The NDSU Bison board and all the money backers would not allow USFL football in fargo. The Bison football team plays in the low level Missouri valley football conferance and is having attendance problems at the fargodome.

Fans here are bored with playing low level schools and the school is afraid to lose more fans to a pro type football program even though its played months apart but you need to figure in season tickets and such. Go to any store and you see bison gear being sold and the bison would then be up against usfl gear.

I myself do not ever watch the bison play on tv, the fargodome, or the radio, and am not interested in any thing bison football untill they switch to a higher level conferance with more branded name schools to get me to watch.

Of course this would cost the school big money to switch conferances and the university claims they cant afford it as even academic attendance has decreased. Hey its fargo what do you expect a Taylor Swift concert every year at the fargodome, hey @gimruisshe actually was here in 2015.

Guess I didn't even realize they were having attendance issues there.  They've been so dominant over the past decade that the fan base has become spoiled with anything less than greatness.

 

I've never been to a game there myself.  It seems like a passionate, dedicated fanbase.  I have several co-workers who went there in college and they are still Bison fans.

J. Brick -  the Lions defense is okay. They addressed the defensive backfield before the season started but 1 guy got hurt and the other only played 2 games. OC Johnson said today he's coming back to Detroit. A big no to Seattle and Washington, he wants to win a "big game". (my words)  I am feeling a little better now.

The NFL LOVES this romance. And they'll love a Chiefs SB victory even more! Emphasis mine.

"Swift’s relationship with Kelce and her appearances at Chiefs games has generated $331.5 million in equivalent brand value for the Chiefs and the NFL, according to an analysis the group shared with Quartz."

Good news for the Lions and I hope Goff and management can get his situation sorted out as well. 

[Bird]

Completely unbiased and I mean it.

 

Baltimore is the best team that lost, Lamar is a clone of Dak Prescott.

 

AND no doubt that KC and Swifty win the SB.......no doubt.

Was John Elway similar to Dak Prescott? Take a look at Elway’s playoff record until he finally won his 2 Super Bowls.

Was Jim Kelly comparable to Dak?

Your comment doesn’t really hold water.

Yes, big difference.

Elway and Kelly were actually getting to Super Bowls.

Dak and Lamar are losing at home to underdogs and haven't sniffed a SB.

[NavyToad]

@Bird I think that as many times as Elway went to the playoffs/Super Bowl and lost before he finally won would be considered as Dak-like. He got his redemption, but it took his entire career to get there. Lamar has been a starter for 5 years. It took Elway 14 years to win a Super Bowl. At this point in his career I consider Lamar a success so far. Was Marino a bum?

[J Francho]

I would compare Elway to Allen before any other QB without looking at any playoff records. 

[TnRiver46]

^pretty good comparison, both probably got voted most likely to helicopter into the end zone trying to hurdle a defender in their high school year books 

 

id compare Lamar to Mike Vick. The moves Lamar can make are jaw dropping but when it counted he just tried to stay in the pocket

Doesn't mean they didn't have a good season.  Take a look at their body of work as a whole this season.  They both had fantastic seasons, even if it ended with a thud.  And minus the other team in the Super Bowl with a guy named Mahomes, I'd be willing to bet that just about any other team in the league would take either one of them as their QB next season.

 

They're realistically gonna both finish in the top 3 as MVP candidates, along with Brock Purdy.

[throttleplate]

Lamar has low td pass totals throughout his career, he needs to work on the passing game and should have stuck with the run game against the chiefs.

Which is more of a coaching decision more than it is on him on his low td totals  because the coaching knows he is not a good passing qb.

Wow!  Seems like the Super Bowl itself has taken a backseat to Taylor and Kelce. 

Love is in the air.

I miss June Carter Cash.

She and her tribe have generated an additional $331,000,000 for NFL sales in the last few months.  Go Chiefs.

[RipzLipz]

Seems Mahomes Sr. was either celebrating an early Kelce/Swift wedding or Super Bowl victory.

@RipzLipz

 

It is the "3rd or More" designation that is bothering me.  Sounds like Mahomes Sr. has a problem with getting behind the wheel after a few drinks on a regular basis.  

[12poundbass]

The Mahomes family is a train wreck. At the rate they’re going, they’re going to make Honey BooBoo’s family look like the Cleavers. 😂

[RipzLipz]

@senile1 Who knows. Former athletes seem to often have the attitude that they’re above the law or rules don’t apply to them. Big babies due to instant gratification nation & all the hype they’re seemingly surrounded with starting in their teens.
