Our local school used to be the 'Mohawks'...then someone got up in arms and now it's the 'White Hawks'.

LOL what irony

I don't know about others, but in my head I can make a distinction about 'appropriateness' between Fighting Sioux, Blackhawks,  Braves.....and Redskins.

Roger Goodell and the NFL are not too happy to have Super Bowls

in participant cities, like L.A. this year. To remedy the situation the 

league is considering designating Arlington, Texas for future games

or at least for another 35 years!

I watched some of the Pro Bowl today.   The intensity of the game brought back memories of some touch football games I’ve played in on church retreats.

Ya ~

I haven't watched a Pro-Bowl in several years.

To say I was surprised by what I saw today would be a massive understatement.

Not really sure what that was, but certainly wasn't a brand of 'football'

I'd travel & pay to see.

I get it, but wow.

That was some weak salad.

If you want a refresher on what football used to be like, here’s a pro bowl highlight for ya

First you tube comment noted that "Moorman got up, but his soul respawned in another dimension."

The pro bowl and other major pro all star games have generally all been a joke.  The players that are represented are primarily chosen by the fans, so its just a popularity contest.  Plus in the NFL, the players chosen often "pass" on participating, so they have to go down the list to someone else anyways.  In the other sports, each team has to have a representative present, so you may not even have some players present who are having a really good season.

 

Really, the only one that had any significance was the MLB All Star game.  And that was because the winning conference in that game was able to be the home team in the World Series.  Even that is now gone down the drain too after the Bud Selig debacle year in Milwaukee ended in a "tie."

 

That being said, some players have a bonus built into their contract that indicates they will receive a bonus if they make the pro bowl or all star game.

Rw , you are correct , but the wrong stadium. Ford field is where the nfl decided to make the permanent home for the super bowl.  Go  CINCI!

Safe bet having it at Ford field from now on.

Favre 2.0 

[gim]

It’s not like he’s slowing down. He led the league in most major QB stats last season. Just continues to defy Father Time.

[Jigfishn10]

Deep down I didn't see him retiring. For years he said he wanted to play until he was 45. This year will be that year.

Please tell me it won't be that fiasco. How many time did Favre come out of retirement? 3?

He changed his mind, he wants to play in New England 1 last time.

I believe Favre did it twice.  He initially retired from the Packers, retired, joined the Jets for one season, retired again, and then joined the Vikings for 2 seasons.  His first season with the Vikings was actually his best season from a statistical stand point during his entire career and they lost in the NFC Championship to the Saints.  His second year with the Vikings didn't turn out so well.  The only reason I remember this is because that was the season that the Metrodome roof collapsed because of heavy snow.

2 months at home with his wife and kids and decided that was too much, had to come back to work ?
