Last week, the grand jury indicted Arnette on the assault with a deadly weapon and firearm-related charges, records showed.

Brett Favre speaking on Jason Whitlock's "Fearless" podcast this week:

Regarding transgender restroom use: "To think that a young man who identifies as a girl, I don't understand it, just hear me out, can go into a girl's bathroom and use the restroom with girls, and for us to think that's OK, I think is wrong. I'm sorry. ... I just think some things we're allowing in this country are beyond belief   Some of the thoughts and beliefs we're seeing are crazy."

Regarding transgender women in sports and athletes being afraid so speak out against it: "I think maybe vast majority are afraid of what it'll do to their career. And it's not affecting them directly. Not yet, at least. Who knows where this country's going? It may affect them somewhere down the road. Is it too late? I don't know. It's scary."

Regarding Trump: "I think our country was in better shape with him. I think Donald was a non-political president, and I liked that about him. Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I'm flawed just like the rest of 'em. We're all flawed. But I really felt like he had our country in a better place and really cared about our people in our country. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian - you name it. I think if you were an American citizen, he cared about you, first and foremost. I don't know if our current president has the same mentality."

The Bowie Baysox (a minor league baseball team who play at Prince George's Stadium, ~10 miles from FedEx Field) will be celebrating the impending sale of the Commanders by having a "Washington Commanders Ownership Celebration" day Thursday night.

As part of the celebration, fans wearing Washington football gear may purchase half-price box seats. In addition, any fans with the first or last name Josh or Harris, and anyone wearing a Magic Johnson jersey, will receive a free general admission ticket.

Baysox General Manager Brian Shallcross said his front office team had been discussing for several weeks ways to celebrate the sale, "We didn't want to do anything until that type of agreement was in place. We didn't want to jump the gun."

Originally they discussed having a "Snyder Retirement Party", but "ultimately we decided we just didn't want to acknowledge Dan that much. We wanted the promotion to be positive and forward-looking. ... It's hard to find somebody that has positive things to say about the organization and the ownership, so we just thought it was the right time for a celebration."

Twelve NFL officials have left this off-season. It is the most in a single off-season since 2013. It is also just the 2nd time in NFL history in which double digit officials have left in consecutive years.

More than 20 officials in the last two years? I'm sure that won't negatively impact the officiating at all.

I wonder how many are retiring vs quitting/moving on/moving up.

Typically, they just vulture the collegiate officials. I would think that would provide a better-quality official then training a player from scratch. However, creating a program to help feed former players into collegiate level official positions where they could potentially come up does sound like an excellent idea.

No fucking way in hell they would pay them vet minimum though. "It is estimated that the average NFL official makes about $205,000 a year."

Isn't vet min like 250k for guys who only lasted a few years in the league?

Players already know a decent amount of the rules & how they're typically enforced. Obviously as a player they have a completely different perspective on those rules, but at least they know. Most of the players who wash out aren't going to make that kind of money elsewhere, and they get to stay around a game they likely love, so there is plenty of incentive there...

Ok, my bad. I'd think 250k would be enough though, so I guess just up it a bit & put a program in place to bring new blood into the fold. I'd rather see some young guy who just couldn't make it on a 53 reffing because he loves the game than some old doctor/lawyer who does it for shits & giggles.

Without snow the Bills might have lost to the dolphins without a qb

Without frazier there's hope that the defense might actually try to do something positive in a playoff game.

Now, tie all that in together with the expanded gambling rules in the NFL. How long is it before a NFL official is caught fixing a game at a crucial moment? Because of gambling debts? The NFL is already behind the curve on the replacement officials if they're just now starting, IMO. Bet your ass there'll be some female refs in there too.

It's already bad enough and it'll almost certainly get worse.  It seems like pretty much every crew has a female ref now.  If they actually earned the spot, that'd be fine, but does anyone here honestly think those women getting the jobs instead of men are there because they are among the top 0.1% best football refs in this country?

Speaking of which, the idiocy displayed by that female ref (I think the first one ever) in the Redskins/Browns game remains one of those most absurd things I’ve ever seen from an NFL ref.

All refs make mistakes.  Especially when trying to make judgments with less than a second to think about it.  However, to run up to a pile to determine who has the ball, make a change of possession decision based on what you see, AND THE BALL ISN’T EVEN THERE is next level incompetence.

As soon as the Bills actually played defense instead of playing 10 yards off the Bengals receivers, the score was 13-10 the rest of the way.

Quoted:
Speaking of which, the idiocy displayed by that female ref (I think the first one ever) in the Redskins/Browns game remains one of those most absurd things I've ever seen from an NFL ref.

All refs make mistakes.  Especially when trying to make judgments with less than a second to think about it.  However, to run up to a pile to determine who has the ball, make a change of possession decision based on what you see, AND THE BALL ISN'T EVEN THERE is next level incompetence.
