Redskins General 2020 NFL Thread

[SunnySide]

Heard on the radio this morning from teh skins beat reporter for the richmond dispatch..

VA has more season ticket holders than MD

Training Camp will be held at the same location as the new stadium, as an added bene to the teams sales pitch to MD, DC and VA localities.

Springfield mall area -- where he thinks it will ultimately be. Thinks everyone wants RFK but its just not possible. As a Marylander, it looks kinda deep into VA, that commute for Montgomery and Frederick County will be brutal .. 495 to 95 then down 95.

Plus VA cops and troopers are the fucking worst when it comes to pulling people over. If you go something like 16 mph over the speed limit, you get a ticket for reckless driving, have to hire one of their "local" attorneys, pay a fine, go to driving school .... they use tickets as fixed income for their budgets.

My girlfriend lives just a couple miles from the Springfield Mall, if they put a new stadium in that area it would be a traffic nightmare getting in and out. That area is jammed up enough as it is.

You are right about the police here, 11 over can get you reckless in a 70. They also write tickets for chicken crap stuff other cops won't. I got an expired inspection sticker ticket from a county sheriff. I was trying to find myself on the court docket so I could pay it ASAP and forget about it. I decided to start counting up all the cases by officers names, it was easy to estimate many of them were writing 20-30 tickets a day. They were also throwing the book at people. There were a lot of tickets with 4-5 infractions on them. I knew plenty of cops from many generations back when I was in Cali, common practice depending on the perp's attitude was to just write for the most serious offense and knock it down a notch. Not the guys here, I saw one guy got reckless for 81 in a 70, plus expired inspection sticker, with cracked windshield and improperly installed child seat.

Metro - im guessing more than 50% of the fans will take it vs driving. You lose that tailgate atmosphere though.

But anything is better than the current fed Ex.

Caps and Nats games are all metro fans and, while its not 70K fans, the metro to caps and nats games have always been easy and quick for me.

VA - surprisingly, one of the few states that gave me a break criminal charge wise .. twice!

Aren't you lucky. My girlfriend's two stupid sons got into a bar fight, with each other. One of them just turned 21 and had a few too many. The fight happened when the older brother tried to get the other one to leave as he was starting to cause trouble. The cops actually even piled domestic violence charges on top of everything because they were related. The judge tossed all the charges against the older one out and hit the younger one for drunk in public. Most cops I used to know would have called those guys a cab and said they don't want to hear from them again.
