Who the hell names there kid Goo? He went from one of the worst names to one of the best names. No wonder he changed it and had it all thought out by then.

After this bullshit was posted in the Reddit /nfl sub forum, the mods decided to ban any further news in regards to the Redskins name unless it was ground breaking. (aka....they actually changing their name)

[quote]Hello folks,

With regards to the Redskins possible rename, we mods feel it would be best if we removed all articles regarding it UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE NAME IS ACTUALLY CHANGED OR THERE IS SIGNIFICANT NEWS FROM THE NFL OR THE REDSKINS.

The reasons for this are as follows:

The argument itself has been absolutely beaten into the ground in this sub, with the same two types of comments posted over and over, and at this point no value is being added.

(Here are the two points: Point 1: It's not racist. Point 2: It's racist, how would you feel if they were called the Washington insert slur here.)

There's no "debating", there's no agreement or common ground to be found.

The threads regarding the name all devolve into name calling and racial slurs being thrown about constantly, which as you all know, is against the rules of the sub.

It's a political topic, and politics are not discussed in r/NFL. Again, as a reminder, if and when the team changes it's name, we will obviously want to have discussion regarding that, but at this time there is no apparent end in sight for this debate.

Due to the above reasons, we will be removing any and all links to it until there are actual comments from the NFL/Redskins regarding a name change, truly significant news, or the subject is dropped for good.

Thanks, and we hope you understand, Mod team

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

If we are forced to change the name then it should be the Braves, the original name we had but I am totally against changing the Redskins name.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

I like Warriors for some unknown reason. I like Warriorz more but would unlikely have much support.

One of the common symptoms of Offseasonitis is a revert back to child-like behavior. Other symptoms include cases of the "dumbs", bipolar-like freakouts over the minor-est of injury, stupid-trade-scenaroitis, Shanny Hatte, and crowed assumption room.

Ya know, if there was one thing Vinnie did good, it was creating discussion topics throughout the off-season. Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan sure could learn a thing or two from Vinnie!!!

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;1007421]So two 27s?[/quote]

whoops; fail on my part. I guess Amerson could be 24. Yes I know we have two 24's again, with him and gomes, but with 90 guys on the roster and some 'retired' numbers, they're going to repeat.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

Not many good numbers the way it is now, I'm sure they will give Amerson first dibs on a # since he was first pick, I'll bet he goes with 27 Rambo and Thomas will probably get stuck with ugly 40 #s until after cuts are made and more 20s and 30s open up.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

#48 would be good for Rambo since he wore #18 in college.

Signing Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan is considered winning an offseason?

When Peyton Manning and Mario Williams were available.

People are forgetting the days of Vinny pretty fast if they are thinking we won last offseason. And no, I dont consider the trade for RG3 to be a Vinny winning the offseason move. Vinny would have offered $100 mil to Mario and then offered the house to acquire Mark Sanchez. RG3 was then, and still is today, a good move. And we all know that Vinny was allergic to good moves in his days here.
