Safety first. Wear a helmet.
I was thinking Reno 911 but thought, nah, that’s obscure……went to go post something in TI
Fucking laughing now
Shhhh, I’m an obscure muthafkr when it suits me.

tKelly Bell Band always fucking rocked. Used to catch them up in Frederick at Old Town Tavern (had an apartment right up the street from there). yeah, yeah, i know everyone hates Balmer up here, but KBB was a big feature on Kirk, Mark and Lopez (98 Rock Baltimore) back in the day, that was my favorite morning show in the area until i moved to AZ in 2004.
chicks always taking off they shirts during certain songs when Bell said to, it was cray.
This guy used to play at the Zoo Bar ever Tuesday night, way back in the day. A 5-minute walk from my door, Always a good time.

Good small solo for my cuz in this one towards the end. Very talented…
…and goodnight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgRfZ9B1dWk
Surprised none of you know who the Kelly Bell Band is… anyway, that’s my cousin playing Sax. He’s amazing… played with some world famous musicians.
I’m diggin on Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius right now. Nice
Do any of you DC area people know this band?

Supergroup pays tribute to George Harrison. Prince demolishes it at the end.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y
I remember this
Prince was a beast on the guitar
He was awesome. I didn’t appreciate him until about 10-15 years ago. When I was young I thought he was all flash. It wasn’t till I was older that I saw the substance.
Bet you would like this Austin:

Love me some Bela.
Victor Wooten…
Also top 5
I couldn’t figure out what the pirate with the speak n’ spell was playing
It’s an electronic drum machine made into a well… a drum set you can play standing up
oh, cool – I always wanted to play drums with just my fingers. When I try to get my feet involved, I get screwed up.
Jeff Beck & Tal Wilkenfeld…awesome. Female Jaco
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMryWoRRqUc
Jeff Beck is awesome…
Sorry… Jaco she isn’t
She’s really good, though.
She is good… but Jaco is top 5 all time
Okay, while we’re having fun with music, I love this friggin’ song:

do you know the song “peggy-o”?
By Stapleton ?
it’s an old traditional ballad. more folk than country, as i know it. something in that video you posted remanded me of it. there are many great grateful dead versions of it. they are very folk/country when they wanna be.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xOgD8HuGRo
just close your eyes and let it wash over you.
Listening now . Never was a dead fan but It’s nice .
Never was a Dead fan? WHAT?
Followed those guys for a year before Jerry died. Don’t remember a ton of it
they were a shell of what they once were by then. i’ve never “followed them”, but saw just about every va and md show for several years. 25-30 shows, i’d guess.
“a shell”… i say that, but still they were great shows. just not like mid-70s shows.
Yea, they were… but the scene was still fun and if you’d eaten enough acid their shows were GREAT!
…and I was just out of high school so… it was worth it
I remember some pretty great renditions of Smokestack Lightning and Fire on the Mountain that changed my life (at least for that day)
what did one deadhead say to another when they ran out of pot?
I wouldn’t think they could talk through the crying… but maybe… these guys suck?
yup. kinda funny, but not true anymore. i can jump my mind right into that place w/o pot nowadays.
They really are the quintessential American folk rock band
You must have been in the zone …
If the zone was almost passed out from too many drugs then you hit the nail on the head
You been to the Hampton Coliseum then I guess. They played there quite a few times . people sleeping in tents all over the place
absolutely been there. called it “the spaceship”. slept in my car many a time in that mud parking lot.
I don’t think a whole lot of people clearly remember it . Wasn’t my thing .
thanks for listening. they cover “big river” by johnny cash, too. me and bobby mcgee (excellent version of that) and lots of folk/country songs.
I’ve heard them do Bobby McGee
Nice
He’s bad ass . 10 x more talented than anybody in his genre .
Didn’t sound like the twangy pop garbage I’ve come to despise about today’s country music
That’s right . Everything he does is very good to incredible .

i hope they figure out a better way to do replay.
i like replay. i want to get the calls right. everytime i look at a replay i can tell in 1 or 2 replays, maybe a third for a difficult play, and 10-15 seconds what the correct call is. why the heck does it take another minute or 2 or 3 for the refs to sort it all out?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
i don’t know…. i think it drives viewers away.
…but it allows for more commercials. And them things are EXPENSIVE!
i change channels when they get bogged down in replay nonsense.
I typically DVR… but companies pay for commercials… not viewers
Wasn’t it going to a booth this year?
The other question you need to ask is… after you can tell the call, can you also spot the ball and the clock in 10-15 seconds?
i think all that clock and balls stuff can be figured out much quicker than it is.
Depends on the situation… what if the guy caught the ball (supposedly) and then runs another 20 yards, blah blah blah. Then it gets challenged. IF the ball ends up hitting the ground then you have to definitively spot where and when the ball hit the ground. Not defending the process because it’s maddening… but I can see where it’s more complicated than one might think on the surface.
there are some complex cases that might, possibly, maybe require a full 30 seconds. most don’t, imo. and with the gang in ny approach different people could be watching for different things, just like different refs look for different things during a play.
Also, I’m not an AV guy but it must take a while to be able to isolate the correct shots and make them manipulative by the ref so he can get these three aspects correct.
See y’all tomorrow, sleep sleep.
Later

We have a senior mechanical engineer at work that can’t use the new 3D CAD and gets lost with the company’s Maximo stuff, the other is a recent graduate, like 25/26 and can do anything with a computer but is severely lacking in experience. I have a blast working with the two of them together, cracks me up. Both great guys. The older is one of the best engineers I’ve ever worked with, a real pleasure as they can be intolerable.
well that didn’t work so well

My wife was hesitant about me introducing our daughter to technology. With Google’s family link and programs like that, I’m fine with it. I encourage her to learn. If you keep it away from your kids, they’ll be way behind the curve.
They’ll also be super curious and fascinated
If held back?
Buck passed out.
Be glad when the Kirk fuss is over, for better or for worse. Maybe then things will open up.
At what point does the money flip so we can spend on Zach Brown?
the clues will be if the Redskins attempt to sign anyone between now and tag day
For Kirk, or both?
Is tag day when the money resets, or before. I used to know this, the end of their fiscal year, or whatever.
Feb 20 – Mar 6 is tag period
Mar 14 clock reset and rule of 51 starts
Oof, it seems like forever, but it’ll go by before we know it.
So… when does this place publish an offseason calendar for us lazy hamsters

Not sure if this guy has been mentioned; a sleeper rb.
Tennessee junior RB John Kelly will declare for the 2018 NFL Draft.
This is an unfortunate turn of events for new Vols HC Jeremy Pruitt. We’d heard Kelly was leaning towards declaring earlier in the campaign, though we thought he might have a change of heart due to a misdemeanor marijuana possession citation in October and a poor second half as Tennessee’s offense cratered amid all the Butch Jones drama. The 5-foot-9, 212-pound Kelly isn’t a burner, which will hurt his draft positioning, but he is extremely tough and versatile. Kelly was a broken tackle machine at Tennessee who provided value in the passing game. He finished with 778 yards rushing and nine touchdowns and a 37-299-0 receiving line in 2017 after stepping into the RB1 role. Kelly’s stock is heavily dependent on his testing numbers and interviews. Amid a deep RB class, he looks like a Day 3 pick that could potentially slip out of the draft altogether if his tests are poor
Seems like we have guys like that…
I think his vision is better. I’ve seen him on tv a couple of times and he makes really good reads
Good vision doesn’t help you a whole lot if your line can’t run block

Bruce Allen may be an ass…but he’s a shrewd businessman and won’t be bullied by Kirk or his agent.
Well I don’t agree with the “bully” comment. You admire Bruce for being a “shrewd businessman” but not the player who beat him at his own game. Got ya.
The agent beat him. He steered Kirk correctly
Indeed, they’ve played it beautifully. And it’s hard to imagine they’ll misstep now.
Yes. His agent is in a negotiating heaven . Almost unprecedented territory .
I’ve said it before, Kirk’s agent is trying to change the way contracts are done for top players. Revis started the trend of playing on guaranteed $$ for the length of the contract, and I believe this is the template this agent is using. It wouldn’t surprise me if Kirk sign a mid-term deal with the majority of it guaranteed.
I’d start with…’Well Mike, your client is $44 million richer and we’ve got nothing to show for it. Tell you what though, if you kiss my ass, I’ll buy him a cake that says good luck in Cleveland’
And Cousins will say “Thank you very much, I really appreciate all your support. It’s been an honor to have been your QB the last 3 years. I wish nothing but the best for you”.
You’re talking about the same guy that shoved a ref at a charity ball game.
Laughing… oh Kirk is such a BAD person…
Secret psycho
I mean, he still has the creeper conversion van of his, for a reason.
You have issues k0n…
Hey now. I’m working on them. Progress is slow. But it’s still progress.

