If you haven’t heard, he apparently made some “controversial” comments about the Russian team after they got lambasted by Canada in the quarters:
Oh - and you can click to a link of the video from 30 years ago, when he jumped into the MSG stands with his teammates… and elected to take things one step further, beating the fan who started it all with his own shoe. Just classic.
No word on whether or not Milbury had foiled up before the game.
Very happy for the Saints, their fans, and the city/region on whole. Yes, I jumped on that bandwagon along with most of the country. As I’d explained previously, I’m happy that Bill Polian didn’t get “justification” for the disgraceful laydown he heaped upon his players (and coaching staff). I actually feel bad for the Colts players/coaches, as their myopic GM denied them an opportunity at history. Whether they’d won or lost the SB, Polian made the wrong decision (again specifically to pull healthy guys - I completely agree that injured guys didn’t need to play in that situation). (more…)
To what extent (if any) do new stadia represent an end-run by NFL owners around the players’ negotiated share of revenues? That is, by taking on lots of debt to build a new stadium, does an owner simultaneously a) generate big up-front costs, allowing him to cry poverty during collective bargaining, while b) generate a gusher of incremental revenue in categories that are excluded from the revenues in which players share?
My conjecture is that the answer is “A lot,” but I really have no idea. Does anyone else?
