Steve O Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 As part of the NFL's 100th anniversary celebration, the league is recognizing "Original Towns." Lovely Warren will take the stage along with a player or NFL alumni to announce the 6th round pick. Article in this morning's D&C. The Rochester Jeffersons were one of the 14 original NFL teams in 1920 and played from 1920-1925. Guess this is one of those cases where I'll need to respect the office if not the person.

Your Brown Eye Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 She's a terrible Mayor, who's basically racially divided the city of Rochester. Yeah, what an excellent choice. Would rather have Russ Brandon announce it 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yobogoya! Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Puke. Couldn't they have tracked down someone related to whoever owned/played on that team? What the hell does our crappy mayor in 2019 have to do with a team from a hundred years ago? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 She has a history of shady nepotism, so don't be surprised if she goes rogue and her Uncle ends up being the pick. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) she's just awful. when i heard this my skin crawled. i don't like her as the mayor of my city, and i don't want her to have anything to do with my team. 10 hours ago, Your Brown Eye said: She's a terrible Mayor, who's basically racially divided the city of Rochester.

Bing Bong Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Anybody remember when Roger Staubach got booed in Dallas when the Cowboys made their pick thinking "Roger -" initially meant Roger Goodell?

There was a time when having a Mayor do something like this wasn't mixing politics and sports. The mayor was just a representative of the city. She is such a polarizing figure though. It just can't be done with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just now, Mr. WEO said: They played their last game 94 years ago. Might be tough to track down founders/players relatives who would have any meaningful connection to that team.... I absolutely hear ya, WEO. I was commenting on the post, but was more so thinking about a child or grandchild of the owner or a child or grandchild of someone associated with the team. As you stated that still may even be hard, but I should have clarified that in my post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Darragh Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 They should have Rochester native and former Bears kicker Bob Thomas announce the pick (if he can get time off from his day job as Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_R._Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space time continuum alters at age 67. It was officially cancelled for high winds, but she originally mealy mouthed & cancelled it 2 weeks before until 2 Rochester residents (Om and Swadesh Popli ) offered to pay for it.
