    Goodell and Pash probably think they can just make this go away by sending out enough pablum until the news cycle moves on. It'll be up to Congress on how far they want to take this. Of course, Snyder is going to be a continuing problem for the other owners long after this is forgotten, if they let him stick around. He's a liability. I'm sure the news media wants in on the action, but somebody on the inside will have to be willing to feed them more information for that to amount anything.

    I dunno, it seems kind of on-brand for Danny Boy. As for the Bruce emails supposedly not being part of the Wilkinson investigation, that makes sense if you think about it. Her first priority would have been to interview everyone involved (who was willing to talk) and get the basic story. It was so atrocious that she probably wouldn't have had to go further. This wasn't done in connection with litigation, where you'd have that level of detail, and I doubt her clients (the NFL and Dan himself) wanted her to go fishing in those murky waters. If anyone's corporate emails would have been searched, it would have those of the women involved, in an effort to discredit them. Now, Bruce's emails are VERY pertinent to the litigation he's involved with, all of which also includes Dan. Not hard to connect those dots. The league DID have the Bruce emails eventually, though, since they turned them over to Mark Davis shortly before the story broke. A lot of angles on this one.

    So, Tanya seems to be down with the damn good culture.

    He's one of the richest owners (married into Walmart money), so I doubt he's hurting. Someone on Twitter commented that this sort of thing is Kroenke's MO. I remember that he seemed like a real piece of work in the pieces written about him back when the Rams were terrible and when they first moved to L.A., but the Rams' on-field success in recent years has taken the focus away from him. None of this applies to Snyder, per se, but it certainly provides context. The NFL is starting to look like La Cosa Nostra...with Danny Boy playing the role of Fredo, of course.

    Denver 24 Washington 10 Denver's not very good, but probably good enough to win against this bunch.

    No more castoffs. Draft a guy and develop him. And somebody please find a way to isolate Dan on draft day.

    Based on that Seth Wickersham article, the league has a much bigger problem than Snyder when it comes to the St. Louis lawsuit. Jones and Kroenke really effed that one up, and the other owners are paying the price. For those who don't want to read the article, Kroenke is now threatening to stop indemnifying the other owners over their legal fees in the lawsuit (which is against a number of them personally in addition to the league), and apparently some owners are incurring fees in the eight figures over it. John Mara apparently complained that he and others wouldn't have voted for the move if they'd known that Kroenke would bail out on his end of the deal. Real gang of upright citizens, there. As for Snyder, I reiterate that he's a slippery little rodent. Gonna be tough to rid our house of him.

    Congress can't really do anything on its own against the NFL except pass legislation. Any contempt charges or such would have to be referred to the DOJ. This isn't going to get anywhere near that level. More likely is that the media continues to get its hands on these emails for years to come, whenever it benefits someone with access to them. The information will get out there, eventually. And, of course, all it takes is one disgruntled employee with the requisite access to make it all public. That amazing list of malfeasance in the Damn Snyder twitter thread shows that he's not just another garden-variety jerk. I'm struggling to think of any team owner in any sport who was that bad for that long. Donald Sterling was probably the closest, but I don't think even he managed to be as bad--his biggest sin for most of his tenure was just being really cheap. The situation with Snyder is NOT normal, and the NFL might be advised to start making sure people know that. Right now, it looks like they're trying to protect him as just another average member of the club.

    As callous as it is to say this, I don't think it's serial sexual harassment or even assault in Ashburn that the NFL is this obviously concerned about. If it was "just" that, then they'd hang Snyder out to dry and be done with it as soon as the news cycle moves on. Whatever it is has to implicate a bunch of powerful people across the league. Now, it could be as simple as more widespread Gruden-type "saying naughty things" stuff that would cause a bunch of cancel culture firings. Maybe the league doesn't want that to happen to that extent or all at once. However, if there's actual malfeasance involved or hinted at, since as cheating, doping, behind-the-scenes manipulation of games, etc., then you can see why the league would be sweating. Since Bruce apparently felt willing to vomit the entire contents of his mind into his email correspondence, one can only guess at what a treasure trove these emails would be for an enterprising (i.e., non-ESPN) reporter.

    Danny Boy's going to drag the entire NFL down into the mudpit with him. Whatever the league is hiding, it's going to come out sooner or later.

    Does the team have a QB on the practice squad or who didn't make the trip? That could be interesting if both Heinecke and Allen get the 'rona.

    He's likely going to be litigating in some forum over the remaining money due on his contract. No sense in giving up negotiating leverage for no good reason. Chucky might be horrible at running a football team, but he's not stupid. As for the Bezos thing, he could have had a team well before now if he'd wanted one. He doesn't strike me as a big sports guy, and it's not like he needs the money or more prestige. He could write a check for the entire league if he wanted.

    After yesterday's excruciating loss, I may be about ready to take a vacation from this miserable franchise for a while. I'm not going to go become a Ravens fan or whatever, but it's just getting harder to put myself through the on-field and off-field sadness surrounding this organization. Probably better to spend my Sundays a different way and see what happens. I'll probably pop in here for a few laughs periodically even if I get away from the games.

    Welp, I got a bathroom that ain't going to clean itself, and it's starting to look like a good alternative activity....

    We talk about Riverboat Ron and all that, but if we'd kicked two chipshot FGs on the last two possessions, we'd be within one possession right now. Just sayin'. Not that it'd matter...

    unbelievable. That's all I've got.

    I can't post the words that are on my mind right now.

    His "intention"? What kind of nonsense is that? He wasn't touched and was clearly diving for the goal. It would be so WFT 2021 for this to be called back on something like that.

    Some other team missed a tackle, for a change. Nice.

    Is it okay to complain about high throws again?
  22. profusion
    I didn't really see the PI there, but I'll take it. Hope Dyami is okay.

    Looked like Gibson could have bounced that outside for a better gain, but maybe I missed something.
  24. profusion
    Hey, now that's the defense we've wanted to see all season. Good job.
  25. profusion
    Oh my goodness, was that an actual impressive WFT drive? Who are these guys?
