  1. One thing I wonder about, why we did not keep the Redskins font?  We all know the familiar look of that REDSKINS in the end zones.  When they change to the name that shall not be said, they changed the font with the rebrand.  One thing Cleveland did, one of many things they did better than Snyder's clown show effort, was keep the font or typeface of the Indians.  Now, they are undergoing more changes as of late.  However, all NFL teams have that recognized typeface with their team.  I will never like the C name but had they kept the right colors and the familiar Redskins font, might have made it a bit more familiar.  I guess it really changed when they went to Washington Football Team, but will have to google the pics and see.  

     

    I bring it up because the Commanders font and the typography that El Mexican mentioned, just brings more attention to it.  They know it sucks and to their credit, they seem like they are trying to improve it but hard to improve on something nobody likes at the start.

  2. I like and root for Ron Rivera the person but as a coach?  Geez Louise!  Really?  There is a trait that some great head coaches have in spades and it is humility. 

    Gibbs for one.

    Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it and doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of idiocy.

    Actually enjoying this offseason and counting down to training camp.  It's refreshing.

  3. I love Riggo and I guess given the NFL no longer restricts the numbers by position and the fact the NFL rarely utilizes a fullback, you could retire 44 and 81.  Honestly, I feel like those are the only numbers worth considering.  They are already in the ring. we have to remember what retiring means, nobody will wear that number again, you need at least 69 numbers, although only 48 active on game day, 53 on roster, 16 on practice squad.  So, even with Riggo and Monk, you got 92 numbers left to choose from.

  4. This was so well done. 

     

    Now mind you, everything decent to us is foreign and new since the previous regime jaded us into oblivion but the video, the strategy and everything, it had more to it than the pathetic rebranding effort by those who's name will no longer be spoken.

     

    And I love Riggo, Monk and Joey T. but I feel like this is the one you retire to represent the longevity, decency and level of excellence of Green and that era.

  5. Spot on Conn but now the group is stuck in an awkward position.

     

    Leave the current abomination up.

    Take the current abomination down - which will come with a lot of backlash.

    Rectify the situation with the a more apropos statue or tribute to replace it. 

    Does not have to be along the same lines as Kobe but that mannequin thing has to be fixed.

  6. So Washington...here we are lined up for a great draft position as our Christmas present but somehow they will screw this up and leave us a turd in our stocking meaning, they will win.  Please before somebody goes on the whole "they are professionals and want to win diatribe"  yeah, I know, we get it, I am 53 and have heard it all before.  We are fans and we want them to lose but not look as incompetent as they have been doing it.

     

    13 - 10 Commies win, Jets lose and the television viewing public that has this game in their market, also loses.

       No one said to build him a statue. He has been about a 500 coach. With everything that has been going on with this organization during the Snyder years  that is not bad. 

     It sounds like at the end of year Harris will bring in his own people which is good. Whem Harris bought the team it was to late in the offseason to make major changes.

      The changes are coming at the end of the year. If he going to retire at the end of the year anyway they might as well let him finish the season.

    Agree, he did bring a level of respectability and the perception to media and the rest of the league, that at least there was one adult in the room.  I would like to drink a beer or two with Jay Gruden but the perception of the team on his watch was worse.  At least there seemed like there was/is a plan and some direction, a lot of plans and direction don't work out.  This seems to be the case but it's not the absolute farce it was a few years ago, at least in my untrained eyes.

    I watched some of the pregame on Amazon last night and all of the commentators picked Washington to win except Fitzpatrick.  At the time

    I thought he was nuts but it turns out he knows his former team well.

    Yep!  The one guy with insight to that locker room.  Still a lot of carry over from last year.  Who are the leaders on this team?
