OT: Football Thread

[NickyFotiu]

Agreed.

Zach Wilson sucks but no QB could have excelled against the Dolphins the way that line was playing. Every play was a sea of white jerseys in the backfield seemingly.

LOL imagine how Giants QBs feel. The Jets have only allowed 61 sacks. The Giants have allowed 76 sacks.

summing up my feelings on this disgrace of a franchise that I hope gets relocated to London or Frankfurt or folds or whatever

Am I supposed to feel bad for a pizza restaurant that apparently had $10,000 on hand to spend on two hours of Tommy f***ing Devito? Lmao

I don't blame Tommy for wanting to get paid but maybe he should have waited. People think these bottom roster guys are broke. Tommy makes somewhere around $850,000 this year and $915,000 next year. May have been better to wait for the $10,000 pizza days during the offseason?

If @Leonardo87 were the QB he'd have paid the pizzeria 10k after winning the GB game.

Most of my extended family is Giants fans; they never refer to the Giants' OL without a string of expletives, and they're of Italian ancestry so they are obviously really good at being dramatic lol.

Rodgers is on Pat Macaffee show right now. Rodgers has it made on this show. They listen to him like he is a god. The platform gives him a lot more power than most athletes have in general.

LOL My dad is no longer with us but he used to answer my calls "I don't want to talk about the Giants offensive line".

I'm so lost. what happened? lol.

Remember I'm a Dolphins fan do don't really follow the NY teams.

Don't tell anyone!

Tommy Devito was supposed to make an appearance at a pizzeria for 10k and his agent upped the asking price to 20k after he won the GB game. The pizzeria declined.

That's pretty F'd up. lol.

If he lost they should have only accepted 5k. lol.

Low budget agent doing low budget things.

Uh, yeah?

The money they would have made selling food, drinks, and autographs, etc would have exceeded the $10,000 investment. They're losing business by him cancelling.

They probably would have to sell at least $30,000-$40,000 in food and drinks to cover his $20,000 fee, their labor, and their food costs. I think they may be better off saying no. Plus now they got their names in the papers for free.

 

[Bob Richards]

Folks it appears there has been an armistice

Tommy is probably thinking what did my agent get me in to. Smart on his part to show up. Looking at the size of that restaurant I think they probably would have lost money even at the original $10,000. Now everyone wins.

depends. If they're a good enough shop, then maybe they get repeat business, and thats part of what they factor in.

That is true. Repeat business is not something I was originally thinking about but whether that day or via repeat business they would still have to make enough sales to cover Tommy's fee, labor and food costs. Food costs are high nowadays

they are. Good PR is also very valuable. And getting to separate yourself from the other estimated 9,000 pizza shops in NJ? valuable.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Good for him for seeing the big picture. Now I can root for him again.

Side note, the pizza at Coniglios looks pretty decent. Is anyone local enough to get some intel & let us know if it's worth a drive?

 

[NickyFotiu]

I thought it was unusual for Tommy to be a 25 year old rookie. The NY post has an article that Tommy and his family actually wanted him to play another year in college as a 7th year "senior". Tommy and his family were upset when the NCAA said no. It worked out well for Tommy that they said no.

 

[OriginalLimbo]

I never liked Koho sticks. I felt like they were thicker and heavier. I liked Montreal for their lightweight flex and curves on the ice. Titan was good as well. I think I used a Easton shaft with a Titan blade for roller hockey. Its been so long that I can't remember lol

I was a Titan guy...they were great for roller hockey. Koho's had those laminated blades that would come apart on the asphalt.

I think I bought this over 30 years ago, lol.
