Sorry, hot dogs are $1.50 each.  A bottle of water or soft drink is $2.  A beer is $5.

Beer prices vary but are comparably low.  It's amazing to me.  And they are making more money with the cheaper pricing.

 According to Falcons president and CEO Rich McKay, fans spent 16 percent more overall in the first year, even with price cuts of 50 percent.

If I were a Falcons fan, I'd need to drink heavily too.

Yeah, the Falcons seem unable to field a complete team with very rare exceptions.  The Atlanta soccer team is better and draws more fans.

Think of that, the soccer team outdraws the NFL team in the same stadium

That may also be true of the Chargers :57:

I wonder if State Farm will use him when he goes pro - they use NFL guys now.  One could get creative with it.

I'm not sold on Jake as being a first rounder, but maybe he is.

Mahomes and Rodgers are not on the commercial because they were first rounders

Husker Linebacker Coach Ruud's take: Current Georgia starting quarterback Jake Fromm must be awfully talented if he could beat out Fields.


All Fields has done through four games this season is complete 66 of 95 passes (69.5 percent) for 880 yards and 13 touchdowns, with zero interceptions. He's rushed 34 times for 190 yards (4.4 ypc) and six scores.

"He can run it, he can throw it, he doesn't turn the ball over," Ruud said. "He's been really solid."

The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Fields directs an offense that is as strong as any team in the country, Ruud said. The Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) rank 14th in total offense (526.5 ypg) and third in scoring (53.5).

"It's very similar to what we do, honestly, in that they use pre-snap disguises really well, they use tempo really well, and they're very balanced," Ruud said.

Fromm beat out Eason and Fields.  I think Fromm is a better fit for UGA's offense while Eason and Fields are better fits where they play now.  That doesn't mean one is better than the others.  Context.

A mobile QB on a decent team has a better chance of upsetting a top level team than a very good static QB on a decent team.  They do pose more problems for defenses.

He can at times simply dominate and have the game of his life and beat the better team.
