Sounds like the NFL bought that first one

Ya lost me - why? Because it was AFL?

12th man flag?  Pro football?

Tons of football teams, both pro and college, have used the "12th man" phrase, going back decades upon decades.  That one school would take it upon themselves to consider it a trademark, is pretty silly, but that's the world we live in.

one school and one NFL franchise

My apologies if there are any Bengals fans here.  That was my fault.  I knew what would happen if I watched that game, and sure enough, I jinxed it for another one of our guys.  I guess I should be happy it was only Burrow and the other 3 players made it out unscathed.

Not a Bengals fan, but Burrow was my QB in one fantasy league. So...

...screw you.

I know about that,  hawks and ags, I was referring to a 12 men on the field penalty costing an NFL team a W.

Can we get someone to ask Popovich about this C . Thompson sideline interview scandal.

I see some other reporters embarrassing themselves by suggesting this sets back women reporters years.

Goff and Hutchinson have been actively bad for the first time this year.  And somehow Fields is having the give of his professional life.

First time I have truly felt the Lions took a BAD loss since the Matt Flynn game.

What the hell happened? I left for my gate and they were down by 12 with 3:30 left, and then they won by 5?

Looks like Goff and Hutchinson heard me

Watching game in the rain, on natural turf, I wonder how much long we are going to see it.  Eventually, every stadium is going to need to be replaced, and it seems like even in good weather locations, teams are opting for retractable roofs.

Granted, if you want public funding, which they all beg for, you can't just be open eight times a year. I assume the new bears stadium will either be a dome or retractable roof

The Chiefs are what happens once you have to pay your QB, even though he's worth it.  Kelce fumbles close to a sealing TD, and then his WRs with drop after drop after drop
