I think Jay-Z has turned his life around sufficiently...no reason to re-litigate the past.
Oh yeah, I agree with you...the league's rules enforcement is atrocious.Quote

i was trying to make a point about the league. while undeniably successful, i think that both jay-z & his wife are hugely overrated. more power to them i guess. in the meantime, the league is arbitrary & capricious. the same rules don't seem to apply to everyone, if you can even decipher the rules in the first place. the tyreek hill situation for instance is gauling. especially if you have heard the tape his baby mama made. scary stuff. for an incident that was never prosecuted, seahawk jarran reed was suspended 2 years after the fact for 6 games. of course, we have no way of knowing all of the pertinent facts in either case but the optics aren't good regardless.

I'm sure Jay-Z and Beyonce won't get much, if any, love on this site given the target age/demographics of most Stones fans, but what they've achieved business-wise is remarkable. I'd love to see a black team owner...as sketchy as Jay's past is, there are probably some other pro-sports owners who have done as bad or worse in different ways.

Good points!
And I wasn't trying to call you old, haha. I'm not young by any stretch...I was just saying that most Stones fans are generally not tuned into hip hop.

jets have pretty much the entire starting o-line already hurt and 3 of the top 5 CBs and the season isn't underway yet
Even as a Pats fan, I've started every season the last few years thinking, "Well, THIS is definitely the year Brady falls off the cliff and ages catches up to him" but there's no reason to think that UNTIL it actually happens.Quote

New England is the team to beat as usual,

Yes, he looked pretty wobbly at times last season and all his numbers were down, but he hung in there and did what he had to do when the time came.
They've been to 4 of the last 5 Super Bowls, and have won 3. Just think about how absurd that is...Belichick deserves 75% of the credit for that, but if the rest of the league can't figure out how to beat him, that's their problem.

Amusing line below (from the current Rolling Stone Magazine's cover story, issue 1330) on Billie Eilish's tour behavior (not collocating with the Stones'):
"She heads inside to cool off with a gluten-free vegan burrito (a lifelong vegetarian, she has never eaten meat—although she did once accidentally swallow an ant in a glass of soy milk). She washes it down with sparkling water, because her mom doesn’t like her drinking soda. The Stones in ’72 this is not."

1 day to go until the holy day: start of the real season. We are quite excited in Seattle having totally fleeced Houston to get Clowney. We gave up a guy who was going to be cut, a third stringer & 3rd round draft pick. & Houston is paying half his salary! Even if he leaves after this year, we would recoup a similar draft pick as compensation. This is GM of the year material when you add it to turning 4 draft picks into 11 this year & signing the 2 main players to long term deals. The Hawks seem to be flying under the radar this year. All this does is put a chip on their shoulder. Just how we like it! Our defense is going to be fierce this year & I think they can take the division away from the Rams. Look out! GO HAWKS!
