So a black tie event BK?
The other one is:

Your choice.
Gives the impression of "filling your diaper!" 
The envy is palpable.
How long before I can reasonably expect my eyesight to return? I'm writing this on a braille to text app.
It should return in a few hours, but you may not be able to eat sausage for months.

The Jets couldn't be in a better position to succeed. It's going to be fun seeing what unfolds

There is no one more excited about Hard Knocks than Mark Murphy.
Awwwww.....guess everything isn't 🌈 🌈 & 🦄🦄
Best part of Hard Knocks Ep1 was when the one dude said he wanted to eat a "Car Coochie" board. Charcuterie.
I guess Lazard and Cobb forgot the secret hand signals.

You mean everything isn’t a pride parade???? 😀
The best line in this article is you can't spell Hackett without hack.
There is a lot of hype around the New York Jets this season with Aaron Rodgers under center. HBO’s “Hard Knocks” is only adding to that.
However, even with a four-time MVP at quarterback and both the reigning offensive and defensive player of the year, some aren’t sold on the Jets.
NFL Insider Jason La Canfora of Audacy’s original podcast “In The Huddle” explained why he isn’t buying into the hype but is “fading the hell out of the Jets” instead.
“I think you need to look at this for what it is. The Jets have a really tough early schedule in part because they’re playing a lot of primetime games,” La Canfora said (1:35 in player above). “The league is looking to make money off the Jets. NFL Films is an arm of the league.”
Rodgers in New York was always going to be one of the big storylines this season. The fact that the Jets are featured on “Hard Knocks” only adds to that.
“There’s a lot of people in the business of gassing this up, hyping this up, making the Jets must-see TV. Why would the Jets be must-see TV? Because you’re not going to be able to avoid them the first six weeks of the season!” La Canfora exclaimed. “They’re going to jam ‘em down your throat. That’s all one hand washes the other.”
While some are hyping up Rodgers and the Jets, La Canfora is going in the other direction.
“Look at Vegas (sportsbooks) at some of the numbers on the Jets. I think they’re overinflated,” he said. “I’m fading the hell out of the Jets.”
La Canfora detailed the hype machine going on in New York because while Woody Johnson wants to win football games, he also wants to sell a “bleep-load” of jerseys and other merchandise.
“So yeah, this is whipping everybody into a frenzy about Gang Green turning the corner and this guy who won back-to-back MVPs a couple of years ago being in Gotham and being the savior. I get it,” he said. “There are narratives you can run wild with if you haven’t watched this guy play last year or you want to pretend it didn’t happen.”
It’s safe to say that La Canfora is out on the Jets this season.
“I’m fading them. You can get plus money on the Jets to miss the playoffs. I’m going to repeat that,” he emphasized. “You can get plus money on the Jets to do what they always do, miss the playoffs! +125!”
The AFC is going to be tough and the AFC East still has the Bills clearly ahead of the Jets. La Canfora also isn’t sold on Rodgers playing behind a lackluster offensive line.
“The part I love about the Jets – I bet you don’t hear a whole lot about this on ‘Hard Knocks’ – how Mekhi Becton still looks like a stiff. How Duane Brown’s a 36-year-old starting left tackle,” he said. “This ain’t David Bakhtiari in his prime when this cat was winning back-to-back MVPs and didn’t have to worry about anything.
“I defy people who are betting on the Jets and are hyping up the Jets and crushing their popcorn and beer while they watch ‘Hard Knocks’, who’s behind Mekhi Becton on the depth chart? Max Mitchell. I bet you don’t know him at all! So that’s what I’m looking at. The best teams in football are built from the inside out. This guy at this stage of his career needs to be incubated.”
La Canfora then compared Rodgers to another veteran quarterback who may have hung on a bit too long.
“It’s like late-stage Ben Roethlisberger,” he said. “It’s also like late-stage Ben Roethlisberger because there were no checks and balances. Big Ben had Randy Fichtner there calling the plays, except he wasn’t calling the plays, Big Ben was calling the plays. And this is the same thing with Nathaniel Hackett – can’t spell Hackett without hack…
“Again, ride the hype train. Enjoy the theatre. Enjoy the television. Get yourself all amped up for Week 1,” La Canfora reiterated. “When they’re below .500 at the early bye, we’ll see how Aaron Rodgers handles that.
“We’ll see how up for the fight Aaron Rodgers is. We’ll see how much he wants to push the ball downfield to Garrett Wilson behind this offensive line. Let’s see it. Bring it on.”
Saw Vegas has the jets over/under On wins this season at 9.5. I’m not sure 10 wins gets them to the playoffs and 9 sure as hell won’t.
I’m hoping for a good deal of Schadenfreude this fall….and 65% of snaps.
It's never to early to (watch other teams fans) panic.

I'm fascinated if he can keep up appearances for his entire tenure in NY. 8 is intensely invested in how he's perceived. Jets fans are over the moon right now because they've yet to see how it goes when it doesn't according to his plan.
It's more than obnoxious how Jets fans are puffing their feathers over how he wants to be there and GB 'mistreated' him. They're under the get it done gun and acting like they drafted a 10 year solution.
8 knows his time is short and is doing everything in his power to go all in. If he doesn't feel that reciprocated and the road gets tough all this happy to be here bullshit is getting kicked to the curb.
He's not interested in putting the team on his back, he wants the Jets to mortgage their 5 year plan and go for broke in a 2 year window that cripples their future in the way Green Bay never would. He literally invested $35 million of his own money to win a Superbowl for his legacy. He has a seat at the table for how the Jets salary cap is allocated. He also has a legitimate gripe if they don't improve the roster. Other teams are going to charge higher prices for assets accordingly.
8 is going to go from loved to hated real quick in NY if the Jets fans start to feel like the Super Bowl they're chasing is unattainable. Green Bay is a patient market that considers all the angles. NY is not that. 8 found his way from one of the most positive, forgiving professional environments to one of the most pessimistic. The GB press is fair, the NY press is looking to sensationalize the back pages. Rodgers won't be able to help himself from condescending the critiques with innuendo if he feels they're unfair. In NY that turns into a 7 day a week story that gets advanced during each radio block.
i certainly hope the jets fail. but I wouldn’t put any stock in what La Canfora says. he’s almost always wrong.

I would bet it would make a great "30 for 30" type documentary on ESPN some day.
As I said in another thread, why would the Big 10 still want Northwestern in the conference if they don't want Cal and Stanford? Are there really that many people in the Chicago area that watch the Big 10 specifically because of Northwestern?
