Agree. If your fans want to sell the tickets and use the windfall rather than attend a divisional round game, changing the rules to stop them is kind of messed up. They probably pay PSLs ans pay for bullshit sham pre-season games at full price. Watching a single game on TV could make this much more affordable, for some. Interested to see if any Titans fans complain.
Isn't scalping illegal there, technically? The team doesn't get any piece of that windfall, why shouldn't that limit it and get the side benefit of keeping the tickets in locals hands (and the prices down for locals). Seems like a great idea to me.
This just seems to be anti-fan, to me. Nothing stopping fans from keeping their seats and enjoying the games. I did not know it was illegal to put seats onto Stub Hub in TN....don't know much about TN.
I'll be against most league and team mandates if I feel they are anti-fan, that is my bias against the NFL. I expect others to have different opinions.
I don't see this as anti-fan. I see it as pro local fans at the expense of Cincy traveling fans.
We have a difference of opinion. If the local fans don't want to sell their tickets it makes no difference. They want the stadium to be two tone, blue. Big whoop. Maybe the guy who spent 5k for his family to enjoy Titans football can make back a big chunk of that by selling his seats for one game. The team decides to try and make that hard to do, when reselling would appear to be allowed, normally, just prior to their playoff game. To me, that is anti fan.
If the fan base is hard core you wouldn't have to worry about it. They are worried about it, so they made a rule change. In my opinion, that is some bullshit, anti fan, stuff.
I didn't realize that Buffalo went to the SB four years in a row and lost each time....with Colts coach Reich as the backup QB
One interesting thing is their 3rd string QB Gale Gilbert. He moved on to the Chargers and lost the 5th in a row. He also lost the Little League World Series championship. He was the QB for Cal in that Cal/Stanford Band-on-the-field-lateral game.

That dude is an albatross.
Always felt bad for those Bills teams. They were great for a long time.
Tell me what you think about "in the crease" calls in the Cup finals?
I'm really stoked for the Bengals. I grew up close to Cincinnati so they have been my team forever.
I'm sorry...
I adopted the Colts once we moved to IN but yeah....it's been rough. At least I got a SB victory with the Colts.
I watched Joe Montana and the 49ers beat the Bengals twice in the SB
Bengals are going to finally get their SB though. Assuming Burrow stays healthy.
They need to change up those godfersaken uniforms... That is why you have been punished. The fashion gods frown upon the burnt orange stripes of a Bengal tiger...
Maybe? It would lean towards the Browns woah's too. Denver? I dunno there my man.

If you look at hockey reference, there is a goal, Hull scored it, and they won. I really spend no time upset about it or arguing if someone brings it up. Dallas won the cup. Full stop. The Sabres were the better team in that Game 6, but it was clear they were running out of gas before that goal was scored. Even if the Sabres won, it would have been against odds to win in Game 7 in Dallas.
That rule that year was such a pain in the ass though. It was a typical NHL short-sighted 1-year deal and games were getting held up and goals were disallowed if there was an edge of a toenail in the crease. That probably should have been disallowed. After the fact, the NHL claimed there was a 'memo', but that seems sketchy. Even by the logic in the memo, the goal is very debatable. The fact that it was never even reviewed stunk too.
The NHL really wanted Dallas to win that cup as a notch in marketing the game in non-traditional markets. 1999 was right in the thick of those efforts.
There is controversy that Bettman was seen talking to a Linesman DURING a game in Dallas. Why would a commissioner need to speak to an on-ice official?
This was the deadpuck era. A time where power plays were not handed out liberally. In Game 1 in Dallas I witnessed three amazing things for that era, even amazing today.
a) Buffalo was whistled for 7 consecutive power plays against. You might go years before seeing that b) Dallas received double digit power plays that game (10 total) c) Dallas received 2 power plays in overtime to the Sabres 0
I couldn't almost stomach the game since it had the appearance of fix.
After the victory by Buffalo in OT, Bob Swados, the original team counsel, wrote in his book that he met NHL executives in the elevator right after the game. He said the atmosphere of the elevator resembled that of a funeral. He described the league personnel as sullen and "stone-faced." He made a comment that the Sabres triumphed over adversity to which Bettman responded "Adversity justified."
By Game 6, the same refs in Game 1 had called just 2 power plays for each team, despite playing nearly 2 games with that game ending in triple OT. This ultimately favored the Stars who had mastered the smothering defensive play of that era

Bruh....I still have a retro Bengals hat and coin bank.
They had talked about having a black and white striped helmet but I guess that didn't happen
They switched to stripes in 1981

Vrabel outsmarted himself. Going for 2 after the penalty and going for it on 4th down instead of kicking the FG with 7 minutes left, Hate the deep handoff in that situation, too. Sneak it. Could have had the lead and been trying to run out the clock instead of Tannehill throwing late in the game.
Good for Cincy. Hope they win the whole thing at this point. They're fun to watch.
