Agreed. Let them stay focused on the game.

Cowboys lose pass rusher for the year already to injury:

Sounds like this loss may be significant with the losses of Armstrong and Fowler.

Re: Around the NFL training camp/preseason 2024
 

Never like to see that. Even for the Cowboys. Fingers crossed we avoid these kinds of injuries.

Dumb as fuck.

Prepare for more generic horseshit interviews filled with passive aggressiveness from the HC bc they hate being bothered during the game.

"We need to play harder in the second half."

"We made too many mistakes, we gotta tighten up."

"Overall I'm pleased with our effort but we gotta stay ready in the second half."

lol if I was a HC I'd have those 3 responses ready to go each week.

I just hope they don't start interviewing players on the field like they do with MLB on ESPN.

I fucking having the Braves play on national broadcasts for this reason. I'm trying to watch a fucking baseball game here, not a talk-show. ESPN is the worst for games.

And even if they force that shit on us, there should never be a split screen while the game is going on. I don't need to see Bryce Harper to know it's him and listen to him.

This shit grinds my gears so much.

How do you really feel?

Seriously, I’m with you. I hate things that detract from the actual game.

So passionate I left out the most important word "hate".

It's just frustrating that real fans get screwed. But seriously, is there even an outpouring among casual fans for fake interviews during a game? Especially during a football game. The NFL just knows we're all in too deep, and they take advantage.

It’s weird. I seriously don’t know of anyone who finds this appealing - not sure why they do it if no one is interested. I hope Quinn pulls a Coach McGinty and just walks away muttering, “Heart.”

I can only imagine the Bellichik reaction to this. That would actually make for good tv.

Media and advertising execs sit around having conversations about how to attract more people to the telecasts who aren’t that into the sport (those ppl are already watching). Their audience size is never enough. So they add all this superfluous bullshit that just pisses off true fans.

Instead, they should be focusing on the game and explaining things that make audiences understand and appreciate the sport. My wife has been watching baseball with me for 10 years now and she wants to know why the bunt wasn’t on with no outs, not how did the previous batter “feel about that hit” or how many tix the player was able to get for his family.

W/o even watching that, Jayden Daniels was the only right choice. This wasn't a 51/49 type thing. There was a superior player and an inferior player. We drafted the superior player. This man is as smooth as eggs:

My bad. I was watching clips earlier, so videos were on my mind. Point still stands about Jayden. I'm pretty confident we found a real one.

A surprise: #Titans G Saahdiq Charles, who has been taking most of the starting reps at RG during camp, is retiring.

Wow, I'm guessing there must be something serious going on with him to simply give up the job.

More bad news for 2024 draft picks. They're dropping like flies. Seems like it happens every year.

Re: Around the NFL training camp/preseason 2024
 

Up date , McCarthey is done for the season with the Vikes.

Re: Around the NFL training camp/preseason 2024
 

Sucks for McCarthy but it could be a blessing in disguise for him as it will give him a year to learn NFL with no pressure.

Crazy McCarthy is already hurt. I was looking forward to seeing him play this year.

Re: Around the NFL training camp/preseason 2024
 

Now that Cousins is gone, I'm gonna pull for Minnesota (played with their HC at SDSU, well he played, I practiced). I'd much rather watch McCarthy than Darnold.

I respect his genius business acumen but just did not like the way his leaving here went down.

I don't think we can put the blame 100% on Cousin, it's well documented that Bruce Allen failed miserably as GM here (i.e., see Williams situation & team dynamics) so I'm sure he has some fault in the Cousin situation.

Re: Around the NFL training camp/preseason 2024
 

Snyder and Bruce fucked it up with Cousins, why would he have wanted to stay here?

Definitely not 100%, hell probably not even 50%, but I still put some blame on him. I'm just not a fan of his. So I'm glad he didn't win shit w/ the Vikings. He will probably get benched at some point this year for Penix.

Huh? I was trying to state that it sucks that he got hurt, as I'd be much more interested in watching if he was playing vs. Darnold playing.

Question. I'm thinking of taking my brother to the Buc Redskins game as today I just found out he has about a year (or less) to live. He's no longer very mobile how hard is it to get to the seats in a wheel chair? Has anyone been to the Bucs stadium that can give me advice? (Looking at 3 seats next to an aisle but halfway down the section fIgure it will be stairs.

Re: Around the NFL training camp/preseason 2024
 

I will never understand why Kirk Cousins is hated in DC more than RGIII. Kirk was never a diva, he never refused to run plays or fail to study film. No he simply used the system available to him to maximize his earnings. Other than Tom Brady name me one professoinal athlete who has not tried to maximize their earnings in the small window they have? I'll wait.


Not that it was used here but "He didn't want to be here" is such a lame reason to hate on the guy. These are fans who have witnessed first hand what it was like to be a Washington Redskins under Daniel Snyder. Why on Earth WOULD he want to be here?

Sorry to hear about your brother. The stadium has accessible seating for people in wheel chairs.
