2021-2022 NFL Pick Em/Discussion Megathread

[NewYorkExpress]

You could always choose not to pick the Broncos/Steelers game and propose replacing it on the schedule with the Minnesota United vs Colorado Rapids match.

No, that's Association Football, so while I dont' speak for GeorgiaModerate, I wouldn't allow it, as it's entirely different sport altogether.

Gruden is out in Las Vegas, according to a bulletin during MNF.

Good call by the Raiders, though I have to wonder what kind of punishment Roger Goodell threatened them with to make this happen.

As for Gruden's replacement, I'd imagine a high-profile college coach would be the pick, so maybe Dabo Swinney gets the job, or Jim Harbaugh or Nick Saban make their returns to the NFL Head Coaching ranks.

When you are a public figure, you have to keep certain things to yourself. He has the right to have those thoughts.

If a Black coach said the same thing, he would have every right to say this, but keep these thoughts to yourself.

When you are a public figure, keep these things to yourself. Period.

Most people aren't racist and don't have to keep it to themselves.

With Baker Mayfield out tomorrow night, I'm switching my pick in the Browns/Broncos game from the Browns to the Broncos.

[NewYorkExpress]

The Washington Football Team's email scandal, and the league's response has gotten so convoluted that Representatives Carolyn Maloney and Raja Krishnamoorthi have asked the league to provide Congress with documents.

Two House Democrats sent a letter Thursday to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, demanding the league provide Congress with the results of the investigation into the Washington Football Team's workplace culture.

The five-page letter was written nearly two weeks after leaked emails led to Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden's resignation. His emails over a seven-year span, sent to then-WFT president Bruce Allen, included racist, anti-gay and misogynistic language.

It also led to renewed calls for the NFL to release the findings of an independent investigation, led by attorney Beth Wilkinson, into Washington's workplace.

There was no written report after the nearly year-long investigation, and the league has not released all the findings. According to an NFL spokesman, the league is not going to re-open the investigation or release the 650,000 emails it collected.

The letter, sent by Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-New York), who is the Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Illinois) asked the league to turn over a number of documents and answer numerous questions involving the investigation by Nov. 4.

They want the NFL to produce "all documents and communications obtained in connection with the investigation into the WFT, its management, its owners, and any other matter relating to or resulting from the WFT investigation."

They also want the NFL to detail its role in Wilkinson's investigation and why there was no written report after 150 people had been interviewed. It also raised concerns about non-disclosure agreements that former employees had signed. And it wanted to know the role of the NFL's general counsel, Jeff Pash, in the investigation. Pash's close relationship with Allen was revealed in some of the leaked emails on topics that ranged from jokes on the league's diversity initiatives to rescinding an NFL fine. Allen was fired at the end of the 2019 season.

The two Democrats wrote, "We have serious concerns about what appears to be widespread abusive workplace conduct at the WFT and about the NFL's handling of this matter. Communications between league management and WFT leadership also raises questions about the leagues asserted impartiality in these investigations."

With the early games finished, three people (ExtremeRepublican, NYDem, and S019) are 5-2, with a bunch at 4-3.  Due to byes, there are only 13 games on the schedule this week.

You have to let me know if I'm accidentally leaving games off the schedule.

With the early games finished, three people (ExtremeRepublican, NYDem, and S019) are 5-2, with a bunch at 4-3.  Due to byes, there are only 13 games on the schedule this week.

You have to let me know if I'm accidentally leaving games off the schedule.

I've done this for you earlier this season (at least in the college pick'em), but you didn't leave off any this week. 

I point out omissions when I see them, but this isn't guaranteed to happen; sometimes I'm still recording picks after games have started, in which case it's too late to provide a missing pick.  Also, I will point out an omission once in this thread; if the player still doesn't make the pick, I'm not going to chase them for it.  Ultimately, everyone is responsible for making sure all their picks are posted.

Not that. Since I'm hosting the pick'em, I would love a heads-up if I'm accidentally leaving games off of the actual NFL Schedule for the week.
