I agree with all but the last part - it has nothing to do with you being married.....

This highlights the entire problem with the chasm created by 45s campaign and resulting election coupled with his full out attack on the media. The playbook is Deny, Deflect, and Attack! What's interesting is how quickly they will turn inwards and attack, not if someone commits heinous acts like Roy Moore who many are still defending and refusing to believe he did it, (I honestly think it's worse if they acknowledge he is likely guilty but still vote for him due to party, but that's just me.), but if someone dares to present facts that they don't agree with. The recent debunking of the entire Uranium One accusations by Shepard Smith is a perfect example. Instead of realizing that the accusations are completely false, they are calling for Smith to be fired from Fox. BTW: I wonder how many people are wishing they still had their Keurigs!! Most hilarious thing I have ever seen!

Could not agree with this more. We went from a certain 0-4 with people wanting jay g fired and the entire team replaced to winning The SB in 3 gms. I wonder how many will be making hotel reservations for the SB if we somehow manage to beat KC? I like this with manusky, swearinger, and the rest. Guys are making each other better. They played well enough to beat philly. Hopefully kirk and the off have found themselves. Will need to play an almost perfect game to compete with KC much less beat them.

If you truly believe in the constitution and everything that it stands for in terms of this great country and the freedoms that the flag represents, you have to defend to your core someone's right to protest during the anthem or however they see fit. I said this before but I believe it is worth repeating. Until President Obama was elected there was a large portion of our society that was not invested in the US. They lived here and were citizens but they did not feel like they had a voice. He gave them a voice. So they are participating. But you can't say the flag and the Nation Anthem represent freedom and the struggle for that freedom but then as soon as someone exercises that freedom in a way that you don't like say, well you can't to it "that" way! I am offended. So I come back to, If you truly believe in what the flag and the Nation Anthem stand for, you may not like it, it can make you angry, you can disagree completely, but you can't tell people they can't protest "that" way. Freedom here is meant to be absolute (as long as it's not physically hurting anyone). You don't get to pick and choose how others express themselves. Not only that, you have a responsibility to defend them and their right to protest how they see fit an they should defend your right to disagree with them.

Thanks frfan!

The ultimate conspiracy!! Dare we think it? Thought this was too funny not to post somewhere. Warning - There is some bad language. May not want to watch with small children nearby.

Says the guy who quotes Tony Robbins!!

I really do not get this thought process at all. There are two completely separate issues that many can't seem to separate. Trent's responsibility and the leagues responsibility. It appears he is getting jobbed here but had he never failed a single test he would not have had to worry about missing the test while in Africa. He has to be accountable for his actions. Now, there is a second, completely different issue here with the league and their incompetence. What's worse is that when it's clear he was wronged there is no recourse. But still, had he never failed a single test none of this would be happening - period.

Agree that's a little ominous. However, it goes both ways - we are 11th at converting 3rd downs and they are actually worse than us stopping at 32nd. Also, interestingly enough we are #1 in the NFL in offensive 3 and outs at 9.38 (6 of 64) where the Lions are 26th at 23% (13 of 56). Our Off should get some extra drives if our D continues to play like it has and we should be able to win the field position battle - in theory! :

This is where the Redskins can go a long way to showing they are for real or remind us they are still a work in progress. To be a good team, you have to beat inferior teams. This is probably the most lopsided in favor of the Redskins this year - on paper. The Lions wins have not been very impressive as the season unfolds (I know, the same can be said for the Redskins). But even the Browns looked like a little better match up when we played them. They opened the season with a win over Indy - who looks really bad right now. They then lost 3 straight to TN, GB, and CH - not exactly a murders row of teams outside GB who is not playing very well right now either. Then they squeak by PH who are who we thought they are (yea, I went there), and then beat a Jeff Fisher coached Rams team - enough said on the Rams and the king of underachieving! When you look at the stats above, this should be an easy W. However, one of the next steps this team needs to take is to put away bad teams early and get an easy W. I know my blood pressure would appreciate it! At least on paper, the Lions look like a bad team. But if they take them lightly, they will get beat. Let's see if the team can back up Swaggys talk (which BTW I wish he would keep his big mouth shut till the end of the season!)

