I like those hats kinda. I would totally wear a Baltimore one, as long as it was black and not purple.

I'm telling you all, Peyton is going to Baltimore. Flacco is going to Miami in exchange for Brandon Marshall and 2 future 1st rounders.

Ravens win 4 Superbowls...

This ain't DCX league, man.
 
I know what you said, but how can a man not like LeBron? He seems like such a nice, down to earth guy.

Uh... where do I begin. I don't like hyper-talented athletes who haven't proven they can win anything have a special on their decision which team they join. That's what's wrong with many "young" superstars. Now I sound like snes, thank you.
 
How does it feel to lose to Tebow?

Like this:

Matt Schaub better have a damn good year. With family spokesman Mortensen saying Manning really wanted to play in HOU, and the Texans not being interested; that puts a lot of pressure on him. And if there's one thing Schaub reacts well to, it's pressure

Not bad actually. You would know better than most that it is much easier to take a first round loss than to lose in the Superbowl.

Plus Tebow is awesome and if I had to lose to anyone it would be him! He is like the anti-Brady. I hope when Denver releases him next year he comes to the Burgh to back up Ben and then take over in 3-4 years when Ben doesn't have it anymore.

Call me crazy, but I think the RG3 trade was the right thing for Washington to do in the overall scheme of things.

They have been mediocre for years now with virtually zero stability at the QB position. In most cases, you don't trade multiple first rounders for one guy, and yes, the Redskins did overpay for RG3. But for a potential franchise quarterback (something the Redskins haven't had in a long ass time), it can be the exception to the rule and worth the risk imo. They may have trouble initially putting pieces around RG3 (depending on how they do in free agency), but now they may not have to worry about the QB position for the first time in ages. Of course, this all hinges on RG3 actually panning out, but sometimes you have to take a risk, especially when your team has been floating around the 5-11/6-10 range for the past 10+ years. What's the worst that can happen? The Redskins become a bad team? (you know, like how they've already been for 10+ years now) Besides, draft picks (even first-rounders) are not exactly guarantees either.


At the same time, I can understand why Cleveland wasn't as quick to pull off the trade. They have a tougher time convincing free agents to come play for them, so those draft picks are at more of a premium for that organization.

Of course, it's hard to get big name FAs to show up to your team when you don't have a QB. And when exactly was the last time the Browns had a good QB? They dropped the ball big time.

For the Redskins it was a great move. It gives them hope for the future and it's already had a huge impact where it really matters, ticket sales. Maybe they'll get the real deal at QB too and start winning some games again.

selling has never been a problem, it's getting fans to keep going all season and not pass on their own tickets that's the issue. That and filling up the luxury seats (those are sold too, but people showing up in those sections is still an issue).
