Stanley Lombardi

'Washington Football Team' is a middle-finger to the NFL, it's minimalist, it exudes attitude, and it pisses off all the people Snyder wants to piss off. It's a flat-out grand slam.

Before our very eyes, Wisdom and Enlightenment have met.

Well done!

"Golden Wheels" and "Cookie". The nicknames are the first thing I remember. It was probably 1962, listening to the radio when I was 9. It was love at first listen.

All of this dreck sounds just like Ralph Kreuger.

Lee Smith, at length (with Tim Graham and Matthew Fairburn) on life in general; life in the NFL; Allen, Knox, Brady, Mahomes, etc. Warning: This may challenge your presumptions and assumptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JudiM6U_b4I

Isn't Milano the minimalist who lives on peanut butter and tuna, sleeps on a cot, and fits all his clothes into a backpack? Looks like he'll be stepping up to albacore. Perhaps he's an ironist, too?

I'm holding out for fluffernutter pizza.

Little losers love to belittle Nate. For a fleeting moment they can tell themselves they're tall.

There will never be another Josh Allen.

It was the biggest mistake they made in that game (and there were many). For a couple plays in the second half, they had Lee Smith lining up as a blocker in the backfield, but they inexplicably abandoned the idea. Otherwise it was empty backfields and Allen running for his life. It was insane. This coaching staff is getting a reputation for out-thinking themselves in high-stakes games. (p.s. -- I am normally a big backer of this coaching staff, but the Chiefs game was alarming in its utter abandonment of the proven concepts which got them there.)

None of my girlfriends were that inventive.

Best fan-base moniker in the NFL. Inciting jealousy from coast to coast.

There have been games, many games, when I thought Milano played the best game on our defense. If he were benched, it would be difficult for him to make me think that again.

Daboll was on a mission to out-think himself all day. Fortunately, so was Frank Reich.

He struck me as the biggest nerd in high school who was also the, um, state champion wrestler. I considered that kind of personal range a lethal combination, and I still do.

He exudes joy, even on an NFL field. It's a rare ability. Brett Favre comes to mind.

Have you ever gotten a break? Have you ever given a break?

Not sure what it means, or if it means anything at all, but Stills' Wikipedia page now lists him as a Buffalo Bill.

As interesting as a football question gets. I know a whole lot about attitude, in general; and I would attempt a reasoned reply if I knew more about Rosen, in particular.

In a word, zero. Expressed as a number, 0.

That last scene...the cap, the coat, the stogie, the stadium, the snow, the wink. Damn that was fine.

Oh, great. I just bought my 25-year old son a #88 jersey for Christmas, and now you tell me. And to think that I saw #88 score a touchdown in 2 of our last three games. Does scoring touchdowns and becoming a fan favorite mean anything in the NFL, or do the hordes of experts, such as yourselves, now pooh-pooh such things?

Not wanting to be a killjoy, but I hope this idea never materializes. Let's wear the blue buffalo on our helmets, hats, and sweatshirts -- with a big red slash, no less. But a real brown buffalo should be in Montana or Wyoming, snorting and pawing the ground and thundering across the plains. We have the best mascot in all of sports . Let's not fence him in.

At its heart, football is about blocking and tackling. Lee Smith's blocking ability makes it less likely that his teammates will be tackled. Why is this concept so difficult for many of our esteemed cohort to grasp?
