NFL (2025 Season)

[SEWIGuy]

Have to rant for a sec after seeing internet discourse: how on God's green earth is it still a popular opinion that the AFC is better than the NFC? The NFC went 47-33 vs the AFC last year and won the Super Bowl in a blowout.

It's well past time to get rid of the AFC and NFC.

Why?

There's no point really. The conferences aren't geographic like the NBA and NHL. Outside of your own division, you play 6 games against your own conference and 5 against the other, so we might as well be measuring teams against the entire league instead of by conference. Just have 8 divisions and seed the division winners 1-8.

Quarterbacks, which a lot of people seem to think are the only position in football nowadays.

The circus' next stop is in Pittsburgh. Rodgers to sign there tomorrow.

[Max Rockatansky]

Ah, that's one way to ensure a losing season so Mike Tomlin gets fired.

Thank god Aaron Rodgers is not on the Texans schedule this year.  My team is 1-5 all-time record against any team with him on the roster; and winless when he's actually starting.  After the 2008 win at Lambeau Field, the Texans lost their last five games against Aaron Rodgers.

By this point he is a mediocre quarterback with flashes of his old self at times.

They said that when he first joined the Jets.  I don't know what it is, but he always saves his best games against the Texans (and Lions).

He didn't look so great against the Lions in his last game in Green Bay.

He was worse than that when he was with the Jets.

Incorrect on both counts. 1-4 against Rodgers and he started all of those games.

Not surprising that the most racist POTUS since the 1960s Civil Rights movement wants them and the Cleveland Guardians to go back to their former racist names.

How many of you plan to watch the Hall-of-Fame Game between the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday (8PM Eastern on NBC)? I know I'll be watching!

Chargers Sued by Season-Ticket Holder Over Game Moved to Brazil
A fan lawsuit seeks a refund for a Chargers home game that was moved to Brazil.

The Chargers are being sued by a season-ticket holder over the team's opener in Brazil.

The plaintiff, Devin Abney, accuses the Chargers of breach of contract and false advertising. The complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday, included graphics that display the Chiefs logo in a 2025 season-ticket advertisement as a home game, months before the game was moved to Brazil.

At first I thought this was a bullsh*t suit because the season ticket holder was induced to purchase a season ticket package because of the Chiefs only to have that game moved.

But as I understand it, the Chargers had a home game moved to a neutral site, but aren't reimbursing season ticket holders for the cost of that ticket? That's ridiculous.

Maybe the NFL operates differently, but Notre Dame often plays neutral site games as the home team (2026 at Lambeau) and they don't force us to buy those tickets--they're optional.

I don't know if its the NFL, but the Chargers sold a nine-game season ticket package, only to have a game moved. According to the article, teams like the Packers would reimburse ticket holders for the moved game, but the Chargers aren't doing that.

Maybe?  I can't say I'm very invested in pre-season football anymore.  The Lions went 4-0 in the pre-season the year they went 0-16 in the regular season.

[SEWIGuy]

Yeah, I have little interest in pre-season NFL. I will watch it if I am bored with everything else, but NFL teams are increasingly using the beginning of a long season to ramp themselves up, so its usually a bunch of back-ups and wannabees playing bad football.

Different sport, but the Washington Capitals have moved a preseason game against the Flyers this September from DC to Hershey, Pennsylvania, which is where the Caps' AHL affiliate plays (the Hershey Bears). They're adjusting the cost of season tickets to reflect it; the adjustment shows up via a decrease in the monthly payment for those of us who pay that way. (Their ticket prices for preseason are half of what they charge for regular-season games, at least for season-ticket holders, so we're essentially getting refunded for half a game multiplied by the number of seats on the account.)

If you're paying fewer games at home, you should refund the ticket price for the cancelled game.

I haven't yet gotten around to watching this past Sunday's F1 race, so I'll probably watch that instead. I'd watch it tonight except that our next-door neighbors, who are moving away this weekend, are coming over for dinner.
