    The NFL cleared a damn forest for wood to build a temporary stage for the draft in Nashville

    Could they have built itin sections so it can be trucked around to the different cites for the draft this is in both a waste of money and material as well in poor taste

    I'm confused. Is using wood that is grown specifically for lumber bad? If it's temporary isn't this the easiest to assemble, disassemble, and repurpose?

    Some of media around that has been overboard. Many of the cherry trees they removed were nearing the end of their lifespan (they are short lived for a tree, 20 years on average), some already had started degrading/being diseased. I think the NFL and the convention bureau were going to donate like 200 new plantings of trees as well.

    Plus those trees ended up getting moved instead of just cut down anyways.

    Molten variables hiss and roar. On my mind-forge, I hammer them into the greatsword Epistemology. Many are my foes this night.

    That was just my own picture today of a lot of wood. I didn’t know there was a controversy, I was just honestly impressed by all the lumber.

    The stage will be where Broadway ends at the river, with the Titans stadium as the backdrop from across the river

    It’s honestly probably the wildest place to hold the draft outside of Vegas. Broadway is already full of thousands of drunk idiots and sloppy bachelorette parties without a special event that attracts Jets fans.

    Oh ok. Seemed like there was some mild outrage. My bad!

    Building a wooden stage solely for the draft hilariously wasteful though.

    Oh no doubt. But if you're gonna do it anyway I assume it's the way to go. I don't know shit about construction though.

    XFL's getting 3-point conversions
    ESPN wrote:
    On extra points, teams can choose whether to go for a one-point conversion from the 2-yard line, a two-point try from the 5-yard line or a three-point attempt from the 10-yard line.

    "We literally have a nine-point touchdown. We think that's valuable because teams that historically are down by let's say three scores, well guess what, if it's a 16-point or a 17-point differential, you're really looking at a two-score game theoretically," he said.

    The XFL's overtime rules are currently being tested in the Spring League. Luck said each team will have five opportunities to convert a two-point conversion in the overtime session. The defense would score one point with a turnover.

    Forty-four players will be on the field at the same time in the overtime session, with both team's offenses and defenses on opposite ends of the field.

    I’ll never watch a single second of the XFL because the entire McMahon family can go fuck themselves.

    The funniest thing that could happen is the XFL putting all this thought into OT and making it interesting, only to have all their games end in blowouts and for OT to never come up.

    At this point Vince might as well save money and/or time and just light his 300 million on fire.

    Goddammit. John Lynch better draft Quinnen Williams or Josh Allen.

    worth it for this though...

    He and Joey were built only to be autonomous chunks of muscle and play football. They are dumbshits in all other facets of life.

    The Chargers are a southern California team with a lightning bolt logo, so I never understood why they were wearing any kind of dark or subdued colors. Their uniforms should be so bright they're eye-searing.
