Instead they get to pay Alex Smith $71,000,000. But hey, at least they had 6 years to come to that decision.

Someone should start one here.

Amen. Lets just keep our entertainment and our politics separate. What’s next? Are we going to start electing actors to be the POTUS? Draft dodging reality TV stars?

What are you doing here when you could be standing for the anthem right now from the comfort of your own home? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP5---17O4s

I’m sure he has a confederate flag sticker on his truck as well.

They should at least be up front about the fact that these displays are advertisements. They intentionally do it on the sly in order to make people think these are organic displays and not paid sponsorships. Pretty manipulative, IMO.

Are you this outspoken against people celebrating the confederate flag? The right will never run out of excuses for why we should ignore and invalidate calls for injustice.

How can I virtue signal about how “patriotic” I am if they stop playing the national anthem, though?

We can keep politics out of sports when leagues lose their anti-trust exemptions and stop using public money to finance their stadiums.

Bosa all day every day.

Cool. You think the Redskins handled their QB situation well. You and I clearly disagree pretty much across the board when it comes to evaluating QBs and the handling of QBs.

How is NYC a black hole? They pay all the taxes.

Washington literally did everything wrong. They had a good QB, but decided he wasn’t good enough to commit to long term. Instead of letting him go or trading him, they decided to piss him off and franchise him. They wound up paying him a ton of money and were left with nothing to show for it. They wound up trading assets for a similar player who was older, and his leg fell off. They had to panic draft a QB, and the early returns are terrible. Basically they’ve invested as much or more into the position than anyone, and they’ve got Dwayne Haskins to show for it.

It hasn’t exactly worked out well. They had a very good QB, but they decided to string him along, but they certainly didn’t save any money in so doing. They gave up a lot of assets, both in picks and a player for Alex Smith. It failed. They tried Case Keenum. It failed. They drafted a QB early in the first round a year ago, and people were already calling for them to give him the Josh Rosen treatment. Buffalo has this season to decide on Allen without turning into a soap opera. If they decline they fifth year option, you’ve got your answer.

Yeah, that’s essentially the Redskins model. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Denver’s guy drafted 2 Broncos.

Really? Gross.

I liked the Texans taking Hopkins in the first.

22nd overall QB taken, and it was the Bills reporter who drafted him. Herbert was 23rd.

What if every NFL team had a complete do-over in building its roster? What if every single player were a free agent? What if the worst team in the league had a chance to add a Super Bowl MVP at quarterback? Or one of the worst defensive teams out there was able to plop a two-time Defensive Player of the Year in the middle of its front? Well, let's find out. We hit reset on NFL contracts and released every player to the open market. Then we gave our NFL Nation reporters the GM job, allowing them to re-draft the foundations for their teams. Here are the rules: Every current NFL player is available, and salary caps don't matter here. But we only drafted four rounds. In those four picks, each pretend GM had to select a quarterback, a non-QB offensive player and a defensive player. The fourth pick was a wild card, open to anything. We used the 2020 NFL draft order, with traded picks reversed, and a snaking format. What about the other 20 starters for each team? The rest of the roster is made up of average-level NFL talent. Our analytics team identifies that as someone such as OT Donovan Smith, edge rusher Harold Landry III or CB Malcolm Butler. Each GM was asked to draft with intentions of winning a Super Bowl within five years. Some took a harder line, while others built a base that might still need a year or two. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29234387/re-drafting-nfl-picked-128-foundational-players-all-32-teams

Sounds good to me. The less phony “look at me” patriotism, the better. Sure sucks that we aren’t indoctrinating our kids every morning anymore. At least the drinking fountain budget has been cut in half.

The only people I’ve ever heard even use the term Antifa are the Fox News types. To the extent that they even exist, they certainly aren’t self-promoters. If they’re spray painting something, it has a message. They don’t just scrawl their own name on a wall. The far right talks about Antifa more than Antifa talks about Antifa.

I’ll bet they already know whether or not they’ve sent white supremacist texts or used the n-word.

OMG, is that Grazni, Aleppo, Sarajevo, or Portland? What an absolutely horrific scene. It’s truly a war zone.
