This would be the "Touchdown Celebrations That Might Be Against NFL Rules" exhibition on ESPN 8 The Ocho. Solo (no props) Solo (with ball as prop) Team (no props) Team (with ball as prop) 10 second max per performance. Scored on a 1-10 scale from a judges panel made up of the at least one sideline reporter from FOX, NBC, and CBS and a few retired HOF players who could offer entertaining insight. Highest and lowest scores are tossed, average out the rest. Yeah, I'd watch it. Maybe on fast forward, but I'd watch it.

@Mr. Scot I said this a while back. Mic up the players, let them have some fun...

100% in for this. Pro Bowl should be for the Best of each team... and a skills comp allows them to show off and earn true bragging rights, and flag football is just fun. Plus a minimal amount of injury potential compared to a full-pad game

Hey, we're second in the division!

Game ball to everybody!

That's fair. Current non-mainstream rock is not for everyone

Winners of last year's Eurovision song contest (previous winners include ABBA, Katrina and the Waves, Celine Dion, and while not a competitor - Riverdance) Maneskin was one of the most talked about performances at Lollapalooza this year, and they were a musical guest on SNL last year too. more recent news: https://people.com/style/vmas-2022-mtv-censors-maneskin-performance-after-wardrobe-malfunction/

Not us. But Apple Music is - they're the new halftime sponsor after Pepsi didn't renew their contract. Rumors are that this helps have the way to (finally) a Taylor Swift halftime production. What does this mean for the future of Apple+ being the NFL Sunday Ticket provider? Well - it kinda levels the playing field between Amazon (who has the Thursday Night package) and Apple in terms of having an NFL relationship. Doesn't guarantee that Apple will get that deal or not, however. Might be some folks wondering if the NFL is looking to partner with all the streamers "equally" in some manner. I doubt Little Nas X is ready for the Big Show yet. Would like to see Måneskin play, and not just because MTV had to continually censor their performance at this year's VMAs. If not Taylor Swift --- then who?

And marketing it to a larger region that covers more than just "charlotte" makes it a significantly large demographic area that the NFL would like to keep. We've covered the specifics and comparisons of market size in previous threads, such as this one:

HURRY HURRY! TICKETS ARE GOING FAST! (source: ticket sales email from the Panthers this afternoon)

it's a fine line in booing the coaching vs still supporting the players who are still giving it their all every play.

Not likely with the Miami ownership situation for suggesting exactly that. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/02/us/nfl-miami-dolphins-suspend/index.html

Let's say Tepper decides to pull the trigger on Rhule after the Saints game puts us at 0-3 with a 57-10 thrashing. If we look at what's happened with other teams -- doesn't one of the Asst Coaches step up to fill the void until the end of the season? There's no reason/way for Tepper to hire a new HC immediately, right? A combination of inability to recruit from any other team mid-season along with the Rooney Rule, doesn't that severely limit the number of available coaches who could come in immediately?

I want Luke to be "special consultant to the Defense". I get that he doesn't want to coach -- or maybe he just didn't want to coach under THIS regime -- but let's figure out how he can be used to teach the team how to watch tape and prepare each week.

how many times have YOU gotten your balls batted?

Which will be next year.

Good thing Igo doesn’t want this board shut down by people sharing how to circumvent the NFL copyright on their productiions. That has happened to other discussion boards.

Lucky. The twitter anti-Directv folks are out in droves

DirecTV does, right now, for anybody trying to watch via Sunday Ticket. thankfully the radio call still works

The only legal ways to watch the game when out of market are through the NFL or Directv. that said, as I write this, Directv is down.

He's the shortest giant ever....

vegas shouldn't be taking bets on pre-taped reality shows. Live shows, like Dancing with the Stars (new season premiering next week on Disney+ ), are a different story of questionable legitimacy
