    I think it was a mistake to relegate games to semi-obscure cable networks for most of the season. I don’t even know what B-R Live is, and casual fans aren’t going to search out CBS Sports Network or the NFL Network.

    My brother whom is a big football fan made fun of how they wanted to be new and innovate but sticking it on obscure cable channels was questionable

    It's possible they just didn't have the money/clout to push themselves onto more mainstream channels. TV deals certainly aren't cheap, and I'm sure major networks/affiliates aren't super eager to replace known quantities with an unproven minor league (essentially) sport. They'd basically be banking on enough people wanting to watch "football minus any of the stars" and might have been asking for too much upfront.

    The AAF required a $250 mil bailout last week by the hurricanes owner, who is now chairman of the league. Otherwise they weren’t going to be able to pay their players last weekend. Watch it while it lasts, folks

    Which one of the ... apparently 300 ... punts in that game was the saddest?

    Click through and he gives details. They punted after the 2 minute warning down 2 scores with no time outs left.

    oh no that is maybe the saddest punt.

    what other tragic punts is the surrender index missing, what depths can we sink to.

    Landon Collins cleaned out his locker and said his goodbyes to the team

    Not sure where he's going but sounds like he won't be a Giant anymore.

    I almost didn't want to even bother commenting on this but since the Hotshots already called it out briefly in addition to others (including players, who would be the ones to know if they weren't getting paid)


    "Vince leaks fake news to media that competition is failing early to decrease positive attention coming to competition" is 100% in Vince's playbook even from previous XFL1.0 days, let alone during his time with WWE

    it seems pretty unlikely that they'd not have enough money to even last through what, week 2?

    idk what even the scam would be there.

    Not only could I see that being a tactic Vince would use, WWE and ESPN basically has a working relationship at this point.

    Ok... So Landon Collins confirms he has cleaned out his locker.

    However, he's not necessarily done with the Giants. They haven't negotiated with him so he's preparing himself.

    Sounds like a smart bargaining tool

    Guy is worth 6 billion dollars and he's getting a $50 tug at a strip mall in Florida. Jerry Jones would be proud.

    Haha, holy shit, the city's going to tear itself to shreds over this, can't wait to be caught in the middle.

    Can any rich white guy not be a fucking scumbag? Like, one. I know it's a big ask but just one, ever, would be nice.

    The Independent is reporting that it was also human trafficking, not just prostitution. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/robert-kraft-arrest-prostitute-jupiter-florida-sex-ring-new-england-patriots-a8792611.html?

    The real question is how much or how little did anyone on the team know about this because H O L Y S H I T

    Nah I knew he was a piece of shit already, but human trafficking is a whole other level of terrible behavior.

    It takes a lot to stand out as an asshole when you’re among the rest of NFL owners. Kraft mostly kept to himself.

    Like, I'll say this: soliciting prostitution? Idk, kind of funny, maybe that sort of thing should be decriminalized, etc. etc.

    Participating in sex trafficking? Oh. The charges just got way more serious for him

  • Options
    rhylithrhylith Death Rabbits HoustonRegistered User regular
    He was charged for soliciting so he was a customer, not a ringleader.

    Not trying to handwave this because he still, as a person with the means to hire a sex worker who's in it by their own will, went to a human trafficking ring. Gross.

    Wait wait wait ... HE was trafficking women? Are we going with this? Is this the official story? Cuz holy shit, if he was involved in that, then god damn, get fucked.

    If he just solicited prostitution, who gives a fuck?

    There's nothing about him being a ringleader or personally trafficking women

    But the fact that he was soliciting prostitution from an "organization" that was engaging in sex trafficking makes the charges way more serious for him than previously

    If you solicit prostitution from a group that you know to be a trafficking ring, we should all give a fuck.

    Soliciting from an independent escort, sure, no one should give a shit, but that does not appear to be what he did.

    He's going to get a slap on the wrist, pay a fine and nobody will be talking about it in 2 weeks.

    Again, is this the story? That he knew? That he was involved? Because if not, IDGAF. It’s shrug-worthy.

    If he knew, which is up for debate since all I’ve seen is tweets without solid sourcing or verified facts, then he can fuck right off.
