Good ol' murder hornets!

Maybe, but wouldn’t you be bummed today if your team had rebranded as the “Killer Bees” in 1987? Sometimes invasive species fail to live up to the hype.

In a nutshell Redskins is considered racist and the name Chiefs isn't.

I recently heard of the Seattle Kraken, now that is a badass name!
The murder hornets is cool

There's no taming down the tomahawk chop, ain't gonna happen. I saw it at multiple college games this weekend that have nothing to do with native imagery. Iowa game i think was one

I was at the Iowa game but missed the chop. Not that I'd put it past college students (or drunk alums) to use the wrong team's chants, but are you sure it wasn't just a sloppily executed Herky bite (was 7 Nation Army playing at the time)?

I'm not sure...I'm was just trying to think of games I watched this weekend.

Wentz actually looked better than average.

Anyway all good that he’s played 98% of the possible snaps he’s on the way to the 75% needed for the Eagles to get Indy’s first round pick.

That would be something for the Eagles to hold 3 top 10 picks(Theirs,Dolphins and Colts) That said 3-4 more losses and Wentz will be shut down before the 75% although he will probably sprain both his ankles again before that point.

Imagine losing millions for a 10 year old email? There is something very wrong with that. I Don t care if he was praising hitler

I grew up with Roger the dodger Staibach and the Doomsday defense.I tried to focus on the Colts last year and gave up on the boys but now their pulling me back in with this great offense.What I meant about Bills Cowboy Super Bowl is they lost two to Dallas back to back.If Dallas isn’t there I’ll be rooting for the Bills too

It was multiple emails over many years, I’m no SJW but to defend him is absurd. It just proves what everyone outside of Raider nation already knew, he’s a moron.

Where you call your current boss a faggot?
I mean...kinda seems aboot right

Good to see Who-Dey mantle has been taken up

Very Christian of you!

I was really hoping to see gruden fall to the depths of obscurity by way of his own coaching incompetence, but alas.

I just want to know who's going to pickup the torch of spouting random play calls from the 90s. We need someone yelling things like "xy banana under 26 double inside man camera TV" to impress and intimidate the new QBs coming out of college.

I think if his ire had been directed at anybody else, there wouldn't have been a leak.

he called Goodell a “faggot” and an “anti football pussy” — among other insults — in emails to former Washington Football Team president Bruce Allen, the New York Times reported Monday.

Should they let the Golden State killer go too?

Calling people queers and faggots, that's old school football right there.

Comments like this are why we all get thrown into one group or another. It’s perfectly fine to call out unjust firings, but this clearly isn’t one of those times. Dude is a Neanderthal and clearly has no place being employed.

Not saying it’s right, but it would be much different had he been out drinking with buddies and someone secretly taped him saying dumb shit. The guy put it in written form on numerous occasion, he’s as dumb as they come.

Isnt anyone curious why these emails came out now? Why nit when he did Monday night football? Pretty sure his views were shared with players and other coaches. Some opinions of which thet probably agreed with him on.

He wasn't a part of the investigation then.

I am curious what more comes of this. I haven't heard a heck of a lot clarifying what the investigation covers.

Admittedly Gruden is a dumb-ass but I find it a little unsettling when the NFL is digging in the WFT for unrelated reasons and finds dirt on somebody else, then proceeds to leak it to the newspapers to get their desired outcome. Effectively letting NFL off the hook and letting the court of public opinion mete out justice.

This from the same guy that immediately destroyed all the Spygate evidence before anyone could review it.

Shady shit in the NFL - Goodell will do anything to protect the brand.

Look, the only reason he was fired is because he lost to the Bears.

Right before the pandemic hit, my girlfriend attended this class where she learned to preserve and pin out bugs and large insects. It's both gross and cool. Sure enough, when the murder hornets hit the US while we were stuck at home, the person that taught the class put out a murder hornet kit that you could buy and pin up the hornet at home. So every day, in my kitchen, I stare at the murder hornet that's in a shadow box carefully pinned out. Those things are freakishly big!

"In the emails, Gruden called the league’s commissioner, Roger Goodell, a “faggot” and a “clueless anti football pussy” and said that Goodell should not have pressured Jeff Fisher, then the coach of the Rams, to draft “queers,” a reference to Michael Sam, a gay player chosen by the team in 2014.

In numerous emails during a seven-year period ending in early 2018, Gruden criticized Goodell and the league for trying to reduce concussions and said that Eric Reid, a player who had demonstrated during the playing of the national anthem, should be fired. In several instances, Gruden used a homophobic slur to refer to Goodell and offensive language to describe some N.F.L. owners, coaches and journalists who cover the league."

And he lost his job? Good. He's always been an ass. Please don't let him to football commentary again.

