Irv Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 With the draft coming up, I hear the term "war room" a lot and think of heroes who have fought, been killed, or maimed in an actual war. Overly politically correct? Probably. But I wouldn't mind never hearing that again. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that old Carlin routine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin in Va Beach Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 How about Romper Room? And when teams make a pick they can say "Romper bomper stomper du, the Bills select Hal Jalikakik from Whatsamatta U" 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just guessing at what war veterans may be offended by? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 As a long time player/couch I have been around the game my whole life and heard every term there are lots of war terms in football and most I don’t mind but 1 I have stopped using over the years is referring to a hard fought game as going through a war I do feel that we should respect our armed forces and not compare our game to an actual war 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 What about the card game “war”? Where are we on that, Irv? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capco Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Considering how many military analogies that already exist in football, I think you're drawing a line for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
