If anyone has any serious questions about the salary cap, and how it works, or anything, post here, or PM me, always open to talking about the salary cap.

If anyone has any questions about Baalke, Roman or spreadsheets, same rule applies.

Are players allowed to have intimate relations with cheerleaders?

The raiders, for many many years, are the only team to allow it.

LOL...the real question is, has any cheerleader ever tried out NOT to try and hook up with a baller?

I live in Orange County CA., the weather is perfect and the parks are full of boys and girls playing............Soccer. The goal posts have nets in front of them and the yard markers have been erased by soccer lines. I never see kids practicing or even playing touch football, nothing. Very disturbing, if this isn't the beginning of the end I don't know what is.

children of millennials are even softer than their parents.

That's a fact. Pussified generation indeed.

There is a real disconnect between the national past time and what kids are playing.

Soccer is definitely the sport of choice across the nation for children.

No kids play football any more.

It is really sad.

It was the same way when I was growing up in the bay 30 years ago.

We'll stay off your lawn, bit really nothing has changed.

Yes, it is funny.

Soccer is really America's No 1 sport for kids but the media sticks to the line it is for girls and sissys and not a man sport.

Helps perpetuate the NFL as the only thing watched during winter.

I'm seeking opinions on what is the best NFL preview magazine out there - one which includes reviews of each team's draft picks, thorough team reviews where you can tell the writer did some research and shows good knowledge of each team, etc. I saw in the store today what looked like a pretty good preview mag by Athlon...also saw one from Street & Smith's, which I've bought in the past. Just curious about thoughts on what is the best one out there - any feedback is appreciated.

Why do the Raider fans say they have the most loyal fan base when they were getting blacked out every home game?

I coach HS football. We had 120 kids at spring practice. Football is doing fine.

Here in Australia, all sports are club based, and while many schools have teams these are more supplemental to the club sport scene. To get to the top tier, a player must excel in lower tier competitions - ie, privilege or supposed scholastic ability count diddly-squat and even the educationally disadvantaged are a part of the "gene pool" and can succeed provided they demonstrate the required skills.
How is it that over there in the US, so much "prime time" sport is owner/franchise based with majority feed in from college programs?

Just curious how the structure developed.
