I would love to see Billy Joel do a halftime show. He hasn't been at the super bowl yet:(.

77% of NFL fans are Caucasian, compared to 15% being African-American/Black and 8% being Hispanic.

TBF, this is from 2015 so it's pretty likely the statics are different but likely similar.

The halftime show is for non football fans. They know if you like football you are watching anyway. They are trying to draw in the people who are only watching for the halftime show.

Adam Levine’s voice is too fried for him to sound even remotely okay on his older songs.

I think Browns signing him was wrong.

I just don't get why the browns. Chubb is better than him and Duke Johnson is a servicable change of pace back.. Unless they are gonna try to trade johnson and Hunt is on a budget AF contract

Probably because they get a pro bowl calibur running back for only 1 million per year. Supposedly he is going to be suspended 10 to 12 games but I think he deserves at least a year if not two.

He basically already served 6 games which is plenty for what he did. At least from last I checked in on the issue.

I don't believe a 6 game suspension is sufficient to avoid future incidents. Violence against anyone male or female should not be tolerated.

NFL and Kaep came to an agreement, I guess social justice really does have a price.

So the NFL kinda admitted to doing wrong and paid both Kaep and Reid. The frequent "random" drug tests Reid was subject to is an obvious case of the nfl doing wrong. Teams not looking to hire Kaep, isn't that more of a grievance against certain teams than all teams or the nfl themselves? Did Kaep really try to be hired everywhere or only certain places because he wanted to be a starter. Did his Agent call the Eagles for example? Probably not given it was a team with a solid starter and backup. Could he still go after individual teams with another grievance?

This doesn't feel like the right or best resolution for either side. Kaep still needs a job. If he tries to go anywhere and does not get hired, what happens? And if Reid gets called for another drug test, what then? I feel like things didn't end and injustice may continue on and off the field.

Supposedly. he was offered to play in the AAF but declined.

The way I kinda see it is if Kaep had such a strong case why does he ever settle unless there's more to the settlement than just $$$$.

In theory legalizing would help protect sex workers, but in practice I’m not sure that actually works.

Eagles letting Foles free and not trying to shop him is interesting. Jags does strike me as Foles best suitor now.

Flacco to Denver was a surprise. Flacco is a slight upgrade over Case only because Flacco won a superbowl. If Denver's intent was to get a superbowl winner, they should have gone after Foles. Flacco may have a better long ball than Case and more experience being on a team where defense carries you though. Still skillwise this does not really look like an upgrade to me. I think Denver will be at the bottom of the AFC west or just above it pending what more Gruden does to ruin the Raiders. Denver should have just planned to draft someone over getting Flacco

New England should draft a QB at some point. Probably in the middle rounds since Brady may have felt intimidated by Garoppolo in the early rounds

Early in the draft Miami, NYG and CIN should draft someone. I think Dalton is done in CIN

Washington should go after Tannehill, Dalton or Fitzpatrick

Bucs may want a vet backup in case Winston becomes unfixable

Titans may also want to grab a veteran since Mariota gets hurt a lot

Kyler Murray being 5'10 is a work. Sry.
