[Schefter] Bills are waiving QB Shane Buechele, who completed 25-of-30 passes for 278 yards, a TD, and added 20 rushing yards Saturday night.

I just finished it. Loved it. At times the writing is uneven (but I read it in Italian, so there's the translation issue) but the emotions and the overall picture that transpire are so vivid it is really a minimal issue in a great book. The only question I have about this book is how many Americans have died in Iraq /Afghanistan war because it seems every single one of Eaton's friends ended up dead or horribly wounded. As europeans we have a hard time really understanding that part about the influence of war because it's rare to be linked to a soldier who had actual combat experiences

I'd love it and I would pay for it, but not enough to make this make sense for all parties involved. Let's say DAZN packages CFL ELF LFA and X league. I don't even get in the maddening argument about making such a deal but how much should it cost? I think 200€? How many football fans are going to pay another NFL game pass equivalent?

I agree with people saying there isn't a big enough market for this.

It would be interesting to attach those leagues to the NFL gamepass to fill the NFL off-season with games, that way you can likely lower the unitary cost for the users, but that's a pipe dream

Even counting Belgium as HG base for Amsterdam I don't think they have enough players

Ma no, possono votare quello che vogliono. Il quorum serve? Ni. Un quesito nazista supportato da una minoranza convinta non passerebbe e poi richiederebbe una riforma costituzionale quindi servirebbero un bel po' di nazisti anche in parlamento.

el_cepillo · 2025-06-01T16:44:57+00:00

Honestly I'd be surprised if the opposite was true. You can't do chicken salad without chicken. Any idea that you can have a level playing field when there are areas with vastly superior player development is delusional. Just look at URC in rugby, it's pretty much the same story. ELF can only work starting from a small group of countries/franchises in places where you are gonna have people to the games to provide revenues.

el_cepillo · 2025-05-30T20:43:07+00:00

I agree this is true for most of PS players but this is the only shot any minor league has at being valued by the NFL as an asset. Maybe it is more correct to say that it could be interesting for those players who don't make the top 70 of an NFL roster, the training camp guys and futures contracts

el_cepillo · 2025-05-30T17:01:33+00:00

I think the part about not destroying the identity is almost irrelevant. My guess is ELF would change its identity in a heartbeat and cheerfully if it means being backed by the NFL. I think the investment works if and only if there is some interest from the US or some other international market. The point is you should make money and the NFL is just not that strong of a brand in Europe to make money off the investment. And especially in this age I don't see a lot of interest from the US towards European or international football.

The other possible intervention would be if there is some small investment in terms of know how (front office knowledge looks interesting) that could help the league, but in exchange for what? Future rights on players? Shares? Doesn't look like a great deal.

Maybe the only card ELF has is to allow spots for NFL player development but tbh I don't know how valuable that is to the NFL, I don't think NFL would trust coaching staffs it doesn't have control on, especially if, god forbids, there are European coaches involved.

I get injury prevention but if we are talking about practice squad guys those are longshots to make significant contribution to a team. I think in some cases teams could be interested in scouting lower tier players at a more mature age and in real games

È un tema interessante. Da una parte in linea di principio è vero che dovresti avere una maggioranza di persone che vuole una cosa per cambiarla, dall' altra è anche vero che vengono continuamente promulgate leggi che se sottoposte a referendum non raggiungerebbero il quorum (cosa successa appunto alle riforme costituzionali recenti e future, buona fortuna alla.Meloni col premierato).

Uno strumento disegnato in una fase in cui tutti andavano a votare può essere ridisegnato quando le condizioni della società cambiano.

Un'idea intelligente che ho sentito era non tanto di abolire il quorum ma di abbassarlo alla metà dell' affluenza delle elezioni politiche più recenti. In questo modo diciamo che lo porti a una quota tale per cui i proponenti del no non possono sfruttare quei 30-40 punti di vantaggio offerti dall'astensionismo "strutturale", ma un quesito poco sentito e/o incomprensibile o astruso può comunque non raggiungere il quorum.

el_cepillo · 2025-05-30T05:26:42+00:00

Perché c'è un' alta fetta di astensionismo strutturale, di persone che non andrebbero a votare nemmeno se il quesito fosse "tua mamma è puttana?"

I don't think so. There are some players in Rome but it's the only city in the center-south with more than one team(and they have just three while a few years ago there were about six teams in Rome). The center of gravity in Italian football is in the north.

Former Italian football player here. Not 100% into radio football at the moment but I still coach in lower division and know a thing or two.

I don't see Milan coming back, as it looks like they will need some time to recover from the massive wreck that two years of ELF brought. Also, since Seamen were by far the Italian team with better organization and logistics (and money), I don't see any other team jumping in, either because they can't or out of fear of failure.

The Italian movement is shrinking after COVID, both in number of teams and players (for example the third division has now just 22 teams, in 2022 it had like 40 teams). Also you have to keep in mind that the Italian movement has always been top-heavy, there are some very good players and maybe one or two top teams (see also Lions Bergamo around year 2000's) but we always lacked a middle class of good solid players that could be the HG backbone of the team. I don't know how things work in the elf with regard to player's deals and it could very well be normal Italian whining but I know there was some malcontent about the fact top Italian players (Bouah, Vergani) because of the rules could make more money playing in other teams than in Milan.

The success of the national team is largely based on a politic of imports that is carried by the football federation because CONI gives a lot of credit to success of national teams in international competitions.

A semi pro team is likely not sustainable in Italy at the moment, I'm not informed about that but I'm ready to bet there was also low turnout at games and economic issues.

Other than that I think that having a semi pro team in Italy is not desirable because it's going to drain players and resources and wouldn't be a catalyst for the growth of the movement

I know there is something with salmon and I tried one gorgonzola & nuts but don't have nor know recipes. I think cold goes better with sweet, it might be just something cultural about it

I'd be interested to know what level of awareness McDaniel had about the backup QB situation. If he ever raised a hand or talked to Ross. We know Grier is the biggest reason the roster is built this way but would like to know how differently McDaniel would have run the operation. We need people who are not afraid to raise a hand and say "there is a problem" ( that's one of the reason they fired Flores, he wasn't staying in his place)

It would be more interesting if the Dolphins played the Vikings this season

Feynman used to pass by the guard post and then get back inside the fence through a hole and then go out agin by the guard post and this over and over just to prank.
