Apparently Phil Simms doesn't think another has been athlete can do his job and commentate. He's gone on record now saying he refuses to say the word redskins on air.

Does the NFL have an official stance on the name?
Kind of what I was thinking, if their name is officially the Washington Redskins then if he doesn't want to call them that the NFL could put pressure on the network to tell them to keep his political belief to himself.

Well I'm thinking just because the name is the Redskins doesn't mean the NFL all has to agree upon it. I'm sure no owner will come out and condem the name but I'm also not sure if Goodell will jump to the defense of the name. I haven't heard a thing from the higher ups what their position is on the controversy.

Good thing man went to the moon. They would have a cow if the Astros were still the Colt .45's.

The superbowl halftime has been narrowed down to:

Rihanna
Katy Perry
Coldplay

Please for the LOVE OF GOD no Katy Perry or Coldplay.

Who comes up with this shit anyways? It's like they intentionally enlist past-expiration date acts.

If it was Katy Perry we could at least hope for a wardrobe malfunction. Rihanna made the worst pop song in recent memory.

The article I read on this said that the NFL is looking for 'acts' that will pay for their halftime exposure. They value the 12 minute spot at $100 million dollars.

Coldplay? seriously? who gives a flying fuck about Coldplay? It might has well be Nickelback or bieber.

Also, season has not even started I'm already fed up with fucking Jon Gruden. His voice is so annoying

I can't believe Hoyer being named Browns starter is actually news worthy. Since when did the expectation become rookie QBs come in and start? I don't even know if Bortles will start for Jax ... will that make headline news as well?

I don't remember the last time a Superbowl halftime show was anything but awful
I'm not even a bruno mars fan, but I have to admit he killed it last year. He was easily the biggest winner of last year's superbowl and probably why the nfl now wants to charge performers because he sold a ton of albums after the superbowl.
