The problem is fixing it will require once and for all ending people’s naive illusions of what the sport is. Which means employee status and negotiated agreements.

If that ruins the sport, at least kills old school fans’ interest, then it ruins the sport. Because what once was is not going to be anymore.

That's already happened, friend.

But if Hurts can make the jump then the possibility is there that Milroe *could* as well.

Yeah, something tells me the fact that Hurts is like that good kid who always gives 110% and pushes those around them to be better as well has something to do with that.

Milroe comes off a little more like class clown to me. But I don't know him personally.

Not saying I disagree wholeheartedly but other teams seem to be managing without the discipline and penalty issues

ESPN and big gambling companies have done their best to inject gambling into the sport. With all the guardrails gone, 18-22 year olds are tempted to throw games, sandbag, and point shave.

ESPN has been pushing paid players for years because they want to be able to talk about salaries like they do in the NFL.

ESPN has been pushing rules changes for years that have made the game much more chaotic and chancey because it means higher ratings.

Conferences go along with ESPN because $$$.

The only way to curb all this is to stop watching, stop paying, etc.

You and your dad were both born after 84? Guess I need to get off the internet and go jump in a grave.

Eli probably told Byrne he was through traveling and wanted to do home games only. IDK.

Eli actually wanted to do all the games last season.
