Man, when you see what the likes of Manning, Rivers, Rodgers, Brees, and Brady did this weekend, it is hard not to be incredibly envious of the teams that have franchise QBs. Year in and year out, these guys produce, and their teams are always competitive as a result. While a good D is essential to winning a SB (because there are enough teams with firepower to get to the post-season), a franchise QB really is essential for sustained success.

I really hope RGIII comes back and shows he can be the QB of the present and future. Or we will continue to flounder until we find one.

Probably a tad insensitive to the thousands of people who have lost loved ones to the epidemic.

I spotted this yesterday. Funny stuff, this is his welcome to the NFL WTF are you doing moment.

I could see if the game is in Africa or broadcasted there. I didn't see it as some insensitive joke that mocked or made these deaths trivial. He could have used any "disease/virus" on the poster, and any of them listed would have caused deaths at sometime in history.

Probably not a good idea for a mascot to mock epidemics period. You don't think there are people in the US with family in Africa that have died?

I hate that Chip Kelly says this, but I agree wholeheartedly

Chip: "In this league, where everything is so close...the hidden yardage that can be found in the special teams game, you need to address."

Agree. That's a great quote. It was the difference again in their game and looked what happened to the lions this weekend, 3 missed field goals and they lose by 3. Prater is probably going there

Not to mention what is happening in Dallas

He just had to deflect attention from him getting burned by DJax.

Two colleagues just lost their jobs over an altercation that began with a joke about Ebola.

Unless you're a comedian, South Park writer, or any position in which you can make offensive jokes in an environment in which people expect it, it's probably a dumb idea.

What are you talking about? Cause it wasn't what he was referring to, re-read those last few posts.

DJax scorched Sherm, Garcon pulled his dreads? He should have gotten open for the go ahead score.
