nfreeman Posted August 7, 2020 Report Posted August 7, 2020 Good. I will say though that I think a decision by an NFL player to opt out would be more justifiable and logical, in terms of virus risk, than a similar decision by an NBA player or an NHL player. I think the NBA and NHL bubbles are safer than living at home, while playing in the NFL, which is going without a bubble, is riskier than living at home. Quote
LawnWranglers Posted August 12, 2020 Report Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) This is great news. Is this the first head coach extension during the Pegula era? Edited August 12, 2020 by LawnWranglers Quote

ubkev Posted August 20, 2020 Report Posted August 20, 2020 Portnoy is still trolling Goodell. He's the head of Barstool Sports for those who don't know. And Roger Goodell hates him. He would do this just to piss off Goodell. It's also the same reason why he won't be given consideration from Tim and Kerry. Quote

I remember a tweet earlier this year making the rounds of him wanting to fire any barstool employee who tried to join a union or something and over the next couple days their site absolutely blew up. He leans into the hate from what I can gather. He's like a pro wrestling heel. Quote
