Yeah we were discussing how the populace sees someone who turns down hundreds on millions on principles, chappelle was the example that came to mind.

my point was basically that the way things look now based on popular opinion and public perception doesn’t always age well. Not that I think ABs situation is gonna age well, just saying a bunch of shit because it’s a forum and fuck it why not

Yeah, still a bit different than like an NFL player situation though. Chappelle made more money than those guys, and he, quite frankly, can come back easily. Chappelle didn't walk away because he was being forced to do something he didn't want to do, via mandates or protocols or whatever. He walked away because he felt like everybody was treating him like a side show freak and using him to make money for themselves. Basically, he's more like Andrew Luck. He walked away because he wanted to, not because he refused to do something that somebody else was requiring him to do.

I have no doubt that people's perception about COVID will change dramatically in the short term. Once there's actual therapeutic medications, via OTC or prescription, that reduce symptoms and make COVID more manageable, vaccines are almost irrelevant at that point. They'll exist in the same way that flu vaccines do, meaning half the people get one, half don't, they're only mildly effective, and people move on. There will be numerous treatment methods. We're just not there yet.

The problem for somebody like AB or even Lamar is they don't have the luxury to just walk away, take a few years off, and then come back and everybody pretend like nothing happened and start paying them a ton. If AB leaves for a year or two, he's done done. The league won't take him back.

Chappelle could take 3 decades off and come back and still kill it on the comedy scene. There's no expiration date on that.

could have been cool but also because of the light til late there it never felt like a night game - the colour rush worked pretty nicely in that game

the all-blacks have to come out in the dark lol not in late-afternoon

Yes. That's what I meant by primetime lol. ONLY in the dark.

I mean I haven't looked up the rules, but I'm pretty sure you rarely see any games where both teams are wearing "home" color uniforms. I.e., if we play in Washington, and they're wearing red, I don't think we're allowed to wear purple. Otherwise, teams would rarely wear white road uniforms, yet everybody has them.

How confident are we in Stanley returning to full strength? Is it a huge possibility that his career could be over?

we dont have much of an idea either way - he seems pretty confident... that's why he's getting the surgery and going through the rehab

only really been fans who've had any thought that this might be the end
 
I'm gonna predict that the team that wins the superbowl will be the healthiest. I know this is typically true in most years, but I fell like how injuries and covid have been across the league this year, just getting to the finish line with your guys is a bigger deal than usual.

looking at injuries (both i/r and injury lists) here are the teams with the fewest injuries:

Bills
Chiefs
Chargers
Seahawks

let's disregard the seahawks for now because they're not very good

  • the bills are really healthy long-term - they've had a few recurring short-term injuries and a couple of guys missing at the moment of importance but they're mostly in a good place - losing Tre White to I/R is a blow but they've been otherwise unaffected by season-ending injuries to major players
  • the chiefs have a couple of issues short-term at right tackle but their most significant i/r loss is mike Remmers but that might not be a season-ender even so
  • chargers have the shortest injury list of any team in the league (in terms of players on i/r and players on the injury report) - oday aboushi is a big loss for the season and it hurts not having bryan bulaga but he is expected to return at some point

if we're purely looking at health then those 3 teams are the class of the NFL

The NFL has so much parity this year. You'd have to think that the Bills and Chiefs are very much contenders in the AFC. I think you throw us, the Titans, the Pat's and the Bengals and there's your AFC playoff picture

that was a colour rush game
Click to expand...
Didn’t know that didn’t count lol

some color rush games had all whites

also I don’t recall it being labeled an official color rush game, at that point teams were just choosing to wear color rush at times, prior to that they were officially sanctioned
