All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Keeping the politics out of it, this is great news. The rams need to be the team that heads back to LA...and pronto. They suck, no one goes and they originally are from LA. It makes too much sense.
If at the end of the season the rams end up back in LA, that's one huge problem avoided for the Bills.
Rush is a bad idea for the NFL... they shouldn't even allow it, and if it gets close they will have to step in...
If Rush is an NFL owner I will stop supporting the NFL. I despise him and his kind that much. He offers nothing positive to the human race... NOTHING, in fact he sets us back as a species IMO
nope...NFL won't play in LAs Vegas due to gambling. in the NFL You can beat, kill, or maim a person, but you can't bet against the spread. Only the highest moral character for the NFL

I hate Rush. Not for his supposed politics, but for the kind of meddling whore he is. He isn't nearly as conservative as he pretends to be, but makes millions off of his charade, all while stirring the pot of hatred and divisiveness.

The hang-up in Vegas is games played in state or by in-state teams have to come off the board and the NFL would never want a game taken off the board each week.
They survive and DirectTV survives on gambling, they would never kill the golden goose.
the question is, "how big is rush's proposed stake?" If he is only pitching in like 20-$100MM, there are plenty of other investors to substitute in. if he was carryinga bigger burden of $250MM to $600MM, then that bid is pretty much dead in the water.
I think part of the problem is not what Rush believes, but how vocally he believes it.
the NFL owners are very smart business people...there is no way they let somebody into the group that is despised by half the population and disliked by another 25%. And Rush can poo-poo all he wants that black players won't play for him. People keep lists of racist things he has said. Solid stars are coming out and saying they won't play for them. What happens when enough of the league (white and black) says they will boycott? The NFL won't touch this one with a 50 foot pole.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
the NFL has already made it crystal clear that they care about only one thing. They want the money. I bet you that rush deal isn't even close to the LA deal, so they try and take teh high road and say its because of his rude and pathetic personality.
Truth is if Rush walked in with a white hood witha bag of $1.2BN for the team, the owners would let it happen immediately because it'll just push up their teams values higher.
Business no longer has values or morals. it's pure greed. And when they say it isn't, it's because that person isn't paying enough.

That's my point...if Rush was a racist but was quiet about it, I'm sure the owners wouldn't care. I think Jim Irsay's comments about Rush were telling. He didn't criticize Rush's beliefs, just the outspokenness of them.
He's unpopular with the masses, thus the owners won't be on board with it.

the owners have criminals on their rosters. People who've beaten other people, broken laws that most people don't break. players who kill other people, players who kill other animals, the Raiderse have a coach who may go to jail midseason.
they don't give two ****s about the image. They want the money.
i guarantee you the rush bid isn't competitive enough. If it was, they'll let him through.
