based on your recent posts, i doubt it.

well no you miss an pretty important fact - JW said that because Allen and others said it was buttoned up and handled “inside the team” back in OTAs or whenever he addressed it. Between then and now? Multiple Beasley meltdowns on twitter. So what Allen said didn’t really hold for Beasley did it (or Hughes, or Feliciano, for that matter.) I do think you are right that once camp starts they’ll be saying less about this, but the whole point was why are reporters being shut down trying to ask questions when some players just turn around and go on the offensive about Covid stuff? great contribution 🙄. Very unlike you in all honesty. Take the L on this one and move on you post to excellent stuff almost all the time.

Pretty much exactly that - laborers in the Carolinas produced a lot of tar and pitch for the shipping industry back in the day.

She is being hired by The Buffalo News, not ESPN (or so I thought.) edit: nevermind I see what you meant now. Yeah MLJ is awesome not sure what that poster is on about. Still has nightmares about Rodak apparently. Time to move on.

Is “the ticks” much worse than “the zips”?

whataboutism - the post. And not a very good one.

it’s pretty close though, isn’t it? And your 2nd paragraph is pure racism. But at least you got that dumb hat! Do you think wahoo s*** isn’t still being sold all over the place just because the team disowned it a couple years ago? No. The team had to make this change.

Well there’s the hornets, yellow jackets, bees…and I think there is a college somewhere with the spiders. Edit: yeah U of Richmond are the spiders. also yes. There’s boll weevils(!) too apparently.

That’s fine - plenty of Clevelanders aren’t particularly hot on the new name either. As for the “of traffic” part - it makes more sense if you remember these things are carved into a bridge. Lol. Why stop there? Why not use that big galaxy brain of yours and conjure up an entire alternate reality to live in. You’d never have to worry about concepts like “change” and “facts” ever again.

defense isn’t played in baseball? Good god man. And the connection to the city is clear. Read the thread.

The name is clearly a nod to the giant guardian statues everyone sees flanking the highway as you enter Cleveland. Here’s a picture if you’re interested at all in learning something. These art deco statues on the Hope Memorial Bridge are the inspiration for the name and logo.

Sorry bout your luck Rick.

None are as inaccurate as indians. Bills makes sense if you know the story. 49ers isn’t based on an idiotic mistake - the gold rush actually happened. Lakers at least points to the history of the team before moving to LA. And yes - none of those names are offensive like indian is to many. I was just pointing out the name is dumb for more reasons than just “the wokes are upset about it.”

Or blue cheese vs ranch

check any thread here that gets started about a female coach, reporter or commentator and you’ll have your answer pretty quickly.

Eternal optimist that I am, this is a perfect opportunity for Josh Allen to step up as the unquestioned leader of this team and smooth all this out with his teammates in camp.

here’s the thing though - putting hurt feelings completely aside, the name “Indian” is completely stupid, wrong, and anachronistic. We got the name indian because a 15th century European explorer made a geographical error. There’s a reason we don’t call Native Americans indians anymore - it doesn’t make any sense. They should change the name of Indiana too.

Already taken by Rochester 😎

doubt they want to pick a name that reminds people of the days of segregated leagues.

It’s a meh from me - “G” logo is cool, font on the wordmark is bad. Glad they changed the name (and got Tom Hanks & The Black Keys to do the hype video) but probably could have done better.

I’d rather hope and expect to see major improvement along the D line next season as opposed to expecting Allen to drastically improve off his excellent, MVP-level season last year. Outside of Hughes, who still posts elite pressure numbers, the team has spent a lot of capital to improve that line the past couple of years and it would be a disappointment to not see more production out of those guys.

Our QB is gonna show up to camp so…pretty good! 😉

Wonder if Vic was tired of the ongoing bs between the guild and TBN’s new ownership and decided now’s as good a time as any.

nothing major - some “superfan” said something like Ford was his biggest disappointment on the team and Ford saw it and responded.

honestly after reading the thread it actually does sound like some posters are enamored with hollister. To me, he seems like another replacement level TE of which we already have one.
