Yeah, that's a good price if your team is out of market.
You're a Mountaineer?Well, that's what I mean...if Indians, Braves, etc. are acceptable because they're "not derrogatory names", then yeah...the Warriors idea works...and at least the team keeps 95% of its identity. Seriously, the city's basketball team changed its name from the Bullets because they realized it was kind of irresponsible in an area known for its problems with crime. I tell ya, for the nation's capital, they sure did a shitty job naming the sports teams, lol :lol:
As for the cartoony Cleveland logo...that's where it starts to turn into a slippery slope for me. It's not like they depict him holding a bottle of whiskey or welcoming you to a casino (see, now [customspoiler='this'][/customspoiler]would be offensive, lol). A lot of sports logos (and especially mascots) are goofy and cartoony.
For that matter, any team named the Mountaineers (like my alma mater, haha) should have to change its logo/mascot/name if any of those mountain people actually had internet and knew how to file a petition, lol. If the only way they're comfortable with the logo is to make it very basic and boring, then the team shouldn't be named after them.
He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he means Appalachian State.You're a Mountaineer?
Hope they stink it up less this year.
burritoman's statement applies to App as well.He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he means Appalachian State.

Haha, very true. The football team definitely went downhill after Armanti Edwards graduated. It'll be interesting seeing how they do with the jump to FCS. Of course, as soon as my freaking college changes conferences/divisions, to where they'd finally be included in an EA NCAA football game...there is no more NCAA football game.burritoman's statement applies to App as well.
agreedYou can blame both IMO. Goodell wants as much offense as possible but Seattle has been holding receivers for 3 years in the secondary.
Later report near the end of July revealed that Gordon had tested positive for marijuana, but that the level of THC metabolites were 16 nanograms per millimeter (barely over 16.01 parts per billion) in one of his samples and above the league's absurdly low threshold of 15 ng/ml to consist of a "positive."
That threshold is higher than any other major sport, including the very strict IOC, which stands at 175 ng/ml. Even air traffic controllers can have a level up to 50.
Effective immediately, violations of the Personal Conduct Policy regarding assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault that involve physical force will be subject to a suspension without pay of six games for a first offense, with consideration given to mitigating factors, as well as a longer suspension when circumstances warrant. Among the circumstances that would merit a more severe penalty would be a prior incident before joining the NFL, or violence involving a weapon, choking, repeated striking, or when the act is committed against a pregnant woman or in the presence of a child. A second offense will result in banishment from the NFL; while an individual may petition for reinstatement after one year, there will be no presumption or assurance that the petition will be granted. These disciplinary standards will apply to all NFL personnel.
It seems fair. I wonder if NFLPA will agree.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/28/roger-goodells-letter-to-nfl-owners-on-domestic-violencet/
Roger Goodell wrote a letter to NFL owners about their new rules, policies, and programs about domestic violence and sexual assault. Here's the part about the new standard for penalties:
I think you are right but it's a step in the right direction. Plus, let's remember that we are talking about Goodell here... the man just doesn't give a . He's a modern day dictator.I have my doubts that the public would have been satisfied with a Ray Rice 6 game suspension.
I don't think they're going to just start suspending people without looking into what happened.Could be a lot of angry "ex-housewives" claiming (domestic) abuse or using it as leverage to punish former husband/baby fathers etc.
Does the player have to be charged? Or just accused?
Wasn't Hope Solo just charged for domestic abuse against a sister/nephew a few weeks ago? I remember it because that week I saw her face plastered all over Nike billboards when I was in Ocean City for vacation
Modern day dictator? He has the power over nothing but a game lol. He runs it as he sees fit considering he is the CEO of an entertainment industry.I think you are right but it's a step in the right direction.

I was being facetious in using the term dictator in relation to Goodell but I'm certainly not the first one to do so. Here are a few links to get you started.Modern day dictator? He has the power over nothing but a game lol. He runs it as he sees fit considering he is the CEO of an entertainment industry.
Peyton Manning notified by NFL he is fined $8,200 for taunting of DJ Swearinger. No appeal. Peyton: "I accept it. Money well spent."
Do you think he can stay out of trouble until his suspension is over?NFL trying to make up for the wrist slap on Ray Rice with yesterdays PR memo and over punishing Aldon Smith. Goodell said that they would take Smith's missing 5 games for rehab into account but I guess Rice ed that up.
They broke it down to 4 games substance abuse and 5 for conduct.
On the brightside, he'll be back in time and be well rested to face Seattle.

We are half way there. Just wait until the social media outrage starts to pour in.Well we have our first 6-game ban under new rules.
@newsdamian: BREAKING: Sources: #49ers DL Ray McDonald popped for domestic violence. Confirming with Niners.
Unreal.
