[NFL] NFL Thread

Uh-oh. Someone check on @blotsfan...

New Era pulls out of Buffalo Bills stadium naming rights deal

 

[blotsfan]

Its not surprising. The county executive called for the name to change after New Era laid off a bunch of local employees.

 

[DarkAudit]

Media types keep posting hints of "something" else going on at Redskins Park, and that it's "bad".

 

[drifter]

Yeah, I'm seeing rumors that it's bad enough that the league might force Snyder to sell the team. I guess we'll find out tomorrow (assuming the story gets published on Thursday).

Photos of him and Epstein?

When has THAT ever gotten anyone in trouble?

 

[Gared]

Was it this?

72 NFL Players Test Positive for Covid-19, Says Player's Union

 

[Dave]

Nah, it's this one. I mean, it's bad, but not "oust Snyder" bad.

[jwhouk]

So it's not Epstein, but it's damn close.


...Didn't this come up before?

 

[Dave]

And now....this. APPARENTLY THIS IS FAKE.

 

[Dave]

Snyder's quote:

"I hope the one thing people remember me for most was when I changed the team name and ended racism."

I'll remember him as the guy who resisted changing the team name for 20+ years and keeping it as racist as fuck.

 

[blotsfan]

Do...do you not realize that's a joke twitter account?

 

[Dave]

No. Other than the Onion and the Babylon Bee I don't know of many others. Oh, and the Duffel Blog.

But which one is the joke? The excerpt from the Washington Post or the one from SportsCenter?

Never mind. Just saw the actual Twitter address. I really hate how many "satire" sites there are. Especially ones which use logos from others to look legit.

 

[blotsfan]

They both are. The handle is @EpicRacismHater.

I guess I just thought the "ended racism forever" line was too obvious.

 

[Dave]

The one from the Washington Post is most definitely NOT a satire site and is a scrape from the paywalled article.

 

[blotsfan]

Did you click the link?

 

[Dave]

Did you click the link?

Nope.

[jwhouk]

Tweet no longer exists. 'Splain yourself, Buffalo boy?

 

[blotsfan]

Someone who said

"I'm still calling them the damn Redskins" and attached this picture:

 

[Celt Z]

Accurate.

 

[drifter]

Hmm, less Oakleys than I would have expected.

 

[jwhouk]

Damn Redskins. That's got potential for a B-roll movie.

 

[evilmike]

Anyone know what the over/under is for Trump tweets defending the old name?

 

[jwhouk]

Didn’t he already do that?

 

[evilmike]

Didn’t he already do that?

Eh... probably?

Found it.


My thought was really more about him going on a whole new rant now that the name change has actually happened.

 

[jwhouk]

I predict the Indians will change their name sometime in 2021. (I'm rooting for the Blue Sox.)

 

[DarkAudit]

This one gave me the giggles.

 

[blotsfan]

So I needed a haircut today. They open at 9. They he one open spot available at 9:20. Then they were fully booked until 1. From 1 to close they were wide open. God bless us, every one.

 

[PatrThom]

God bless us, every one.

Apparently only bless every after one.

The Lions blow a 23-6 lead at home to Mitch Trubisky. Things are returning to normalcy. Nature is healing.

 

[BErt]

What is happening. In this 49ers game.

This doesn't really surprise me. Compared to where I live now, Western New York does everything as early as possible. My parents are continually shocked that restaurants around here don't fill up until around 7, when I remember always having to go out at 4:30 back in WNY if we wanted to have anything less than an hour wait.

I think this is just that the Bills game started at 1.
