    Wouldn't surprise me, since most things around here seem to be violations of some sort

    I'm curious if there's a Vegas line on the over/under of games AB plays this year. I'd set it at 8, and take the under. The guy is a legitimate cancer

    Agreed, and don't get me started on Tomlin. Should have been fired years ago. But then again, he did manage to keep him in line for a few years. Mayock and Gruden didn't even make it a week...

    No worries.

    You can openly drink on the sidewalks in Vegas.

    The "pedestrian bridge" will consist of the closing of Hacienda between Mandalay Bay and the stadium on Gameday.

    There is an overpass crossing I-15 to the stadium.

    I ALREADY have plans to have a suite at Mandalay Bay reserved for the 1st Vegas Raiders Home Game.

    Most people think that the Home Opener will be on the First Monday Night in 2020.

    My first NFL game was also at the L.A. Coliseum, late 50's Rams and the Packers. I wasn't even a teenager yet.

    Don't know when tailgating became part of going to a NFL game ?

    I'm guessing it first started with college football games ?

    So I did a short snoop and poop googling.

    I'm going with the Packers because when it comes to football, Packer fans are # 1.

    Cracker is not racial?
    What about Egg Plant?
    Or porch monkey?

    If it is ok to call a white boss a cracker, is it ok to call a your black boss a egg plant?

    Maybe. He hasn’t been too much of a head case it seems since entering the league. At least not in a way that garners national attention.

    I was wondering what happened to the pink pussyhats that so many liberal feminnazis wore just a year or two ago ?

    Doing some googling and what Google decided what I should know, the pink pussyhats are now politically incorrect.

    Why doesn't it surprise me that black on white racism is tolerated? Remember the white weatherman who was fired when he mistakenly uttered the word coon? The left, some of them on this board, said that was white nationalism to the core. But not cracker. Why?

    But this is the NFL, a sport I stopped watching 2 years ago and haven't looked back.

    And isn't it funny the left never mentions income inequality in the NFL?

    Or how black men are paid to sell and sometimes destroy their bodies or cripple themselves all for the enjoyment and profiteering of white people?

    Does anyone know the total carbon footprint of a single Monday night game, including travel?

    These days the only thing about the NFL that gives me a smirk is when I hear the ridiculous names of some of the players.

    What I've learned over the last two years of not watching football is that nothing in my life has changed except I have more free time on Sundays.

    Goodell, you're an unpatriotic wimp.

    Egg plant is a food just like crackers.

    So Calling a Caucasian a cracker is cool, but calling a black a egg plant is disgusting?

    What’s the difference?

    Don’t you think that eggplant resembles blacks more than Caucasian’s resemble crackers?

    I’d take Dez off the table. Yes he has had his diva moments, but he grew up with a crackhead whore for a mother(for real) and an absent father who had another family, and lived across the street basically. He had one messed up childhood. I do know(being a cowboys fan) 99% of the “Dez is throwing a tantrum on the sidelines” announcers ended up being wrong as the player mics showed he was just firing up his team with things like, we can get this done, let’s go, come on guys I know we’re better than this stuff.

    Oh, and Dez caught it. Lol

    Marvin is probably the only one who wasn’t like that. Maybe Amari Cooper. He seems pretty chill.

    Antonio Browns word vs Mike Mayock word

    Unfortunately for me Vegas isn’t taking bets on this one.

    What is the common denominator with this group of players ?

    Hint .... Wes Walker, Steve Largent & Julian Edelman do not fit.

    Lots of them played for the cowboys!!

    I see what your saying but here's where I think your comparison fails there are 100s of all time great black receivers vs only a few all time great white receivers. Maybe thered be more diva white receivers but they didn't reach the greatness to get the same scrutiny.

    Also what about quiet black receivers like Marvin Harrison,Ty Hilton,Donald Driver, Julio Jones, AJ Green, Roddy White ,Reggie Wayne ,Jerry Rice ,Larry Fitzgerald, Tim Brown ?

    I’ve heard some things, but he played back in the day where they didn’t report that stuff too often. Especially when it involved Rice. He had an amazing work ethic, but....

    There is this one though:


    “Maybe I’ve been spoiled over the years, but this is not 49ers football,” he said. “Or maybe the Man’s giving me a sign.

    “If you ask me if I’m having a good time, no. Is this something that might want to make you retire, hell yes. All I know is I’m not having a good time. Maybe it’s time for me to move on.”

    Yes, that’s Jerry Rice saying he’s not having fun and threatening retirement in 1998. And that was after a win in which he had the second-most targetson the team and scored a touchdown. And he had 10 catches on 19 targets the week before! He was was leading the NFL in receptions at the time! Yet, he was apparently so frustrated that he thought J.J. Stokes’ 8 targets and Terrell Owens’ two touchdowns might be a sign from God.

    https://thebiglead.com/2016/10/05/j...a-good-time-maybe-its-time-for-me-to-move-on/

    TLDR, even the greatest can have their diva moments. Except Marvin. He was not a diva in a league full of divas.

    If Mayock did not say it, then it was reported by someone who heard it.

    So what is the difference in calling a Caucasian a cracker and calling a black a egg plant?

    You never answered that question.

    The eggplant by far is the better comparison.
