Yep, isn't the owner British?

Their owner is Pakistani.

They'll stay there the week and have the jet lag advantage in the second game.

That probably

Their owner is Pakistani.

Lots of Pakistanis are British but you're right, Khan is Pakistani-American not British

Maybe I'm in the minority here - but that's absolutely shitty to do to an NFL team.

They asked for it. They aren’t a draw where they are. If the NFL ever expands fully internationally Jaguars ownership would be the first to sign up.

Can't argue with this logic, Jacksonville is pretty ass.

Are they still covering their entire upper deck?

I hate being a fake money e-broke bitch.

It's one thing to be a fake money gambling addict, but it's a little embarrassing to be so bad at it...

Not a fake money addict.

I just have fun with it. And I need a new laptop because the keys be super sensitive.

Was that the verdict? Tastes like chicken? I've never had them, but they seemed so small that they would be too much work lol.

I've had them a handful of times and, yes, to me they taste like chicken.

I don't see the need for me to have them personally, but at least I know if dared, I could do it lol.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Deny Crum died. Fuck.


#RIP

Been a while but they look different I think. Longer and thinner for obvious reasons. I'm confident if someone just cut up the meat and put it in front of you prepared the same way you wouldn't know the difference. Give it a try if ever offered.

Jordan Love took the high road in answering questions from the media.

 

[DJ Fieri]

he lost his job over a fake allegation

how would you feel if your reputation was destroyed- your neighbors thought you were a rapist, and you lost your job over a lie.

you are fucking delusional.

Bro, glad you are okay!!!!!!

What happened with the Cavs vs the Knicks? We have not seen you in a while.........you like fell off the sports message board map and a lot of us were waiting on your "expert analysis."

Maybe it takes time for him to recover from a good cry...?

Kobe had already been in the NBA for a few years and made millions. It also cost him millions and his reputation never fully recovered. Virtually every company he did commercials for, dropped him. To this day there are people who refer to him as a rapist. How many commercials did you see Kobe in after the allegations?

This kid didn't even get to attend 1 day of training camp or get his 1st NFL check.

And we're talking about a Hall of Fame NBA player, not a punter who hasn't had 1 punt in the NFL. We don't know if anyone will give him a shot because even though he's been exonerated, teams are unlikely to want the distractions...especially for a punter.

Even if he does get signed, as @WiggyRuss pointed out, he's already lost money and at least 1 season in the NFL, that he's never getting back.

I think you guys are misunderstand my point.

It is a terrible thing that has undoubtedly set him back and cost unfairly negative consequences.

He took a big L for sure.

But he will have a chance to bounce back.

His life is not “ruined”. Just like Kobe’s life was not ruined.

Call it semantics if you want. Really extreme to say that a young man’s entire life is ruined over something like this.

Families whose kids get murdered in mass shootings, that is life ruiner.

This shouldn’t be.

But it may depend a lot on how he chooses to respond moving forward.

Hasn't happened to me, but I know someone personally that it happened to.

It didn't necessarily "ruin" his life either. But he would tell you that it definitely ruined that portion of his life.

For you to essentially tell others that it's not a big deal "he'll be fine" "didn't ruin his life", etc. comes off as pretty callous. Unless it has happened to you, you don't know.

And yes...it's semantics.

Additionally, unless and until he is actually picked up by a team (which, to my knowledge, hasn't happened) we don't know if it has ruined his chances in the NFL or not.
