I also look forward to Jordan Reed's 3.5 healthy games and 5 ineffective injured games.

Former Redskins cheerleaders defend topless and 'pimped out' Costa Rica trip
Two former Washington Redskins cheerleaders opened up about their experience with the team to the Today show. The women defended the NFL team against allegations of inappropriate behavior during a 2013 trip to Costa Rica.
In a New York Times report, five women claim that the cheerleaders were forced to pose topless and serve as escorts to wealthy male sponsors during the trip.
Rachel Gill and Charo Bishop, however, say those allegations are untrue. While appearing on the morning show Friday, the women stressed that while they couldn’t speak on behalf of their former teammates’ feelings, they didn’t feel any pressure during the trip.
“All optional. Voluntary,” Bishop said. “Some girls were excited to do those things. In terms of being an escort, that was never a perception I had. I think that being friendly and receptive and welcoming to sponsors is completely different than being an escort.”
Gill, who attended the Costa Rica trip but did not go to the nightclub, also defended the cheerleaders’ interaction with the male sponsors.
“Those terms ‘pimped out,’ ‘escort,’ they just need to stop because it’s absolutely not what happened,” she said.
Both Gill and Bishop were asked to speak on behalf of the Redskins.
In a statement, Redskins president Bruce Allen said the team was “looking into” the allegations but added that “a number of” cheerleaders had different accounts than what was reported in the New York Times.
“Based on the dialogue we’ve had with a number of current and former cheerleaders over the past 48 hours, we’ve heard very different first-hand accounts that directly contradict many of the details of the May 2 article,” Allen said

Someone sounds a little threatened. What do you expect dude, that you can waffle each offseason about retiring repeatedly and keep the team on a string?


Ben Roethlisberger 'Surprised' Steelers Drafted Mason Rudolph, Won't Mentor QB — Bleacher Report

In another forum someone liked a Cowherd clip about the whole Big Ben scenario that essentially ended up being a millennial hit piece, but his core point was that you need to respect veterans in the league and that all the young guys got hurt while Brees, Ben, and Brady were all standing tall at the end.

I just don't get it. Ben's been hurt quite a few times the last few years, has openly talked about whether he was gonna play the following year, and has had a team stand behind him through a litany of allegations and the minute they get a new guy to develop/backup he throws a fit? Ridiculous.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Danny boy literally bribed these women to defend the team’s actions. This hardly refutes the NYT story.

Precisely. Snyder and his henchmen have zero track record of ever being on the right side of anything. He is a disgusting person who surrounds himself with bootlickers. Two strategically placed cheerleaders doesn't magically give them credibility.

Stop trying so hard guys. If there’s something, more will come forward. I think it’s getting exaggerated and won’t be surprised if more come forward defending them.


Zero chance this brings down Snyder as an NFL owner, even as much as we want it.

I'm not trying to do anything... simply pointing out that Snyder is an ass hat. Ranting about Snyder is cathartic.

Jonathan Allen has switched from #95 to #93 and Lanier has #72 so Christian will have a different number once the roster is whittled down.

I hope we learned from last season, to not hold out hope that Reed will get better. We needed his roster spot more than ever before, yet didn't IR him until our season was trash, if we even did. Inactive. No, he was not inactive. He was injured!

One would hope they learn their lesson from last year. Especially with the IR designation to return option now.
