I dunno if I'd say he's finished, but he's certainly tending downward. He peaked at 5.0 ypa in rushing in 2020, went down to 4.7 in 2021 and last year was 4.4. I would prefer his not go to the Bears because I think he can still be dangerous, just perhaps not as dangerous as a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I guess Jaguars ownership is now playing the "give us this or else" game and it has "leaked" they are considering a move to Daytona. Just as the team is getting good. Coincidence? I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relocation to London is probably most realistic, even though it would be nearly universally hated. Daytona is so touristy that it would be almost trying to replicate the Vegas move. But Daytona is no Vegas. Edited June 14, 2023 by MichiganCardinal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyBlue Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 My understanding is the Jaguars are looking at upgrades to their stadium in Jacksonville and working on where they will play for when this occurs. The options are the Swamp in Gainesville and Daytona Speedway. As far as I know they are not looking to leave Jacksonville, unless, it's London.

It’s a huge stretch to say that STL couldn’t support the Rams. They supported them far better than LA supports either the Rams or the Chargers. St. Louis just got shafted by being on the wrong end of an ownership’s greed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 st louis is a dying city in a dying part of the country. they'd put another team in texas or florida before st louis. they'd put a team in london or mexico city before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is Kansas City but no one seems as gung ho about relocating them now that there are two (alleged) money makers in LA. I agree there is a snowball’s chance in hell they move a team back to STL anytime soon. My only point is that they deserve a team more than friggin’ Daytona.

RedRamage Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 13 hours ago, Tigeraholic1 said: You are allowed to bet on any sports games, but only your not at any NFL facility or in hotel that's being paid for by the team, even if you're not attending any meetings or NFL/team related events... also team planes and buses are probably off limits. Oh, and you can never bet on NFL games, even if you're "off campus." Well, except when create special exceptions to those rules, then you can bet on NFL games. But only if you're not playing in the game. Look, I'm not trying to argue that Jaymo shouldn't be punished for breaking the rules. Ignorance of the rules isn't an excuse. But my goodness... the NFL is totally trying to have it's cake and eat it too. They are slicing and dicing the rules to make it look like they are taking a hard line on gambling while also giving the players freedom to gamble away and it makes a confusing mess. Now, logically I can parse this all out and it sorta/kinda/maybe makes sense. They don't want to make it look like players are playing hard or slacking to try and win or throw a game to satisfy their bets. I totally get that. I also get that the Pro-Bowl isn't really a "game" so, who cares? Let 'em bet. Here's what I don't get: If it's okay to bet on non-NFL games, why isn't it okay to bet on NFL games that the player isn't playing in? The obvious answer is that you don't want a player colluding with with a player from another team to bet on each other's games. That makes sense... so why can an NFL player bet on a MLB game? Couldn't an NFL player collude with a MLB player? And why is it okay for a player to bet only when he's "off campus?" If a player is sitting in the hotel restaurant the night before a road game and wants to bet on a NBA game, are you really saying that it's bad optics for the NFL if the player does that in the hotel restaurant, but it's no problem if he leaves the hotel, walks across the street, places the bet, then goes back into the hotel to finish dinner?
