The Official 2016/2017 NFL Thread

If the NFL doesn't stop having games in other countries I'm seriously thinking about boycotting. Fuck the other countries. If they want to see football let them develop their own programs, watch it on teevee, or come to the US to watch.

I hope the next commissioner stops this non-sense.

I agree. I read this week that next season's first game may be held in China. London, Mexico City. It's all so unnecessary. It certainly doesn't benefit fans or players.

Or the local economies/municipalities that help pay for the stadiums.

That should be a hell of a game of fringe teams on the rise trying to prove they are contenders. I also hear that the Raiders have sold out on Season Ticket holders for the first time since EVER. These poor bastards have been waiting for that terrible owner to die for so damn long so they could build a decent team. Oaklamd is going to be in a frenzy as they start winning this year for the first time since like back in Grandpa's day.

The Raiders will be back to smashmouth football this year. It's been 14 years since they had a winning season.

Well actually, Barret Robbins never stopped smashing mouths. HE JUST PUNCHED A KID IN THE FACE

Zerox aren't you the Volvo guy? I might look for one.


That's about as NFL related as the Niners bringing in the corpse of Christian Ponder to replace that dude who tore his ACL.

Xerox is the Toyota Tacoma guy, kestrel is the Volvo guy....

Hate to see a corpse desecrated.

IDK, I kind of want to go to the Mexico DF game.

IDK, I kind of want to go to the Mexico DF game.

And that makes sense. You have family there? Or you just like to go to Mexico?

I'm just saying if other countries want football then they need to start their own leagues. Maybe at some point then we can have an actual "world" championship. Until then let the US teams play in the US.

 

[wazzuFreddo]

I like going to Mexico and I have never been to the DF (other than the airport)

 

[CocoLoco]

Don't they have other sporting events there? I hope not having NFL downtown is not what's stopping you from exploring it? I mean if you go to Mexico because you like visiting there why not just go to explore the culture that's already there? There have to be futbol games and bull fights I'd imagine?

I have no shortage on exposure to Mexican culture.

 

[CocoLoco]

Wait...really? Or do you mean you have no shortage of exposure to Mexican-US culture? It aint the same as being there.

Kinda like I laugh at anyone in the US who says they are Irish American. Yeah, like hell you are...unless you moved here from Ireland. Go back and tell the Irish you're "Irish American". Most will just call you a fat assed American and make you buy them a drink.

I looked up the Aztec Stadium. It doesn't seem to be in the heart of Mexico City. Seems to be on the southern skirts.
You sure that's where you want to go to watch a football game? I mean it's not in the old part of the city. Please forgive my ignorance as I'm using google maps to do the research and I've never been there myself.

Not after a dipshit kid hit-and-run and smashed my Tacoma. Now I'm a Honda Fit Sport guy.

Miami Dolphins sold their stadium naming rights to Hard Rock Cafe. Welcome to HARD ROCK STADIUM bishes.

No shortage of either, I'm in Mexico fairly frequently. Just thought it would be fun to go to a game with my friends down there.

And no, I'm not Mexican or Mexican-American, just a run of the mill white dude.

 

[Bay Arean]

Christian Ponder. O-M-G.

I'll be in seclusion until the first Warriors game.

DF is great. The smog will probably shorten your life but I love it. Go see the Virgen at Tepeyac, the pyramids at Teotihuacan, the walk through museum of the Templo Mayor, and one of the best museums in the world, the Anthropology/Archeaology Museum in Chualtepec park. That place is astounding.

 

[Johndicezx9]

Didn't the Raiders cut Ponder last year!

He actually did a pretty good job with the Vikings a few years ago, handing the ball to Adrian Petersen. Is Adrian Petersen on the 9ers? I haven't looked at their roster lately.

 

[Zerox]

Why does it matter who the 3rd string QB is for the Niners? He won't see the field unless things go very very wrong.

for real. He's a camp body because they can't only play 2 QBs in preseason

Kaep is a disaster and will never do anything but fail for the rest of his short career. Gabbert is not perfect. I think that makes the #3 position kind of important.
