LOL @ the Redskins

[UncleMilti]

I always thought rg3 hambricked his way through his first season. He did well, but only because he was asked for very little and the entire team was geared around the few things they did.

He had the upside, but unless he actually took his considerable talent and improved on the field he was always going to be a disappointment.

If the Redskins are going to remain committed to RGIII, IMO, they should make a return to the style of play that RGIII was comfortable with in 2012. Sometimes you have to play to your guy's strengths instead of trying to fit the square peg through the round hole.

The track record has been positive when they've played to RGIII's strengths. They won the division and RGIII was one of the NFL's most dynamic weapons.

I think it could work if RGIII would pull his head out of his arse and stop taking unnecessary hits. I think that's what makes the Redskins apprehensive about going back to that style of play. If he knew how to avoid big hits like Russell Wilson I think we'd see them willing to allow him to run more.

Yeah, him in the pocket is just not a viable option.

But him out of the pocket is bad, too. He's built like a sprinter, and Can. Not. Slide. Hurt himself last week just trying to slide.

They've got a real problem.

Did you guys see the pro-Redskins commercial that aired during last night's game?

That's the power of money. The funny thing is it doesn't go both ways.

You see fine ass dime pieces hook up with Freddy Krueger looking dudes all the time, all because they're rich.

But rarely do you see good looking dudes hook up with chicks like Honey Boo Boo's mom; no matter how much money is involved.

my mom has a sixty year old friend that was hot until her 50's, yet despite her current looks has gone through a succession 20 something boy toys who she supports before they invariably steal a 100 grand and run off into the night.

Has she restocked on cash yet?

Give her a few months, the last one ran out only a couple of months ago. I have to warn you, the job keeps looking worse and the severance package keeps getting smaller

I think last night something broke in my brain. Sack fumble, 7 points to NY. Two drives of making Eli ****ing retarded face Manning aka the terrible Manning march down the field just throwing the ball really high to Anthony Mix 2.0 while our linebackers and defensive backs blow coverage over and over and DON'T TURN FOR THE ****ING FOOTBALL. +7, +7.

Then we're driving down the field at the end of the half with a sure touchdown and chance to be down only 7 despite our terrible showing, and Logan ****ing Paulsen coughs up the ball. Then the Giants get up to the 40 in spite of terrible clock management, we force a 3rd and long at the 40 with 7 seconds left and Victor Cruz, one of the few players in the NFL I would love to see get hit by a bus while he's salsa dancing around in the street, catches a pass and struts backwards out the sideline with 1 second. +3. 24-7 at the half. That's how frequently the Redskins ****ing blow ironically.

Even then I stuck around. I was already at an 8 on the 1-10 scale of anger and despair, but I stuck around like I do every ****ing time year in and year out because I must be retarded or something. I promise myself, if they come out in the 2nd half looking better, I'll stick around. We go straight down the field and score. 24-14, our defense makes a stop, our offense is rolling again. Then Kirk Cousins throws an interception. Ok, it happens. If the Giants score here I'm out. I don't turn games off but if they go up 31-14 I'm not going to watch the remaining 25 or so minutes of football.

We get an interception, what a miracle. They review it and elect NOT to put points on the board for the Giants, another total ****ing miracle given the fact that we're something like 0-4 on challenges this year when we really should be 4-0 or at least 3-1. Anyway, the smallest glimmer of hope sweeps back into my mind. For just a moment I thought "hey, maybe we'll manage to dig ourselves out of this...maybe this is a game changer..." then BAM Kirk Cousins comes straight out and gives the ball right back to the Giants.

I don't even know what happened after that. I turned the game off and went upstairs to play Counter-Strike, which was far more enjoyable than watching the Redskins absolutely suck penis on national television for the 54001924818th time in my life. I saw the score before going to bed, hung my head ashamed of the team, wondering aloud "why the **** am I devoted to this pile of scrubs with no hope of success???" 3 years now and we're still starting Tyler Polombus, a player who could be upgraded by placing a folding chair at the right tackle position. This team is going nowhere.

Then I climb in bed, turn on the TV, decide I'll put on the daily show for some laughs. They have an entire segment on the Redskins name featuring some of the dumbest redskins fans you'll ever find, and a bunch of pissed off Native Americans. It was the final kick to the testicles of the evening. I hate this stupid team and the only thing we all have left to cling to is our past, history, and identity and they're taking that away too. The name will change, we'll go with something stupid, safe, boring, innocuous, so as not to offend the easily offended. We'll become another franchise with a bland and nonsensical name with no history or pride. Like the ****ing Jaguars, the Wizards, the Phoenix Coyotes, who ****ing cares anymore?

Who honestly can say they give a **** what happens to this baby **** burning dumpster tire-fire of a franchise at this point? I'm not sorry, I don't apologize, **** the Washington Redskins. Everything we do is wrong. I can't take this **** anymore. I no longer enjoy watching football. I cannot root for another team, but I can't for the health of me continue to subject myself to this one. It's been 23 years for me of not turning the game off, putting off other things on Sunday so I didn't miss a single second of the futility, pain, misery, stupidity. I barely remember anything of when we were great, all I remember is ****ing garbage and being the laughing stock of the NFL. The Washington Redskins are a joke and we're all the punchline

During Washington’s home opener in mid-September, the fine gents from Ball Hogs Radio cracked open a nice, cold, World Cup beer at FedEx Field. That wasn’t a huge deal, except for the fact that the World Cup had ended more than two months before the Redskins hosted the Jaguars.

