Another big Amendola fan. Loved his grit, the way he played.
If the Chicago Bears end up playing in a dome that would flat out suck. So sick of domes (regardless of what Pat McAfee thinks). Football, like baseball, is an outdoor sport. Weather is part of the factor, and both players and fans have embraced it for many years, and it's definitely been a part of football lore. If one wants to watch and play a game indoors, that's what basketball is for.
I'll give the owners of the team some credit though in that (so far) they aren't holding the City hostage the way the Spanos family did with San Diego. There are other teams and examples, but that one is the worst that comes to mind.
I take what you are saying about the Spanos' at face value..what they did to our football is unfortunate and unforgivable.Remembering their attitude about Brees, Carney and Bernie Sproles not being good enough to play in San Diego..New Orleans didn't think so..we saw how that worked out..They throttled Jr..but the Patriots saw a place for him..twice!!Seau was San Diego!!
Now as hard as it is to say something neutral or nice about any Spanos..here goes..remember San Diego had the Clippers..and is still home to the Padres..and the combined decades of pro sports have been lackluster at a minimum,so as NFL franchise values went through the roof..the Spanos family played it smart,probably tripling the value of the Chargers wo much fan support. Not everyone can remember when we had ticket buyouts because playoff games were not sold out and as a result would be blacked out on TV..sad but true..couldn't sell out a home playoff game!!
The Chargers are putting a quality team on the field and in a long tradition have a great quarterback!! The only thing that the Chargers get right..and now there is support!!
Please leave Ryan Leaf off my data sheet..
I wonder how many football fans know that there is only one team from New York!!!?
And domes? If Chicago gets a dome what else will go in there? A wintertime Pearl Jam or Rolling Stones concert? Does Bad Bunny need a dome venue?
Maybe winter Supercross!!
And what are the cold stats? Does the home team win when it's 20 degrees? GB,Bears? Is it automatically a win? I personally like it when there is so much snow and you can't easily see the lines on the field!!
