2014 NFL Offseason Thread

[Lint]

Sanchez is ahead of Barkley on the depth chart and has been running the second-string offense, but hes been missing throws and throwing interceptions.

Well at least Sanchez is in mid season form

[Cole]

I'll win whatever league y'all assign me too, not worried

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Brock Lesnar's Minnesota Vikings will lead me to Valhalla.

This commercial will be airing during halftime of the NBA Finals tonight:

Wonder if it will have an impact on the general public. Probably not but it's nice to be hopeful.

[Lint]

Cool that its being run during the NBA game tonight. That commercial is fairly old though. I think I remember reading they were trying to get the network to run it during the Super Bowl, but it was refused

[DMN in the House]

I'm somewhat torn on the Redskins name. Well, not really, because it's racist as shit, but it's also iconic, and I can't imagine the NFL team in Washington having another name.

It's not as bad as the Compton High School Tarbabes, though.

[Lint]

So I stopped to get some pizza tonight and the guys at the pizza shop were talking about football...actually had this conversation

Guy at the counter: The Bears backup last season on point! What was his name?

Me, standing behind him: Josh McCown

Guy: Yea, thats it! He still with the Bears or he go somewhere else?

Me: ...I heard he signed with the Bucs

[Plubby]

Wait, what?! Lint do you have breaking news about the landing spot of Josh McCown that you've not shared with us?!

[Meacon Keaton]

Lint throws around speculation like its fact. It's what he do.

There's a high school in Massachusetts with "Brownies" as a nickname. According to my cousin up there.

A number of schools in the country apparently use "Savages" still as well.

Yeah that shit needs to end.

[The Buscher]

Jon Beason fractured his foot. Out 12 weeks, which would still put him on track to play in the opener if he heals according to schedule, but since that never happens I assume he'll miss a game or two.

[Your Mom]

Did Maxx win the A league last time?

He most definitely did not If I remember correctly he was very angry at the stellar play of rumored Tampa Bay Buc Josh McCown

[PatDaMan]

I hope Adam Schefter gets buried in 5 feet of snow

why?

Sorry - just saw this.

It was more a joke on his height than anything - he's a very small dude, and very insecure about it. You can look around online and find examples of it, I know Barstool has had some stuff in the past.

Beyond the lighthearted joke, something about him, can't quite put my finger on it, just annoys me.

Edit: This is actually what I came in here to post. Evan Mathis is great: http://www.crossingbroad.com/2014/06/evan-mathis-completely-punked-the-media-again.html

Redskins have lost their trademark, US Patent Office has ruled that it's derogatory.

[TCO]

They'll have to change it now, which is for the best anyway. It'll be interesting to see how far they go in the rebranding effort though.

[zero]

They'll appeal. And we as a nation will have to live with the reality of a Supreme Court case about whether or not a football team can name itself the Redskins.

[gunnar hendershow]

Well at least neither the plaintiffs nor defendants will have to travel far for the Supreme Court case.

[Sousa]

I am not looking forward to my Facebook wall today.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah the "It's always been this way, why change it?" crowd are already protesting on mine.

[METALMAN]

I dropped into this thread because the issue has received a bit of coverage here and I was interested in what you guys thought about it. I mean, maybe I'm not able to appreciate the significance of it in a way that Americans can, but I do find it a bit horrific that a team can have that logo and that name nowadays and people think it is okay.
