I don’t understand how I’m supposed to be entertained by LIV and frankly, I’m confused by what makes it different than the PGA Tour. From what I’ve read, the LIV contracts are so big that earnings from tournaments seem negligible. Winning and losing is meaningless from a fan’s point of view. Meanwhile, winning on the PGA Tour seems to mean something, both historically and monetarily.

People always make this point like not paying income tax on ~50% of your multimillion dollar earnings isn’t an absolutely massive thing.

This point gets overblown bc players end up paying state taxes based on each state they play in. It’s still different bc you’ll play ~50% of games in one state but not as extreme as you think.

this is a meme comment made by a meme person

teams are bad until they're good. that transition already happened for the Lions last season, unless you forgot to watch football for the entire year

their primary need is defensive studs. If Wagner to the Lions doesn't happen it's only because it makes too much sense, and those deals never seem to happen

He made the right move. Got paid barely anything on his rookie deal, then got exposed (with bad QB play) after he signed the big deal with the Jags. Nothing wrong with that.

Only the patriots, packers, and 49ers have more playoff wins than the Seahawks in the last 10 years. And 2 of those teams didn’t even make the playoffs this year
