I was at that Stones RFK tour. I went to the show where it rained. Had a wonderful time. Living Color was fun as the opening act too.

Detroit. The NFL has been telling that city it has a pro team since 1930.

Ha - the Detroit Lions were born in 1934.

We cannot be held responsible for the 1930-33 record of the Portsmouth Spartans (although since they were 28-16-7 during that timeframe it would actually help the winning percentage)

This riff shook RFK. Never felt any concert venue actually rock where as I thought it was coming down.

My memory of that riff is pretty fuzzy.

Different old, decrepit venue, but I saw the Grateful Dead at JFK in Philadelphia on 7/7/89. The fire marshals didn't want to let the show go on because of the compromised structural integrity of JFK with 100,000 fans. They decided to let the show happen because I think they were afraid of rioting angry fans. We didn't realize it then, but it was the last event to ever take place there, with good reason. That place was ready to fall down. Had it been AC/DC or the Who, it probably would've crumbled.

Most of us were too intoxicated to be worried about being crushed.

It’s not that nobody wants them, I’m sure a number of cities would dream of having ANY NFL team. It’s more that they would never think of leaving Detroit, the fans are so loyal here.

Desperate teams do desperate things.

The whole thing is pathetic. They bamboozled themselves into thinking they could just will this into reality. Love that they are paying two QBs and still apparently have no starting qb they want for 2022. While being down a shitload of draft picks.

There really is nothing worse in the nfl than being a browns fan at this moment. And yes, we know there’s plenty of competition.

Speaking of which we are due for the sudden emergence of a brand new member who happens to be an obnoxious, useless Browns fan. What’s the hold up?

On a lighter note, they should just skip all the traditional pro bowl stuff and have a "low risk of injury" Olympics. Golf, Table tennis, bag toss.

Basically what it is anyway. AS you all know, I used to LOVE the pro bowl but it's worthless now.
Did the NFL say what they are doing or are they talking it over? I know they are goign to change it and most likely scrap the game, but ratings are big so it'll be more events or something.

I don't want to go down too deep but I don't know if that's really accurate...ish. Tyreek Hill was there and lost a race to Micah Parsons, Justin Jefferson won the catch contest etc but yes many people don't show up because of the way way it's set up. Very simply...jesus I can't believe I'm boring you all again with my pro bowl schtick....you need to move it AFTER the SB like we used to...that's just simple. Many good players are in the SB and none come the week before to PB (duh).
Starting with that is half the battle. Obviously the game doesn;t work so you have to change that.

I 100% agree with that. I would watch it then, as long as full contact just like a SB game.

They almost have to scrap it, it’s absolutely unwatchable and no matter what they try and do players are not going to risk injury for an exhibition game.

I really have no issues with them scrapping it, especially as they tack on more games. There aren't any other sports where risk of injury is so great. It just doesn't really work for football, there's no incentive for the players, nor for the clubs to send them.

Whatever happens though, the voting needs to change. They should also just drop the 'pro bowler' tag and refer to them as 'all madden'. Boom!

Well stick 10 people in a room and figure it out. Maybe they need to think outside the box like NHL and have smaller 3 on 3 games etc.
Obviously they are going to eliminate lineman, that's were all the lolly gagging comes from.
