Washington Redskins Urged to Change Team Name
Brandon replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in General Discussion
Its a deprecated term its not racist in 2014. N bombs are bleeped on TV, Redskins is not. Google search image Redskins and you will see a tonne of NFL logos. Google search N***** and you will see tonnes of racist images. Stop trying so hard. Redskins means football in 2014 its not racist at all. New Jersey Devils has a horrible offensive name for religious folks so should they not change the name? Redskins is far from thee worst team name. You would have to change dozens of names before that one. -
Rookie Camp Day 1 (Reports and Discussion)
Brandon replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This is based on one practice. How many times we see a guy look solid in practice only to stink in game time. They have a lot more time looking at Brohm and if they didn't like him they wouldn't of traded for him. Marve only makes third string if he plays fantastic in the pre season games and Brohm shits the bed. No way Hall loses backup to Marve unless he gets hurt. The team isn't going to go with zero experience at back up. I'm willing to put money on that. Marve is the project guy who will only see the field in the reg season if we get injuries or we are killing a team or being hammered. -
Rookie Camp Day 1 (Reports and Discussion)
Brandon replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
NFL pedigree does mean something, with Brohm he was projected to be a first round pick went back to school for his senior year and ended up falling to 2nd round which is still very impressive. Marve lost his job and moved schools and was never on the NFL radar. Brohm was in Green Bay behind Rodgers which pretty much would be impossible to overtake and ended up starting a few games with the Bills. The blue traded for him and clearly McManus thinks the guy has something. His credentials are much better , he is much more experienced in pro ball and he has had zero personality or off field problems. It'll be very hard for Marve to overcome that. -
Rookie Camp Day 1 (Reports and Discussion)
Brandon replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Disagree with this. Maybe it was only one practice but this guy has all the tools. I'm in love. Brohm was easily the weakest of the QBs and while I like what Hall brings to the table, he is what he is. Marve has zip on his throws and one particular example I have is on one play, he showed great mobility on a roll out to his right while being chased by a lineman and while on the run fired a bullet to Donovan Kemp. Perfect throw and a good example of what he can do. It's early, but I think he easily gets the project 3rd QB job on this squad. Also ran into Gary Etcheverry in the parking lot and he smiled at me. This turned my impression of him around immediately. He will be the greatest coordinator this team has ever seen. Lol I hope this is a joke? Also Willy is a lock at #1, Hall pretty much a lock at #2..... The team traded for Brohm , McManus I assume likes the guy since he knows the most about him.... the dude has started in the NFL.... was fairly touted in his college career..... Marve would have to be perfect in pre season while Brohm completely shits the bed for him to take his spot. Just because a guy can zip the ball in practice doesn't really mean anything yet. I am pleased though that they brought in a guy who can throw the ball instead of bringing in guys with Dinwiddie floater arms... -

It will be very difficult to believe Marve can overtake any of the other guys. Hall and Brohms NFL experience will be tough to surpass. -

I've never heard the Redskins referred as the R word and its never bleeped out on TV. Its not a bad word in 2014. People have to much time... Fighting Irish is way more offensive they should focus on that -

Redskins isn't racist to everyone though. I find the Cleveland Indians logo to be extremely racist should that not also be changed? Who is to say what is racist and what is not? -
Drew Willy to Organize Practice if Players Strike

No doubts not to mention some guys have injured themselves via stubbing toe in the shower. -

Brandon replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in General Discussion
And black people drop N bombs ALL the time it still doesn't mean it is not racist. Yes Brown is a racial slur. Redskin isn't universally a racial slur most people associate that with football. My point was that if you change one name that isn't even racist then you should be changing them all. You can't pick and choose. -
Bombers negotiate Transit game day discount

I don't see the big deal, pay a few bucks to ride the bus. I'm sure more restaurants will have shuttles and everything will work out. Also isn't there an app you can use to fetch rides from normal people at cheaper rates then taxis? -
Washington Redskins Urged to Change Team Name
Brandon replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in General Discussion
I hope you're kidding.The Browns were named after their first coach Paul Brown *or* Joe Louis. The issue would be if "Brown Bomber" is considered racist as a nickname for Joe Louis. Im not sure it is but I've never really thought about it (or even knew that was his nickname to be honest). Brown is a racial name for east Indian people. Fighting Irish is also a pretty harsh name that should be changed. The Cleveland Indians not only have a racist logo, they aren't even depicting the correct people. It should be The Cleveland Natives. Tonnes of teams can be looked at and scrutinized. -

Redskins is only a racial term for old people... The kids associate the name to football and RG3. Once again the Browns is a much more racist name. -
TSN Off-Season Game Plan: Winnipeg Jets
Brandon replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Once again who could the Jets could of acquired in a blockbuster trade? Which free agent superstars could they have signed? I don't even really see any big mistakes that Chevy has done... it's not his fault that Seto and Pavs completely dropped in performance after signing them... at the time it was good signings. -

I don't know why they wouldn't change the name. It gives them a prime chance to rebrand and sell a whole lot of new merch with tonnes of free advertising. It's not like Redskins was a great brand. -

How many blockbuster trades has there been in total in the last three years? -
Donald Sterling....And Mark Cuban
Brandon replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in General Discussion
So unknown poster if mo price was an old white rich guy then that would justify it? Kind of bizarre how some people can get away with being ignorant and others can not. Sterling is a moron and said much worse things then Mo Price. -

I don't see the Jets really making any big moves at all. They will roll with the same team and hope that Pavs picks up his game -
Donald Sterling....And Mark Cuban
Brandon replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in General Discussion
Now what would your opinion be if he bad mouthed gay people? I don't see how you could waffle on your opinions so much. Sterling is an old racist but really who cares, I think the bigger issue is someone taping him without consent. He never publically bad mouthed black guys. I think its scary that you can't have an opinion or even share it in your own home. -
I thought he lost his job because of play and only had the one injury? Wasn't it bell who took the job from him?
-
Wonder if we'll see him join Johnson in Ottawa? All they need is Willis and they can bring Swaggerville to Ottawa lol.

Clerks was an over-rated, over hyped amateur hour production. Chasing Amy was the best thing Smith ever did. False. Clerks 2 was garbage, Clerks 1 was absolute gold! JSBSS was also his best work.
-
I think it's a good signing but my expectations are very low still.... the guy was solid in his rookie year and then progressively less productive each year after. From what I do remember though is that he would be more of a Joe Smith type rb , much more strong and can grind out the yards and decent at catching out of the backfield. I wouldn't expect him to break out big runs but he could be a solid guy for short yardage and for blocking out of the back field.

Als Pick David Foucault Signs With NFL Panthers
Brandon replied to iso_55's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
In fairness he wasn't really given a shot until last season....in which we had the absolute worst qb'ing / o line / coaching ever I think. So for the Riders he definitely is worth the gamble, for the Blue well it's no huge loss. -
I read it was injury