8:51 PM EST
Just a quick pit-stop to drop the kids off at the pool on my back to the Hog Sty.
Well, shoot, I was ‘cappin. Seems like a good spot…
I think the Redskins should offer Cousins whatever they think he’s worth and let the cards fall where they may. I think this is what BA will do. He’s a CAP and contracts guy in the end.
I think so too. He’ll likely leave because of it
He’s gonna turn it down .
Fuck him then.
That’s definitely possible but the Redskins have to sleep in the bed they made. If they don’t think Cousins is worth what others will pay him, then they just have to move on.
They do . I don’t think KC will sign any LTD with them , unless it was ridiculous. I don’t think he wants to be there . If that’s indeed the case , there’s nothing they can do .
outside of another 1 year deal which would be stupid .
Is anyone from hogsty going to the Senior Bowl?
Buck is a Senior and he’s probly on the Bowl as we speak. Nah, but seriously, not I.
Senior in HS maybe, GED Program.
LOL , I just hope Gruden goes .
tough bunch
Don’t ya’ll remember peeps raising hell last year bout the senior bowl ? Claimed nobody went .
I was there…. damned if I remember it though. Woke up in a super8 with Russini. – Scot
I don’t blame him.
Listened to Cooley this morning. He said that the Skins aren’t will to go 7% above Stafford’s deal (projected cap increase), then they should let Kirk go. I previously suggested that the team should use the transition tag, but have since learned the team would be assed out if they didn’t match the offer. Let him go into free agency…he may just come back
what do you mean “assed out ” ? How is it any different than just moving on
Draft pick if they let him hit free agency
Oh , ok .
You know what it means.

Apparently Frosted Flakes is to generic of a term to be trademarked so General Mills said Fuck it.
Still got your Cereal Pants on? Because General Mills also dropped new Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes all over our faces today. The cereal combines Lucky Charm marshmallows with frosted corn flakes and a hint of tiger’s blood, because they absolutely EVISCERATED Tony the Tiger when they made this cereal. Apparently “Frosted Flakes” is too generic a term to be trademarked. 😅 General Mills even went with a blue box and white font, just like Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. It really does seem like a big bowl of 🖕 aimed at Kellogg’s, but what do I know? (Nothing.)
AKA…trolling
Post of the day!
Turns out….frosted flakes is not trademarked. General Mills can use it without consequence.
We except your retraction.

See the one where he’s swilling down Carolina Reapers and a 5th of Fireball at the same time? Fuckers puking everywhere
and he chases it with a 5th of whiskey . Fireball whiskey .
How about it kOn , you down for a chocolate Butah ?

If I remember correctly, the kids went batshit crazy for a box of that a few months ago, then decided it wasn’t good.
Holy shit I was looking for a snack and just found a box of Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes in the pantry. Yes you read that correctly this is Frosted Flakes with Luck Charms marshmallows mixed in. This must be a new thing combining two cereals into one box.
Lucky Charms is General Mills. Frosted Flakes is Kellogs.
That’s all I’ve got.
Well somehow they combined the two in one box.

Complete opposite here . 65 degrees , snow is gone .
dude… weather reporting 101: you have to say where you are. (hence my “in-fallschurch”)
just walked the dog and a jogger passed me. he was not wearing a shirt. it’s a balmy 63 degrees here in the sleepy hollow part of falls church.

Yeah. It’s basically perfect here all the time. I’m tired of it, thus, looking at homes to rent in MD.
San Fran has some shit weather
True. But Hayward doesn’t – except it’s gotten a lot hotter around here in the summertime than it was back when the homes were built without AC.

Guys, talk about what you want to talk about, including race. That’s fine. But when it starts getting ugly, it’s going to come to a screeching halt. I haven’t seen that in the past few comments, but pls don’t let it get to that point. Racial slurs are one of the very, very few things – maybe the only thing – that won’t fly here.
But we are Redskins fans.

