Something going down:

There’s a Washington football bombshell coming and it’s not about the name

The removal of a racist nickname won’t end Daniel Snyder’s problems. Not long after the Washington owner announced that his team would no longer be known as the Redskins, a series of cr…

I've no idea what you're talking about, it's not me who's changing their name after 80 years because it is racist.

I'm interested in the NFL as regards the effects on the bottom line of the real race batters. Which is definitely not me.

It's basically pc crap. Though I can't read the original article. I was hoping for at least some match-fixing, betting fraud or something like that.

[doghouse]

Oh man, old news. NFL is gonna hammer him.

I don't condone harassment, but this may be the one thing that rids us of Shithead

 

[Fwiffo]

So apparently we are just going to start the season as if the c word didn’t happen?

Did anyone watch week 1?

Did anyone watch week 1?

i caught some of the dallas la game. everything seemed kind of boring with no people in the stands and the games on tv were relatively boring.

Didn’t KC have fans?

Are they making the west coast teams play in toxic air?

Seems like it. They played a baseball game last night. The players were apprently having trouble breathing

 

[Rambo]

nutty weekend. anyone watching the new season so far? the injury list is getting LONG.

Apparently since it took me 3 iPad swipes on the NFL news page to get to anything beyond injury news.

I was more interested whether Gronkowski is a factor and it looks like he isn’t.

not as of yet no. brady looks like shit as well.

What is the point of this season?

 

[Fwiffo]

I didn't even know Dez Bryant was still playing until they said he tested positive.

 

[Fwiffo]

Brady gets the Bucs into the playoffs. I could have sworn they limped into the playoffs in recent years and were tossed out in the first round.

 

[Rambo]

Lolbrowns

 

[Fwiffo]

Wasn't there an epic collapse by the Steelers?

Anyway - the Browns being anything but in the basement without a win is a victory.

 

[Rambo]

no one watching the playoffs. doghouse 's nameless team didn't fare as bad as i thought they would.

buffalo looks like the team to beat in the afc.

 

[güero]

Bills were great. I bet (and lost) the farm on the Seahawks.

Buffalo? Don't they always choke?

I haven't watched the NFL other than a few highlights mainly due to my opinion this season's record and statistics is now tainted by the virus.

What happened with the Redskins? They had a draft pick QB, benched him, dug Alex Smith out of the exile that losing Superbowl quarterbacks go to...And?

 

[Fwiffo]

This Sunday. 41 year old Brees vs 43 year old Brady. Could be Brees' last game.

 

[Rambo]

who we got in this weekend's games?

I'm going GB and Tompa in the NFC and Buffalo and KC in the AFC

Interesting, why Tampa?

I was going to go with the favorites in all games, but it's likely there will be at least one surprise.

 

[Rambo]

Interesting, why Tampa?

kind of a toss up there to be honest. saints have a lot of injuries, tompa has a lot of weaknesses. it should be a good game though.

 

[güero]

yeah maybe I'll go with Tampa. Don't feel like rooting for Tom Brady, but I watched the first half of the last Saints game and they weren't convincing. At least it seems the odds are out of whack for this game... The rest of the games seem pretty straightfoward this year.

Is Rothelisberger retiring? Bit young to retire for him isn't it?
