    I agree. Reality is here in the US most major professional teams are part of the entertainment industry rather then the way a team is linked to a place back home with a specific identity. There are no left wing right wing working class rich guys etc teams here. They are franchises as they call them which are just another part of the overall entertainment industry really.

    Yeah I get that, must be crap for fans of teams that move away from them though.

    Who’s your shout for the playoffs?

    Without a doubt for the fans. They also very often leave the cities they left behind with large debt. The now LA Rams when they left St Louis left behind a massive stadium right in the central area of St Louis which sits mostly empty and for which the city of St Louis is still on the hook for to the tune of $144. Very often in the past the teams have basically blackmailed cities saying if you don't give us massive money to help build our new stadium they we leave town.

    For me I think the AFC is tough to see beyond the Patriots once again. In the NFC the LA Rams will be tough to beat I think.

    If you're playing the Bengals it might be an idea to.......y'know.......cover AJ Green. He's only been kicking our * for years. Maybe someone should have told 'Wink' Martindale.

    Must have assumed Humphrey was good enough one on one. Very silly.

    On to the next one. Some positives last night like John Brown and Kenny Young though.

    I have been a gamepass owner for 5 years previously. Haven't purchased it yet for this season however.

    The Josh Gordon story is so frustrating. So much talent going to waste. It's sad to watch.

    Genuinely think I’d be a better kicker than Gonzalez
