Quote HistoryQuoted: He also had a completely incompetent coach who refused to run the kind of offense that plays to Baker's strengths, who has since been replaced with a coach who, as the OC of the Vikings, created 2 of the highest completion percentage QBs in NFL history. Based around the quick, short passing game, which is Baker's strength. He has 2 top 15 WR, 2 top 30 or so backs, and 2 top 30 or so TE. Also a first round Alabama left tackle and an improved free agent RT. I doubt this will be the same Browns as last year. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Mayfield looks like a good value bet at +5000 for the MVP. He's around guys like Cousins and Carr on the list. He'll have a ton of weapons and a substantially upgraded O line. Then again, Cleveland. Mayfield's current betting odds to win MVP are 30/1. His team was loaded with talent last season and they went 6-10 with Mayfield having more turnovers than TD's, a completion percentage under 60%, and the 2nd lowest passer rating in the entire NFL among qualifying QBs. The Browns are underdogs to simply make the postseason and only twice in NFL history has a player won the MVP on a team that didn't make the postseason. Unitas in 1967 and OJ in 1973. So, yeah, I'm going to have to disagree that Mayfield for MVP looks like a good value bet.

They might very well be an improvement from last year's 6-10 team, but doesn't mean Mayfield for MVP is a good value bet. But hey, if you want to bet on the guy that had more turnovers than TD's and the 2nd lowest passer rating in the NFL last season to win the MVP this season because of a new coach and improved O-line, best of luck.

Here's a take I bet you won't see in most places:
Even without the social narratives discussion, "Washington Redskins" was still a bottom 5 team name in the league down there with the Bengals, Jets, and Lions. Most people will talk about the social piece or reject that with opposition to wokeness or whatever, but it's not much of a stretch that the Washington TBDs could come out of this with a legitimately better name and mascot. |

The ones I think are the coolest are the locally significant names like Packers, Steelers, Chiefs, and 49ers. The random "cool" things like Patriots, Cowboys, Giants, and Vikings are also good. If I made a rank or tier system of all NFL franchise names, the Redskins would probably be near the bottom without any discussion of race. It's awkward at best. "Sentinels" would be way cooler and up in the 3rd or even 2nd tier. |

Plus, they were fifth in revenue last year. Of course given the current climate I doubt you could get an unbiased poll (like you were saying). Fun fact: ESPN did a bracket challenge a few years back to see which MLB team had the best uniforms and the O’s won. |

Apparently MLB will have a "Black Lives Matter stencil" on the pitcher's mound for every game during opening weekend starting tomorrow.
At least the NFL hasn't said they were going to do something like that.... yet. |

Like tell them to fuck off, all lives matter. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe both? It's kind of lame. The ones I think are the coolest are the locally significant names like Packers, Steelers, Chiefs, and 49ers. The random "cool" things like Patriots, Cowboys, Giants, and Vikings are also good. If I made a rank or tier system of all NFL franchise names, the Redskins would probably be near the bottom without any discussion of race. It's awkward at best. "Sentinels" would be way cooler and up in the 3rd or even 2nd tier. With the possible exception of the Giants (I heard it referred to the skyscrapers of NY, but I'm not entirely sure that was accurate) those are all relevant locally/regionally as well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I mean I’m clearly biased and really like the name. I see it as one of the more classic NFL franchises. Plus, they were fifth in revenue last year. Of course given the current climate I doubt you could get an unbiased poll (like you were saying). Fun fact: ESPN did a bracket challenge a few years back to see which MLB team had the best uniforms and the O’s won. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Maybe both? It's kind of lame.

I remember hearing how getting a ticket to a Skins game was almost impossible except for the rich and privileged. I guess that has been a good while ago...before Snyder came along and ran them into the ground?
