It would be a very WFT thing to do to come out and **** the bed after a win like they just had.

That said, I can't help myself.  I feel positive here for some reason.  

WFT 24

Panthers 20

KCP with the steal. Jacks up wide open three that barely touches the rim

Stupid. And Neto has missed a few of those short jumpers.  These guys continue to try to take shots they haven’t hit all night. 

Tech on Gafford? **** off. 
 

Drew Gooden, **** off. Doesn’t know Major League. 

****ing ****, stop shooting threes!  John Starksing their way to a loss here that would have been completely unavoidable. 
 

Drive the lane and bang in the paint. Pick and rolls. Two man game. ****!

If I am WUJ, I’m threatening yank anyone off the floor and bench them

for the rest of the game if they hike up a three in the 4th.

I'll say it loudly and proudly...

 

US Attorney General William Barr had Jeffrey Epstein WHACKED under direct orders from President Donald J. Trump. I'm sure Bill Clinton was just as much at risk of any Epstein testimony but he wasn't POTUS at the time and Barr would never have done him any favors anyway. This was about keeping Donnie T safe. No way a spoiled, mega-rich guy with all that damning info commits suicide. He had too many cards to play and too grand a life to just check out. Especially since he didn't know the prison cameras were down right when he supposedly did it.

 

WHACKED.

It's a good day when you get to say someone was whacked.

Don't have to go off on a tangent.  Can just say that he died in prison.

Okay.  Would that make you feel better?

Either option 1 or 3.  Anything in between is probably pretty stupid.

2 weeks prior to the shooting he is allegedly heard on video fantasizing about shooting shoplifters.

 

That's the alleged premeditation.

I'd not heard that.

Does it even matter?

 

If it’s a matter of these 3 rioters dying or this other child dying then it’s self defense, no? Do you give up your right to defend yourself from death because you are apart of a riot?

What's your definition of self-defense, then?  I think if we're going to debate this, we should at least have a base-line understanding of what we're arguing about.  Let's set some goal-posts so we can't move them.

So if these three guys kill Rittenhouse instead then it’s ALSO self defense.

 

Correct?

I'd think so, if Rittenhouse was the one who initiated it.

The interpretation differs in that I believe he went down with a premeditative hope to play cop and was looking for any excuse to shoot someone. That’s my perception. That alone to me means anyone could have acted in self-defense against him the way he did. His mannerisms after bail showed a much more honest depiction of how emotionally distraught he was versus the theatrics of what he brought to the courtroom. The kid is a psychopath and his history prior has shown enough of a pattern that no one should be surprised he’s in this position. He’ll undoubtedly get off but if you truly feel he went down there to keep things calm and orderly then you may as well chip in for that giant bronze statue they’ll probably built for him in Kenosha for being a hero.

I understand that's your perception, but where's the evidence that was his motive?  One of the people he shot had a gun, does that automatically mean he was there looking for an excuse to shoot someone?

Or do we just want to talk ourselves into thinking he was there to shoot someone because he looks like a little prick and we don't like him?

In regards to his post bail mannerisms, we're in agreement there.

I mean, what'd you expect?  That was the official cause of what took place.  No one believes it, but they're not going to go off on a tangent that says "After disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide behind bars - but let's be real here, everyone thinks he was whacked - ....

Finally this **** is on trial.

Wow, depressing thread. Some names I completely forgot about. Paul Richardson, Jason Taylor, Terelle Pryor, Brandon Llyod.....what a waste of money.

I thought about Taylor and Lloyd, but those guys were acquired in trades.  I think you could definitely do a top 10 worst trade returns, too.

Richardson is a really good one I missed, he was ****ing invisible while he was here.

Best thing is that they had two weeks and didn't **** off with it.  How many times have we seen a WFT team come out of a bye and look like absolute ****?  And we're all on here like YOU HAD TWO WEEKS THIS IS THE BEST YOU COULD DO????

They had two weeks and obviously worked hard, prepared well, came out with a plan and stepped up and smacked the **** out of the Bucs.  And they had two weeks, too.  Props to the coaching staff.

Imma just point out that we only got a Quarter out of Fitz. We got more outta Alex Smith & his six million dollar leg when everyone thought he was done.

 

 

I thought about Fitzy for a second but he's only here for a year.