Trump: Ban all Muslims from entering the country!
Constitution: You can’t do that, sir, we guarantee freedom of religion. It’s one of the founding principles.
Trump: Fine. How about banning brown people countries?
Take that shit back to the rag homie
“A person briefed on the meeting told CNN that Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin was running through a proposal listing countries that would be covered by TPS protections in exchange for ending the visa lottery. The person said when Durbin got to Haiti, Trump began to ask why we want people from Haiti in the US and asked why we want more Africans.
The President then said, according to this person, why do we want all these people from “shithole countries” coming here — and added that the US should get more people from countries like Norway.”
I like you, Scamp. But sometimes I’m gonna say things you don’t like. It’s okay.
I don’t mind people saying things I don’t like. I guess I was just jaded hoping this could be a brave, new blog… without the shackles of politics and idiocy…
but insanity is conversing with the same bunch of douche bags and expecting different results. But I will refrain… 😉
Unless we’re gonna talk about Deuce Gruden until there’s a new post, other things will find their way in here. As long as people don’t shit on each other for having different beliefs or philosophies, things should be fine.
You and Steve are two of my favorite people I’ve met through Redskins blogs, and I hardly agree with either of you on anything. It can be done!
I choose to refrain from politics, race and religion here. Like I said yesterday, my self imposed rules are, in no way, intended to guide anyone else in their conversational endeavors.
Excellent 🙂 I’mma post about what I want to post about then 😛
pot… meet kettle.
I’m sorry Walter… did you notice me talking politics here?
No, I don’t think you did…
phrases like “Oh for fucks sake… the thing that made the last blog so combative has now made it’s way here
and
“Can’t we all just get along?”?
are funny from you.
Ok Walter… whatever you say homie
I don’t want an interview “just for the experience”. I want a “job”.
Big picture: Forcing teams to interview minority candidates results in more minority candidates getting their name in the discussion of who would make a good head coach. There are now 8 minority HCs in the NFL. As you say, the rule is not necessarily great for the minority candidate being interviewed for a job that is already someone else’s, but in the long term, it is having the desired effect of getting minorities into head coach roles.
You’ve never applied for a position for the experience of the process, even though you knew you weren’t likely to be a top candidate? I did a couple of time, was VERY helpful down the road. One, I was fortunate to make a good impression and two, it helped me prepare.
Great point and I recommend that as well. Going on in interview for a gig you are pretty sure you wont get is great practice whereas you will become comfortable with the process, hear a lot of the same questions and be in position to speak to those and other questions with greater ease, etc. Going on an interview is never a bad idea because smart organizations always have a spot for a great hire, even if it’s not the position you initially came in to interview for.
No, I haven’t.
I haven’t either.
Yes, there are shit-hole countries, but where it’s a racist statement is that he singled out African and Caribbean countries…essentially countries with black people. There are shit-hole countries all over the world with people of ALL colors. Just like he singled out NFL players, who happen to be mostly black as “sons of bitches”.
That’s fine Rick. You and many here are predisposed to wanting to point out how racist the POTUS is. Go for it broseph. I gotta say though, you are probably just putting undue stress on yourself. You should smoke a bowl.
I call it like I see it bruh. Not sure why people cannot and will not believe that it’s possible. He gets a pass. “Teflon Don”.
Some take the guy literally and don’t take him seriously.
Others take him seriously, just not literally.
I’d fall into the latter and you’d be more of the former.
I believe in the power of words. He speaks what he thinks. Yes, I am the former. Maya Angelou had a famous quote: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”.
Cool. So when you meet Trump, let me know what he showed you in terms of an actual, real-life first impression.
Hope I never do….but if I did I’d respect the position
There is a problem larger than the fact that our president is racist… that problem is that roughly 35% of the country doesn’t seem to be bothered by it.
BINGO! ^^^ …and that’s a problem.
Racism is so very much alive in this country.
Yes, it is.
So it’s racist for the raiders to hire Jon Gruen as there coach?
I’m talking about Trump’s comments.
Well he is a pathetic piece of shit.
They are shit hole countries, though. So, yeah. Let’s focus on Americans. Why don’t we do that? Foreign folk are welcome here but we have a process. Right?
The last thing I want is an interview knowing good and well you’re not going to hire me. That’s more insulting than passing me over.
Thats what happens when you have a rule like this, owners are going to hire who they want.
Once again, though, the Rooney Rule is less about that specific hiring instance, and more about making sure minority candidates are getting looked at in general.
Also, it’s working.
Agreed bur you can;t get mad when this happens because it’s going to happen.
I don’t think anyone’s mad. If the Raiders didn’t follow the process, though, there will be consequences… fine of some sort.
They did follow the process they interviewed two minority candidates, even if they were token interviews.
The process is more complicated than “interview a candidate”, or it could be handed out on a business card.
There’s a communication process where they need to show their work. It came up in the discussions when we hired Shanahan.
Actually no its not you just need to interview a minority candidate.
I think many see that the advantage is the actual interview experience. There is some benefit to that, so that when their real opportunity comes up, they are better prepared.
Ah, the “ceremonial nod”. Best interview you can participate in if you really believe you earned the gig. But yeah, I could see how that might make you feel.
I really Hope Jake66 gets the call this year. I get that there are so many players worthy of the HOF who are not in……but screw them. PUT JAKE IN THE HALL!
And while you are at it, the fact that Brian Mitchell is not even afforded consideration makes me want to go punch a child.
Jacoby and Jerry Smith are two serious oversights.
Jerry Smith. Jesus how could I leave him out? Smith will get in at some point. The NFL will make that “happen” so they can say, “See what kind of lig we are?” And even if that’s what it takes, fine. I just hope he gets the honor he deserves.
We’ve had Jacoby on the show twice, and talked to him off the air. He won’t say it publicly, but he really wants to get in. Unfortunately, he’s probably going to split the vote with Tony Boselli again this year, which will put him in the senior committee.
In a bipartisan meeting on immigration policy, Trump asked why he should accept immigrants from “shit hole” countries like Haiti and those in Africa, rather than nice immigrants from Norway.
Well….if you think there’s anything wrong with what he said, you’re considered “liberal”.
Depends on who’s considering.
Not just “liberal” – libbie cuck SJW snowflake retard.
LOL!
Norwegians want to migrate here?
The immigrants Trump wants (educated white people) already live in countries with better social programs. They don’t need or want to move here.
Ikr
The rats do. They end up in Baltimore.
Hey, I’m Norwegian. Or at least 50%. Will they give me points for that? A helmet sticker?
I’m also Norwegian, ¼ anyway.

LOL, me too. Can’t drive the really cool sports cars. My Tacoma works well though.
My Mother’s father was 6’6″ in his heyday.
so D_C why do you think Ronnie Harrison is a Day 1 pick?
he struggles in coverage against better caliber receivers
he’s not going to play FS in the NFL, he’s going to be a SS
he’s going to be a good player maybe not Collins good
I see him going in the 34-40 range
That was just based on where I’ve seen others rank him, and some mock drafts. Matt Miller from Bleacher has him as his 12th or 13th best player overall. Some mocks have him going late first and others in the 2nd. Can’t say I’ve spent much time studying him myself.
ok gotcha
I would not mind him as our 2nd round pick
If anyone had “Shithole countries” on your Presidential Phrases Bingo cards, go ahead and mark that off.
damn I have “Countries run by an Asshat”
hahaha, jesus. man, i hate that sumbitch.
I don’t hate him, but I have no respect for him. Which is probably worse all things considered.
I hated Dick Cheney. I agree with Sand – I don’t hate Trump, he’s just not presidential material. Why the GOP thought he was qualified to run on their ticket remains a mystery to me.
Cheney should be in prison.
Well, he kept winning? And he ran through 16 qualified GOP candidates like a hot knife through butter.
That’s why.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think the Dems should have let Bernie run on their ticket, either. Neither Bernie nor Donald had much in common with the parties they ran for.
Jeez
There are 43 comments on that TI post and it’s been up for 4 hours and most of those post are from guys posting here.
I’ve yet to double dip, unless likes count.
Sorry here is the story.
Raiders interviewed Tee Martin and Bobby Johnson to comply with Rooney Rule
As if it wasn’t clear that the Raiders had no regard or serious interest in the Rooney Rule, the candidates they interviewed so they could rubber stamp the Jon Gruden hiring made it apparent.
General Manager Reggie McKenzie said during Gruden’s introductory press conference that he interviewed tight ends coach Bobby Johnson and Southern Cal offensive coordinator Tee Martin to comply with the league’s rule that mandates minority candidates for head coaching jobs.
Fritz Pollard Alliance, and BSPN-type talking heads are going to bitch and moan about it anyway.
Why is it bitching and moaning? They just want to make sure the process was followed?
The Pollard Alliance actually does a pretty good job with this.
Martin and Johnson got interviewed before Gruden was hired. end of story. yet the Alliance wants an investigation, and several articles about how the Raiders skirted the process have been put out, when the Raiders didn’t skirt the process.
I believe there is a process that is supposed to be followed, which includes notifying the alliance ahead of time, not telling them afterward “Oh… yeah, we interviewed these guys, ask them.”
I think the problem is that any time a team knows who they want to hire, they have to interview minority candidates to comply with the Rooney Rule. Those interviews are never real and I suspect both sides know this. That will always be a sham in that sense; they are meaningless in that the candaidate is only being interviewed to comply with the rule because the team already knows who it is going to hire. And, there’s nothing that can be done about that because as with many employers when you are making a change, many time you already know who you take that position.
However, the minority candidates do get the interview experience which can help them later when they are in fact a legit candidate for the position.
Kimberley Martin’s not happy

Soooo… any RGIII news?
LOL
Did you see Squinns breach? Bout did a back flip!
Lol, just looked.
NFL has no rule or policy regarding hiring a new coach before firing the old one
so if you want to have 3 head coaches go right ahead
Yes but actually reaching an agreement with one could run afoul of the Rooney Rule, which the Raiders essentially skirted in this instance.
it is truly a rule or more of a guideline?
is the NFL going to penalize Oakland for the hire?
It’s a rule, but there has been a lot of grey area around what processes do or don’t comply with the rule since it’s inception.
Did Oakland interview any minority candidates for the HC position (even if they never had any intention of actually considering the candidates, which is what most teams are doing when they know who they want to hire but have to comply with the Rooney Rule)?
They said they interviewed two.
Names?
Dee Smith was one.
Dee Snyder was the other.

