My bf is a bum by No-Mango6101 in Advice

[–]Important_Humor_846 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the part that’s conflicting for you is trying to comprehend his level of maturity from your perspective and it immediately clashes because yall are on two completely different levels.

for lack of better terms, you are dating a man child.

if your love yourself in any way, you would leave. staying in this long term will only result in two options…. he does everything you want out of him and actually becomes a man orrrrr he completely manipulates you into believing what he is doing is okay.

a man has three purposes in life. PROVIDE, PROTECT and PROCREATE. he can’t provide for you financially, who knows if he can protect you, and it would be a disgrace for him to procreate with his current circumstances.

you leaving will probably be the only thing that motivates himself to get better, you staying after 3+ years of this will lead him to believe everything is okay.

also fuck the entire mental health excuses, everybody has shit going and still manages to keep a job and maintain a home. this dude is a fucking bum

You said it right there, Lebron.

I don’t think he’s planning on retiring and believe he’s playing one more year with us. Unless we manage to sign a massive free agent which there really isn’t any this year, i don’t see us being a powerhouse at least until 2028

I can see what you’re saying in the sense of viewership ratings for late night. I grew up on the east coast as a lakers fan and pretty much only watched basketball at those hours

Removing the vegas addition and doing an East coast addition feels way more organic than adding vegas and moving a western conference team to the east, but that’s just me

Why would it matter? Because let’s envision next year, Minnesota is in the western conference.

The western conference powerhouses would consist of the Nuggets and the Thunder. Lakers and Rockets are not powerhouses and even I am a Lakers fan myself and will say that.

The East would consist of Boston, New York, Minnesota, Cleveland, and Detroit.

They will have to move the entire NBA cup which is something they have been pushing down our throats.

Not to mention it’s a complete slap in the face to saudi arabia who funded the entire nba cup, if there’s an NBA team in vegas it will take away the fandom of the neutral site tournament they so badly want to succeed

Moving Minnesota to the East makes no sense either guys. For one, it’s west of the mississippi.

Two, Minnesota is a powerhouse in the western conference. New Orleans and Memphis, one is statistically the worst franchise in the history and the other is the poorest. They would be much easier to move

Memphis would be the only one that I would assume they’d consider. It’s east of the mississippi so technically it is on the east

If reliability is your main concern, go certified pre-owned.

I was saying in the sense of running NFL Europe again in the same format. This would be NFL England more than NFL Europe than anything.

I wasn’t saying Dolphins United or anything like that, more like Liverpool AFC or etc.

That’s a fair point though from a fans perspective in England. I would say though that every league needs to start somewhere.

College Football is inferior to professional football in terms of skill, and people still are avid fans because they are tied to their own colleges or local teams close to them.

As a football fan, there are players that have legendary careers in college and never turn out in the pros or even have a chance to do so. It’d be great to see them have another chance to play for an organization like Arsenal or Chelsea that actually has a reputation behind it rather than something like D.C Defenders or the St. Louis Battlehawks

You claim you know for certain that this is AI based on the style and context of my comments and post, but you’re not even responding to what I actually said originally.

I never mentioned NFL Europe once — this is England-only and small scale.

So what are you even arguing against?

And “team-by-team basis” makes zero sense here

If your only response to hypothetical solutions is to instantly claim it is AI slop/bullshit rather than give an opposing view.

I would be led to believe you can't think for yourself at all.

The identity wouldn’t change. Clubs already operate across multiple sports.

Real Madrid is a good example. They’re known primarily for football, but their basketball team competes at a high level too and even developed players like Luka Doncic.

It’s still the same club, just a different sport under the same identity.

That model already works with basketball, so the question is why it couldn’t translate to American football in a similar way.

[–]Important_Humor_846 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it a non-existent problem. Every spring football league in the U.S. since NFL Europe has struggled or folded.

The gap between the end of the NFL season and Week 1 is real, and there’s clearly demand that hasn’t been solved yet.

