OFFICIAL NFL Discussion Thread: 2015-16 Season - Congrats to the Denver Broncos and their fans! SB 5

[stillin729]

I struggle to find NHL games to watch despite it being my favorite sport because of where I live.
I also did not get to play hockey as a youth because Virginia.
My 10 year old cousin gets free trips to Sweden and Canada to get hockey lessons that could have been me

Yup I wanted to play hockey when I was young but we couldn't afford it so I had to play baseball and basketball. It wasn't til I was 13 that I was able to get a job and save to buy equipment but at that point you are playing with dudes who started at age 5.

I wanted to play hockey as a kid too. Played soccer, basketball, baseball instead.

Football is next to God in the south. It dominates the week for 3 days. Friday night lights, college teams on saturdays, and NFL sundays. Basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, hockey etc can't compete with it. It's tamed violence, aggression and masculine. It's the typical "mans" game. 

 

[RyGuy45]

Current NFL TV contracts:

FOX/CBS/NBC: $28 billion deal in total running through 2022.
ESPN: $15.2 billion deal running through 2021.
DirecTV: $12 billion deal running through 2022.
Thursday Night Football: $450 million annually (for now)

 

[mister friendly]

Also playing Football is less time intensive relative to other Sports like Basketball, Baseball, Hockey and Soccer.

Football you practice for like 3 hours during the season and lift. Receivers and Quarterbacks may get some extra passes in. Mainly Football is a Sport about toughness, intelligence and athletic ability.

So expensive I remember spending like a grand of my saved money on equipment

I wanted to be Eric Lindros

Speaking of concussions...

 

I was in pure bliss when the Rangers traded for Lindros. My next fav. player after Gretzky. 

 

[HNL HI]

I didn't even know anything about hockey. I just loved going to the skating rink as a kid. Thought about joining a adult league but the initial cost always been a factor.

 

[dmxfury]

Guys in the hockey thread can hook you up with good deals on equipment for that level


Playing goalie...:x

Darn near made me broke at times

 

[freddie black]

It ain't the first time he's mentioned it. 

 

 

[rolaholic]

Chad's always been an...enigmatic dude :x

 

[HNL HI]

Peeing on a jelly fish or Portuguese man o war sting is supposed to help, at least that was what I was lead to believe as a kid. Glad I never had to find out.

 

[...So]

 

Thinking the NFL will disappear is foolish to me

The quality of the product might change but it'll still be as big as big gets

It most likely won't disappear but it'll probably be quite a bit different from the way it is right now at its peak. I can't see it getting much bigger than it already is.

The question is...

Can anybody see Toronto getting an NFL team?  Or any overseas country getting an NFL team?  Maybe both?

How Toronto or other Canadian cities aren't in front of London on any expansion plans blows my mind . The logistics would be so much easier on top of being much cheaper.

They need a new stadium and Buffalo is close.

 

[rolaholic]

Don't know why but I have a feeling that a new stadium in/around Toronto might be cheaper than a long term Wembley stadium lease . Unless they can share a stadium with one of the local soccer clubs which I can't really see but $ talks

 

[...So]

  So true. I'm still not sure about London though...

  I would like for it to happen for obvious reasons but who knows.

 

[silverbackhoney]

When do you guys see the NFL adding more teams?
You don't see them just relocating?
