Hopefully it’s profitable because the NFL is bound to send their team of attorneys after him. The Redskins are such a fucking dumpster fire.

It has begun:

...“The language used in the video runs counter to our values at the Commanders organization. We have suspended the employee pending an internal investigation and will reserve further comment at this time,” the team said in a statement...

Potentially interesting to follow this, I think:

Ezekiel Elliott started only five games for the Patriots last season, which came in the final five games when Rhamondre Stevenson went down with a high-ankle sprain. Elliott returned to the Cowboys this offseason, and by default, he will start the season as RB1.

The Cowboys list Elliott as the starting running back on their depth chart, and coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Wednesday that he approved it.

“Hey, let’s be honest. You don’t just play with 11 on offense or defense,” McCarthy said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “So, I mean usually closer to 14 guys you would consider starters. And this thing even goes further than the depth chart because when you want to announce an offense or announce the defense, teams I’ve been a part of you never just announce 11 guys. So I think it’s a product of that. So it’ll take more than one running back, too. That’s just not the way we want to play. I don’t want to get into rotation. We can talk more about this next week, but those guys will all play.”...

Cowboys list Ezekiel Elliott as RB1, but will he lead the team in rushing?

...Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports the league sent a memo to clubs Wednesday with some clarifications of the rules, but no substantive changes are expected before or during the 2024 season.

Among the tweaks, the ball must be kicked off a tee expect on a declared onside kick ,and teams can elect to tack on penalty yardage for certain fouls to the end of the play rather than re-kicking. The league also clarified an alignment issue...

The 2024 NFL season kicks off Thursday night when the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs face off at home against the Baltimore Ravens. And with the explosion of legal sports betting across the United States, many football fans will be glued to their screens with their money on the line.

The American Gaming Association estimates that a record $35 billion will be bet on NFL games this season, far outpacing the $26.7 billion Americans gambled last season. The AGA notes that three additional states — Maine, North Carolina, and Vermont — have each recently launched new legal sports betting markets.

Sports betting has been on the rise since a federal law banning it was struck down in 2018, returning the decision to individual states. Ted Jenkin is president of the consulting firm Exit Stage Left Advisors, and he told Scripps News that many of the states that have chosen to legalize sports betting are doing it for one reason: money.

"There are roughly 38 states right now — including the District of Columbia — where sports betting is actually legalized, two states where it's in legislation right now, and ten states where it's not," Jenkin explained...

I reject this premise because I reject the term homophobic and all the other faggoty "phobic" words. There is rarely any fear when phobic is used.

People like to joke about homo stuff because it's funny. Not scared. Some people just find man on man ass sex to be gross. Not scared. Others reject homo stuff on religious grounds. Not scared.

I am betting that all these dumb black players fit one or more of these three and are in no manner fearful of rainbow warriors.


If I were hogtied in a bar in P-town with a ball gag in my mouth and my ass cheeks pried apart, THEN I might be considered homophobic. Very scared.

Brother, the message board is a dying art form. We need to cast a wide net to compete with socials and Reddit. The ignore feature is nice, though, if you ever get tired of hilariously shitting on them. For all of our sakes, we hope you don’t.

Too late; already put the filthy fucking faggot on ignore.

DeAndre Hopkins injured his left knee July 31, and word then was that he would miss 4-6 weeks. The Titans receiver revealed Thursday that he tore his medial collateral ligament but did not require surgery.

He plans to play through the injury.

“I had the MCL tear maybe four and a half, five weeks ago so the thing about those is it takes a whole year for them to heal,” Hopkins told Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com. “Obviously, it’s pain at that point.”

Hopkins wouldn’t say whether his injury might later require surgery, which would take him out for 2-3 months.

“I don’t like speaking like that; I’m going to let you speak that,” he said, laughing...

...General Manager John Lynch said on KNBR Friday that McCaffrey, who is listed with an Achilles issue in addition to the calf, “is doing great” and looks like himself when he’s on the practice field. Lynch said that leaves him confident that the running back will be good to go against the Jets.

“Obviously we want to see him progress through the week, but he takes tremendous care of his body. He’ll be out there and ready to roll,” Lynch said...
