2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) I'm really interested to see who they pick. I still think Frey has the inside track, but maybe Hayden due to special teams. FWIW, they cut Hayden at the final cuts, brought em back, then cut him again...So I'm not real sure what they think of him. I really liked what I saw in Louis-Jean and hope he gets the call. Frey was just meh to me last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 From now on, when I go to bed at halftime, I'm just going to assume that the team that is behind by 14+ points is going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Peanut is one of my all time favorites. Suck that this is how his season will end. Hopefully he teaches Fuller the Peanut Punch.

Chisoxfn Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 What he could do to Moss in his prime was what no corner in the league could do. He truly is one of the best ever and I think its unfortunate at times that he was part of such a good defense as he was overshadowed a bit by Urlacher but he was a truly exceptional cornerback who had a long run in this league. The one thing is, corners have been able to have longer careers. Maybe he is able to make his way back. If he was, as far as I'm concerned, there is always a roster spot in Chicago for him. Easily the best Bears cornerback during my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 10:11 AM) Only on the US Taxpayer. The note at the bottom indicates that the NFL does not make money and thus would not actually be subject to taxes. However, even if they did, the NFL isn't in the business of making a profit. Any excess returns would be paid out to the individual league teams which are taxed or go to the players consistent with however league revenues are split per their agreement. Now if the NFL is holding a ton of excess capital on their own as a way of tax sheltering it for owners, okay, then maybe I understand, but otherwise, everything is getting taxed and fairly. NFL is just a conduit to generate everything and then dividends it out to the various individuals / other businesses who pay taxes. There are tons of various investment / businesses structured this way and that seems to be the fair thing. Would it make sense to tax all of the revenues and then do it all over again. Also, someone will say...well what about Goodell, well technically all of the league expenses are just shared expenses over the various franchises so in theory each franchise is taking that hit and paying its fair tax and goodell's income is ultimately an off-set to their tax liability. Goodell then has to pay his fair tax. Bottom line...this article is a load of junk and is a non-issue. However, I will caveat this as I haven't taken a lot of time to think through this and maybe there is some loophole or unintended tax code item that I'm missing out on, but I really don't see how this is even relevant. Seems like a stupid senator making a stance to get her elected that is uneducated and it also seems like a generally stupid forbes article.
