On board for Captain Kirk. Cutler and Eli must be pumped to have someone else competing for most picks. Cousins will move the ball some, though. I'd almost bet if he plays 16 full games he ends up with more passing yards than Joe Flacco at the end of the season.

So early Brett Favre without the wins and touchdowns.

The Raiders have cut Trent Richardson. I bet poor Trent didn't see it coming because he can't see anything, apparently.

What's the odds on the Cowboys making a call to him?

The Swamp: The State of the NFL in Washington, D.C.

Once Roger Goodell, his attorneys, his flacks, his band and street choir, and his orchestra finish their intensive study of gaseous anomalies in Foxborough, they might finally tend to other league business. Specifically, they might notice that one of the NFL's signature franchises, the one that plays its games in the sphere of influence of our nation's capital, is turning into such a huge, chewy cluster of fuck that you couldn't un-cluster it with a chainsaw and two cruise missiles. I realize that it doesn't carry the same molecular weight as a seven-month discussion of the ideal gas law, but the fact that the Washington football team appears to be devolving into Game of Thrones performed at Monty Python's Castle Anthrax would seem to the untrained observer to be worth at least a couple of phone calls to discover what is going on in the rolling hills of suburban Virginia.

Remember when owners realized they knew fucking nothing about football and kept their nose out of the roster dealings and play schemes?

What exactly does he expect him to do about the internal goings on in Landover? I get the point that he's trying to say it tarnishes the brand image, but really he expects Goodell to step in and tell them what to do with their own team? And how is that warranted, since they aren't breaking any rules? That's a terrible precedent that everyone would hate, there's enough animosity towards Goodell/the league office already...

Also WTF is Goodell going to do to Snyder? Goodell WORKS for Snyder, not the other way around.

It was just a handful of owners that had been around for an eternity that you actually heard about, Al Davis, Ralph Wilson, Rooney family. Now it seems like every team's dumbass owner wants to get their hands in the business and try to run the team when all they know how to do is sell oil or make money. Shit even Ralph Wilson fucked over the bills towards the end there.

That's why you've got the dumbass fiasco that is the San Francisco 49ers and the Washington Redskins.

That may be the dumbest excerpt I've ever read. WTF is the NFL supposed to do to make the Redskins not a bunch of flaming morons? Are they just going to pull starters from other teams and give them Belichick? I remember the Bengals being a laughing stock for the longest time and don't recall any articles saying the NFL needs to figure it out for them. I'm guessing the person who wrote this is the world's biggest liberal as well.

I think it becomes an issue if the other 31 owners feel like Snyder is fucking up the NFL brand somehow and losing them money. They're all thick as thieves though, even with the shit they're forcing Kraft through. The only consistent dissenter was Al but he was mostly just swinging his dick around.

The skins are getting more airtime than even relevant football franchises. I think the NFL is well aware that sometimes a dysfunctional organization can generate more revenue and eyes and ears than a well oiled machine.

Far be it from anyone sane to defend Snyder, but he isn't fucking up the brand any more than Jax or Oakland are. At least the Skins generate buzzy headlines. I would think the last thing the team's supporters should welcome is Goodell's attention for their reputation, you know lest he start considering the whole name thing.

That's what I was getting at. It would have to be pretty bad for anyone to do anything, at least publicly. Right now, most people don't care. I know I don't outside of the lulz.

Not a fan but I live in Northern Virginia and the past few years makes me sympathize with Raiders fans. It's the only comparable situation; successful, multiple Super Bowl winning franchises with many iconic players and Hall of Famers that got ran into the ground. Now I know what you must feel. No other franchise is close. Other franchise eventually resurrected like the early 90s Dallas and Pittsburgh. At least one had Jerrah that was smart enough to bring in JJ and the Rooney's knew how to run an organization. The Raiders and Redskins are a full 5 years away IF they cleaned house from the Owners on down TODAY. There was a recent survey that asked if fans would let the Redskins move to somewhere like LA and wait for an expansion franchise to come in 5 years. No home team in the meanwhile. Most people said yes just to get rid of the owner.
