  1. Boring name. Washington Football Team sounded better. I thought that sounded boring two years ago. Time will tell how this name sticks. It does seem sad to lose the Redskins but change was inevitable. I'm too old now to be excited about the new name one way or another. 18 years ago when I first joined this site, I soaked up anything Redskins. Burgold, I was there with the names you mentioned. It indeed was a different community then. Ultimately, winning cures everything and that is what I hope happens soon.
  2. I would be interested in joining, depending on the date/time.
  3. Taking draft picks for on field transgressions (bounty, spy) makes sense. Taking them for front office transgressions doesn't make sense. The players aren't the named persons here. That being said, fining Snyder even a couple million is nothing to him. Forcing him to hire proper HR and some female execs makes sense, but still doesn't punish Snyder. The only thing I can think of is that it has to punish him financially on a large scale. In college, they will usually cancel bowl eligibility. With how putrid our team is, that doesn't really matter. Maybe taking all gameday profits for a few games would work, inclusive of revenue sharing and whatnot? I dunno but taking the draft picks doesn't make sense and doesn't really punish Snyder.
  4. I'm late myself on this. People are actively trying to go after Thomas Jefferson already. If Jefferson goes, so does George Washington and any other slave owner of the founding fathers group. I don't think they will be held to a different standard to those who want change and are protesting. Some will point out that the Confederates were traitors to the US, which is true. However, could it be argued that the founding fathers were traitors to England who established the colonies? I'm not sure how people will draw the line. Personally, the confederate statues should go down and moved to the battlefields and numerous civil war museums. Washington and Jefferson should remain. Whether my opinion matters or not is a different question.
  5. You posted what I planned to post. To add, there always seems to be some great prospect every year. Some pan out, some do not. You all mentioned Peppers, Mario Williams, Myles Garrett, Clowney, the Bosas, Von Miller. What about JJ Watt, also good. Further, remember Vernon Gholston? People look at the draft and think of hope and promises compared to actual production. That is fine as I still believe you build through the draft. When you have as many holes as we do, however, you need to see if your good pick can be turned into more picks. If we do land Ron Rivera, we know that he is a competent, defensive minded coach. We are not one player away from the Super Bowl and we have competent rushers in Kerrigan, Sweat, Anderson. OL, CB, TE, those should be the focus.
  6. Seems like more of the same from this organization. So much for them acknowledging there is no wait list and announcing an enhanced fan experience. I understand they don't want to send you paper tickets if you already sold some electronically; unsavory people can sell their seat twice and cause a load of issues. However, they should still send the ticket box out with all the promotional items as one poster mentioned.
  7. Definitely a lot of things. Do a Game of Thrones tour though not with one of the big groups. There are small companies, often with guides who were extras in the show. We had a private tour and it was worth it.
  8. I think something can be said about how Germany has stamped down any reference to Hitler and the Nazi's. You don't see tributes to those leaders of the Nazi party around Germany. You do however see the preserved concentration and death camps showing how horrible they were. Similarly, the people whose ancestors suffered the most due to slavery (mostly African Americans) may not want to see these statues up either. Me being a US born person of South Asian (India) descent, the History fan in me thinks there is something to be said of educating and informing people about the Civil War and the lives of the soldiers and leaders on both sides. Many military innovations came about during the war and some fine strategists and tacticians on both sides played a part. Shouldn't families be allowed to honor their ancestors who died in a truly horrific war? Just like we cannot classify all German soldiers as Nazi's, can we classify all Confederate soldiers as racists? Also, where does it end? Jefferson, Washington, and others had slaves. Are they next? Will we rename Washington DC in due time? But being a history fan, what difference does it make in the end to keep these types of statues up? What benefit is it really bringing? I think at this point we do need to take a page from Germany and, legally and safely (not in protest like that Durham video shows), remove the Confederate statues. Move them to battlefields or museums to at least preserve and teach the history so others don't forget. We, as a country, should not try to honor the wrongs of the past.
  9. This joke is one of the things that still keeps some of us together! Paloffs will never get old!
  10. The pre-merger days were definitely interesting. Seemd more close-knit at the time. Then again, many have come and gone, but there has been a solid group since 2004 when I joined. I think I'm number 8296.
  11. so there are PM's going out with ways to stream the game? Someone please help me out!
  12. thanks for posting, this is great. As if I needed to be any more pumped up!
  13. This is actually is a legit question. Gibbs, as well as Parcells, were known for wearing white at home where most teams use colors. It is not an NFL standard to wear the darker jersey at home though. I am actually kinda curious as well as to whether we will shift to burgundy on white at home now with a new head coach, and I'm hoping we do. To the original poster, you probably could have found your answer in the "fashion thread" or whatever in the stadium. I think we may have covered it before, but it'd be hard to do a search for a topic that was probably merged into the fashion police thread.
  14. I'd rather have burgundy home jerseys. As mentioned, Gibbs wanted white at home, but I think it's time we return to burgundy for home with a new regime and all.
  15. Yeah, that is kind of sketch. Posting on wikipedia first before authorities even knew. I wonder if the person who posted it will win a Darwin award or something for stupidity.
