2020-21 NFL Discussion & Pick 'Em Thread

[Terry the Fat Shark]

If no one objects, I would like to run it the same with the college football pick 'em is run. In essence, I post the games each week and everyone picks the winner of each game (or tie if you believe it'll tie). Each outcome predicted correctly = 1 point. If we want, we can change things up during the playoffs, but preferable we just keep it to correct prediction = 1 point even then. Just bold the team you think will win the game (or type the team out), or put TIE next to the game if you think it will tie.

With that being said, here's week 1:

I'm surprised people still care for the NFL.

A lot of people I know don't like it anymore

Lions TIE Bears

Dolphins TIE Patriots

If both of these hit, I propose we just call the whole thing off and declare you the winner.

Something tells, me this is Lamar Jackson's breakout year and instead of Chiefs winning, whom lost players due to opting out, Baltimore, with Ingram will win the title

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

A close friend of mine who's Native American has the theory that this is part of a long game to provide themselves with an excuse to go back to the slur in a few years, and honestly, I can sort of see that.

If the sexual harassment allegations against Dan Snyder that have been unearthed recently prove true, and he's forced to sell the team, they aren't going back.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29803404/ex-washington-football-team-employees-want-owner-dan-snyder-removed

An attorney for 20 former Washington Football Team employees said her clients want the organization to have "accountability and change" and said that won't happen until owner Dan Snyder has been removed.

Lisa Banks told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap on Outside the Lines that the issues reported in two Washington Post stories this summer have been ongoing for two decades under Snyder.


"Well, it's certainly not about making a hire or changing a policy," Banks told Schaap. "The tone, the culture comes from the top. And here, I don't see us having meaningful change without a change in ownership."

The Washington Post spoke to 40 ex-employees who described a pervasive atmosphere of sexual harassment. They did not allege Snyder was involved. One former employee, Brad Baker, said a video was made for Snyder from secret footage of a cheerleader shoot in 2008. Other former employees denied that charge. Snyder has denied that he requested such a video.

<snip>

Banks and Debra Katz, who also represents the former employees, sent a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell last week stating they wanted Snyder suspended pending the outcome of a now-independent investigation. And, according to the letter, they wanted Snyder removed as owner depending on what the investigation corroborated or uncovered. They also pushed for the NFL to take over the investigation by attorney Beth Wilkinson, which the league indeed has done.

In the "only could happen to the Jets department", Josh Bellamy, released by the team as of Tuesday, just got arrested for fraud involving PPP loans. Among the spending, is $95,000 on custom jewelry, $5,381 at Gucci, $2,014 at Dior and $62,000+ at the Seminole Hard Hotel and Casino.
