NFL Thread v2: The 2020 NFL Season!

Indiana was named for Indonesians too.

...Pretty sure it...wasn’t?

I mean, yeah, “Indian” is an incorrect term, but it’s not a bad one. Kinda like how the Celtics’ symbol is a clover, despite the fact that the historical Celtics had territory in not only Ireland, but Scotland, Wales, and even a bit in Gaul (France).

Thank you for this map, I was looking for info on History.com, but they wouldn’t post a map.

I was making an intentional bad joke... just like Indiana became after the Colts holed up there.

And then Irsay moved the Colts there in the dead of night and the rest was history. And then he did drugs and alcohol and all that illicit stuff later on.

You mean he wasn’t doing all that on the plane-ride there?

The Clovis people probably liked clovers first.

Maybe it's better not knowing the private lives of NFL owners. You never know what you might uncover.

Bozo Bob was a big boozer. Sonny Jim is the opioid addict. But yes indeedy, they skidaddled in the dead of night during an early spring snow storm on the Mayflower vans. Crummy Indy Mayor Hudnut engineered the heist with Bozo Bob.

If it puts bad people in jail im all for it

Of course Irsay didn't get much of a punishment for drug abuse. Because he's a billionaire.

Like with Rush Limbaugh and opioids. Sick sad world.

^I actually wasn't aware of that. Damn. I do honestly think that celebrities confessing to crimes need to be put behind bars. Shit is fucked up. Except for OJ when he confesses on his deathbed. No double jeopardy and all.

David Njoku asks for a trade.

Doubt anything will happen there. The Browns took him with a 1st rounder (one pick before TJ Watt, one of the stupidest calls in the history of the NFL draft), and they're better off hoping he turns into something than to trade him for a 4th or something. But the guy just isn't that good of player. One of those 'just there' players.

Njoku was basically a one-dimensional tight end.

Not even a great receiver though, which was his calling card. He was very comparable to Jonnu Smith coming out, and Smith went in the second round. Smith has .2 more yards per reception, 12% higher catch percentage on targets, and one fewer touchdowns, 200 fewer yards (in a much less pass happy offense, mind you). He's also a much better run blocker, and these are two guys that I saw described almost identically pre draft.

The Redskins may not have intended their logo to be demeaning, but it is nevertheless a negative stereotype. Time to join the 21st century.

Eh, the logo is fine in my opinion. Not like it's Chief Wahoo or anything. I think it's just the name people got beef with.

I don’t see the logo as an issue. Just a different Indian name would be good.

Since the name is a racial slur, I just go ahead and refer to the team as just Washington.

[Jerzylvania]

Okay, I just had a brainstorm on the name change. Are you out there Dan Snyder?

The name has to do with George Washington being honest and admitting to his Father he had indeed chopped down that cherry tree. It also needs a connotation in regard to politics in DC.

Therefore, I give you....

The Washington Hatchetmen

Hatchetmen are typically assigned to carry out a ruthless task or a vicious or unscrupulous order. Newt Gingrich would approve of this name.

No?

I like the idea, but it's a bit of a mouthful, and doesn't slide off the tongue very well. I do like Haskins's idea, of calling them the Redtails. I'm not entirely sure what it's in reference to, but it sounds cool.

You did describe Dan Snyder's character pretty well right there.

Interesting idea.

But then why not name them the Washington Cherrytrees?