PITTSBURGH — At age 25 and fresh off a first-team All-Pro season, Le’Veon Bell is putting his own football future in question.
The Pittsburgh Steelers running back told ESPN that he’s prepared to sit out a season, or even retire, if franchise tagged for the second consecutive year.
“I hope it doesn’t come to that, but I would definitely consider it,” he said before Thursday’s practice.
Bell played on a $12.1 million franchise tag in 2017, and that number is projected to increase to around $14.5 million for next season. Teams can tag a player between Feb. 20 and March 6, after which they would have until July 16 at 4 p.m. ET to work out a long-term contract.
“Just get the numbers straight, exactly where we want them. I’m not going to settle for anything. I know what I do and what I bring to the table. I’m not going out here getting the ball 400 times if I’m not getting what I feel I’m valued at.”
Le’Veon Bell
Bell doesn’t sound as eager as Kirk to go year to year with massive paychecks but no guaranteed future.
RB’s take much more of a beating for much less money. Typically have a shorter career.
Yup
26 mil in 2 years sounds like a guaranteed future to me. not kirk-cousins-level guaranteed, but still generational wealth-type guaranteed.
This is, of course, a steaming pile of hot garbage. I don’t think even Bell himself believes that he’s going to turn down $14.5M because he’s insulted that it’s only for 1 year.
Listening to Sabbath’s 1st LP, it’s is sooo good. I remember buying it from Giant Music in Falls Church when in came out in the USA, June ’70. I was 13. Wore out a couple copies over the years.
Man, you’re old….
And, I’m an asshole….
Again… this is not all about YOU.
I’m also retired. Seven years ago. So up yours, Gomer.
And yes, at 60 I guess I am! Don’t tell anybody.
…and get off my cloud, er, lawn.
I went to high school at George Mason, right there by the Giant. That Giant was the grocery store we went to all the time.

What questions would you ask DeMaurice Smith?
1. Do you think there is a comprise set of things that the players would agree to in order to have a 17 game season such as fewer preseason games, additional bye week, expanded roster?
F/U if positive answer: Are there thing the players would not compromise on?
F/U if negative answer: Don’t you think that would expand the cap putting more money in players pockets?
2. How do you respond to the coaches and some players who say the limits on session with coaches has limited player development?
F/U Would there be some flexibility on say having more non-contact, film sessions?
have a few more, but I don’t want Alex or Steve to steal all my best stuff (j/k guys)
Is removing pot from banned substances list non negotiable?

Minkah Fitzpatrick declared.
Mmmmwwaaaahahhaha.

Lotta talent for this upcoming draft
This cats a top ten talent
Most definitely. But then, so was Jon Allen….
That he is. Amazing instincts too.
His backfield mate, Ronnie Harrison, also declared today. Not quite up to Minkah’s level, but probably a Day 1 guy too.
“backfield mate”? Really?
Ronnie is not going round 1
maybe day 2 guy
definitely day 3
Yay!
Hard to pass up on his potential at the position if he’s still on the board in the 1st. Would have to clinch something tight and keep faith that defensive lineman stick around in later rounds.
this is a test. had this been an actual post there would have been poignant commentary or witty banter. this is only a test.

Dee Smith….it’s possible. I’ve made magic happen before with these interviews.
Cool. How about Dee Snyder while your at it? He’s a good interview.
So… NPI is found out to be an old man afraid of change?
Inttersting…
Run with it
I really like the fact that you can see who likes your comments.
Anyone that likes a comment that flies in the face of my spot on opinions, I’m put’n the mofos on blast.

There, I just voted your ass down. LOL
Do you have to click on the like button to see that like I do?
Yes, then just unlike your own post.
I thought it was a bad thing to self like? Don’t you go blind or something?
Did Buck delete his posts?
Can you do that and how the hell we have figured that out.
He was going for a drive with Hank and a little smoke.
It’s all an act. Buck has mad hacking skilz.
I think you can. Or is it just because I’m a mod.
Yeah, I can delete my own stuff.
You can. Team Captain.
Best we can do is edit down to a .
Try looking at that little arrow to the right of your post… you can delete from there.
Well how about that.

I’ve seen a few disappear, but return after a refresh.
Buck is an IT Master. He has them set up on timers. He hasn’t actually posted anything on the internet since 1998, he just anticipated where the traffic would be, what people would be discussing on that day, and scheduled his comments accordingly.
Kelly, you need rest. Not porn. Though, if you work it right, you can do both.
Sleep porn is probably a thing
Wait, is that porn you somehow watch in your sleep, or porn weirdos like of watching others sleep. Because yes both are a thing.
So was NPI banned from this place, or he just can’t stand posting where his self-likes are visible?
I’ve noticed a severe “correction” in like counts, and I still hand them out like candy on Halloween.
Indeed. Part of it’s probably that the arrows are less obvious.
Not to downplay a like, I feel like it communicates my pov better. Or enthusiasm….
We haven’t banned anyone yet.
He was posting here the other day. And now he’s posting over at TI. Maybe his mother’s firewall caught up with this site!

Hey the head of the Arena Football League’s players union just re-tweeted something I posted and replied to it, I don’t even follow him.
oooOOOOoooohh… fancy
Look, I realize THS is a long way from getting Dee Smith on our show as a guest. I still don’t know how I ended up with Joe Jacoby’s cell phone number.
if only you knew someone who knows Dee’s asst at the NFLPA
If I knew that person I’d settle for the assistant

we’ve had issues with Youtube getting blocked
but some vendor load their training videos to Youtube as a low-maint distribution method
so we buy their software product and then can’t watch any of the training videos unless the vendor has created its own channel which can be specifically exempted
We block streaming sites for most employees of for nothing eye than to preserve bandwidth
Yes in the live AV world I’ve run into this problem often. IT loves to block youtube and I’d normally understand, but I always have to push for exemptions on whatever PC’s we are using for the AV work.
Have you tried Vimeo? Better quality compression than Youtube, but far fewer users.
Wire’s got no excuse for not migrating. He’s retired.
He’s got 450,000 post points he needs to use! He’s almost got enough to get that Post coffee mug
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Not if you dock him for the what the FUCK facts and onion.
Yea, his stuff is funny… but not often football related
Well, you know I got no qualms with that. Especially in the off season.
No problem with it… but he rarely interacts. He just posts stuff and runs. So it won’t matter to him about the actual blog content or peeps interaction
…
Slick Rick layin’ it down, nice!
A great point that was made by Sheehan yesterday. Yes, Gruden has flaws, but who are you gonna get. When you look at the recent coaching hires, can you say there are any that are better except for his brother Jon.
Possibly Matt PAtricia
Possibly Sean McVay. Possibly Doug Pederson.
Possibly Mike Zimmer
Possibly Dan Quinn
so I guess “soon” meant today, once you figured out that people noticed the lack of updates for 9 days
so Moe, Wire, NAVI and whoever else is blocked at work have something to enjoy today
If you can call it that… it’s another turd of an article
I haven’t read it. WaPo wants me to clear cookies again and I’m tired of it.
But just yesterday you were complaining about not having to clear cookies… what gives?
Also, I didn’t read it either… it’s just obvious
Just an article saying Skins will not play in London this year.
You still post thee more than they do.
feel sad for NAVI, he’s the kid whose Mom won’t let him come out and play with the rest of the neighborhood kids for no good reason
Is it blocked at his work?
yes, several people have said that
he’s one for sure
Put it on your fucking phone and quit crying
once my work figures it out, I’m sure I’ll join them
if his building is like mine, no cell reception on non-work phones
Sounds like you guys work for a bunch of commies
Secure work place
they are talking about adding an open wireless connect for phones and such because all the M-kids cry because they can’t check their apps every 5 minutes
and Lord knows we got to keep the participation trophy winners happy
I’m confused somehow work sites are blocking this little place?
depends on what network defender products, cloud services they use
you may get listed as a sports/entertainment site which some companies elect to block for productivity purposes
WaPo gets a whitelist pass because it’s a “news” site
I’m just shocked a small outfit like us would get picked up by anyones net.
It may be the blog software stuff.
Our WiFi let’s it through.
Allot of content filters will block Disquss because it’s not work related

