So noticing a trend here on these survey lists. There's ONE good, "popular" choice on each.

Redwolves, Warriors, Red Tails and Red Hogs aren't going up against each other. Football Team and Redtails are matched up though, so one will be going away. The competition for each are all garbage, ridiculous names with no hope of being accepted.

I think we're seeing the strategic development of the final choices with the appearance of "listening to all fans who made a submission".[/quote]

I said the exact same thing. This entire process is calculated. You throw enough garbage names out there people will be distracted with the trash name they won’t be fighting over the most popular names.

If they are that is incredibly shoddy statistical analysis. No variable control what so ever. For all we know 100,000 11 year old boys are the ones voting. That being said that would be on par for the last 20 years.

It depends on the reliance they put on the data. I doubt that poll is the defining factor but you can use it to gauge some relative intensities. Even if it is 100,000 11 year old boys (which by the way for an NFL team that would be your ideal target - the bond formed rhen will last those boys lifetime ask my son the eli manning/nyg fan :( ) the energy behind the voting gives you some information.

These polls are designed to make the fans feel involved and their opinion valued. I doubt WFT cares what the fans prefer and will choose whatever name the organizations prefers.

Now if one choice were to blow everything away I think a good organization would take note, but I don't think any option out of the top 4 will dominate the fan selection so ultimately everyone will rally behind whatever name is selected even as bland as WFT, or lame as Warriors.

THE DAN is the real turd here. This isn't just about his childish vindictiveness, it is about trying to intimidate others into shutting up, and probably his obsession with knowing who ratted him out.

Who knows what actually happened, but Bruce perhaps telling people what a turd Dan is wouldn't surprise me, nor would his involvement in the turdery.

But it all starts with THE DAN. Bring in RR, resurrect Lombardi, it won't matter. We'll never win a SB as long as THE DAN owns the team. He is like Napoleon and Caligula all wrapped up in one. His turdery is the gift that keeps on giving and always will. He is a truly, truly, truly evil human being. Not just misunderstood, not just goodhearted with some flaws, but a true evil shitburger of a human being.

Smart move, obviously. Potential never equaled production.

In other unsurprising news, no one signed Smith and he retired. Two points on that:

1. Wish the guy well, incredible human being and story.
2. Cutting him was absolutely right move. His agent certainly called all 32(1) teams, and he couldn't even get on as 3rd string backup. We were paying franchise QB money to a guy other teams wouldn't even pay the league minimum. Be so good next year when completely free and clear of mistakes of old for good--or until THE DAN inevitably meddles.

He could have been great, but like Reuben Foster and Junior Galette...you can't just wait on a guy to get healthy for 3 years without getting on the field, it's a wasted roster spot.

And I want a threesome with Helen of Troy and Cleopatra.

I think for good money he agrees to be a 2nd or even 3rd stringer.

No team should let him be presumptive starter. Even pre-injury 100% healthy he was just an average QB. Great guy, but was just detached from reality thinking anyone would want him to start or even trust him to be primary backup. If he could have made $5M plus to be a backup, something respectable, I bet he takes it, but we again have a player that only Skins were dumb enough to pay big money. Hopefully last of old FO errors we're still paying for.

Maybe maybe not. Big programs cover up the misdeeds of athletes. Everywhere. Takes some real sleuthing to find out the BS lots of times.

Arrogant GMs and coaches can always convince themselves talent outweighs character or that they will keep him in line. You don't win drafting criminals.

Big money. Coaches making $5M a year or more, and universities making more off football programs than tuition, care about winning and keeping the gravy train rolling, and you thus have tutors do all the schoolwork and fixers that coverup all misdeeds. Remember Carroll the mess he left coming to NFL? Then of course when the shizznit hits fan everyone plays dumb and feigns being apalled.
