OT: Washington Redskins 2018 Season: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Piece on Troy Apke from back in April.

Q. Give me a player that you look up to at the NFL level. I understand you came in as a wide receiver, so it could be a receiver, could be a defensive back – just a player that you turned on the TV that you look up to.

A. A guy that I’ve actually watched a lot of film on, I like the way he plays, is D.J. Swearinger. He plays for the Washington Redskins now. I like the way he plays and the energy he brings. I’ve watched a lot of film on him.

What a loser. I’ll grant him that the logo is racist but laughing and blasting your former employer — who gave him another shot at the NFL after he got cut by 3 different teams and went sitting on his couch unsigned for 2 months during the season in 2016 — just shows this guy is a turd.

More importantly, he had no problem with the logo when he was collecting a check from the team. Good riddance.

He is a local guy as well. Went to Gonzaga in DC.

Please, please, please let this cheerleader thing destroy Snyder.

Not sure it will. It hasn't blown up to the point it would need to in order to force out an owner of an NFL team.

 

[Beef Invictus]

If we try hard and believe in ourselves, this fanbase can do it.

Hmmm, should I trust the Washington Redskins and their band of cronies regarding this cheerleader/human trafficking scandal, or the New York Times with actual journalistic standards?

It's a really easy choice.

While I agree 100% with your premise, I wish it was a publication other than the NYT.

 

[twabby]

The NYT employs some terrible opinion writers but in terms of reporting facts they and the Post are the best in the business. No reason not to believe them IMO

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Peter King leaving SI. End of an era.

agreed, i dont read it anyways so i cant really say for sure, but seems like new york times is always getting in trouble for something

 

[Calicaps]

Times has its flaws, but it's overall very reliable. When you're trying to get news coverage (not fake news) it's still the A-#1 gold standard.

 

[hockeykicker]

what i want to know is what cheerleaders the skins interviewed. was it also former cheerleaders like the times or was it current cheerleaders that were there

Lol. Right on.

So a “bit” player needs to make a name for himself, because the team decided drafting a few GOOD players meant his demise?

Shocker.

Giants will end up dumping his fat ass in a nothing move (covered by no one save junkies) sometimes in late September.

Guy is a farce of a person. Much less an NFL player

1yr at say 4m. I would be fine with that. he's not a bad player, by any stretch.

I sign him to a short deal for a reasonable price.

He must be so bitter.

Please let it be over.
