The continued obsession with our uni's never fails to amuse me.
They can play in their jocks Sunday for all I care so long as they win.
Hail.
Umm yeah. If it ever comes to that, I'm gonna just start following the game alerts on my phone.

Having broken more than a few boards in my life, that was genuinely horrible. That guy put zero thought into who would be holding for him. You can see that every time he made contact the holder would let the board get pushed back, effectively absorbing the kick with his arms. The proper way to hold is to lock your arms out and turn your head so you won't get hit in the face by debris. He definitely didn't need two holders for what he was doing, and he definitely should've spent some time training his holder on the proper way to hold.
BTW, breaking a board is incredibly easy. I taught 6-year-olds testing for their first belts how to do it. To put it in perspective, a typical piece of wood is ~1/200th the strength of human bone.

Ok....please tell me that this is not one of us!

LOL you beat me to posting this. Great minds...
(although I think it's a staged ploy to get free stuff from the team)

^^^ If you're gonna get caught cheating, you gotta hope it's as clean and friendly a confrontation as that. A scavenger hunt thrown in as a bonus? She's a keeper...
I feel like that nice letter would be fairly compelling evidence in a small claims trial if he can't find all his stuff.

Yeah but my point was that Coach K isn't a public sector employee so he's not relevant to that map your linked to.

North Carolina: Coach K (duh)
Can't be him. Duke is a private school. But you're on the right wavelength. I'm thinking its gotta be Roy Williams

Is the 3-combo limit a newer NFL rule?
I remember teams experimenting with all kinds of crazy combinations ~10 years ago. We did burgundy-on-burgundy, and white-on-white. I know the bears had a blue-on-blue combination they used once for a MNF game in 2002, and does anyone remember Miami with those freaky orange jerseys in a primetime game against us (i still remember the announcer's comment when the Dolphins took the field -- 'and someone in the marketing department had way too much time on their hands').
They must've seen the trend in college football and decided to nip the problem before teams got too creative. (Similarly, the league passed a rule this off-season saying the field must be green, after a few college teams decided to go with red astroturf)
-
Actually, we have already ditched the burgundy pants before the season to make room for the throwback ones.
On a long-term basis though, I think we should find a way to keep the Burgundy pants to have our classic look. (Even if some people hate it there's still a lot of history in that look).
I'm thinking:
- White jersey, burgundy pants
- Burgundy jersey, gold pants
- Throwbacks
-
Just saw on twitter, we're doing Burgundy jerseys on Gold pants tonight.
-
We have never worn gold jerseys. The damn thing even LOOKS fake. Our burgundy pants are now metallic, and don't have the double gold stripe. It's two thick gold/white stripes. We don't have socks that look like those. And that picture has been used on here countless times over the years. It's a ****ty fan made uniform.
The only gold jerseys we have are the QB practice jerseys, and they look nothing like that.
We've also never worn burgundy pants with that stripe pattern. It looks like someone took an existing picture and just used photoshop to drop gold onto the white in our classic-look uniforms.

I hope this guy is joking lol...seriously

it's from the 2010 game (D-Hall with the 4 picks) and yes, we wore white that day. He has to be trolling
I was thinking if might be from pre-game warmups or something. If you google Redskins gold jerseys that's the only picture (of a gold jersey) that comes up.
-
Is that actually from a game? The background is clearly new soldier field, and the Redskins have played there
2003: white jerseys
2004: white jerseys
2010: white jerseys
2012 preseason: white jerseys

Colleges do the black (and other crazy jerseys) because it helps to stand out when you're recruiting against 120 other schools. Love 'em or hate 'em, the Maryland unis got people talking (and its worked really well for Oregon).
I just think using black is lazy because it played out at this point -- doing a black jersey with accents that are your team colors. I'm glad the Redskins have never stooped to that. It's fine for the Steelers because black is one of their colors, but I NEVER want to see a black jersey with B&G accents. Hideous.
EDIT: And for the record, I'm not that big on the Georgia or Boise St black jerseys either.
-
Can we all at least agree that the Redskins should never try to work black into their uniforms? It's the lamest fashion trend in sports and I think it's lazy.
Personally, I'm cool with the gold pants when we wear the burgundy jerseys, but the white jersey w burgundy pants combo is sacred.
-
So how does everyone else pronounce 'paloffs'? Is it like 'pay-loffs'? I prefer saying it 'pal-offs', but maybe I'm in the minority.
Either way, they're totally now.
I've always thought it was "pal-offs" but now that you bring it up, "pay-loffs" actually has a better ring to it...
-
A tad long, but well worth it!!!!
I'm going to link it because it is a video that has written and spoken NSFW words.
Oh my God that was amazing.
-
I actually like the Burgundy pants with the White jerseys -- its our classic look and what you'd see the Redskins wearing in almost every highlight from the 80s/90s (and its what we wore for all but 1 Super Bowl appearance). Why mess with that?
I'm ok with the gold pants when we're wearing the Burgundy jerseys. We don't have quite the history there.

<car driving up onto the guardrail>
That has to be some of the best self-ownage I've ever seen. The person driving couldn't be more deserving of it.

The same referee crew who called the Rams vs Redskins game last week. Those guys are full of win.
Wow the scary part is that supposedly the NFL is putting their "better" replacement crews on the primetime games to avoid these sorts of situations.
-
^^^whoa!! I wonder if that is photoshopped. If not that is hilarious. All TV shows get the same fake newspapers.
My Google-fu is strong today. There is a legitimate reason for it (I don't want to spoil the reason so I'll just post the link): http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2010/06/07/the_story_behind_the_recycled_newspaper_prop.html

LOL, I've spent way too much time in that Panera.
Still, this makes me feel better for myself for returning the phone I found at the train station yesterday.

Ren,
I work in Charlotte in their contracts division and we have a big problem with geese here. When they are nesting, they are really nasty. I actually processed the contract for a company here called Goosebusters to get the geese nests away from our buildings. They attacked one of our supervisors who was pregnant at the time. We have a designated goose stick in the office for people that need to go from building to building who are afraid of getting attacked.
When I was in college there was a park I'd run through that had tons of geese (poo everywhere btw). They'd actually walk away kind of discreetly when I ran by, but they absolutely tortured the ducks in the pond there. Geese and Monkeys are easily my two least favorite animals. (If you've ever been around monkeys in nature, you know why. They steal anything you put down, their young will walk right up to you out of curiosity and mother will follow and try to attack you.)

<Woman stealing foul ball from little kid
I've never caught a foul ball but I've been near a few and stupidity of grown adults around a baseball amazes me. I watched two guys almost knock a guy out of his wheelchair b/c the ball rolled under it once. I went to a Sox-O's game at Comiskey last year and the woman behind me whacked me in the head trying to get a ball that landed a good 5 feet in front of me. The only ok story I have was in the bleachers in St. Louis, when a home run hit a young girl 2 rows in front of me. The guy sitting directly behind me caught the ball but he saw what'd happened and he voluntarily gave the ball to the little girl. (Even in the case of the woman in the picture, I get that the adrenaline rush of potentially catching the ball made her do what she did, but I'm amazed she didn't immediately realize what she'd done).

I saw him on TV too and couldn't figure it out (although I didn't even read the 'RG' written on his cheese).