NFL: There’s no rule or policy preventing a team from striking deal with new coach before firing current one
And there shouldn’t be.
Shouldn’t be.
But it’s a shitty thing to do…. I mean we did it to Zorn with Shanny, that’s how shitty it is to do that to a guy, it’s Drunk Dan Snyder level dickholeness.
Zorn should have never been a coach in the first place and he helped get Vinny fired. Zorn ws gone no matter who we hired.
Don’t ruin the joke Flounder!
Too late

Casserly with some good stuff on Zach Brown
Good stuff from Casserly. Brown has faults as a player, but he’s without a doubt a must re-sign free agents.
I agree, but I’d like to upgrade Foster.
I think foster is better than people give him credit for
Nobody says he’s bad, idt, just looking for speed.
This is EXACTLY what I meant ^^^.
What position don’t we want to upgrade, lol.
Yes, Brown with a guy that can cover……. woowee
= Bobby Wagner.
They should resign Brown and Foster
plus draft a guy earlier that is better than Spaight and Compton
I agree, noone. Foster is not perfect, but he played well. And he can call the signals. Then draft an upgrade who can play 3rd down
You still plan on doing an article on the coaching staff?
Relax partner, they got this.
No he was talking about it yesterday.
We’ll get it.
Client, “We will have coffee and pastries for tomorrows event so don’t feel like you need to eat or get caffeinated in the morning before you get here.”
Me, “If I don’t have caffeine before I come into the office tomorrow I’ll end up murdering someone on the metro.”
They’ll probably deserve it
I mean, we all kinda deserve it.
I took my family up to the zoo a few years back, parked in East Falls Church and rode in, I didn’t miss it one bit. Got a kick outta my wife and daughter’s reaction to the escalator at metro center, though.
Reaction? What, had it turned to stairs?
No, just wonderment. My wife is a country girl. My daughter loved it. Biggest escalator my wife had ever seen before that was probably in the mall.
Ah. Yes I’ve told a similar story once or twice, my wife had a friend of hers visit from the Texas panhandle, woman was in her 30’s had never used an escalator, needed a minute to figure it out.
Yeah, she understood the mechanics, they have them in JC Penny’s and whatnot. I was proud of my daughter, she functioned fine in the city, no hangups with culture shock. She has a great mind.
I forget how hard the culture shock is for some people. Only time I ever come close is visiting relatives in the burbs.
Yeah, my wife is/was as they say “country as fuck”. I’ve turned her on to a lot of stuff she never had a chance to experience. I’ve been all over this country, one side to the other and all points between, I love people, culture, that sort of thing.
was she a one stater? My best friend was living in Oklahoma and dated a girl who never had left the state. Literally spent the first 20 years of her life never even leaving the panhandle, the moved to OKC. But that’s it.
Pretty much, lived in Atlanta as a child (she’s damn sure a peach), out here the rest. My savior, or, exactly what I needed to ground myself, saved me from the “lost highway” so to speak.
My wife is afraid of escalators, but loves zoos. This should be fun.
Don’t tell her about it, sssshhhhhh! You’ll have a ball.
She doesn’t have to use the escalator to get there, just if you take the metro. With the little baby I’d think driving to the Zoo is easier.
Rick Snider and Darrell Green are talking about having a 40 yard dash foot race, with Snider being spotted 20 yards by Green.
This will be like when Chad Johnson raced a horse.
Green blows him into the side ditch at 30 yds, book it.
Can we get Dan Snyder in this, too?
He demands a 39 yard head start.
Is he as tall as THIS line?

I am still trying to figure out how Gustaf Skarsgard shares DNA with Sam Skarsgard, Alex Skarsgard and all the other Skarsgard family members. He looks very different from the rest of em, but may be a far better actor.
Maybe a generation back? Sometimes traits will be super unique and also skip generations.
They are all brothers, and think it’s same mom and dad, so it wouldn’t really be generational would it?
Like, he’s the only one that looks like Grandpa, or Uncle Leif, type thing.

Man, I had to work on a few things and came back to 165 new comments. This blog is smoking.
So Tom Brady thinks he can defeat “Father Time”….He’s so arrogant that he doesn’t know his history. Very fe pro athletes go out on top. They just can’t walk away. Ali couldn’t…Jordan couldn’t…Montana couldn’t….Favre couldn’t. Odds are that he will go out in a crumpled heap on a injury card on the football field.
Gisele would simply rub his back and tell him he’ll be ok. Dude can do whatever he wants. He’ll justify it and move on
That said he’s in the playoffs again with no signs of slowing…
He’d probably retire if they win. Payton showed us how it’s done (jingle)
When you look at the other things about Brady, is it shocking he would think that way?
Bama safety Ronnie Harrison announced he’s entering the draft. VG player.
he was on my list of dozen draftable guys in the AL-GA game
well the counter was at 6646 and I did a countdown from 20 to 1
the counter went to 6649…
their software is a joke compared to here
looks like it did the countdown twice
Yup, and I liked all of them.
It’s funny because this is freeware
From below, I think the Raiders made a mockery of the Rooney Rule.
Appears so. But what’s the penalty if found not in compliance? Fine? Draft pick? I wonder if it was a calculated risk and they said ‘F it.’
I think most teams do, because they start out with a favorite. In a way it’s very insulting to black candidates because the NFL forces teams to treat them like token blacks.
Most employers have a top target in mind when they set out to fill a position. That’s a reality. Do you think the Skins were really after anyone but Jay Gruden?
The Rooney Rule gives candidates to at least the oportunity get interview experience for when a realistic opportunity presents itself. And that’s all they would have gotten from Raiders as they already knew Jon Gruden was their man.
I object, your honor! This trial is a travesty. It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.
So whassup if WaPo starts updating TI again? Folks going to drift back or what?
I will. Back and forth….just go with the flow.

I’d prefer to just stay here. Going back and forth is a pain and the HogSty seems to value the Hamsters while the WaPo couldn’t give two shits.
Plus, I get to type shit.

I agree. Also, the blog software is much better than the piece of shit WaPo uses.
Ok here is the official info from Mike Hume
Due to turnover and NFL playoff coverage WaPo Sports is “tapped out of resources”. New Insider updates “coming back soon”

Is it sinking in to everyone that the insider will never be the same or even worse, no more? Have any of the older heads experimented with moving to a new blog before?
We had incidents like this before where there was a migration. Most the originals moved on and just keep up with each other on Facebook for the most part.
Yeah but that wasn’t because the Insider was dead like it is now.
No that happened naturally as people got older and too important like Danny Rouhier.
This is more like the Paywall migration where a bunch jumped to CSN for a while. Or the Jasno vs Larry fight that resulted in an exodus.
I think this time is for good.
La confora and Redskins announcer Larry?
Yes just before Jason left the post he got in a pissing contest with Larry Michael. Jason had called the league offices asking if some things Vinny said on his radio show would be violations of the whole, don’t talk about other teams players rules. The Skins used that as an opportunity to finally go after Jason, there were years of bad blood between the front office and him. Saying he was trying to get the team in trouble on purpose. So Larry attacked Jason on his TV show for 3 days in a row. It was like an old DJ war.
Shit. That’s some typical Redskins stuff right there. F’n Vinny lol
Think he meant ChRis LarRy
Who was Danny Rouhier on the blog?
Artmonktodasticks
Didn’t know that. F him
I don’t mean that in a bad way
He provided good insights back in the day. Is a nice dude the few times I’ve interacted face to face.
Yeah. No ill will towards him. Just, you know, F him in general
http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/275/725/9b5.gif
Why give loyalty when they have just stopped the insider with no explanation.
I have no idea……. status?
That episode of Futurama always gets me choked up. Futurama does that for me more than almost any TV show.

What about Fitzpatrick?
To me, black head coaches getting jobs is not the issue. They get jobs. To me, the statistic to look at is tenure. How long do they get compared to their white counterparts, and do they get other coaching gigs?
Sure. That’s fair to look at. That said I don’t think that most fans have a problem with blackQB’s or black coaches, sure a very small number might, but they are the people who also freak out when a non-WASP family moves in next door.
It’s called HYPE. Hype pays.

