Bronn Stone Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 So the big reveal from the Washington Football Team is set for February 2nd. Groundhog Day. For the team that called a portion of themselves Hogs. I have a bad feeling about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Red Hogs is by far my favorite there. Red wolves is okay but doesn’t have the historical impact with the team. All the patriotism ones suck and would rather have football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I honestly think Hogs is better than Red Hogs. It's best to cut any ties with the term "red." Was dropping Washinton for D.C. ever on the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, is that sarcasm? On 1/3/2022 at 7:48 PM, Reny of Storms End said: It feels like my youth is ending tonight. I know there is a lot of genuine dislike, and rightly so, for Big Ben, but he was drafted when I was still in high school! This is a weird feeling. Wow, did he grope anyone you know? 4 hours ago, Argonath Diver said: So the WFT is announcing their new name/mascot/uniforms on February 2nd. I don't have any connection with the DC area, but of these I think the Red Hogs is a pretty hilarious name, and the Armada or Brigade sound appropriately martial, so I assume they'll pick the ridiculously lame Defenders after all. I mostly dislike non plural sounding names (ie non s ending). Defenders sounds so lame. like Guardians without a possible Macross side reference. Maybe they should go full commie and settle on Red Extermination Camp Guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in another post, it's mostly in jest, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some younger coaches who grew up on the game, enjoyed the aggressive nature of it (Madden hated that and actually asked for EA to turn the difficulty up on 4th down plays, learned that one today) and when they found out the math actually supported it said, "Fuck it, let's do it."

OK, I may have misread your previous post, since you said Way Too Often. Way too often according to 20th century football. I believe deeply that Don Shula would still be ahead of Dave Gettleman though in the current era. is that controversial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gettleman is a living, breathing example of how any intelligent person could be a mediocre GM if they put the time and energy into the work.

DireWolfSpirit Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Those are all really marginal choices for WFT. Did they borrow Cleveland's selection committee to come up with that uninspiring list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to trademark, hard to exploit for ancillary sales. And that is what is driving this decision - the very real possibility that they might lose the rights to "Redskins" in the future on the basis that the term is "disparaging, scandalous, contemptuous, or disreputable."

DMC Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Living in Pittsburgh for the better part of a decade I've met a handful of people that claim they went to high school with Gronk. A couple more say they went to school with Aaron Donald. I've yet to meet anyone eager to share they've met/know Roethlisberger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Surprised AB is still technically a Buc. I'm curious if it's a legal/medical issue or if they don't want to allow him to sign with another playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Guess I should have waited a bit: Make of this what you will. AB doesn't have much credibility, but if an investigation finds this to be mostly accurate, oh boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB is probably done either way. And BA was probably going to retire regardless after this year or the next. What's more interesting is who is going to sue who. 5 minutes ago, DMC said: If only it could somehow be Tom Brady's... Brady will probably play another year, but I don't think he's getting an eight ring. The biggest reason why the Bucs won last year is because they were incredibly healthy down the stretch while the Packers and Chiefs had decimated o-lines. That's not the case this year.