No, nobody who had actually read any of 8,900,777 stories about this is curious about this. It’s in the first paragraph of most of these stories.

As I’ve said There’s a lot of nasty shit in those emails but the worst from a player standpoint is his complete disregard for player health and safety.

You can’t expect players to trust a coach / general manager who thinks concussions are not an issue. Simple as that.

And then there’s all the the other stuff….

A good email sanity check is if you couldn't read the email to your grandma, or mom, you shouldn't send it. That's my personal rule.

Say those things in person.

This kind of shit happens all the time in are corrupt capital.They go looking into one allegation and find a slew of other wrong doings.At that point someone is going down whether it had anything to do with the original reason for the investigation or not.There old saying is to follow the money I think right back to Davis.I do think we need to treat everybody the same though and to not act like older white men are the only people who talk the way Gruden did!
As far as Gruden goes I say so long Mr Dumas

Mine is if it won't be funny when the court stenographer reads it over the top of her glasses on that tiny sheet of paper, don't send it.

I break that rule a lot.

I for one wouldn't want people going through my personal email/chat history. There are a lot of embarrassing Packers predictions in there..

I hope the Bengals wake tfu and trade Trae Waynes before we can't get anything for him like they did with Eifert. Waynes has been on the field 2 times since Cincy signed him 11/2 - 2 seasons ago. The guy has a history of injury get rid of his ass and lets move forward.

Waynes is already worth nothing. They are just going to cut him in the off-season.

He also had no injury history before the bengals. Played in at least 14 games each season.

Is he significantly injured? I know a guy who may be interested.

Hamstring. Won’t heal. Every time he comes back, he goes right back.

Butker -
FG Attempted 139 - Success 90.64%
But only his 5th year - He's not even in top 100 of FGA
Xtra Points 205 - Success 94.03% !!! DANGER !!!
Career 40-49 - 33/38 86.84%!!
Career 50+ - 14/20 70%
Career Long - 58

Tucker
FG Attempted 333 (2.4x Butker's number) - Success 90.69%
Good enough for #1 all time and in his 10th year
Xtra Points 359 - Success 98.9%!!! He's missed 4... in 10 years!
Career 40-49 - 92/102 - 90.19%
Career 50+ - 44/62 - 70.96%
Career Long - 66

Sounds like schefter was called out in the investigation for his shitty journalism practices.

Where did you get those nice clean stats? Interested to see how crosby compares to someone like butker.

If you ever saw Cambell coming at you, you'd think it he was a god or be praying to yours

trade offer incoming!!

Yeah sending Bruce Allen your article for review does not seem like a solid journalistic practice.

Boy it's almost like The #1 NFL News connection in the world shares his info with the NFL; shocker!

Crosby is 81.6% lifetime...I mean that shitty 62% season buried his already not grand average.

Lots of kickers have awesome stats untuil their final seasons...like Qbs, and Rbs....etc

Some nice tool references

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/fga_career.htm

Crosby - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CrosMa20.htm
435 FGA - 81.6%
XP % 97.5%
40-49 yrds - only 75.6%
50+ yrds - 56.16%

Robbie Gould is 86%, which is impressive with how long he’s kicked and where he’s kicked.

I'll give you Nick Sirinnai and a cheesesteak for him.

Didn’t realize that ESPN signed a 5 year deal bringing playoff football to Monday on wildcard weekend.So 2 games Sat,3 Sun and one on Monday.Last year was great.This is even better.

Yeah I'm not feeling the Monday thing...but by then an extra day off work and drinking will probably come in handy

What is this "work" thing that you speak of

*playoffs* on cable???

first the MLB
now the NFL as well
game over.

Good thing I still have my 1974 AM radio to be a loyal sports fan. It's a great place to use AA's with <1.5v

When I was a kid, I always made my super bowl picks after week 5. Got a few of 'em right.

PICK
Bills over Bucs. (only because Brady is a grand wizard that can will winning outcomes with his mind, AND he's due for a SB loss)

LIKE TO SEE (a first time winner)
1. Bills over Dallas (the big payback game) "kinda"

2. Cleveland over Cardinals.
OR
3. Cardinals over Cleveland.

Football wins either way.

You've had plenty of time to think about it -- let's hear your money pick, and your "like to see pick(s)"

Money pick - Ravens

Like to see pick - Bengals

Money pick
Bucs assuming they stay healthy

Like to see
1 Bengals - my team
2 Cardinals - GET THAT RING AJ!
3 Browns - feel bad because they are from the bad part of Ohio (But only if OBJ gets traded)

I would have had Chargers on this list because I would love to see Donald get a ring, but I would hate to see Ramsey get one.
