Today's the day that NFL teams have to put in their relocation plans. -- (link) - spamlet Jan 4, 06:46 8

- I haven't followed this all that closely so help me here - ty97 Jan 4, 06:47 5
  - Not really. There are two competing plans for stadiums. One for the Chargers/Raiders and one for the Rams. - spamlet Jan 4, 07:00 1
    - It'll take Kroenke muscle to move the team, St Louis is fighting the hardest. San Diego basically gave up, Oakland is Oakland. -- nm - budice Jan 4, 07:02
  - They are likely to only accept 2 at most. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 06:48 2
    - We have always been committed to staying in this shithole town. -- nm - Third team Jan 4, 06:58

  - please note: you have to get your bags after your flight, then Disney will take them, we thought they got them and almost made a huge boner -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 07:18 1
    - That's not actually how it works, at least in America. You drop off your bags before your first departure then they're in your room at the hotel... - Sith Lord Sexypants Jan 4, 07:22
  - Thank you, and major lol at your last line. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 07:10

- I am rooting for the Packers -- nm - Bacon Jan 4, 07:15
- Cousins has played really well, I picked them on B2 -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 07:14
- The Redskins are the only home team currently favored by Vegas. - ML Jan 4, 06:40 3
  - And that's not actually a favorite given home field is 3pts...I at least see hope there given Green Bay looks mortal. Against Seattle, zero chance. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 06:41 2
    - I agree. GB is very beatable right now. The Vikings lost on paper by winning. - ML Jan 4, 06:43 1
      - I would agree, big mental win for the Vikes. Packers OL isn't right, Defense is vulnerable. -- nm - budice Jan 4, 07:10

NFL finished with 7 1000-yard rushers. 13 in 2014, 13 in 2013, 16 in 2012, 15 in 2011. - Strongbad Jan 4, 06:33 8

i was considering buying Dave tickets for the *2017* World Junior Hockey Championship that will be in Toronto. However. -- (edited) - Andie Jan 4, 06:32 10

  - i *think* it must be. it's not especially clear. -- nm - Andie Jan 4, 06:36 1
    - Yeah that would have to be for every TO game. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 06:38

      - Yes, but they got rid of Kessel in the offseason. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 06:59
  - $20 ML tickets? dare to dream. -- nm - Andie Jan 4, 06:34 2
    - If there was a second left in the 3rd period with the Leafs losing 10-0, you couldn't buy a ticket for $20. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 06:36 1
      - Here ya go Dave, 1 second of Hockey. -- nm - budice Jan 4, 06:42
(You forgot Joy.) -- nm - Davi Jan 4, 06:31 1
- Right. Joy. C. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 4, 07:04