Was definitely my point, But you wrote it in a much more entertaining fashion!

Wanted to add something else - I actually saw someone say, mind you based just on the few minutes played last night against mostly scrubs and back-ups, that we could have a controversy for back-up QB! And so begins the romance with whatever 3rd, 4th or worse string QB on the Redskins roster! Let's start with Vernon Davis has to catch that ball! The entire complexion of the game and McCoys performance changes if he does. Second, and I am not sure why this is so hard to grasp this - Sudfeld did what he did against guys that will be bagging groceries in a few weeks and McCoy has already had some success in the NFL. That's not to mean he will develop into a good QB. He is just a rookie. And he clearly shows promise - but a controversy for #2? There is no controversy! Maybe next year McCoy moves on and Sudfeld takes his place. I am glad he is Redskin and should provide solid depth and will have some excellent time to grow without being thrown to the wolves. That's how you grow a roster. But barring injury McCoy will be the #2 this year. Any talk of a controversy is purely mythical and just makes no sense what so ever!

Everyone does realize this was a "preseason" game, right? The only thing you can get out of this is if the 1s played very well. After that you really have no idea. The 1st team Off and D looked overall pretty good outside the run game. The Oline obviously missed TW. Let's see what the run game looks like in the next few weeks. If people remember, we looked bad in the run game last preseason. But then exploded in the 1st 2 actual games only to have KL and SL go down for the season. The apoplectic concerns over all things Redskins, while predictable, is just not necessary and IMO total over-reaction. I could care less how they play in the first game of the preseason outside the 1s. They are putting guys in situations. They are looking at different combinations of players. Most will never play together again. Also, there were several key players out of the game for precaution. This is the purpose of "preseason" games. Make mistakes, get some coaching and fix them. As for the penalties, some of that's rust and some of that are the refs letting the teams know what can be called and some rust on their parts too. It's preseason for the refs also. I turned it off after the 1st Q. The rest is not much more than a glorified scrimmage. The 1st teams looked good enough to be optimistic.

I believe this Tannehill thing has been taken out of context. The reason Tannehill was pissed is because the picks happened during the Sat. walk through. The Def is not supposed to make any picks or tackles. The purpose of the walk through is just that, walk through the plays to make everyone is on the same page. Having said that, there must be a reason the PS players were doing what they were doing. But Tanny being pissed is kind of understandable. I would like to know the whole story. There is a lot I think they are leaving out. Like how it got to this point.

I am pretty sure I saw these listed with the official rules changes in the winter meetings in 2001. I am trying to find the reference now. Also, they added that all teams will get a free TD via a critical PI call against one of our players giving them the ball inside our 2. I am pretty sure that is law now.

Here was my first effort. I traded back several times to end up with a total of 3 2nds, 4 3rd, and 2 4ths, plus a 1st rd for 2016 and 2017. I was able to go Oline, Dline and secondary, which is what I think we need. Plus grabbed a few other players here and there as best available to me. Kind of fun. If we could get this, I don't think anyone would be too upset. Your score is: 4557 (GRADE: B+) Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 15 (S.F.): A.J.

I did not want to read all 8 pages of comments so I apologize if this has been brought up, but Suits is a very good show. If you liked Boston Legal this is almostg as good. Somewhat similar, but enough different it's not a retread. I also agree with those who mentioned Person of Interest. Awesome premise well executed. Great casting.

Name the publications that are not biased? In today's media, I have seen very very few that would be considered unbiased. The closest that I know of is "The Week." Also "The Economist" is not awful. I mean this sincerely, if you know of some publications that just report the news and let people make up their own minds, please let me know. USN&WR, Time, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, etc. are not among them. None of the daily national papers are unbiased. We can argue which way each of them lean but they lean none the less.
