Because politics is like sports, or more appropriately, like the WWE. It’s all a show, and you’re fully supporting your side (either D or R). Trump supporters will never back down from their stance or admit that they were wrong. Why would they? They hate the other side, just like they’re convinced the other side hates them, and they’re never going to give the libs the satisfaction.

We laugh, but unfortunately it does make sense to have the number retirement ceremony against the Panthers or the Falcons. We want the crowd to be a majority of home fans, and those are likely the only two games where that will be the case. You can’t have that ceremony at home against the Steelers, Bears, or any other NFCE home game, because you run the risk of the crowd being an overwhelming majority of away fans, and it’s just sad and embarrassing to hold that ceremony in front of a hostile crowd.

That’s not happening, ESPECIALLY if the ceremony is late in the season, and the Cowboys are competing for the NFCE, while we are out of the playoff hunt and trying to play spoiler. There would be at least 70-80% Cowboys fans in the stands if that were to occur. The perfect time to have that ceremony is early on in the season against a team like Atlanta or Carolina. The Falcons & Panthers games will probably be the only games they play at home with a majority of the crowd being home fans, so it would make sense to have a majority home crowd for that ceremony.

I would definitely NOT do the Green Retirement Ceremony at a division home game nor would I do it on the dates that we play the Steelers and Browns at home. I would wait to have it for when we play an NFC South team like the Falcons or the Panthers. I would've put Cleveland on the docket, but they only come here once every 8 years, and they're a good team now, so I'm sure a ton of their fans will make the trek to Landover to see them play. The truth is that until we get good again (or move to a new stadium), the field formerly known as Fed-Ex is always going to be overrun with opposing fans of large market teams or popular team fanbases (Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers, Eagles, etc). I would hold off on doing any retirement ceremonies if one of those teams is scheduled to come to Landover.

ESPN isn't going anywhere, unfortunately. They negotiated early (something that TNT did not do), and are reportedly getting the "A" package, which means that they'll air games on one weeknight, conference finals and ALL NBA Finals until the end of the new deal in 2035. No other partner has the NBA Finals in their package, but ESPN does, so we'll be dealing with Stephen A, Perk and Wilbon for more years to come unfortunately.

Don't know where to put this, but there are reports that the new NBA TV deal that will begin for the 2025 season will have ESPN, Amazon, and NBC as partners, with TNT reportedly out. This is significant, because the NBA has aired games on Turner for close to 40 years now, and the fact that we could potentially be seeing Inside The NBA for a final season next year is jarring. I'm glad the NBA on NBC will be back, but it's bittersweet that it could come at the expense of the greatest sports show on TV today.

The Stolen Doc Trial is federal (along with the Jan 6 case). If Trump's elected, all he has to do when appointed is shut down the investigation, pardon himself and that's that. There's nothing the judicial system can do to him if he's elected. That won't be the case for the state cases against him, but that won't matter if he' elected to office. The GA case will also face significant delays as of this morning's report, so Trump might skate by completely in time for the election.

The impeachment conviction was NEVER going to happen. The GOP would never make it impossible for Trump to run again. The GOP is the GOP, so we already know what they're about and what they stand for. I specifically blame Garland for sitting on his hands for 2 years, and making it next to impossible to get a fair trial on Trump with conviction before 2024. Anyone that knows Trump knows that he likes to delay as much as humanly possible. The DOJ should know by now how he operates, and been better prepared. We've had a lifetime of evidence that states that he drags and delays everything. The moment Garland was sworn in in 2021, he should've had a goal to get an investigation going with a target date of indictment by 2022. The whole point is to not let Trump get to the Repub Primaries by Fall of 2023 as a legitimate candidate being the gigantic national security threat that he is. The DOJ was too late with the trigger, and we all could be paying the cost of that with a possible Trump win in November.

This is on Merrick Garland 100%. If he wasn't such a weak, ineffective AG, this investigation & trial would've happened much earlier and had been concluded by now. By dragging his feet on this, Garland basically gave Trump a get out of jail free card on this case (which is the most serious of all his other trials and the easiest to prove as well). IF Trump wins in November, Garland might go down as the worst AG of all time, and I don't think I'm exaggerating on that distinction. By being so cowardly and meek, he essentially could be responsible for Trump netting a 2nd term and avoiding prison time all together.

Now that we have Daniels at QB, I do think that he will be enough to get us an MNF appearance or two. I now predict that we'll have 2 MNF games and 1 TNF game. I still think that we will get shutout of SNF, and that we will not have a 4:25PM National Doubleheader feature game.

This, I might stay away from the Draft thread, it might rival the absolute worst that we’ve seen in gameday threads.

This. Derek Carr (for all the grief he's gotten as a pro) has had a couple of pro bowl seasons, and a couple of playoff appearances. Maye wishes to have that type of career if he's lucky someday. Being compared to a QB that's won 12 games in a season and has thrown for over 4,000 yds in at least 4 seasons is NOTHING to sneeze at. These Maye stans are starting to get ridiculous. He's not going to be a Justin Herbert clone (just like Jayden Daniels is not going to be a Lamar Jackson clone).

