The catch is you have to live in an apartment or area where you can't get their service.

Wooooah. 200 bucks for every Sunday NFL game this year? Might have to consider that.

Those concrete hands made the game winning, stretched, diving, drag-your-feet-inbounds catch to win a Super Bowl.

Rick Allen has better hands than Santonio Holmes.

Daniel Snyder kind of shoots himself in the foot.

“It's what the name actually means. I would like people to know the history. Whether it's Lone Star Dietz, whether it's Walter ‘Blackie' Wetzel in Montana, it's just historical truths. And I'd like them to understand -- as I think most do -- that the name really means honor, respect."

William "Lone Star" Dietz...

George Preston Marshall, owner and founder of the Boston Braves sought to rename the franchise in 1933 after leaving the stadium they shared with the baseball team of the same name. Marshall was said to have named the Redskins in honor of Dietz, who claimed to be of the Sioux Nation, by analogy with the Red Sox who shared the team's new home, Fenway Park. Although a 1933 news article quotes Marshall as saying that he did not name the team in honor of Dietz. However, Marshall is only talking about why he specifically chose Redskins. Dietz was hired before the name change and is cited in many articles and by Marshall as being a reason he kept the Native American theme when changing the team name.
...
In December 1918 the Federal Bureau of Investigation looked into his heritage after he fraudulently registered for the draft as a "Non-Citizen Indian" with an allotment. The Bureau found he had taken on the identity of James One Star, an Oglala man of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation 12 years his senior who had disappeared in 1894.

Oops.

Rep trolls for more votes.

"We are working with the Vikings to make every effort to eliminate the use of Washington's team name in promotional and game date materials and public address announcements," Kaler wrote. "They are participating in ongoing discussions with the University and American Indian community to ensure a peaceful, positive and safe event for fans while also providing space for protest and expression."

Maybe we can have a Not caring division of: Paul, Thib, TPR, Cake, and Unk (or throw Gordon in there somewhere).

They can autodraft and stuff.

Kelvin Benjamin caught a 29 yard TD pass with his first catch of the preseason.

Can't feel too smug, the other rookie WRs are ballin' too. Brandin Cooks(for the Saints) looked good too.

We still got a couple weeks to throw something together, but it's looking more and more like pick 'em.

That's not a bad idea. Except I'd rather we assign them names of people who wouldn't act all smug when their autopicked team won a game.