I didn’t write anything at the time, because I figured maybe Budweiser was just planning to manufacture 2014 World Cup beer in perpetuity. It was a great World Cup. Why not continue to commemorate it with nice, cold beer? Or maybe they just had lots of extra bottles?

But the Redskins played again on Thursday night, about 2 1/2 months after the World Cup ended and 3 1/2 months after that tournament started. And yet again, a fan received a World Cup-branded beer at FedEx Field.

I asked the customer to photograph the date code on the bottom of that bottle, and he complied.

Then I typed that code into Budweiser’s “Track Your Bud” feature on its Web site. “Your Bud has passed its freshness date,” the site told me. “Dan Westmoreland would like to buy you a fresh Budweiser. Please contact us.”

Expect 80,573 e-mails, Budweiser! Or at least 65,000, anyhow.

And so Washington’s defense wasn’t the only thing stale at FedEx Field on Thursday night. How many ways did the Redskins get skunked against the Giants? I mean, that was a flat performance, from the field to the fridge. The era of good feelings is rapidly reaching its expiration date. Etc. Etc.

Still, there was some symmetry here. Perhaps the bottle was sold in tribute to popular teams suffering humiliating losses in front of international audiences on their home fields.

(Also, at least there is no history of selling outdated concessions at FedEx Field. I mean, besides that time when the Redskins were selling peanuts from an airline that had gone out of business.)

Say which you will about JJ (and I'm good with any and all of it), but I would take his brand of awful over Snyder's any day.

I might consider drinking a 3 month old past its prime beer if my team was 4-0 and rolling.

But 45-14, on my 2nd shitty QB, the whole team flatlining..... and I gotta drink that shit?

FCC considers banning Washington name from broadcast TV

Posted by Mike Florio on September 30, 2014, 9:01 PM EDT


With the blackout rule now scuttled, the FCC can turn its attention to another NFL-related item of business: Preventing broadcast networks from using the name of the Washington NFL franchise.

On Tuesday, FCC chairman Tom Wheeler said that the league will be considering a petition filed earlier this month alleging that the term is indecent.

“We will be dealing with that issue on the merits, and we will be responding accordingly,” Wheeler said, via the National Journal.

George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf argued in the petition that the term constitutes a “racist, racially derogatory word.” A decision that the term is indecent would block over-the-air networks (CBS, FOX, NBC, and ABC) from using the term. The word could still be used in cable broadcasts.

But it wouldn’t matter. A ruling from the FCC that the term is indecent would force the NFL to change the name.

To be clear, acknowledgment that the issue will be addressed doesn’t mean that the FCC will decide to characterize the term as indecent. But it may, and that would be far more significant than today’s ruling that the little-used blackout rule no longer can be enforced by the NFL against the networks.

That would be really stupid.

Congress looking to take NFL's tax break away if it doesn't change Redskins name

By Frank SchwabOctober 1, 2014 6:22 PMShutdown Corner



The NFL operates as a not-for-profit. That's the league's tax status, which is laughable.

The league makes billions of dollars. It's the most successful sports league in American history, a record it breaks every year. Even with a ton of controversial off-field issues in September, television ratings improved again. It is one of the top businesses in the country. The NFL prints money. It just struck a deal with DirecTV that pays the league $1.5 billion annually, according to ESPN. Commissioner Roger Goodell made $44.2 million in 2012.

Congress is finally looking into the NFL's tax status, but at least one member of Congress is strangely tying it to the Redskins' name controversy, according to ABC News.


Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton is cosponsor of the House bill that would cut off the NFL's tax break. She represents the District of Columbia. ABC News said new bills were introduced in recent weeks to take away the not-for-profit designation. Norton said that the NFL might get that cushy tax break yanked ... unless it changes the Redskins' name.

"The NFL greed is so widespread that they’ve chosen to operate as a tax-exempt organization. So we want to take that choice away from them unless, and until, they decide not to profit from a name that has now officially been declared a racial slur,” Norton said on the ESPN/ABC podcast “Capital Games,” according to ABCNews.com.


Norton was doing perfectly fine, right up to "unless, and until ... "

So what exactly is she saying? So the NFL can keep its greedy (her words) and unfair tax break as long as it dumps the Redskins' nickname? It doesn't seem right that they'd be allowed to hold onto what Norton deemed wrong as long as they give up something else. How about, "We're going to look into your tax-exempt status because it's entirely unfair?" That seems a little better. Even if this is the only real leverage the government has in the fight over Washington's nickname, these issues are entirely separate.

The NFL shouldn't really be allowed to run as a not-for-profit entity because we all know better. No "unless." No "and until." Just that it should be changed. Stop there. Go to work for the people you represent instead of bribing the NFL to change a team nickname.

According to ABC News, National Journal columnist and veteran political analyst Norm Ornstein spoke on the podcast about the “unhealthy and unholy relationship the NFL has long maintained with Congress.” That's probably a fair assessment. American's football culture has caused otherwise smart people to do a lot of dumb things, like pay college football coaches more than $5 million a year while tuition costs are skyrocketing.

So someone in Washington probably should reexamine NFL's tax status, without having to threaten the league that you might take away its tax break if it doesn't change the Redskins name. How about looking into taking it away because of the greed you referenced, Congresswoman?

I browsed thru Extremeskins after the Seahawks game the other night. Either ES has eliminated 98% of the retards who posted there, or they have finally gotten it thru their brains that the Redskins really do suck and that Bob III is not the Eternal Salvation that everyone thought he'd be.

I thought the Hershel Walker trade thread was pretty funny. The finally admitted their lack of talent.