This. If most of the pundits (even the credible ones) are leaning Daniels over Maye, I think I'd rather listen to them over this fan base 10 out of 10. I'm not going to be shattered like certain people here will be if we end up drafting Maye, but it's funny to see how this board is so Pro-Maye despite all evidence pointing to Daniels likely being drafted at 2. Let's just try to support whoever we draft for God's sake, and not wish cast doom or predict boom-bust scenarios for Daniels if he ends up being the pick.

This fan base is very toxic, I'm in disbelief of what I hear regarding both QBs, whether it be this forum or online in general. How can any of you be so sure that whoever we draft is destined to fail and that the coaches will be fired within 3 years? I think a LOT of our fans need to step away from the ledge, get some xanax or mary jane in them or something, and leave the drama alone.

LOL, 100% right. If any team were to end up with the #1 pick in a historically bad draft, it would be the Wizards. This team will be just as bad record wise next year, but of course there’s no guarantee that they’ll end up with the #1 pick, especially if they get the #1 pick for THIS year’s draft.

Honestly, who the **** cares where they finish in this upcoming draft lottery? This draft is so terrible, that they actually might get a player at 5, who will be a better player than who ever gets drafted at 1 or 2. This isn't last year, where if you weren't picking Top 2 (or at #1), then you were crushed. This draft is is all time bad, so who ever they draft might end up being not more than a role player at best. Next year's draft is where you will start to worry where they finish record wise.

That probably had a lot to do with it too. Pittsburgh might be the only other primetime game we get besides the Bears or maybe the Cowboys/Eagles.

This draft is all time bad, even with those two Duke players declaring. This draft class is incredibly sad, and it’s hilarious that this stupid as **** team decided that they should start their tank job NOW, instead of last season or the season before. The Bradley Beal deal will be the most devastating move this franchise has or will make for at least a decade. If they had smartened up and had cut their losses and not resigned that bum, their future would look a whole lot rosier. Ted Leonsis is the dumbest billionaire alive, and the worst owner in sports currently. Only the Oakland A’s owner might have an argument for being worse.

I forgot about the fact that we play the AFC North this year, so we might have a possible MNF game against the Steelers. The last two times we’ve faced them at home, it’s been on MNF.

Yes, I could see Caleb Williams Vs. Jayden Daniels (or Drake Maye) being a TNF game. Other than a possible Cowboys game on MNF, I foresee LOTS of 1PM games for us this season.

It usually doesn't happen like this. Rookie QB's are never prominently featured in primetime, unless the team they go to is already a popular franchise (Steelers, Cowboys, Packers, etc), Jayden Daniels won't move the needle like that in any way for this team. We're going to have to win and win often out of the gate to earn primetime games later in the season or primetime games for next season. Washington is too lowly a franchise to be featured in primetime, just because they drafted a Heisman-winning QB. We'll get a default primetime game on a Thursday night or maybe a MNF game against the Cowboys, but that's all we will get. This franchise doesn't move the needle enough to be given primetime games. Our glory years were a long time ago.

We really don't deserve any primetime games, except for the random TNF game against the Bears (or Bucs). We're not good enough for SNF, and I doubt that we're even good enough for MNF, now that it's gotten a better slate of games the last few years, and also for the fact that we have a new coach, and a rookie QB. I'd argue that we have the most anonymous, least well known roster in the league outside Carolina or New England. We don't have the star power or the cache to attract any primetime/feature games, except for when we play the NFC East. I might buy us getting a pity MNF game against the Cowboys or Eagles, but that's all we get. So, I predict 1 MNF game, 1 TNF game, no main 4:25PM games on FOX or CBS and no SNF.

In a draft that many are labeling as the worst draft in modern history. The Wizards really are a joke in every possible way. They picked the wrong year to start tanking. Should’ve begun the tanking process last year, might’ve ended up with Wemby, or any player that ended up being drafted in the top 5. No player in this years draft comes close to anyone that was drafted last year. The Wizards will have to be this bad (or worse) next year, since next years draft will have better prospects.

Am I the only one that absolutely HATES the stupid block W hats the team has worn at home the last few years? Go back to the Curly W hats at home. The block W hats are UGLY, and no one would buy that hat over the traditional Curly W hats. Whoever is in charge of their uniforms needs their ass beat.

Unfortunately, it's real simple. He was able to con and scheme his way into owning a record label at the age of 23, so he's been untouchable for 3 decades. Once he got that $10 Million in funding from Clive Davis to fund Bad Boy Records, the rest was history. It also doesn't help to have the Hollywood Black Godfather helping you whenever you need to get out of a jam. Clarence Avant was a HUGE part of helping to shield Diddy from potential legal troubles and woes for years. When he died last summer, Diddy lost the only person keeping him from facing accountability one day. It's no surprise that Cassie's lawsuit dropped almost immediately after Avant's death. If you don't know who Clarence Avant is, look him up, or watch that Doc on Netflix about him (Diddy is in that Documentary).
