LA could be giving up it's desire for a NFL team. I still don't think that certain cities are out of the woods just yet, like STL and OAK; If not LA, there are other growing cities with NFL voids like Portland. Not to say that cities like STL and OAK are definitely gonna move, but it will take a Shad Khan-like effort to finding ways to make financially struggling teams profitable.

Some may say the LA news 'is good news for Jax" IMO it's a non-story for Jacksonville. Jax wasn't even tagged to this PFT article below. Although it still won't stop the zombie national media listening-to haters.

The former home of the Detroit Lions, the Pontiac Silverdome. It's in total ruin, sadly like many buildings within the Detroit metro. The Superdome post Katrina didn't look this bad. They will have an auction selling off the Silverdome's 'assets'.

The "assets" would be that broadcast equipment and the supporting cable. The field can be pulled up and go to a high school. The seats can be used at any number of local high schools for their stadiums. The HVAC units have value (if the copper hasn't been stolen yet). What is funny is the bars are pristine with the glassware still in place awaiting the next event. The concrete has value as rubble.  They will get something out of it.

In other news, while already facing a year long suspension for another failed drug test, Justin Bla... I mean Josh Gordon LOL got pulled over for speeding with weed in the car. The passenger told police it was his and not Josh's, but anybody with common sense know they were both going to smoke it. Between and Blackmon I don't know whose the dumbest. The drunk or the weed head. Both are monster wide receivers with a huge future ahead of them and they throw it all away. I just don't get it. SMH

A solid piece on John Madden.  Totally worth the read.  It's too long to post the entire thing, so you'll want to click on the link.

Outstanding read NRW.  Madden is a treasure.  Wouldn't you like to spend a Sunday in that TV room with him?

No doubt.  He is one of the few personalities that I've always admired from afar.  He's always been presented as a down to earth, guys' guy, and as mush BS is posted over the internet, I've never really read anything about him otherwise.

Some of the blurbs that I read in the ESPN book, "Those Guys Have All the Fun", made me like the guy even more.

I read it a few years ago, but during some of the original shuffling of MNF, when it was him and Michaels, he basically told the network that he'd retire before taking on another partner and is the reason that Michaels still has the job to this day. 

Stand up guy.

The Falcons will be on Hard Knocks. So much for the erroneous 'Jags on Hard Knocks' rumor that I brought up a while back. Damn, I'm like Sam Kouvaris now.   That will be the last time that I bring up PFTer rumors.

The Oneida Indian Nation & the National Congress of American Indians is really coming down hard on the Washington Redskins.

The anti-Redskins commercial that aired during the NBA Finals, and the anti-Redskin website.

Justin Blackmon's brother up in Cleveland is at it again. Gordon and Blackmon will most likely continue to out-stupid each other...

I just had to share.  I literally laughed out loud when I saw the picture and read the headline. 

At least someone at PFT has a sense of humor. 

Cowboys go ahead and print out playoff tickets

Posted by Darin Gantt on August 1, 2014, 12:05 PM EDT

Even though the Cowboys are perpetually 8-8, and even though they haven't won a playoff game since 2009, they're aiming high.

According to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com, the Cowboys sent out playoff tickets, including for the NFC Championship Game, in packages sent to season-ticket holders.

The Cowboys haven't made the NFC title game since 1995, but that's no deterrent to the always-aiming-high marketing strategy of Jerry Jones' team.

Either that, or they just hate the Earth, and decided to unnecessarily kill a bunch of trees for tickets that will never be used.
