Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Well, you have to look at where the Redskins were when that trade was executed. No franchise QB for literally several decades, the McNabb experiment failed as hard as anything could fail, etc.
Despite looking like one of the worst teams in the league so far it's not like a high first round pick this year would be a magical turning point for the team. The upside of Griffin returning to his 2012 form, if he ever gets over the injury completely or whatever, is still worth more than giving St. Louis one more draft pick. To me the trade won't be a failure until Griffin is either permanently Vick'd every season with repeated injuries or benched because of dick sucking.

RG3 was a deal at that price really. The Skins dumped picks to get an electric athlete at the most important position in football. Wilson was a totally unexpected windfall and RG has made Snyder and the NFL millions already. Last year's Skins were one of only three 10-6 teams they had fielded in 2 decades plus. The skins needed a homerun and so did Shanny. Ask him if keeping his job for another year was worth 4 picks. If you think about it, Seattle can still win when their QB shits out a sub 150 yard game and can't even complete 10 passes. RG has looked really bad but his defense sucks balls. No one in the NFL was willing to waste a 1st or 2nd on Wilson either. Classic example of armchair coaching.

I don't know why but this reminds me of a time when a black lady called me cracker, I started laughing and asked her if I at least was a Ritz cracker, she yelled at me as loud as she could SALTINE CRACKER and I just laughed harder. Woman must have been having a really bad night, all I said to the woman prior to the exchange was "Excuse me mam, can I get the key to the restroom?" the more I laughed the angrier she got. I just don't get it, how is cracker offensive, omg you are white like a cracker, well no shit captain obvious.

If they are going to continue being Washington D.C.'s team then naming it after white people is hardly appropriate. But in reality they play in Maryland and most of their fans at the game are white, and their biggest fanbases are in hillbilly southern Maryland, redneck Virginia and even down into the Carolinas. So maybe the hillbillies or the inbreds would be good.
That would make for some sweet mascot options too.
In all honesty I'd guess that 75% of any NFL game day is just basic white rednecks. Bit different culture in NYC/Boston/Philly I guess, but most of the country it sounds applicable. Maybe more thugs in the bay area for Oak/SF.

And similarly, all the homeless black junkies and street dealers aren't filling up the stadium and tailgate lots every weekend. If you want a stereotype for Donnie from Dundalk you're going to have to go in another direction. Riding the light rail to the stadium Sunday I found my self observing that you could drop about half our fanbase into a Joan Jett/Motley Crue double bill circa 1984 and no one would notice other than the purple jerseys.

Sort of.

=============================================
Doing my ESPN picks and Seattle at home is a 19.5 favorite over Jacksonville. I don't think I've seen an NFL spread like that since New England was in full fuck you mode after getting busted for cheating.
Denver at home is 14.5 over Oakland. Crazy for a divisional game.
=============================================
So am I crazy or have we been getting absolute shitfests every Sunday/Monday night? Looks like 2 more lined up this week with Chicago/Pitt and Oakland/Denver. 1st will just be an ugly mess and 2nd should be a one sided asswhipping.

Being a Denver fan, I agree with this. I was surprised when I saw that our Monday Night game was against the Raiders. I mean, I knowwhythey scheduled it this way, but it shouldn't have been. Oakland is a joke at this time, and the only saving grace is the fact that Denver and Oakland hate each other enough that I always consider these games a toss up to a degree. Just like I never count on sweeping the Chiefs or Chargers.

This is how I've always felt. AFC West games are usually played with emotions high, and momentum swings happen. Is that still the case? Not near as much with players moving to new teams so often, but I think it still holds true.
Also, I'm pretty sure 'cracker' doesn't refer to an edible.
The lines have been fucking crazy to me this year. Jacksonville is real bad, but goddamn 2 touchdowns and 2 field goals for a team that scored 12 points in half the games they've played this year.
