Doesn’t that involve draft picks as punishment? It has already been said there are no draft picks involved. Which hire would it be? Not Rivera, whose mere interview supposedly checked that box.

yeah, that’s a concern I’d have, about the football side anyway. Both things have been said, first the Rooney rule thing, and then the no draft picks punishment , which do conflict.

 

I mean this goes back years by the sounds of it, so who knows. Was Gruden brought in because we couldn’t get interest from anyone else. Can’t recall.

 

Either way, I’ll be pissed if we are punished in picks/cap etc.

Makes me wonder why wouldn't players on the team say something if they knew **** was going on?..

if for whatever reason we lose draft picks as a result of this, that'll be infuriating. 

first off nothing about this has been giving the team a competitive advantage, that's pretty obvious, so why should the punishment be something designed to alleviate that scenario. 

and two taking away draft picks punishes fans as much as it does the team and we really dont deserve any more punishment than we've already recieved over the last 25 years.

 

Goodell it's time for you to realize that we the fans deserve some restitution for all that we've been put through and take some action on our behalf for once.

I thought this was fairly public knowledge?  It broke back in 2013, but the "official" story broke in 2014 and didn't name him.  Also HTTR24_7 guy was another one.  RG3 was sending weiner pictures to him (allegedly, but...there were leaks of RG3 taking shirtless pictures and sending them to other females on his wedding night...so it's believable).  Now we know why he hated Kirk with a passion.  

How did I miss this?

 

Why would RG3 be texting pics of his junk to Redskins bloggers?

 

And what does that have to do with Cousins?

Could have had him sign a NDA.

 

Id just be careful with accusing anyone of these things. 

 

I'm not accusing him. There is certainly a chance that he's not involved in whatever the sordid details are here. It's just my opinion that the way things look right now don't bode well for that chance.

If the Kapri Bibbs story is true, there you go.  High-paid guys like norman were getting paid, others were participating like Phil Daniels threatening someone, while Bibbs got benched for sleeping with Gruden's side piece, so the low end of the totem poll guys weren't going to say anything.

Goodell acts on behalf of owners.  So unless they want Snyder gone, he won't do anything other than slap Snyder on the wrist. 

[RichmondRedskin88]

Are we really surprised our players kept quiet?  Nice cushy contract with a probably a perk of being told keep your mouth shut and you may get to bang some cheerleaders while high as a kite in between taking shots.

I think this is tied into the ownership issue.

 

If the issue is big enough that the owner gets canned then I don't think the NFL penalizes the team at all. In fact, it'd probably be stupid too as all the actors would be gone. They might suspend or fine players I suppose, but the team would be free.

 

Now, the reason it would be free would likely be because they don't want to scare off potential owners. You don't ask someone to pay billions of dollars under that kind of cloud. You make a big deal about how justice was served by the cleaning of house and now everything is new and fresh and wonderful.

How about not being the guy that jumps into the thread to throw the race card with no other statements to back it up?  Sound good?

....coming bad news is connected directly to the firings of two senior executives, Alex Santos and Richard Mann. The words “sexism” and “racism” have been thrown out there, along with the description, “toxic culture”, so we have some strong hints about the nature of the coming revelations.....

Now you remember, you said I put race into this discussion... but this link was posted first.

 

I’m thinking that you may be one of those “not this race...card...baiting...whatever stuff again guys” along with your emoji cheerleaders.

[Die Hard]

The rumours certainly give some credence to what many former Redskins would say after they left, that it’s not just about football in Washington.

Like I said in my posts a few up.  Cushy contract and promises of potentially getting some cheerleader tail (See this is why we can’t be named RedTails) while getting high and drunk. All while being kept under wraps.  Amazing how crappy our free agency has been when you see what we offer honestly.

Good question, but tough question. That's always the relevant thought when a story about a company comes out like this. Part of it is that if it's not hurting them, most people don't like to burn bridges and rock the boat, unfortunately. It's why we have a whole term (whistleblowers) and protections in certain instances for the few who feel compelled to speak in some industries. NFL careers average 3 years or less and have permanent health concerns attached. Right or wrong, a lot of guys probably just look out for #1 and move on.

Who gives a ****. People who have been here have the right to be bitter, even aside from all this new report stuff lol. Your fanhood's automated defensive system is kicking in despite participating in a thread completely about all the terrible stuff this organization has been about. There's no need to act like ex-players should shut up just bc they got paid here. It sucked here.

Youre crying way too much.  My point is that Josh Norman sucked here.  It has nothing to do with Washington being a great franchise that should be celebrated despite its faults and shortcomings.  Where did I say that?  You and your co-signers look foolish.

[TheShredder]

How can you let the owner stay after allowing this ****.  I'll only be happy if Snyder is forced to sell. Can't take this organization seriously...and that's coming from a Hall of Fame class clown!

Hey I'm not a co signer..I use co signers

[wrilbo67]

I thought the 'Lawyers are involved,' tweets were kind of weird.  It's a multi-billion dollar company.  They'd have lawyers involved for just about anything.

 

I do think the story is going to be a big deal.  The fact that team announced a name change on Monday and that's the second most newsworthy team news this week is telling.  That said, I think the Twitter hype train has probably taken it to a point where we'll still be underwhelmed when its all out.

Sounds more like you have an unhealthy dislike for Josh Norman because he didn't play well here that leads you to believe he's not allowed to say anything about his time in DC.

You said he should just keep quiet or say no comment now because commenting on this fiasco is sour grapes coming from him and looks like a "parting shot" were the words you used. That is foolish, because speaking on this has nothing to do with whether the player was good or bad or paid well or not.

Yes it does and you know it does.  I’m not arguing with you because it’s dumb.

[redskinss]

I hate the fact that when this breaks I'm going to be embarrassed and I had absolutely nothing to do with it.

 

what a glorious day it'll be when dan snyder is no longer the owner.

Soooooo if the farmer I work for is hiding dead bodies under all the manure and I know about it I shouldn't say anything because I get free milk and cheese and get to occasionally buy myself lunch with the company card?...

 

Nope I'm gonna say something..to much b.s in this country..not enough whistle blowers
