Are the Skins still going to win the offseason?

Already won it in my book. This is probably the best move Dan has made since he bought the team. Let's hope his patience and Scott's demons stay at bay.

On the bright side, there are millions of fully functional and productive drunks and junkies in this country at any given moment. Many will finally figure it out and go clean, restoring them to a full life without the other incumbent problems.
If you are in a meeting at work with 10 people, on average 2 are drunks/junkies. The fun part is figuring out who they are.
Make NO mistake, I am totally behind this deal and very excited at the prospect!!
As has been said, there may be hope for us yet! HTTR....

Is that why everyone in the room is always staring at me?
Well, that and my Jack Daniels aftershave.

Seems like a great move but I'll grade it in a couple of years. Been a fan since 86 and this has been one of the more demoralizing years to watch. Cancelling the NFL package.

He may have continued it, but made us that way? We were that way long before Bruce entered the picture.

Lol. Poor choice of words on my part.

In response to a claim that Bruce makes us look more professional, I should have said, "Bruce continues a brilliant lineage, one which includes Bozo the Clown, that makes us laughingstocks."

Come on - really? Alcoholism is a lifetime problem, always with relapses.

There is near certainty this will be a problem again.

Personally I think an alcoholic really cannot continue to drink beer or any alcohol, it's heading to disaster. Is there anything wrong with drinking beer? Not for you or me perhaps, but for an alcoholic it's just disaster. The real question is only when he will relapse, how will he deal with it, and who his support circle will be to help him with it. If he develops a good friend/support circle, he can get through his relapses without losing his career / his life. And not to mention developing cirrhosis by 50 years old. Mark my words, if his eyes start to turn yellow and his belly gets real big - his liver is failing.

Anyway, I still love the move, well worth the risks. Would be nice to still have AJ Smith as backup if McCloughan can't keep it together over the next few years.

I had the NFL package when it was born up till 2010 when I moved East. I thought they were giving it away or at a steep discount now.

Is this a done deal or not? I'm seeing reports he still interviewing with the Raiders and Jets.

SFREDSKIN · 01-07-2015, 01:42 AM

yeah, rumors floating around about deal not signed yet.

Bucket · 01-07-2015, 02:01 AM

Deal is done. Just working out the money

SFREDSKIN · 01-07-2015, 02:07 AM

Doesn't the Rooney rule apply to GM hires too? Were any African American candidates interviewed?