A guy like John Lynch going from the booth then front office is proof owners will always do wtf they want

If that were the case segregation would still exist. So i hope someone would check me if I did that.
Only if you let it.
Do people really think that the Raiders didn’t interview minority candidates to comply with the Rooney Rule? “Oooopps, we forgot to comply with this kinda important, big news rule that teams get accused of violating even when they fully complied….”
Sorry, but not buying it.
“go get me that Chief Groundsman….”
Which is a joke, btw
Especially when Gruden’s name has been tied to this story for weeks .
Owners are absolutely going to hire who they want . If they wanted less controversy they would be more discreet about it. I knew Davis was going to catch hell, he practically flaunted it . Obviously that makes the whole process disingenuous from the get go.
And more valuable.
we’ve heard the Jon Gruden rumors for weeks
Dog and pony show
The Raiders can never be accused of not having diversity in their organization.
Yeah , but i have my doubts McKenzie had any say so in this deal, but I don’t know .
Doesn’t matter.
Wasn’t Art Shell one of the first black HCs in the NFL?
The first
First in the modern era. Fritz Pollard was THE first.
You can’t be but so black of your name is Fritz
Not paying attention and I read this line as “I knew Davis was going to catch hell, he practically flatulent”
Assuming the Raiders are worth $2B they just gave Jon 5% of their value. That’s insane.
25 mil is nothing that pay players way more than that.
But to 1 guy. Guaranteed. This is how i know the NFL has zero concern of losing viewership or popularity. They are just fine.
All TV is losing viewership and consuming things in a different way.
Agree
Hell we are talking about given Cousins 30mil a year.
…makes no sense for the Raiders and Seahawks to fly around the world to play in London.
etrod • 38 minutes ago
The worst part of the Raiders situation is that Gruden and Del Rio have the same agent. The agent is the real dick bag here.
____________________
Del Rio was going to be fired anyway. Not sure there was much his agent could do for him there.
There was nothing his agent could do for him
the story is that Davis put out the feelers for Jon and was going to keep Del Rio if Jon wasn’t interested
If true, that is a really awkward position for the agent to be in.

if you want more minority head coaches then establish a training program at the league level and have some league paid intern position(s) on each NFL team
——————
I also think it would be beneficial to allow qualified minority candidates legitimate opportunities to become NFL GMs. I guarantee they would ensure qualified minority HC candidates at least get a shot. And not just because they may be black. They know a guy is equally qualified and deserves an interview. Period.
I think they have some sort of FO program already
and they have a limited program for coaches during training camp
need to expand them
Owners are going to hire who they want.
I think they already have that. Chris Samuels did it
I think that somewhere out there there is probably a woman who has a better mind for football than 90% of the GM’s in the NFL. Totally untapped personnel potential.
I can’t get in to the winter Olympics. There’s just nothing I’m interested in. They should move basketball to winter
Naked figure skating (women only)
that would get some interest
Yes sir!
Alex,
In reference to the need to add another game, what I’d like to see instead would be to reduce preseason games to two, making the other two, formerly preseason games, regular season ones.
I agree. I just think the safety issue alone would prevent lengthening the season and probably advocate removing 1-2 pre-season games.
I think the preseason games are essential to reducing injuries.
how so? I think you must be kidding, and I fell for it.
There’s an debate that pre-season gets guys into “game shape” now. Especially because practices are so limited in terms of hitting.
Not kidding… these slackened practices, no 2 a days, light off seasons… injuries are up. Reason? These guys aren’t fully ready or conditioned for the full impact of the season.
those issues I agree with but every year we lose guys to ‘meaningless’ preseason games. I say make them count
There is some truth to that for sure. But I think if you planned out the bigger picture stuff, allow for more physical practices, more organized scrimmages like some teams do, add in a developmental league to help groom backups and stuff. You could improve safety/health and reduce pre-season games.
I don’t disagree… but you better negotiate that shit.
They should add a second bye week and put it before each teams Thursday game.
My thinking is more that if you want to keep having games in “neutral sites” it’s BS that fans from 1 team have to give up a home game every year, that’s why an odd number would make so much sense.

The Bears dipped into the collegiate ranks to hire offensive line coach Harry Hiestand and they are doing the same at offensive coordinator.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Bears have hired former University of Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich the offensive coaching staff for Matt Nagy.
Helfrich was the offensive coordinator of the Ducks from 2009-2012 and moved into the head coaching spot after Chip Kelly left for the Eagles. He won 33 games in his first three seasons and went to a national title game before being fired after going 4-8 during the 2016 season.
Those Oregon offenses were known for being fast-paced and Nagy comes from running a Chiefs offense that featured a fair amount of the spread formations Helfrich favored in Eugene matched with West Coast concepts, so it seems a fair bet that the Bears are going to have Mitch Trubisky running an offense that melds those things in 2018.
Going all-in to make their QB comfortable. Should be interesting to watch.
They need somebody to catch the ball.
Yeah, they had a bad bust with their 1st round receiver a few years ago.

Report: Pat Shurmur is the favorite to be the Cardinals’ next coach
I don’t like the Rooney Rule. It’s disingenuous.
So if Jay wants to keep all his coaches do you say OK or strongly suggest he changes his mind?
Keep em’…he lives with em’ or dies with em’.
Sounds about right
He can’t be so blind that he can’t see certain coaches need to go. Leave well enough alone and see if he figures it out on his own
if Jay keeps all his coaches and we lose 1-2 games because of ST gaffs
then it’s all on him and he deserves what he gets
We interviewed every black former head coach who has been in the broadcast booth for at least 10 yrs.
-Raiders Attorney
if you want more minority head coaches then establish a training program at the league level and have some league paid intern position(s) on each NFL team
Training program for various position like what does it take to be
a QC assistant
a position coach
a coordinator
a head coach
hire some former league coaches to develop and lead those
also have a professional development component
public speaking
dealing with the press
dealing with players
etc.
that’s the best way to increase the minority ranks
That would be better then the Rooney rule.
Looks like we won’t be playing in Jolly Ol’ England.
https://twitter.com/NFLfootballinfo/status/951482748421722113
good
How about Mexico?
Or Toronto?
I really think that they need to add a 17th game to the season and give every team 1 international game or neutral game. A head to head between the AFC & NFC teams that finished in whatever ranking they had last season. Means you always get a Superbowl rematch the next year which everyone loves. Have games in the UK, Mexico, Canada, Asia/Australia, mainland Europe, maybe a few in US cities with out teams.
NK?
So, Kirk may lose to the Eagles in London?
The worst part of the Raiders situation is that Gruden and Del Rio have the same agent. The agent is the real dick bag here.
What else could he have done?
It was a tough position to be on, for sure but he did his client a disservice. Gotta at least give Jack a heads up or try to mediate the situation somehow
That would be unethical towards Gruden.
Maybe he should have recused himself. lol
Yeah and lose that money, not happening.
again, just a joke….
He may have lost money on the long run because who is going to want him as their agent after he screwed his client?
I don’t think he screwed him there was really nothing he could do we will see if Del Rio fires him or not.
organizations (government, company, etc.) makes rules
people find ways to get around the rules to accomplish things
This rule is dumb.
the more of a road block a rule is, the more likely it is someone goes around it
Yeah sorry but your not going to tell Billionares who they should and shouldn’t hire.
So No Rules!!!
Agreed! While we’re at it, lets cut Government in half! As a start! Incredibly wasteful…. We will know who works for the Government by how many or few click on the up arrow… lmao
That would be YUGE!
Re: Gruden Hiring and Rooney Rule:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DTO-a9JXkAEwg4U.jpg
Has any team ever been punished for violating that rule?
I think Detroit was when they hired Marriucci
Teams are going to hire who they want no matter the race so making them do fake interviews is stupid.
You gotta look at this a level deeper, my friend. There are now 8 minority HCs in the NFL, which is partly because the Rooney Rule has forced teams to identify minority candidates through the interview process.
Yes, they end up hiring who they wanted anyway, but they also end up giving the other 31 teams the name of a minority coach to think about when it comes time for them to look at who they want coaching.
They did interview two minority candidates even though they never really had a shot at the job.
If he’d have won a few playoff games, this whole “pave the way for guaranteed years” thing would have had more leverage, not that any amount of leverage would bring something like that to fruition.
Paulsen then asked whether Cousins has talked much with McCloughan since his departure from the team nearly a year ago.
“Not really,” Cousins said. “I mean, not a long, drawn-out conversation. He called me last winter just to let me know that he was moving on, and then I think he texted me when Cooper was born, and maybe one or two other times, just in a congratulatory sense. I’ve always respected him. I’ve always felt good about Scot, and enjoyed working alongside him, and enjoyed the experience he drew on, being around guys like Brett Favre and Alex Smith and Russell Wilson. And I felt like he was a football guy, who knew football guys.”
McCloughan, for what it’s worth, has admitted that the team didn’t handle the Cousins situation correctly.
“The guy is really intelligent, the guy is a solid, solid quarterback,” McCloughan said last summer. “You know, we kind of messed up in Washington not getting him done earlier, from the standpoint of the contract.”
Yeah and he was part of the mess up.
Blame can be assigned to numerous parties tbf. Still, if we end up searching for our next franchise qb…….well i just don’t think they’re easy to find.
I still don’t think we found him, sorry just because Kikr is better than what we have had doesn’t make him a franchise guy.
I’d love to have the next Brees, or Rodgers, etc…but KC, with enough talent, can get us there imo.
“And being a non-drinker, I kinda got a kick out of the contact high I got from his breath.”
Happy Friday eve!

