Tucson, Ch. 4: Primary

blaxabbath - September 3, 2019September 4, 2019

We've talked quite a bit here about the history of Tucson, Arizona and how foolish they would be ever to sit down with the piranhas that are NFL negotiators regarding the foolish half-cocked Alazona proposal that was briefly floated to fill dormant offseason news cycles that, before signing their extension

I was in Tucson a few weeks back for work and met up on 4th Avenue with a friend of mine. 4th Ave is Tucson's little off-campus bar strip. It's got head shops, some eateries, and plenty of bars. It's a thing people in Tucson do, "Heading down to 4th."

Jesus Tapdancing Christ, did I feel old today. My back flared up, and I lost half the feeling below the waist. THE GOOD FEELING! Going to work absolutely sucked giant ass. However, coming home to some Tramadol made things all better. Also, it made the dogs look like Martians. NFL Nuggets: According

It's been a little while since we've had an update on the construction of the new gargantuan undertaking that will eventually become the stadium for the L.A. Rams. It will also allow the Chargers to sleep in the basement provided it uses only the back door to enter and exit

Can I just say something here? It may be a minority view around this place but surely not one that I feel won't be respected: I am much more entertained by the nonsense around the NFL than I am watching the actual games. Gimmie AB's holdout drama over analysis of when statistics

So last week we talked a bit about the detail-free Alazona proposal being pitched by leading cites of industry, Birmingham, AL and Tucson, AZ to split hosting duties for the Location-Off Raiders domestic home games in 2019.

NFL News: In the wake of losing the Defensive Coordinator to becoming head coach in Miami, the Patriots have decided to turn their defense into Schiano men! It helps that Greg Schiano coached Bill Belichick's son at Rutgers, along with (probably more importantly) current Patriots defensive backs Devin McCourty, Jason McCourty
