I remember when the Royals won the WS in 85. At that time there was some sort of competition on TV that pitted them and the Superbowl champs that year in a head-to-head competion. Tug of war, track and field, strength, etc.

Royals won.

Details might be a bit fuzzy.

That is the motto that Belichek has designation for the organization.

Like the Chiefs, you mean? The whole tampering thing... Just terrible.

:p

As if Belichick gives a damn about anyone's opinion, or "mottos"... ROFL

Probably a variant of the old "Battle of the Stars" things they used to do. I remember athletes would sometimes be included, so yeah, definitely possible.

I used to enjoy those shows. Some would have athletes and some would have TV stars. I remember one of the athlete shows, though, and they had a bunch of skills-based contests in the competition - things like tennis and bowling. The winner was some male volleyball player who apparently played a lot of different sports, so he was good enough at the skills-based stuff to pull away from the pack.

That's definitely it. The interesting part was the Royals just yanked them into the water in tug-of-war. IIRC it was pretty even up to that point.

Though this has nothing really to do with which sport is harder. I was just surprised by it.

sure but thats only because we somehow made money a thing and people evaluate their lives with it and have to use it for health etc.

I know,thats way too far off topic lol :)

Play 82 games per year and you can start asking for NBA pay.

I think you could argue that NFL players should have a considerably higher % of the leagues revenue distributed to them than NBA and MLB, due to the following: The low volume of games VS higher probability of injury, there are less players available world wide that can play quality football as apposed to the fore mentioned sports, avg career length is less in NFL and risk of injury is high, and certainly because there are so many players on a roster.

Cough it up Goodell !!!

You're a drooling Mongo that shouldn't be allowed to start threads

NFL players are more athletic than NBA players on average. They're stronger, faster and even jump higher which shocks a lot of people.

Being an owner is the greatest job in the world.

Taxpayers pay for your facility
You can bully the city to build you a completely new facility with the primary intent of making yourself (not the city) more money
And you're allowed to cap your highest paid employees' wages

And every time you provide the team these benefits, the money goes basically directly to the owner.

And to top it all off, people are outraged about the PLAYERS making too much money while the owner rakes in way more dough than he actually deserves.

In what way doesn't it take the skill?

I don't know if they should make more money, but I thought it was amazing a few years ago when the owners locked them out to get a bigger piece of the pie and nobody batted an eye. NFL owners can pretty much do whatever they want. People are crazy about football.
