Yep! Only starting last year I believe, did they add an extra non-conference game. Due to the extra 17th game. Before that, it was on a 4 year cycle. Which it still is of course, just the added 1 that could potentially happen and cause them to play sooner.

If things really get crazy they could of course meet in the Super Bowl. And lastly at astronomical odds, if there was division realignment. Like how some years back, Tampa Bay moved from the NFC North (which made total sense right?) And Seattle from the AFC, to the NFC. It shouldn’t happen, but will get interesting if the NFL does decide to add a few expansion franchises in the future.

>But even in the Netherlands, there are signs of speedskating’s lack of standing in world sport. Thialf is not in Amsterdam or Rotterdam, but Heerenveen, a town of about 30,000 in the pastoral northern province of Friesland, which can feel set apart from the rest of the country. It is the equivalent of TrackTown USA in Eugene, Ore.

Whoever wrote this piece has absolutely zero understanding about the Netherlands. Thialf is in Friesland because Friesland has the biggest skating history in the Netherlands, with the Elfstedentocht, which is a legendary skating event, and a lot of lakes and canals where people skate every winter (if the weather allows for it).

It's also the third fastest track in the world, not some amateur skating rink.

Yes at this rate Lamar was about to sign then his pen ran out of ink as he scribbled and he got a text saying New England offered him a dollar more and a working pen.

Mickey Loomis is a wizard when it comes to the Cap. We’re over the cap, BAD, every year. And somehow he manages to figure it out. Lol

think about it, excitement always comes before so that the disappointment hits harder! Maybe you guys will go to the superbowl again but blow a 38-3 lead? Anything is possible!

Unlike his brother, David Carr was one tough SOB. David has never, ever seen an offensive lineman who wasn’t a part-time turnstile.

They will sign Lamar in ATL. Lamar will either get injured his first season or his play will fall off a cliff, à la Cam Newton.

Saints shut out the Raiders last season so they won’t play again in the regular season until 2026 at Las Vegas, unless both teams finish in the same place in their respective divisions this upcoming season in which case they will play the following season (2024) at New Orleans.

They basically backloaded his contract, with a big signing bonus now and will push his huge cap hit back to years 3 and 4, basically what they’ve been doing for the last few years.
