RIPPA 31,744 Posted July 1 NFL is shortening the pre-season to 2 games. They have eliminated Week 1 and Week 4 So the league is changing the schedule to make sure every team plays one road game and one home game The two week games will happen are Aug 20-24 and Aug 27-31 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My marker is on him announcing on the 4th that he's changing the name to The Washington Americans or something equally cheesy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 31,744 Posted July 3 Yeah Snyder is incredibly stubborn, doesn’t like to be told what to do (as are most rich folks) and has carried on about what “special meaning the team name has” At max - it will be “we will change the name.... after the season” and use that as a stall tactic Either way - as long as I can stop seeing the fucking potato memes 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 31,744 Posted July 3 2 hours ago, RIPPA said: At max - it will be “we will change the name.... after the season” and use that as a stall tactic Just another for the Rippa was right pile Quote The Washington Redskins on Friday issued a statement that they will "undergo a thorough review of the team's name" amid renewed pressure. "In light of recent events around our country and feedback from our community, the Washington Redskins are announcing the team will undergo a thorough review of the team's name. This review formalizes the initial discussions the team has been having with the league in recent weeks. "... We believe this review can and will be conducted with the best interest of all in mind." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 31,744 Posted July 3 The statement from the team does give credence to the idea that Red Tails will most likely be the name change. Otherwise just do the Generals to piss everyone off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise just do the Generals to piss everyone off Considering Ron Rivera said that the name honors the military as well, maybe Washington Generals would be appropriate since they lose all the time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 31,744 Posted July 3 I totally forgot that Dan Snyder trademarked the name Warriors years ago If Vegas puts that on the board, that is where you should place your money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kuetsar 1,704 Posted July 3 The Chiefs should be next. . . . I know the Twins probably own the copyright, but a football Washington Senators would also be totally inline with the Slurs recent records . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
