I blame Wynton, what was the question?

There are possessions but control of the puck almost always changes sides several times per minute. At the very least the NFL should adopt something like the XFL scramble for the ball to decide possession.

Not as many fans as the other sports (in the US at least) but the fans are beyond a passionate bunch...I f'in love it!

Hockey isn't a sport.So I went to google and asked "when does a cult become a religion" some of the answers were :-
Hockey is clearly a religion1) As soon as you have to part with cash to join, it's a cult. As soon as there are more than 10000 of you, it's a religion.
2) Perhaps a cult becomes a religion when it stops killing it's members and starts killing non-members.
3) A cult becomes a religion when its members become so numerous that they require recognition by a governing authority.
4) There is no distinction between Cult, Sect or Religion, It all depends which side of the fence you are standing on.

From my experience, (just a few brief check-ins) most of the talk on the 2 Boston sports radio stations today has centered around Brady, talking about yesterday and speculating about his future plans.
Oh he will still have a job, just maybe not with the Niners. Remember Joe Flacco? He got a fat contract and stuck around for a while, heck he might still being playing but I'm too lazy to look it up.
Reminded me of the Chargers after Shotenheimer, worst special teams for years.
I was out and about all day and finally landed at a sports bar at the start of the 4th quarter of Bills/Chiefs. Aside from watching the Warriors win NBA championships at a bar, this has to have been the best shared sports experience I've ever had. Being in the Bay Area the place was evenly split, 1/3 NFL fans, 1/3 Bills and 1/3 Chiefs. I'm still buzzing this morning!

Flacco was worth what the Ravens paid for him, except they didn’t have enough talent resources to support him. Flacco is now a backup for the Jets. He started after Zac Wilson was injured and did well but the Jet’s defense helped the Dolphins to win the game. Then the Jets brought Zac back and he didn’t do too well.
Cult, religion, what is the difference?
Are we supposed to feel bad for defense that can't make a stop? I'm all for playing a 15 minute overtime but gee whiz, I'd like to see some defense every now and then. Touchdowns are supposed to be harder to score but apparently not in the 4th quarter.
still a bit stunned by the Packers loss. watching some of the all-22 footage makes it even worse. on the 3rd-and-11 on the Packers' last possession, he has St. Brown open by 2 steps for a touchdown, and Lazard down the middle for like 25 yards. instead, he goes to Adams along the sideline, who is double covered (as he had been since the first possession), obviously incomplete. this one is particularly egregious because of the situation, but really it had been going on all game. Rodgers scrambling around looking for Adams, then either dumping it off to Jones or throwing it away - while Lazard and Deguara were getting open on nearly every play!
its bizarre because Rodgers' ability to find the open man has always been a strength, particularly during those years when the GB offense was unstoppable. if you double covered someone he would make you pay. I think back to that big story about Rodgers and McCarthy (the one Rodgers handwaved away as "fake news", despite containing a bunch of very detailed and specific stories about him) - once you lose his trust you can't really get it back. I think defenses would figure that out (especially during the playoffs) and it really bit them here. Whatever. I'm ready to be done with him.

NFL Football is also a cult. Many miss church to watch it.

I miss church for a variety of reasons.

Every time I have to go to a church I put my finger in through the doorway first to make sure it doesn't ignite.

When I was a teenager, a woman at church was talking about how she won some kind of prize for catching the biggest fish. The pastor asked her when she caught it. She laughed and said Sunday Morning. The Pastor said, "May God have mercy on your sin sick soul." Tongue in cheek of course.

You'd have to have been to miss it.
