There are a ton of things aligning to make it happen, just waiting for it all to fall apart.

DraftKings and whatnot have certainly helped take the stink off of the 'gambling capital of the world' stigma that was an automatic no in the past.

Remember when Tony Romo had his event cancelled because the NFL threatened players and their parents because the event was being held in a place owned by a casino and now threatening sponsors, I wonder how much the NFL's lawyers hate the Raiders right now.

The company putting it on sued them, so now the NFL is using the discovery process to subpoena losses from those sponsors of the event that was cancelled to determine liability/refute damages claims it looks like. But the headlines are that the NFL is harassing vendors.

I'd be interested in how they'd try and interfere w/ this not being in Vegas and if there was no lawsuit against them.

Romo is part owner of that company, they were harassing them they were granted an injunction from the NFL contacting them.

Ben is 34. Brees is 37. Brees also is a free agent after this year.
Not to be Overly Convo... but I'm going to throw this out there as a "potential" reason the Saints inquired about trading up for a QB... I wasn't actually IN the draft room so wtf knows though...

The Saints still haven't signed an extension with Brees so this coming year is his last under contract. If they float stuff like they're looking to replace Brees sooner with a new QB and let rumors get out that they're looking at options to him in the near term it may help their leverage in contract negotiations if they at least fake like they'll walk away from the table.

All I can say is I LOVE BREES but I fucking hate Tom Condon. He is a true son of a bitch. I don't care that he's great for the players getting paid. I hate that he is universally known to be a fucking dick to the teams he's trying to fleece.

Are you really that butt hurt about speculating why teams are doing what they're doing that you feel the need for a disclaimer? As long as the opinion makes a little sense, who cares? Don't be such a fag

Don't get butt hurt that others recognize you are delusional like I've been saying.

Ok... What did you see from this team last year that makes you think they are anything other than an average team?
You said they were 8-8 with or without him, facts are they were 3-1 with him and 1-11 without him. You are pants on head fucking retarded, and its painfully obvious to everyone. You said this with the full benefit of fucking hindsight, weapons grade stupid.

They got a gift from the Giants(remember that) beat my horribly coached and staffed Eagles then lost to Falcons, saints and Patriots... Outside the pats, none of those teams were very good.

I've been pretty rational about all this. Eagles won 7 games last year, and I'm only saying they will win 1 more. You didn't do much on defense despite most predictions by mouth breathing cowboy fans that your D will be one of the best in the league.

3-1 with Romo, 1-11 without him that shit you spewed before the edit isn't a response by someone who is capable of rational thinking. The very fact that the cowboys were 1-11 without Romo disputes the shit you said that they were an 8-8 team without him and you are fucking delusional for thinking otherwise.
