Mmm, that’s a tasty Cooley quote.

Did anyone else who watched the Ron + Kyle post-draft video on redskins.com catch the ripper of a fart at about 17:45? The camera cuts to the offender because the noise triggered it, but he plays it off like it wasn’t him. Hilarious!

Let’s goooooooo!

The Schrutes can't be beet!

Yes, of course. I was speaking more to the irrationality of making definitive statements about who should start week 1 without having seeing any training camp nor preseason. Again, I get it. I’m just bustin’ chops, more than anything. But you certainly won’t see me making any proclamations about week 1 starters in the next couple of weeks! I can totally see talking about who you want to win the job and why, but to say XX should definitely start week 1 over YY based on the evidence that we have thus far seems premature, at best.

I know it’s the off-season and a message board, but could we try to refrain from making decisions about who we think should start week 1 until training camp has started and, ideally, a couple of preseason games have happened?

Well, looking at the Twitter feed of the guy who 'broke' the RUMOR, I wouldn't feel comfortable yet in saying that the Lions are the definitive pick. I'll still wait and hope (and probably eventually be disappointed again, as per the usual as a Skins fan).

How do you mean PR-wise? HBO isn't going to send out a product that trashes the organization they cover - that'll ensure that they never get to do Hard Knocks again. It's not like teams that are on Hard Knocks get put through the ringer by the media/fans. If anything, I'd say that it draws in potential new fans.

Why do you think it's such a bad idea? A distraction? Most cameras aren't "in your face" types around the facilities - the players will hardly notice a difference in their daily activities. These are professional athletes playing at the highest level. If they can't handle minimal intrusion into their preseason routine for a few weeks, then they suck as a professional. As a fan, who wouldn't love a peek inside the franchise?! Enjoy the show!

Well Mahomes had a year on the bench but the point still stands. Well said.

Why do you say this?

Giants are out. That leaves us, Raiders, & Lions... I hope we get picked. I love Hard Knocks and it would be awesome to get that inside look at the team!

With all of the injuries last year, does anyone know if we brought back the same strength and conditioning team or anyone new? It seems that a lot of teams are very much into some of the holistic health approach (yoga, dietitians, etc.) these days. Do the Skins have anything like that on their staff?

i closed out safari and then reopened and it seems like it may work now... i see the NFL shield with the "we'll be right back" message..

Anyone else just getting buffering from zunox? Or have a good link that works?
