. The only team from the big 12 that made it to college playoffs was Oklahoma. That I know of correct me if I'm wrong. That being said u general can't make the playoffs unless you are in the top 4 rankings. The Irish get a certain say even if they don't make the top 4. I could see a situation where the cornhuskers either win or keep it close. If they do win I  imagine Sooners get knocked down to number 9 spot or lower. Nebraska goes up.
