I'd be willing to bet the fan probably got what he/she (or any of the other 47 genders) deserved. That's the thing. I get that team owners can't be doing what Tepper did, but there were hundreds of "regular" fans doing the same thing (and worse) in the stands lats weekend and nobody gives a damn. Drinks being thrown at opposing fans is part of the stadium experience in many NFL cities. If Tepper had stood there and talked trash after throwing his drink rather than walking away, I kind of would have respected that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I e been to dozens of games, most in Lambeau, but a half dozen in other stadiums as well and I've never once seen someone throw a drink. I know it happens, but I don't think it's THAT common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it happens, but I don't think it's THAT common Maybe my favorite live sporting event moment was at a Milwaukee Admiral’s game in my teens and the Admiral’s coach got completely pissed at the officials and just started chucking hockey sticks from the bench out on the ice. And then the whole arena starting throwing their cups, etc out on the ice. Man, it was hilarious. Teenage me loved it.

Brat&Beer Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 In the NFC an 8-9 team could make the playoffs. In the AFC a 10-7 team could miss the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a large part of this is if you look at all the high end QB prospects that worked out, they pretty much all went to AFC teams. FRPs at QB since 2017: AFC: Mahomes, Watson, Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Jackson, Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Lawrence, Wilson, Jones, Pickett, Stroud. NFC: Trubisky, Rosen, Murray, Jones, Haskins (RIP), Love, Lance, Fields, Young. Not only have AFC teams drafted almost twice as many first round QBs over the past seven drafts, they have fewer complete misses (even Darnold and Wilson weren't unproductive at the level Rosen, Haskins, and Lance were), and almost all of the really good ones. Like Love and Murray are probably the top 2 first round QBs taken in the NFC in this period, but #3 is really murky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
