More specifically whatever the fuck AT&T Park is now Most importantly, this means that the Raiders get to continue to have a baseball diamond in the middle of their field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should absolutely use that as a gimmick in their new Vegas stadium with the fake turf. That would be a pretty simple way to give their games a unique feel to them and like you said it would just feel right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 So, it looks like Carson Wentz has just lost his starter job: First job only lasts 2 years. Typical millennial. smdh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) And Carson Wentz Nick Foles has informed the Eagles he's exercising his $2M buyout option. He is now a free agent.

Contentious C Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 You mean Foles. This was always a set of moves designed to trade Foles for a draft pick. A little silly and byzantine, but the choice was this or let him walk for nothing, so I suppose it was the right move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Fixed. Btw, Rapaport said that the Eagles still retain the right to franchise Foles. It would cost $25M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Quote Both moves were expected, with Foles paying the team $2 million to buy back his freedom. The Eagles now can place the franchise tag on the backup quarterback in hopes of trading him. The franchise tag for quarterbacks is expected to be around $25 million for next season, with the window for use of the tag opening Feb. 19. Foles must sign the tag for the Eagles to trade him. The price for Foles is expected to be around the third round, Schefter reports. By placing the franchise tag on Foles and seeking a trade, the Eagles control where Foles ends up. The Giants and Washington both likely enter the offseason in the market for a quarterback. So Philadelphia can keep Foles from ending up with an NFC East rival.

Mister TV Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 6 hours ago, sabremike said: Why do I think calls will mysteriously always be going against the Niners for at least the next decade after this? Nah, the 49ers and NFL want the Raiders to play at Levi's Stadium if they can't get a deal with the Oakland Coliseum. Mark Davis is the issue, he wants no part of playing second fiddle to the 49ers and it seems would rather play at Frank Yuell Field 2.0 than be a tenant of the York kid. It's kind of odd that a team located 40some miles from San Francisco still can claim rights to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Either way, the Raiders are tenants. They will either pay rent and a cut of their action to a baseball team or another football team. Which do you think the football league would rather have happen? This way the 49ers get to kayfabe the "rivalry" with the Raiders and work the fans and make a show of "sticking up for The Bay" by complicating the Raiders relocation but actually being a good little soldier organization in the NFL mafia. And in the end they'll even make some extra revenue as an NFL Landlord.

Brian Fowler Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yup, the other shoe that dropped was that the Niners have no problem waiving those same rights in Santa Clara, where they'd be the ones getting paid rent. But Levi's is a fucking terrible location, and Davis doesn't want to be the Niners bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Quote Fans petition NFL to have Pitbull perform Super Bowl halftime show in 2020 Miami rapper recently narrated Super Bowl LIV hype video PETER BURKE fans get their way, when the Super Bowl returns to South Florida next year, Miami's very own Pitbull will be the headline act during the halftime show. A petition was recently created to get Pitbull to perform the halftime show at Super Bowl LIV. JP Gutierrez started the petition, which had more than 900 signatures as of Thursday morning. "Pitbull is Mr. 305 and Mr. Worldwide," Gutierrez wrote. "Pitbull needs to do the halftime show for Super Bowl 54 in Miami." There hasn't been a local performer in a South Florida Super Bowl halftime show since Miami's Gloria Estefan and Stevie Wonder shared the stage during Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999. Pitbull performed during a fan fest prior to Super Bowl XLIV -- the last to be held in South Florida -- in Miami Beach in 2010. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.local10.com/entertainment/fans-petition-nfl-to-have-pitbull-perform-super-bowl-halftime-show-in-2020 Sign the petition people!

Contentious C Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hire Art Shell? Also, I'm pretty sure Weird Al could share the stage with Pitbull, and not only that, but he could write a song parodying Pitbull that Pitbull wouldn't even understand was a parody. Book it, already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
