  1. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/30/redskins-name-change-redtails_n_3186761.html

     

    Opinions? Personally, I really hope they keep the Redskins name. Even though I'm a Dallas fan, it'd still be weird that our main rivals change their name. Nothing against the Redtails, but I do think they could come up with a better name though. What would their logo be? A plane? Jets tried that and I don't think it's that good of a look.

     

     

    Considering the team practices in VA and plays in MD, a DC Council member's opinion has no clout.

     

    The easiest way to keep the name it to just change the Indian head on the helmet to a peanut.

  2. The draft is often a crap shoot. On of the greatest QBs today was a 6th round pick.

     

    I let this tidbit from Peter King speak for the iffy nature of the NFL draft:

     

    Jason Hanson Factoid of the Week That May Interest Only Me

     

    The 1992 NFL Draft was 12 rounds in length, divided between a late-April Sunday and Monday. It was not a particularly good draft. Out of 336 players, none has been selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

     

    The draft is now officially history. When the 56th player in the draft, Jason Hanson, retired, he was the last active player of that class (by far) to leave the game.

     

    Hanson played 327 games for Detroit over a 21-year career and made two Pro Bowls.

     

    Out of the 1992 NFL Draft, the top three picks -- Steve Emtman, Quentin Coryatt and Sean Gilbert -- ended up playing 278 NFL games combined and earning one Pro Bowl.

  3. German Shepards, Rottweilers, Bull Mastiffs and Dobermans all have been used as attack dogs, and are fearsome when trained, just like Pit Bulls. Are they being banned?

     

    I find it interesting that no one has commented on the cultural aspect of the ban. Just which part of the community is owning and training these dogs? Answer that question and you will know the real reason for the Board's action.

  4. As I learned long ago, most folks escalate situations by their own actions. Much like the person who cops an attitude with a cop finds they get 10 citations instead of a warning.

     

    Middle schoolers have a tendency to escalate small things into large things, and this one appears to have wanted a confrontation. That seems clear since he is the one who contacted the media.