No room for that………..in the heart of a champion.

Lol, that is supported by his “password” shot at you.

That is the truth
Interesting hire.
Mark Helfrich, who went 37-16 as head coach of the Oregon Ducks before he was fired after the 2016 season, will be Matt Nagy’s offensive coordinator with the Bears, a source told
Some off that “incorporate college plays” theory.

alex35332 Team Captain Flounder • 15 minutes ago
It was such a mess, they had an agreement with Jon Gruden before firing Jack Del Rio. They did that guy dirty.
_________________________
1. This shit happens all the time. All the time. Many organizations have the replacement in line before firing the current guy. This is far from doing someone dirty.
2. Just because they had Jon Gruden signed up before they fired Del Rio, doesn’t necessarily mean that they didn’t follow the Rooney rule. All they had to do was interview some minority candidates. The current person have to be canned before you conduct those interviews. They could have conducted those interviews before Del Rio was fired as well.
3. Do we really think a professional organization would not comply? Do you really think they aren’t aware of the Rooney rule?
4. Most organizations know who they are going to hire at the end. The Rooney Rule is about process. It is intended to at least give real minority candidates an opportunity to interview, expereince; it doesn’t mean that they have to be realistic candidates, but they must be given a legitimate shot to at least interview. Many times it is a rehearsal for the next coaching job at which they have a greater shot, giving them experience in the interview process to hopefully perform well when their opportunity arises.
I think you should also look at the history of the organization and the Raiders have been very progressive in the hiring of minorities.

Yeah people like to hate greatness.
It was a joke.
Eh, I just don’t think a team that doesn’t win it’s conference should ever get in the playoffs.
The saga continues . One of these days , it will be resolved .
Feb 20th?
I’m thinking that will be this year I doubt they let this play out any longer.
I sure hope so
Me to even if it means he is gone and all we get is a 3rd round compensatory pick.
There’s no guarantee we get any comp pick…
True that depends on what we do in FA.
it’s got to be hurting jersey sales. who wants to buy a $100 (or whatever) jersey for a guy who’s on a 1-year deal?
I confronted that exact situation in 2017…went with a Sherrif jersey instead since he’ll be around a while.
That makes no difference considering Dan gets the same amount for the sale of a Cam Newton jersey as he gets for a sale of a Cousins jersey.
i understand they share jersey money. still, it reflects local levels of commitment. no one really wants to go “all in” on cousins, cause he’s just been on one year deals.
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with the way Kirk has played this, I mean give him credit for using the system to his advantage.
I would also say that a QB and coach don’t have to be lovers either, they just need to respect each other and work together.
Very true. Some of the most successful relationships in football IMO are when key guys respect each other but butt heads. Think of Joe and Bobby back in the day.
Gruden and KC both seem like genuinely good dudes who just want to win football games. I really hope the money situation doesn’t sour shit.
It already has because Kirk has never wanted to negotiate with us and wont this off season either he wants to be a FA because that is how you make the most money.
Kirk is listening to his agent.
Yes and sometimes that works out sometimes not.
You gotta figure , for an agent , this is like heaven . He probably will never have it any better .
The rumor stuff with Jay is silly. At no point did Gruden say anything about Kirk in his comments, it was all about the situation and that he just wants stability at QB. Every coach wants and deserves that so the team can build around the most key position.
What he said was the truth but I think some took it as a knock on Kirks play, he also said he thinks Kirks situation is all about the money and that is also correct.
IDK , KC said publicly he was a little surprised about Gruden’s comments . I sensed there might be a little something there
Yeah there was more to it than posturing.
I didn’t give your site a chance,alex35332,but I was wrong! You guys have done a great job of getting up and running and the comment section is MUCH better than one at that other hamster gathering place!

Which is why the Fans think he is Mr. innocent in all this, which is very wrong.
—————-
What is Kirk guilty of? As far as I can see, he’s playing as best he can, and looking for the best deal he can get.
His agent was trying to make him out to be a victim when what he really wants is the most money possible and that is fine but admit it don’t act like you have been treated bad.
To be fair, he hasn’t ever come out and said he’s been treated unfairly. Dude has a bit of passive aggressiveness to him, but he always says the right things.
His agent and family have said things, and either he is behind that or should control them.
Or he should concentrate on game film and preparing his mind and body for football, which is what I’d prefer he be doing.
He isn’t doing that now
His agents job is to get him the most money possible. I agree that agents in general (and probably Kirk’s, I haven’t paid attention to him) tend to get overly melodramatic when making their cases.
and by FO leak we mean Bruce Allen
Shanny and Scot were leaking plenty of stuff.
I’m going back and forth with Rick Snider about GMU not having a football team. Am I wrong that it’s weird their Sports department is run by 2 ex redskins players and yet they have 0 interest in adding football program.
at least start at Div III and see what happens interest-wise
as a GMU grad I would for the school to have a football team
Do they have a stadium and the training facilities to have a team?
They have a soccer stadium that holds 5K. I know they have a general weigh room athletic facilities on campus. That’s got to be at least enough to start a Division 3 program.
Football programs can be very expensive with all the equipment needed.
I know it’s not cheap. All the sleds, equipment, you are talking about at least a few million to start one up.
this is why soccer is so popular world-wide.
Pasture and tractor shed.
Before we get too wrapped up in the he-said-she-said of the KC negotiations, remember that *several* former players and coaches have made it known that the Redskins FO likes to leak information to the press.
Yeah Kirks agent likes to leak things to the press also.
Insert NPI Kowicipee joke
Could be, I haven’t been following Kirks agent for 40 years.
Most of the things leaked have been to Kirks benefit.
Kirk’s benefitted primarily from the team not having another option at QB. All he’s had to do is wait.
Which is why the Fans think he is Mr. innocent in all this, which is very wrong.
Jay stuff wasn’t leaked he said it in public.
I don’t know what the Jay stuff is yet, just hearing CSN talking about there being tension, and immediately my mind went back to all the drama bullshit we’ve been through in the last 10 years
Gruden’s frustrations boiling to the surface would be my guess .
he, like all of us, want to know who the team’s qb is.
Oh yeah , he’s in a helluva bad spot , and it seems to never end.
Has nothing to do with last 10 years as neither guy has been here that long.
“all the drama bullshit we’ve been through in the last 10 years”
——————–
much of that drama and leaks etc… turned out to be true.
It did.
an offensive minded head coach always complains about his QB not taking enough risks when throwing
an defensive minded head coach always complains about his QB taking too many risks when throwing
our former Mike Jones was one of the people breaking the story about the Raiders not complying with the Roonery rule
Funny they have a minority GM who didn’t follow the Rooney rule.
It was such a mess, they had an agreement with Jon Gruden before firing Jack Del Rio. They did that guy dirty.
Must be cornball.
Catching these reports on CSN about possible tension between KC and Jay Gruden . Hadn’t seen that before .
Because it’s B.S.
Don’t shoot the messenger .
It’s not BS there is some truth to it for sure.
Full on cat fight with hair pulling and everything. Reportedly….
I guess you haven’t heard how Jay talked about Kirks play after the season. Jay is not 100% all in on Kirk you can tell that by the way he talks and his demeanor with Kirk on the sidelines.
I saw it ,
At this point, I look at all talk on both sides – INCLUDING leaks like this – as being nothing more than negotiation posturing and tactics.
That could be true also but I think Jay wants a guy who can go off book more and someone who takes more chances.
Nothing surprises me .
Darling, remember, you are Gaston Monescu. You are a crook. I want you as a crook. I love you as a crook. I worship you as a crook. Steal, swindle, rob. Oh, but don’t become one of those useless, good-for-nothing gigolos.
I’m not a legal expert, but doesn’t this violate the Rooney Rule?

