Ross Angeles posted:Qualcomm is a dump and Petco Park is beautiful I refuse to believe there's a stadium called Petco Park. Qualcomm might be a dump, but at least if you squint at the name you can pretend it's a French officer who fought in the Revolution or something.

Benne posted:The Kingdome was a loving shithole and the day it got demolished is still the happiest day of my life I liked it when I was a kid, I do miss the era of stadiums that weren't named for corporate sponsors. the two years Seahawk Stadium hadn't sold the naming rights were nice.

Cruel and Unusual posted:Does anyone remember, or even better, have video evidence of Dennis Miller's stint on Monday Night Football? I've read some terrible quotes, but I feel they don't do him justice. I wasn't watching football then, but was that before or after 9/11 drove him insane?

It's hilarious to me when i'm watching an NFL stream and it's SkySports so the halftime commentators are 2 lovely American college players who are willing to fly to England and the one guy in England who gives a poo poo about the NFL. Especially if it's the second Monday night game because that means it's like 3 am there and you realize British sportscasters who are good at it don't have to work at 3am.

Serotonin posted:I was watching the Falcons Broncos game and the commentators kept going on about the Broncos QB being new to the huddle, not being used to it. I'm assuming it's something to do with the difference between college/NFL in terms of tactics but could someone explain. Seahawks are gonna stomp all over them next Sunday.

Volkerball posted:Or if he hadn't gone to prison and gone back to starting at almost square one. Vick is kind of a tragic figure in that he could've been one of the best ever, and that's our loss, but luckily it's easy to not feel sorry for him. He went to prison for hosting and betting on dog fights, the tragic part is the NFL caring more about the gambling than the dog fights.

Volkerball posted:That system is run by league officials, not the teams. The back up helmets are kept under lock and key, and use is monitored. It's not really something you can exploit. Bluetooth is getting smaller and smaller.