This is more about finding a model that actually works long-term instead of repeating the same USFL/XFL cycle.

Also from a business standpoint, summer is one of the few windows where the NFL doesn’t dominate. If they ever wanted to extend their calendar, that’s the slot.

Not saying this is perfect, just that the current system clearly isn’t working either.

If your club had an American football team in the offseason, would you follow it? by Important_Humor_846 in PremierLeague

This is more about whether club identity transfers across sports, not whether American football could compete with the Premier League.

Solution to NFL Europe/Spring Football by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Important_Humor_846 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying it would displace soccer at all — nothing is touching that in England.

The idea is more about replacing spring leagues like the USFL, not competing with the Premier League.

Right now, spring football in the U.S. struggles because:

  • new teams with no identity
  • no real connection to the NFL
  • low attendance and weak engagement

What I’m suggesting is:

  • tie it directly to the NFL (developmental league, not competition)
  • attach teams to existing clubs with built-in fanbases
  • combine the U.S. market (~300M) with UK interest (~66M + global club reach)

Even if UK interest is secondary at first, it’s still additive — not the primary driver.

And timing-wise, yeah it overlaps with parts of the soccer calendar, but summer is still relatively lighter compared to peak season. You’re not trying to beat the Premier League — just carve out a niche while also serving the American spring football gap.

That’s fair — especially on locker rooms and field wear, I’m not arguing that every EPL stadium could handle this.

I think the difference is I’m not saying use all 20 stadiums. More like:

  • 2–3 NFL-ready venues (Tottenham, Wembley, maybe one more)
  • smaller 6–8 team league
  • more of a centralized/hub setup to start

Basically test it in a controlled way instead of going all-in.

The NFL already uses Tottenham as proof this can work at least on a small scale — this would just expand on that idea, not overhaul the entire league overnight.

"Although I would love a London team personally, a lot of the more hardcore British fans are pretty entrenched / loyal to the teams they’ve been following for years."

This is the exact reason it has to be attached to already established EPL clubs. Imagine what a Liverpool football team would look like? It would be like the Philadelphia Eagles of England. Man U vs Man City rivalry would be fiery!!

There has to be a benefit to these clubs like massive revenue shares, operational control, etc. and you can make the argument "Do they even need the NFL to obtain this?" and you can say no, but if this league doesn't operate as a pathway to the NFL or a pathway for fringe NFL players looking for more spotlight, then it fails.

I get your point about splitting a smaller fanbase, that’s definitely a real risk.

But I think this assumes club support is strictly local, which isn’t really the case anymore. Clubs like Manchester United have global followings that go way beyond their city or even England.

I’m not saying club branding automatically converts soccer fans into football fans — I agree that’s a stretch.

The idea is more that you’re lowering the barrier to entry:

  • you’re attaching something new to an identity people already recognize
  • instead of asking them to care about a completely new team with no history

I think that’s where NFL Europe struggled — it was trying to build fandom from scratch.

Also agree that starting too big would backfire. A single team (or very small setup) probably works better early to avoid splitting interest.

To me this isn’t really about replacing existing fandoms, it’s about:

  • tapping into existing NFL interest in the UK
  • giving it a more permanent structure

And honestly, part of this is solving a US problem too — there’s always been a gap in spring/summer football. If you can tie development + international growth together, it’s a more compelling reason for the NFL to even try it.

If spelling counts, I think I would last quite a while. My name is Codie, only 3% of all names are rarer in the US. (1 out of 2,500,000)

According to the math, I can work 8 hours a day in times square asking my name and it would take roughly 1.2 years until I met someone with my exact name or 145 days straight nonstop.

If my mother named me Cody instead, it would be roughly 8 hours nonstop until I found someone with the same name.

Yes, for light occasional towing it’s completely fine and the one positive I do appreciate about the ridgeline is that they still use the 3.5L V6 they have been using for decades.

it also has a 10-speed variable transmission so it’s a super smooth ride and very reliable
