The grandson is not making demands. He thinks “it would be cool” if the logo his grandfather created was used in throwback uniforms abd things like that. 
 

The senator is grandstanding so he can claim to be fighting for the native Americans in his state so maybe he can get them to vote for him and he doesn’t give 2 ****s how it impacts the people who live in and near DC. 
 

Edit. It’s not clear to me if a topic about the team’s stadium but with a political overlay belongs in this forum or the tailgate. Happy to follow the mods’ direction here. 

Tailgate because political and societal issues are creeping into discussion and don’t belong here; even though this is about the new stadium.

Someone should just create a thread in the tailgate.

”Political/Societal Issues related to new stadium.”

I would edit that before Jumbo gets hangry.

Since there’s a political aspect to the stadium issue, just post it in the tailgate.

With an eventual 18 game season, I've said that every team would be required one neutral site game:

It would be an 18 game season over 20 weeks, since their would be 2 byes.

Since every team would get a neutral site game, that's 32 potential games.

I'd have 13 in London, 13 in Germany, 2 in other international sites and 4 in other neutral sites in the US like Orlando, Portland, San Antonio, etc...

A network like Amazon or Netflix, etc... can bid on those games.

>>>The NFL’s 2024 schedule was finally released in its totality on Wednesday night. It's an amazingly and intricately designed compromise, one that literally requires multiple millions of hours of super-computing (and some human) input, aimed at satisfying as many parties with disparate priorities as possible – owners, networks, fans, et al. – despite the fact that every team’s 2024 opponents were locked in at the conclusion of the 2023 regular season. And the variables for an ever-evolving process only continue to increase – from an expanding list of broadcast partners to more international obligations, to added emphasis on holiday windows like Christmas (even mid-week, like this year) and Black Friday … and, in all likelihood, the eventual addition of an 18th regular-season game.<L<<

USA Today: Nate Davis- Reimagined NFL schedule: 7 ways league can optimize lineup of games – and its bottom line

Some of Nate's ideas are good.  The Cup idea is stupid though.

Expanding the playoffs to 16 teams and at the same time half a draft bowl with the other 16 non-playoff teams is a good idea.  For the non-playoff teams, you will have to earn the right to get that top draft pick.   It will give teams out of the playoffs, some thing to shoot for.

I love Red Lobster . My annual bday meal. I’m there now and decide to go, in case my RL closes.

If you’re not voting for Biden no matter what, then who really cares what you think he needs to do.

The Times wants Trump back in and they know they’d be the one paper the dictator would still love.

Kirk is so good, Atlanta already drafted his replacement.

I move the ceiling to 9-8 now, with a little luck. Anywhere from 7-10 to 9-8.

One big takeaway that I noticed that I didn’t see mentioned yet is the fact that our only two primetime games this year will be both on the road (@CIN and @PHI).  The league is telling us what kind of HFA we have at (formerly) Fed-EX Field.  I don’t see us hosting any more primetime games again, even if we do have a decent season, because the stadium is terrible and the optics of it being occupied mostly by away fans is not ideal to the Commanders or their brand.

The stadium is being refurbished. We will

get home prime time games. The new stadium is 4-5 years away.  They aren’t going to not give home prime time games. When we have a record worth earning it, we will.

Week 2 SNF: Bears @ Texans - Caleb got a good game for his national debut.

Trump agreed to July debate on CNN.

It’s on.

Trump wants someone he can control completely. What's to keep him from nominating one of his own children? It's not like he needs the GOP's approval, since he's pretty much taken over the party anyway.

Trump nominates Jr. Trumps wins and Jr has Trump eliminated.

Voters have short memories. They are selfish and only care about the things they decide to care about (which tends to be things that affect them or affect a group they care about - see: every conversation about taxes 😆.) 

 

and despite the dems and the Biden team trying to convince everyone the economy is great - people don’t feel that way. The inflation rate may be down, but it does nothing for the inflation we’ve seen over the last 4ish years. Things are still significantly more expensive than they were before Covid. Significantly more. Interest rates are way higher.  (Edit: there are new polls showing this sentiment is starting to shift, people are starting to accept “the new normal”, we’ll see how it plays out through the election…)
 

it seems to me when people are generally happy in their day to day lives, they vote to keep things in place. When they’re unhappy, they vote for change. 
 

it also seems to me people that do not do well with analyzing the cause of things. Combined with the short memory thing I mentioned, you get people who think Trump would do better than Biden because they’re unhappy and want change and don’t care nor remember 2016-2020. 
 

or they’re just sick of Biden and want change. 
 

