Like I said last week, it’s absolutely imperative to nail the draft every year. It’s the best way to build your team for the long term.

For as many players who disappoint and fail to meet expectations, there is an equal number of players on a roster who shatter the expectations that fans, coaches, and analysts set out for them before the season.

New ad asking Redskins to change the name
The Oneida Change the Mascot campaign has a new ad out asking the Washington ‘Skins to change the name of the team. It’s simple and effective, though I doubt it will sway the minds of those who now see keeping the name as a matter of principle. The Oneida did not get permission from the NFL to use this footage so I don’t know how long this ad will last. Here it is.
