[O Really]

I'm not saying he didn't do the right thing, but if he'd held out a bit, I'm sure the team, and maybe Evans since it was his mistake, would have contributed more in the direction of a more equitable trade. I might also (or instead of) asked for a written contract to get a share of the proceeds if at any time in the future Brady does sell it.

If I was going to guess which team would fuck up ESPN and the NFL, it would have been Washington.

Congress requests NFL documents on Washington Football Team investigation

More to come.

The League should just cut to the chase, get rid of Snyder, name them the Washington Reds, and let a new owner start with a cleanish sheet.

Roger Goodell says Dan Snyder has been 'held accountable,' won't release report due to anonymity

... The NFL commissioner addressed the fallout of the league's investigation into Washington with reporters on Tuesday, standing by the league's handling of one of its most reviled team owners. Goodell claimed Snyder has been "held accountable," per video from The Washington Post's Nicki Jhabvala.

Goodell's answer:

"I do think he's been held accountable for it. I think the organization has been held accountable and I think we've given an unprecedented fine. Dan Snyder has not been involved with the organization now for almost four months.

"We obviously focus more on making sure that policies that they had, many of which they put into place prior to this investigation, but also coming out of it, were put into place and that they will be maintained, and that we can ensure that won't happen in this organization."

Following the NFL's year-long investigation, the Washington Football Team was fined $10 million. Snyder would later step down from overseeing day-to-day operations for the team, though you could hardly say he is not involved, as Goodell claims, when it was his wife who took control in his stead.

Washington's punishment was blasted by Lisa Banks, an attorney representing 40 former Washington employees who claimed to experience sexual harassment while working with the team. In a statement, Banks accused the NFL of protecting one of its club owners, calling the fine "pocket change" for Snyder (estimated net worth: $4 billion) and "a slap in the face" for her clients and other accusers.

One of the reasons many have taken issue with the NFL's handling of Washington is the league's decision to not have investigator Beth Wilkinson produce a written report on her findings. Instead, the league had her deliver an oral presentation behind closed doors.

In response to the calls for an actual report to be produced, Goodell said the league would not do so out of concern for the anonymity of those who came forward....

While Goodell claims to be protecting the team's accusers, quite a few of them have publicly called for a report to be produced. The league is also facing calls from Congress for a report.

Why "Reds"? It's similar to their historical name, but without any racial/cultural offensive connotation. And if Karen doesn't like it, she'll also have to take up her complaint with Cincinnati and a bunch of other places, though not many more in the US and explain how the unadorned name of a color can be offensive anywhere but in the minds of the offended. And the team formerly known as the "Skins" already has red as a major color.

Yeah, it took me a minute . I edited the question to my own suggestion before you answered it.

Meh, the Cincinnati Reds are shortened Red Stockings and not objectionable. Would it be the same for the Washington Reds ?

They should call the team the Monuments.

Tonight, Green Bay 6-1 @Arizona 7-0 has the potential to be a great game. I don't really have a preference, though in general I like to see undefeated streaks continue. It's not like Chicago or Seattle are going to catch up . Maybe I'll want to root for one team or the other by game time.

Audit: Brett Favre was paid $1.1M in Mississippi welfare funds for appearances he didn't make

If true:

Brett Favre
Mississippi Department of Human Services
Mississippi Community Education Center

Ongoing scandal:

Brett Favre facing lawsuit if he doesn't repay $828K in Mississippi welfare funds, state auditor says

Too many hits to the head,
Maybe.
scumbag
Yep.
or a combo?
Maybe.

He's tarnishing his already sketchy legacy.
Yep.

And we can add RWNJ.

Update:

Brett Favre repays $600,000 to Mississippi in welfare case, still owes $228,000 in interest

RWNJs don't pay no stinkin' interest to socialist govt.

TD, roughing the passer penalty enforced on the kickoff, won the game - I think he'll take it.

... The image captured on Fox before going to break will no doubt be used as an internet meme for some time. "Man, the internet is undefeated," Rodgers, who said he had seen the image, said after the game....

Scumier and more scumier.

Brett Favre, Mississippi auditor feud on Twitter over remaining interest from welfare case

My early TV choices are:
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns
Only the Browns barely have a winning record, and collectively these 4 teams are 50-50.
Go Panthers. Fuck, you know there will be lots of tomahawk chopping.

The late afternoon game is better:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-1 at New Orleans Saints 4-2
Go Saints!

Night:
Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings
Go Vikings!

Mon:
NY Giants at Kansas City
More losers, go Giants!

Also, go:
@Buffalo > Miami. Buffalo is favored by 14.5!
@Detroit > Philadelphia. Gotta win sometime, right?
@NY Jets > Cincinnati. Yeah, right. Cincinnati is favored by 11.5.
@Seattle > Jacksonville. Another loser game.
@Denver > Snyder. Of course.

Thanks for leaving the Bears out, it's where they belong.

Their chances are a little improved, Nagy isn't coaching due to covid.
