It was something about the likely new owner of the Panthers and how he'd be the second richest owner in the NFL. No ownage unfortunately.

So what happens if Peyton Manning owns the Panthers? Similar to Michael Jordan owning the Hornets?

Apparently it's looking more and more like it will be David Tepper, a hedge fund guy who already owns a stake in the Steelers (5% = 122 million dollars) and that the sale will almost certainly be a record. It's likely to be over 2.5 billion dollars.

At least it isn't the payday lending guy

That's the same amount Lowtax needs to fix this site.

I would prefer my favorite athlete mans to not have brain injuries for my entertainment, but... are you not entertained?

Solution: Esports every sport, give all virtual players 99s, then all we have are thumb and eyestrain injuries as our appointed player plays our official game of Madden 2025 to determine wins and losses. Stream it on Twitch as we all use our VR goggles to see the viewpoint of our favorite player, or to have virtual 50 yard line seats every time.

You can still have the stadiums if you want.

Bonus: You could bring back All-Star squads of your favorite team and play those too in an alternate eSports league, the ASFL. Bring back the Dome Patrol with Drew Brees? Yes please.

Brees is pretty good at not taking sacks for a slow old dude, but it would be hilarious to see him scramble for a first down.

It's not usage really. He had 148 targets last year. Finished 2nd in yardage. He only had 88 catches last year though and the biggest concern is his lack of touchdowns. Last year was just a down year altogether and can be summarized with the #DoTheJulio dropped TD gif against the Panthers.

My bad, then. It just seemed like he was a nonfactor in a bunch of games, but 88 catches and a low TD count would cause that impression too.

Zach Strief was officially announced as Jim Henderson's replacement as the play-by-play announcer for the Saints. So with Deuce as the color analyst guy, we've got two former Saints who played together as our home announcing team with drunk uncle Bobby Hebert still having his talk show.

Never heard of a former player getting the main play-by-play gig right after he retired, but I hope he does a hell of a job and is a pure homer with calls.
