The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

Well, we now have the Washington Commanders in the NFC East. Surely this amazing name choice will take news away from Flores going into full meltdown mode.

Soulless name for a soulless faggy team

Terrible. I hate it.

Absolutely. Everything about this season for the Washington Reskins was lolcow worthy, including:

• The email scandal
• Numerous complaints of using cheerleaders for sexual services
• A half-assed tribute to Sean Taylor, with a healthy dose of Jackson Mahomes.
• Fans literally getting shit on.
• A rail by the visitors tunnel collapsing, sending fans falling 3 meters and then being told by team officials to fuck off without any medical attention.

There we have it. Washington is truly the Chris Chan of NFL franchises.

The uniforms are godawful as well.
-Zero sense of a unified theme beyond the lame edgy W logo
-The away jerseys look like something the Cardinals would wear, not the Deadskins
-The alternate is some black for black's sake bullshit that's going to generate confusion if they ever wear it playing the Steelers
-The W on the front of the black helmet is so, so exploitable when they inevitably lose a bunch of games next year
I also hate Nike's love for matching pants and shirts, it just makes the players look like they're playing in pajamas.

 

[KEKMUHLORD]

Who the hell thought that was a good name?

The Washington Commanders sounds like the name of a shitty XFL team.

 

[CHARizard]

Hogs or Red Wolves would have been better. I don't watch football anymore but I grew up with the Skins.

Shitty stadium

Shitty name

Shitty owner

They had 2 years and didnt even come up with a new anthem.

 

[The Nothingness]

Their nickname has already been coined the "Washington Commies"

 

[Iron Hamster]

Lmao I dug into it further and apparently during the 2019 season Stephen Ross tried to arrange a surprise meeting at a marina for Flores with an upcoming free agent QB before the deadline, breaking league rules, and I am 100% certain it was Brady.

Don't see why it would be Brady when I would think they have each other's phone number, and least of which know each other, from NE.

It was a Parent Trap-style wacky coincidence meeting set up by Ross, from how I read it he didn't tell Flores or the prospective free agent QB about the other being there and just hoped they'd be fine breaking league tampering rules once they ran into each other.

 

[Full Race Replay]

they should have dissolved the redskins and sold it to some other guy to move to a new place and pick a new name.

 

[Local Fed]

The should've just gone with renaming themselves the Washington Sentinels. Embrace the early-2000s nostalgia, have Keanu Reaves as their official mascot and make their new fight song "Heroes" by David Bowie.

 

[TsundereDev]

Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders. Thoughts on this rebranding?

Also, I think the helmet with the W right in the center looks stupid as hell, it upsets my autism:

 

[Techpriest]

This is even worse than I expected. Force Dan to sell the team already.

Unfortunately, if getting a congressional investigation started on your team wasn't enough for the NFL to oust Snyder, I fear nothing short of pulling a Donald Sterling and pissing off the players' union via racist statements will do it.

The Washington Commies? Sounds about right.

Hello my fellow white 'folks'

 

[Salubrious]

Washington would have been better off just remaining "Football Team". It was kinda growing on me.

How about the overwhelming possibility that 100% of owners are fucking morons?

Also, notice how these virtue signalers only care about black people. How many Latino or Asian head coaches are there?

Nick Wright is the worst and national sports media is pure AIDS. Also, interesting paragraph at the end there big guy. Should we apply this logic to the tribe as well or does it only apply to wypipo?

Also, notice how these virtue signalers only care about black people. How many Latino or Asian head coaches are there?

To be fair, in this case the argument relates to the % of players who are black vs the % of coaches/staff who are black so it kinda makes sense. They also complain about the lack of woman coaches though which is braindead beyond belief.

Problem is that everyone has been conditioned to assume that all disproportionate outcomes must be a result of injustice. If we take this line of thought to its logical conclusion, we will probably end up recreating “Harrison Bergeron” irl

Now Hue Jackson is saying that Cleveland payed him to tank, the problem being that a Hue Jackson coached team is probably going to Tank naturally.

He did go 8 & 8 with the raiders, IIRC. But I can totally believe he was paid to tank. Some of those clock management decisions start to make sense.
