    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    Sure, things in life suck and you have to grind through it. That's life. But this is an aspect that is supposed to bring joy or entertainment. If it's not doing so (for whatever reason), why would someone "work through" it? This isn't a sick relative or raising a troubled teen. There's no...

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    Agree to disagree on geography being the sole factor for connecting with a team. People connect for all sorts of reasons and establish/strengthen that pride and connection over the years in a complex stew of emotions. I grew up an O's fan because of proximity and radio (so mostly making your...

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    Look, as someone whose first choice would be Redskins and whose next choices would be something to harken back to our tradition/history (Braves/Warriors), I need to chime in with another sobering aspect to this name debate. Not only is Harris banking on the fact that winning will cover up the...

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    People would complain about using George Washington... 1) It's become problematic to use any individual from history since, if you look hard enough since they are people of their time, they have inevitably done things that we frown upon now centuries later. So, some faction of the fan base or...

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    It really seems that Josh and the owners are hoping the winning (and potentially some much better branding) will cover up the bad name. Given how he answered these questions last off-season and now again this off-season, I truly believe that team success was the biggest factor in saving the...

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    Sure, but I think if you do plan to rebrand then being upfront about it is better than intentionally allowing your fans to spend money on gear that you KNOW will be outdated or obsolete very soon. I think the goodwill and trust that you gain by doing that is a long term win!

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    Braves. I really hate that some confluence of internal and external factors (the fever pitch of political correctness, Dan Snyder having no leverage or advocates in the league, and minority owners being in influential positions with sponsors) resulted in the elimination of our old name and...

    Super Bowl or Branding/Name Change?

    Agree to disagree on those specific names...but the larger point stands that all the other factors added to a better name/branding would result in even better merchandise sales.

    Super Bowl or Branding/Name Change?

    If a bad brand with the franchise's first generational QB could set a sales record, then I'm pretty sure a better brand with the same great player (and presumably with even more established and sustained success) could surpass that record. Daniels + Braves/Warriors + logos that resemble our...

    Is this run different - or when will the past be dead?

    Here's a take that might not be too popular, but most fanbases have that same feeling of doom and gloom late in games. My son feels it and he started watching and following the Skins just over the past 2 years. He doesn't know who Norv Turner is. We coined a phrase for it, but it's not unique to...

    Super Bowl or Branding/Name Change?

    If I knew that losing Saturday's game would ensure a complete rebrand that was more in-line with the first 85 years of our history, I'd be all in on that. I believe that this team is on its way to a decade of contention, so a year 1 hiccup would be well worth correcting Snyder's final mistake.

    Why isn't Ricky Sanders in the Ring of Fame?

    There are two reasons that should HANDS DOWN put him in the Ring of Fame... 1) His Super Bowl performance against Denver. 2) The fact that he was part of The Posse. Sanders is my favorite childhood player. For some reason, I was drawn to the lesser-known, deep threat instead of our future...

    BGO Blind Pig: Commanders subs prevail in Dallas, on to Tampa Bay!

    Not to be overly confident, but I read that the team can't "get flagged for penalties" or "turn the ball over" or "fail to score TDs" a lot on these predictions. What's becoming clear is that this team can overcome a lot of sloppy play. In the past, I'd agree that it took a perfect-ish game to...

    Next Day Thread: 12-5.

    Great write-up. Not that I think you were harsh at all, but one point I want to make in defending the 12-5 season (you mentioned something like "this isn't exactly how we'd picture a 12-win season")... We often gloss over the ugly or bad after time passes. Even the pristine 14-2 Super Bowl...

    Team name...Post it all here

    Oh crap, I was being sarcastic and making a joke based on that picture. Sorry