Brandon Lloyd comes to mind. 

He was a trade. I thought he was a free agent, too. 
 

Still disappointing for sure though.

This post is exhausting.

You'll get over it.  Tacos on me next time.

I do feel bad for him, this sucks.  

The Fed Ex Turf Monster is real.  

I was texting with the homie @TryTheBeal!earlier today before the BIG WIN AGAINST TOM BRADY AND TAMPA BAY TODAY and he was wondering if Curtis Samuel is a real person.  I'm convinced he is, he just has groin area that's weaker than wet toilet paper. 

That got me wondering, where does he rank on the list of free agent busts in the Snyder Era?  Can he crack a list of vaunted high priced failures?

I've been sitting here for 10 minutes and I'm not sure where to start.  But here we go.  Feel free to rank your own and add commentary.

1.  Haynesworth.  I was thinking who to put at the top of this list and I knew there was someone obvious that I was forgetting.  And then I remembered him and was upset at myself for remembering him because sometimes it's better to forget and this is one of those times. 

****, he was bad.  And his attitude was worse.  **** Albert Haynesworth in the neck.

2.  Deion Sanders.  The thing is, I don't remember him being that terrible, he had 4 interceptions.  Statistically he was alright.  Never known for being a physical corner before landing here, I think he got even softer in Washington as he was getting closer to retirement.  I remember him getting dragged by someone he was trying to tackle which was really embarrassing and of course him having that punt bounce of his facemask was stupid, too.  

He's even got a highlight reel for his time in Washington on YouTube.  Won't let me display it here but click and watch it, it's pretty fun and surprising.

Then he retired which of course I remember but I forgot why.  Basically, he didn't want to play for Marty.  https://www.si.com/nfl/washingtonfootball/news/ol-rickys-redskins-tales-deion-sanders

Then he came back a few years later and played well for Baltimore.  I don't think he was terrible while he was here on the field but his abrupt retirement made anyone easily forget any good he did.  

3.  Jeff George.  I don't think the years or the dollar amount were completely awful, but he was.  Like Deion, he was brought here towards the end of his career, but unlike Deion he was never all that good to begin with.  Another guy with a ****ty attitude.

What I didn't remember about this is that Dennis "THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE" Green in Minnesota apparently told him to look around to see if he could get a starting job somewhere else.  Apparently the entire league passed on the opportunity to sign him and then Minnesota offered him a base salary of $400k with a total contract value of $1.4 million after incentives.  

Then Danny came in and decided to bid against practically no one else and offered him 4 years/$14.8 million.  He backed up Brad Johnson and then after Johnson left he clashed with Marty and proceeded to **** the bed and roll around in it.  He was released after a blowout loss to Green Bay, 37-0.  Tony Banks came in and performed admirably enough to finish the season at 8-8 after the 0-5 start.  

4.  Mike Barrow.  This list will contain some bigger, more memorable names but in doing a bit of research for this to make sure I didn't leave off any glaring omissions, I came across Mike Barrow.  I actually did forget about this loser because he wasn't so terribly memorable like Haynesworth.

Barrow was signed after his age 33 season to a SIX YEAR contract worth somewhere between $11 and $15 million, essentially moving Jeremiah Trotter back to Philly where he'd play at a Pro-Bowl level.  

Barrow never not once suited up for a game in a Redskins jersey.  Here's an old article that hasn't aged well at all in some respects:  https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/244379/the-mike-barrow-era/  

Quote

And he wasn’t ready for practice the following Monday, either. But there he was, listed as questionable for the season’s second game, against his old team, the Giants. Again, he wasn’t in uniform at kickoff. The ritual played out again against Dallas. And again and again. In one of the most bizarre chapters in Redskins injury history, every week became Groundhog Week for Barrow and the team. He’d sit out all practices, be listed as questionable, and then be declared out on Sunday—a “game-day scratch” in league parlance. It was as if management was keeping a spot on the roster for Barrow in hopes that his knee would be cured by some miracle, à la the Rev. Reggie White and the torn hamstring that White always claimed was repaired through divine intervention.

 

By the time the Redskins stopped the madness by putting him on the league’s injured reserve list, thereby ending his season, during Thanksgiving week, Barrow had as many scratches as Siegfried’s Roy.