Yup. Pay the fine, and they’ll move along.
Certainly violates the spirit of the thing.

Cousins contract talks climax
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGtGggK5ims
State department contracting is a small community as long as your liked you can work here forever, even if that means switching contracts or contract companies.
that happens a lot with State, DOD, HLS
see whole contracts move from one company to another the new company hired about 80-90% of the people from the prior company
It’s true in every government agency I’ve dealt with. It’s why the “small government” talk in the 80’s and 90’s was such BS. They just moved the work force to the more expensive contractor positions.
I was laid off from one project but because I had made a lot of contacts I was hired a few days later to work on another contract doing the same thing almost.
What you have to be careful of is getting on the Govt’s bad side, because then you will be blocked from all contracts.
Squinns, CBA grievance, they want a new one. Probably end poorly for the union.

I still remember the day where we tried to convince Hottie it was Topless Tuesday and we were all posting topless and she should too
The last time I was managing a crew of people, we enjoyed:
– Racist Friday
– Sexist Tuesday
– Finger Monday
Amazingly Sean William Scott was involved in that too.
I was given a 2 week severance when I was laid of from my last contract company. That was not in my contract they just did it to be nice.
I’ve been fortunate the three times I was laid off
two places I got stay/completion bonus for staying until date/objectives were complete
the other was like he’s a month’s pay sign this non-sue agreement to collect it
One time I got laid off with 4 months severance… the day before I was going to give my two weeks’ notice 🙂
NICE!
Yeah the best thing was I was still getting paid by them and I had already started my new job.
Oh and as Team Captain. I was thinking of encouraging the return of Movie Quote Friday to this blog.
Thoughts?
LOL you know I’m in
Many memories.
My favorite memory?
The Haiku Tuesdays.
Yeah those were good.
is Topless Tuesday coming back too?
what about Haiku?
well technically I think
Haiku was Wednesday
Theater Thursday
Fact Free Friday (FFF)
Haiku was Wednesday? I’ve got it all backward now.
I am 99% sure it was Haiku Tuesday.
And I know, technically we did Haiku Tuesday, Movie Quote Wednesday, and fact free Friday, I think those were the order. but I didn’t think of it till after I did the show, and that seemed like it would be to late. So why not move things around a bit.
And as we all know,
haikus were never my thing,
because spelling is hard
Wait if it was Theater Thursday than we can just make it Movie Quote Thursday. Which works great!

“Management also proposed to cut severance pay by up to almost 80 percent, and to make severance pay conditional on workers surrendering their legal right to sue the Post or collect monetary relief if a government agency finds the dismissal was improper. “That should be illegal,” declared David DeJesus, local secretary-treasurer and the Washington Post unit co-chair. ”
________________
I do some employment law. Severance pay is almost never guaranteed and nearly always conditioned on receiving a severance release. Management is just instituting what is completely the norm in the market, but workers don’t want to accept the norm.
I’ve never received a layoff check that didn’t come with some strings attached.
EXACTLY! Sounds like the WaPo has some entitlement settlement provisions, which is completely off market.
The only time I ever had severance it came with that kind of thing.
I’ve never seen it without.
You left off the 1% match proposal.
My employer only matches 1%. I think that’s low for the market, though.
It is, especially for organized labor supported by a collective bargaining agreement, which seems to be the driving issue here, “benefits”.
To be fair, my employment isn’t based on a CBA.
To be fair, these peeps are. 1% is low, though you may have some other options that equalize. There is a story here, the union is the only outlet (normal in these cases). Why the officer chose severance pay as his “point” is unknown to me.
Re: NPI….as long as he has his hippy lettuce, he’s okay. Not a bad guy. Just, has some bad moments from time to time. Mostly, he’s funny.
Consider timeouts instead of a ban.
There are a few regs who for some reason make it their mission to talk shit about other people – usually (but not always) Different_Cat. I don’t agree with everything D_C (or anyone else) says, but there are three or four guys who feel like anytime that dude says anything, it’s time to start peeing everywhere.
NPI can be a solid contributor. But the dude completely goes off the rail whenever anyone disagrees with him (and sometimes he goes off the rails for absolutely no reason).
NPI enjoys being a blog bully. He lives for personal attacks. He is capable of well reasoned, rational comments at times, but he lives for demeaning others, and making it personal.
I’m glad the mods have the cojones to curb this behavior.
He can post here as long as he doesn’t become a problem, like anyone, if he become a problem let Sean, Steve and I know and we will do something about it.

In January. Awesome
Nope these people aren’t worthy of those.
LMAO! Good one.
‘…the cat got into the mixer again…’
LMFAO!
Good show, guys! I think Kirk is an interesting guy to try to analyze, because he’s super religious. I don’t think he’s going to “lie” about saying things like “something my dad said influenced me”, but I also think he’s well coached by his agents. I’m sure his Dad did say something, but there’s no way that’s the whole story.
Last!
Watched ‘Ghandi’ after signing off last night. Epic…but didn’t hit the hay until 2:30.
The Greek! Ion Man!

Woohoo! My first hogsty podcast, in the books.
Haha congrats!!! They’re good. I used to participate in them, back in the beginning, but I had to drop out for a while.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you’ll be back…..after you go to Wally World, lol.
Mayyyyyyybe!
Many have read that, at this point.
Should’ve had Rick in on the end of this, lol.
Bingo “guaranteed years” whomever that is (not accustomed to the voices yet)
what time in the podcast was it?
44:00 ish
I can’t find anyone saying guaranteed years, but the guy saying the Redskins should have offered 5 years and Cousins would have signed was Steve. Alex was the other guy talking in that segment.
Right, I took it as the same thing.

He was never going anywhere, because that would have meant returning a bunch of money and that’s not happening.
Alex: “My friend is going to get depressed. I’m going to need some mace.”

Today, a squad of Argentinian special forces is showing up at Steve’s house.
Okay, I’m coming to Steve’s house after the Argentinian SF 😛
You should have your road trip pass by Houston

Intesticle fortitude……
Undescended fortitude
I had a puppy with that, they went in there and did it manually 🙄
My puppy is sadly sans-nut
They say it can become cancer, if left untreated.
No no… he’s been denutted
