    Because it's embarrassing now, but it's a coaches mess. If the owner fires Ron now, it's the owner's mess, and there isn't another coach on the team to begin to make it better.


    This is actually a sensible take. Josh needs a real GM to make all these decisions. We don’t quite have one yet. If there were a proper GM, then we could drop Rivera easily. Harris firing Rivera really comes off as Snyder-esque if it backfires and doesn’t work out.

  2. Some of you long timers might remember me, some might not, who knows.

     

    I haven’t really been following ES this season. For years following the Sean Taylor death when I found this place, it was the first page I’d open in the morning and the last page I’d close at night. I met lots of really, really nice people here and had many great discussions over the years.

     

    I watch this team these days so I can actively root against them. I don’t want to pick another team to cheer for so I just watch hoping that they will fall to even greater lows than the week before. I watch this joke of a franchise so I can laugh at how much Snyder has failed as a leader and as a businessman.

     

    This team isn’t the Redskins any longer and that great history that Snyder wants to tout died with the name for me. They’re celebrating a history that isn’t theirs to celebrate any longer. The colors are similar but not what I grew up loving. They’re like a dollar store, unlicensed Tecmo Bowl version of the Washington Redskins complete with players who I largely don’t care about.

     

    What’s there to root for? Nothing. Not a damn thing.

  3. I read somewhere else today that the assault weapons ban was easily skirted and that the Columbine shooters used weapons that were legally purchased.

     

    I assume that much is true so I think it’s safe to say that this current child killer would purchased his weapons legally as well. AWB wouldn’t have stopped this.

     

     

    Added: AWB is better than NOTHING however.

  4. First and foremost, you need to raise the age to purchase ANY firearms to 21.

     

    Nobody, except the men and women willing to die for this country, should own a firearm at 18. It won't start a civil war if you raise the age to purchase firearms.

     

    Then we can talk about restricting all semi automatic weapons later, which is another necessary step toward preventing these mass casualty events.

    One of the anchors on MSNBC started calling AR-15s "Weapons of War", great tagline guys. Now, Democrats, stick with that tagline. Whenever you say AR-15, I also want to hear "Weapon of War", got it. This is a layup, Dems. You can do this...probably not...


    An AR-15 serves no other purpose than to kill people. Not deer or turkey. People. Oh and they look ****ing cool as ****. Have fun waving your small dick around while you blast off your AR.

    All the blather about doors and budgets and defunding and mental health is all useless, NRA-approved talking points bull****.  It’s just thoughts & prayers gum-flapping with a slight gloss on it.
     

    We either find a way to make these sorts of terrible weapons/ammunition extremely difficult to get or the bodies of dead schoolchildren will continue to pile up…and accelerate.  it’s as simple as that.


    This post right here is pretty much the summary of the entire thread and the most poignant post in here. Thank you.