Yet he’s still on the team. Even though he’s still not healthy: Barrow’s been excused from the Redskins recent organized team activities (OTAs), the allegedly voluntary workouts that every player must attend or face public ridicule, to seek help from a sports therapist in Arizona.

Part of me thinks I could very easily rank Barrow higher.  At least the three guys ahead of him suited up and played some.

5.  Adam Archuleta.  Do you remember that Danny made this guy the HIGHEST PAID SAFETY IN HISTORY?  Danny gave Archuleta a 6 year/30 million dollar deal back in 2006.  

It was around that time that I started logging into ExtremeSkins and being a part of this community.  People here were ****ing CISED (yes, I said cised) that we got Archuleta.  He was physical freak, he put up some good stats with the Rams and it looked like we were going to get a guy entering the prime of his career.  Also, his wife was a complete smokeshow.  

He was ****ing terrible.  We traded him to the Bears after his only season here for a 6th round pick.  He played one year for the Bears, was released and couldn't make it out of camp in 2008 with the Raiders.  Last time I saw this guy he was broadcasting one of our games a few years ago which means he was, like, on the CBS D team for broadcasting games.  

6.  Josh Norman.  Once again, Danny made someone the highest paid player ever at their position, parlaying a monster 2015 season in Carolina into a 5 year $75 million dollar deal for a cornerback.  

Norman's tenure in Washington started decently enough, although I don't think anyone here would agree that he was worth what he was being paid at any time while he was here.  He did play hard, but that was marred by weird **** like announcing that he was going to join the broadcast crew for Fox's NFL studio show during the season.  He was just a weird, quirky guy overall who's skills slowly eroded year by year while he was here.  Quite frankly, I'm surprised he's still in the league.

7.  Antwaan Randle El.  11 touchdowns over 4 seasons for $31 million.  Never really seemed to be the game-breaker guy who could play different positions and give defenses nightmares.  Never caught more than 728 yards in a season here, never caught more than 53 passes in a season.  Super nice guy, everyone loved him but he didn't produce.

8.  Bruce Smith.  More focused on chasing down Reggie White's sack record, something that seemed like a huge deal at the time but no one gives a **** about anymore.  Danny just had to sign him when he was 36 years old for a 5 year deal.  He played 4 years of the deal, registered 29 sacks and got Reggie's record, while pretty much pissing off everyone who had to play.  This was the era in which Danny just had to throw money at big names who were past their prime.  It was the year Deion Sanders and Mark Carrier were signed, too.  

The sack record was selfish, but I also kind of understand a guy who ended up losing 4 Super Bowls in Buffalo wanting to win something.  But what did anyone expect from someone who was 36 and had already played 15 years?  

9.  Jeremiah Trotter.  Before arriving in Philly, Trotter was an All-Pro linebacker in Philly.  The Redskins released him after two seasons into a 7 year, $36 million contract.  He promptly went back to Philly and made two more Pro Bowls.

10.  Curtis Samuel.  Yeah, I put The Groin on here but this is more of a prediction than anything.  He narrowly beat out Landon Collins.

But I'm sure I've missed out on some guys you'd put on your list.  Or didn't rank someone high enough/low enough.  

What's your list look like?

I'm surprised no one's complained that he couldn't get it done when it counted against Brady in the playoffs last year but he just ****ed us on draft positioning in a relatively meaningless game.

If he can keeps it up like this. He'll be good to go to me for a few more years.

 

That's the big question now. Can he sustains this kind of play on any given sunday?

Probably not.  And that's okay, he'll still be able to hold a clipboard and play every once in awhile and make enough money to change his family's fortune.

I'm aware he's no more than a backup.  I'm well aware that he's been bad in big parts of this season.

But today everyone should be able to tip their cap to him and say that he played a hell of a game.  Dude's going to be able to tell his grandkids that he beat Brady and that's awesome.

I think if Vea got in better shape he wouldn't have as many injuries, he's carrying too much fat.

And I don't wanna hear any ****ing bull**** this week from the media about how Tampa lost this game.  

Tampa got slapped right in the mouth today.  We dominated this game from the jump in the time of possession department and shoved it right down their throat at the very end.  The WFT exorcised the will to win today, make no mistake.  

And all ****ing week we're gonna have to hear about Tampa and Brady and what they're gonna do next.  No ones gonna give us our propers.