I think it’s easy to understand. It’s stupid, but this is how our people work and it’s why we have the government we have (and deserve.)

 

You’ve got people (at least one of them is an active poster that dogs the republicans and trump with almost every post) threatening to vote for Trump because they don’t like bidens policy on Israel. 
 

🤷‍♂️

 

when you start realizing people are irrational, stupid, selfish, single issue voters that can’t remember much and don’t pay much attention to begin with… if this all falls apart history is not going to be very kind to the people of the USA. We have every resource to be responsible citizens that demand a great government that functions well and is the envy of the world - we don’t have it because we don’t deserve it and don’t work for it. 

People only care about their interests and not esoteric things like democracy.

If Joe wins,  it will be barely. Think the closeness of 2000 EC.

Biden needs to be spending some of that money now. Waiting until Labor Day, is too late. Views will be hardened then and not changing.

I firmly believe third party vote will be big enough to tip election one way or the other.

Wow.  Biden gonna run the score up in June.  

 

Trump hasn't had to answer to any of his garbage -- Jan 6, Stealing national secrets in any debate.  Anyone saying "we don't need debates" is a moron.... we need a clear contrast for people still undecided.

There won’t be an actual Debate but an actual **** show like one of the 2020 debates.

You honestly think there will be an actual debate.

There’s no need for any debates. It willl be even more of a **** show than the 2020 debates.

Have them do individual town halls with voters.

Jaguars playing two weeks in a row in london has got to be both a test balloon and a message from the nfl about the possibility of moving them over seas.

 

Jags reached a deal on a new stadium with Jacksonville, so looks like no.

The NFL will never have a team overseas because you won’t get players wanting to live in a foreign country. 
 

When the nfl expands to an 18 game season; you will see every team required to play a game overseas and the nfl will then have a permanent schedule of overseas games and probably a network/streamer to air those games.

Wish something on our schedule would leak.

I just saw a supposed leak of the entire schedule for the Patriots.

Well, there goes my week 1 prediction; as I had us facing Falcons.

Schrager has way better sources than me (I know he says he’s just speculating, but he could be hinting) but I would be very surprised to see two bad teams from 2023 open in the premier TV time slot for the NFL w1. I very strongly feel it will be Lions, as they are the most marquee team from last year that hasn’t been announced for W1 yet. 

I was thinking Lions also. The other 3 championship game participants already got prime slots; so the Lions should also.

Teams better than

My bad… sorry for mess up the time wasn’t on there so I assumed it was SNF… my bad I’m sorry … I was to quick to post lol 😝

Team better than us or Giants to open Sunday night.

Buffalo, Miami, Jacksonville, Houston, Indianapolis, Tampa, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, LA Rams

Of the teams with losing records that could be on SNF, LA Chargers- due to Harbaugh or Chicago- due to Caleb Williams.

Giants - Commanders don’t have same appeal.

I forgot about Tampa.  That's a game that would be buried at the 1PM slot or as the 2nd backup to the Dallas-Cleveland 4:25PM game.  Tampa Week 1 is interesting, but I hope it's a 4PM start, early September Tampa weather is brutal with the heat and humidity.

 

 

Arizona & Washington are two irrelevant teams at the moment.  The NFL would be doing us a solid by starting us off with an opponent that we have a pretty good chance to beat week 1.  I could also see the NFL doing us a favor by having us open up at home against Carolina.  The Falcons & Panthers games might be the only games on the home docket that will have a majority of Washington fans, so it would make sense to schedule us an opponent with a small travelling fan base like Carolina (just like they did with ARZ Week 1 last year).

I predicted Atlanta and Carolina as our first 2 games.

The nfl aren’t doing a game like that to open SNF.

Wonder if the former banned poster who works there has been let go?

I wouldn't be shocked if we play the Cowboys in the opener in one of the primetime slots. Daniels is generating a lot of national interest.

Nope. As already reported Cowboys @ Browns-4:25 pm game in Week 1, Tom Brady’s debut as broadcaster.
