    Dan's testimony about the Tiffani Johnston affair is mind-boggling. "I just know that the allegations are untrue, but I have no recollection of that evening." That's not even D-grade evasion, by Washington standards. What a doofus. He did exactly what his lawyers told him, even though none of it makes a lick of sense.

    That stuff about the PI at Bruce's house and the drones. Wow. You think it can't get any worse or any weirder, and it just keeps doing so. I have to admit I'm looking forward to reading all the stuff that will inevitably drop once Dan is gone. He's a loose cannon who has to be too much of a liability for the league to keep around, after all this. Jerry Jones might be an equally bad human being, but he's also savvy and collected. Dan comes off as a petty, vindictive twerp who unleashes the crazy whenever the mood suits him. There's too much money at stake for him to be allowed to stick around.

    Yeah, you can't do that to the other guys on the roster. If the team is winning enough games to stay in the race, he'd lose the locker room by making a change. If the O-line doesn't get any better than it was late in the game last week, it may not matter. They'll all get injured and Ron will be looking for someone on the fly.

    I have a feeling that playable QBs are going to be a hot commodity this offseason. Lots of really bad QB play all over this season. As for Mayfield, the Rams are just trying to get through the rest of the season and are almost where the Redskins were the year they signed Josh Johnson. Stafford is out and the second-stringer was being evaluated for injuries last week.

    Maybe Bezos's girlfriend woke him up at 2am and said "I REALLY love football, Jeff."

    If you can't think of anything good, go with alliterative value, I guess. Same as Pittsburgh Pirates and Penguins, basically.

    Trevor Lawrence is confirming that even more. The problem with tanking in the NFL is that, unlike the NBA, you can't build a championship roster around one super-duper-star and a bunch of scrubs. To tank enough to get in on the first three picks, the rest of your roster has to be so bad that you're not even going to be able to put the superstar QB in a position to succeed for 4-5 years, if that. You end up not in Ron Rivera/Jeff Fisher Purgatory, but in the lower level of Hell that teams like the Jets, Browns and Jaguars reside in every year. Note that the Jets climbed out this year because of everything BUT QB play. The Browns played about as well with Jacoby Brissett as they did last year with Baker Mayfield.

    I think Russell Wilson's almost-as-ridiculous contract may have done more than Watson's contract to make teams shy away from large guarantees. With Watson, you could claim that it was just the Browns being the Browns and doing something epically dumb. However, Wilson being guaranteed $165 million to not take the Broncos anywhere is a serious warning signal. The Broncos are stuck with him and that contract for three years while it eats away their cap, and he's completely untradeable now. I'm willing to buy the notion that what's going on is NOT collusion but also that the absence of large multiyear guarantees apart from those two could be taken as circumstantial evidence. It might also be signs of a return to sanity from the "cult of the quarterback." It's better for the league as a whole if more than just the 3-4 teams with elite HOF-type QBs are in the hunt for a Super Bowl.

    The last couple weeks, the average play-by-play on TV goes like this: "WOW, WHAT A GREAT STOP ON THIRD DOWN BY THE...commanders."

    The absence of such contracts in a cutthroat league with teams desperately hungry for QB talent is strong circumstantial evidence of collusion. And yes, it would violate the law. Silicon Valley tech firms got busted for something similar a few years ago when it turned out they had backroom deals not to poach each other's employees.
  11. profusion
    It's almost worse now. We've got a team that's suddenly interesting, and every time some TV personality says "Commanders," it lands with a dull thud. Having the Minnesota Golden Gophers' helmets but with an upside down logo doesn't help, either.

    Heinicke is basically the current version of Alex Smith. Doesn't win you the game, but he's getting better at not losing it either. With a dominant defense, that can be enough. However, Taylor's arm is so limited that I just don't see them going for a deep playoff run unless the running game can also become dominant. You saw that today several times in the red zone. They couldn't get it done when there was less room to maneuver for the underneath routes. He doesn't have the arm to do those precise fade routes you need in that situation.
  13. profusion
    Was he always this bad and just happened to play on an otherwise good Browns team? Or did he just lose it somehow?
  14. profusion
    Texans are awful, but Commanderskins trying their best to keep them in the game.

    I'm not getting a sense of how they got the "1".

    Damn, all that burgundy in the stands. Haven't seen that at FedEx Field in a long time.

    I don't like the blackout look generally, but the black jersey and helmet look better than the rest of the **** Tanya designed. Coupled with the white pants, it wouldn't be a bad look for a full-on rebrand that wasn't trying to stay connected to the Redskins and wasn't named "Commanders." For me, the similarity to the Steelers' look is the worst problem.

    No sense in trying to make sense of Dan Snyder.
  19. profusion
    The NFL doesn't have to let him get away with it, if that's the case. Anyway, he's going to need a lot of money to build a stadium. Probably more than a minority partner or two are going to be willing to put up. I'd guess that the stadium funds would approach the total value of the franchise. I'm not sure how Dan raises that much, since he's already in hock to the league and the local governments want nothing to do with him.
  20. profusion
    The only winners in Snyderland are the outside lawyers racking up those huge billables constantly defending this piece of garbage.
  21. profusion
    That's just unreal. I can only imagine how horrible it is to be Snyder's attorney. They're getting paid well, undoubtedly.
  22. profusion
    That's right. The only federal party that could put Snyder in jeopardy is the Justice Department. This committee investigation could only ever result in a referral to DOJ, which would then decide whether to act. It never got that far. Indirectly, the investigation uncovered and publicized new facts and allegations, so it provides the basis for civil lawsuits by other parties (including state governments). This uncovered information also made Snyder toxic and unable to get stadium funding. All of this has effectively required him to sell, which is the best we could have hoped for.

    This team now has a championship-caliber defense (yes, I said that) coupled with a sputtering, headscratcher of an offense. If they had even a medium-level QB on the roster, we'd be talking about bigger things than just making the playoffs. At this point, I can't even really fault Rivera for going with Wentz in the offseason. Turns out there weren't really any good options in the offseason. At least they're not stuck with Russell Wilson's enormous contract for years to come. Might as well roll with Heinicke for the rest of the season as long as they're mathematically alive for the playoffs. At least he gives them some energy and a chance most weeks.
  24. profusion
    The only thing I DO know about this situation right now is that they can't go back to Wentz. They just can't. Taylor is in no way the answer, but the offense just responds a little better with him despite all the wobbly throws.
  25. profusion
    Just not in those horrible black uniforms.
