Have you been reading the news lately? Chapelle has his own social media driven outrage to contend with right now. How big of a woman?

Not this again. Jon Gruden was not an NFL employee. He cannot be fired by the NFL. He was not punished by the NFL. He resigned from employment with the Las Vegas Raiders. Crying hypocrisy because the NFL fired Gruden for misogynist emails but then booked Dre and Snoop for the Super Bowl is inconsistent with the facts. This is lazy whataboutism and fodder for the people who can't pass up any opportunity to gleefully cheer on the imminent demise (seriously, its happening this time...) of the NFL for going "woke".

I have some sympathy for Gruden since I am also a terrible person with terrible friends who trade salacious messages on many topics that aren't representative of my true feelings. Gruden is collateral in a legal action between Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen and an investigation into the WFT. He never expected those messages to be seen by anyone but his friend. But those messages were made public and they compromised his ability to effectively coach the Las Vegas Raiders.

I fully expect that a high draft pick will be used next year to find a Star replacement, if theres one to be had.

Beane did not plan on spending nearly this much draft capital and salary cap on the D line. He was afforded the opportunity to continue using a disproportionate amount of resources shoring up the shakiest unit on this team because he's been so successful in drafting, signing, and retaining talent in every other area of the team. Beane has done a tremendous job building the Buffalo Bills. I give him tons of credit for our recent success. The defense is playing lights out as a unit but that does not mean that the building of the Dline has been some master plan executed to perfection. In my opinion, addressing the defensive line has been his biggest struggle.

A rotation is great and all, but if we had any all pros on this line I think we would find that rotation doesn't apply to superstars. Aaron Donald and Chase Young play a lot of snaps. Haven't missed a game in years but great point. The onus is on you. How many good games has he had? How many great games? If the plan was to spend day 1 and day 2 picks amassing a bunch of unspectacular rotational D lineman then the plan f@#$ing sucks.

Harrison is a healthy scratch, Oliver's 5th year option is major ??, Epenesa has had one good game. Rousseau looks like he could be the real deal and that will make everything worth it but you could just as easily argue that we have had pedestrian returns for the amount of investment in the D line.

Start asking a million questions. Like about every decision to be made no matter how inconsequential. When they finally say they don't care or tell you to decide you ask "are you sure? It seems like you have a very specific vision for this project". Then ask 50 more questions about what size and color the font should be. List all the options.

Unless you're playing Tua/Brissett/Mills then you blitz every down.

Some things always were racist or offensive but they existed just the same and were effectively normalized over the years because no one gave a damn what the aggrieved thought. Generations of use later and things like the Redskins and Chief Wahoo were effectively legitimized. Every decade or so the topic has been re-litigated in public forums. Now we have far less people participating in this discourse who will argue until they're blue in the face that Aunt Jemima, Frito Bandito, and Chief Wahoo are a sacred part of this nation's history and simply cannot be changed. I know many participants in this thread think everything was just peachy until woke outside agitators started calling everything raysis in the twenty aught tens but the fact is this issue with Redskins is well documented back in the 1970s. It 50 years to gain any real traction.

We averaged 12.1 yards per play passing and 8 yards per play on all plays. 31 points on 54 offensive plays, no turnovers. 3 red zone trips, 31 points.

What are the chances that the leak in the NFL head office is Goodell himself?

Was Gruden using his personal email or were these from a team or ESPN address?

How did these emails surface?

I just can't believe no one has played the "are redskin potatoes racist?!?!" card yet. Been waiting for that one.

I am laying out the history and differences for people who think the term Irish is equivalent to Indian or Redskin. If you think my pic of the gutless Dick Jauron juxtaposed as fabled Apache warrior Geronimo is offensive and carries the same weight as the term Redskin or Indian, then I will disagree. Insensitive, perhaps (mostly to Dick Jauron) but I don't really care. I'm not an activist.

And you see no irony in your impassioned defense of cultural appropriation while demanding I change my avatar. Welcome to the club.

Indian is a name that was thrust on millions of people after some dude thought the caribbean was India and it stuck for hundreds of years. Pretty effing ignorant to refer to all of the indigenous peoples of what would become north and south america as Indians. Irish is literally the preferred nomenclature of citizens of the country of ireland. There is nothing remotely controversial or offensive about the term Irish. This is an exceedingly poor comparison.

Who is the Shout Song offensive to and for what reasons?

So if you buy a minor league team from some old bigot that he named the Wichita Lazy Mexicans, in your opinion, the name isn't offensive unless you're an unabashed racist yourself? How does that make sense?

You think Irish is inappropriate?

Chase Young was a 5 star recruit coming out of highschool, an all american in college, a Heisman finalist, and #2 overall draft pick playing for a top 5 CFB program, and DROY last season. I like Rousseau a lot but lets get real.

I thought he was extremely composed and steady through a game with lots of curve balls. He threw the ball away multiple times rather than force throws. He took what KC was giving them. He maintained composure through a barrage of questionable penalties, dropped balls, missed PI calls, a 90 minute weather delay that could easily have gotten the offense off track. He just kept coming and hit the plays that were there. In the past, he would have gone sugar high and started playing hero ball but not last night. And when we absolutely needed a first down and to score some points he hurdled a dude and sealed the game.

Allen was just fine in the AFC Championship game and the offense had no answers.
