I can't believe I missed this. But Urinating Tree roasted the Washington Redskins in a comical video. The clip of clueless Bruce Allen doing the line , “The culture is actually damn good" repeatedly is pretty awesome.

How Allen got and kept this job is amazing for just how terrible he really was.
- From being GM of Tampa Bay and Washington since 2004 ; none of his teams ever won a playoff game.
- Washington in his period of President/GM ; had a record of 62-97-1 .
- His winning percentage in this period was .391. And his teams had had 5 last place finishes.
Snyder seemed to get the hint finally that Allen was clueless and finally sent him packing after the season ended.

There's... water there. Where are they planning on putting the fans, on party pontoon boats, or...?

Wait! Seriously? That's crazy, and not in a good way!

It appears since Vegas is a "show city" in a way they plan on putting players on a boat and driving them over after every 1st rd draft pick. Which will be a comical silly show to do.

"OOOH, I get to go to the Ginger Hammer's Pool Party!"
Come on, man. You're the NFL. Don't lower yourself to being an MTV Spring Break party.
Pretty funny and very Vegas. They pretty much try to be everything except a dismal desert with nothing to offer, and to subvert any expectations in the name of being able to cite ridiculous contrasts. The only question is "how over the top will they go?"
Just have escorts, lines of coke, and betting on each round.
Teach the kids what they get to do when they play in Vegas.
In surprising NFL news Eli Manning has announced his retirement after 16 seasons. Its been said Eli would have found it hard to land on a team as a starter due to a big number of free agent QBs.
Rather than become a backup QB , Manning has chosen retirement.
The right move for Eli IMO
He had a helluva run. Slayed the Dragon twice in the SB.
Be interesting to see if next season some team that thinks they have a chance has their QB go down and they lure Eli out of retirement much like Jay Cutler a few years. Probably go about as well as the Jay Cutler experiment did to.

Which is why I don’t think Eli will opt to be somebody’s hired gun for a playoff push. Meanwhile, does Manning have the stats to be enshrined in Canton?
He beat the best coach, QB, and team of the last 20 years at the big dance. Twice. He should go in.

He will go in like Rothlisberger will go in. The big ?? mark one is Phillip Rivers. Who sadly with those other 2 in the 2004 QB Class. He has better numbers than Eli Manning and next season if he starts he should pass the 400 TD career mark. But does he go in after never winning a Super Bowl or making it far in playoffs ?

Eli currently ranks 7th in completions, 6th in pass attempts, 7th in passing yards, and 7th in passing TDs in NFL history. I am sure he will be moved down the list on some of those by the time he is eligible to go in by some current up and coming QBs, but he will still have been top 10 all time in just about every passing stat plus has 2 Super Bowl wins (and Super Bowl MVPs) on his resume, so I think he is a sure bet to get in, maybe not first ballot as he was a vanilla player amassing those stats without much flair outside of those Super Bowl wins, but he will get in. I was never a fan, but his body of work is good enough to get in.
