I'm just not interested in trying to chase the NFL plan of trying to squeeze more money out of us.

I can't blame taxpayers for not wanting to pick up the tab. The politicians always talk about the huge economic impact. But for most people it just costs them money.

Guess I won't be watching.

Probably not.

Impressive game last night. They are just relentless.

I remember the 1975 season too. Undefeated and then lost in the tournament. I was crushed. Then followed it up in 1976 going undefeated to the championship. It was really amazing.

Doesn't everyone do that? It's my favorite move! But seriously, I decided to rewatch all of ARs games again and my opinion hasn't changed. He really has some skills. I'm excited to see what he can do this year and I hope a second training camp really helps him since he missed most of his rookie season. Having JT back there will be huge. Two serious running threats. And I think all of the receivers we have would be enough. He needs to improve his decision making and passing accuracy, but I can say that about 20 starters in this league. It's a high bar. And I am concerned about too many hits and injuries. Should be fun to watch and I hope Flacco never has to play.

Well, Purdue looked great today. Everyone showed up. If they can keep up that kind of intensity they will be a challenge for anyone.

Now growing up in Indiana I enjoyed going to Turkey Run, Clifty Falls, fishing on the Wabash and the strip pits in the SW of the state. But I always felt there should be more. More wilderness to explore. That's why I love it out West.

And I have mostly liked the Packers over the years. Football tradition!

This conversation, although not on topic, is giving me a good laugh. I left Indy when I was 19 and don't get back much. After leaving I just knew I wouldn't move back - the country is just too big! I do prefer the mountains. Currently live in Spokane and went fly fishing the last 2 weeks. On the Coeur d'alene River in Northern Idaho and in the Yakima River canyon.

Seems to me that is the exact argument. Some say he will bust, others say he will break out. I say nobody really knows anything. Lots of opinions but as in most things in life we will have to wait and see.

You think Bill would go to a team where the owner isn't likely to give him total control?

I don't feel that way at all. I am interested in the development of AR. Other QBs being injured make no difference. I do understand seeing this as a "glass half full" situation where he has a chance to learn from the bench, but he is also rehabbing which just isn't the best situation. He needs time on the field, whether in practice or games, to really grow.

My only disappointment with this season is the AR injury. Just not a great way to start your career. But even with Minshew it's been an interesting year and more wins than I expected.
