This is TRUE equality. The guy didn't perform well enough to make a loaded Rams roster on DL and was not given any special consideration.Funny you bring up Jackie Robinson. Robinson wasn't the first black baseball player in MLB, Moses Fleetwood Walker was. You know why you've never heard of him? Because he sucked ASS. Let an openly gay player come along that's actually good, then we can celebrate that player's on the field accomplishments rather than who they go to bed with every night.

All agree that Sam had an uphill battle to get on the team, especially with those linemen the defense has. They also say he should go to the Allas Cowboys, they have no D and need help.

DCarp1231 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Someone please explain to me how the Redskins seem to always play the Rams and Vikings (or Lions) every year...Granted the Redskins play the NFC West this year so the Rams have to be in the schedule, but it seems like every year the wind up playing those three teams and now it might be starting with the Buccaneers too... Was it some agreement they have with those teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington plays the teams that finished in the same divisional place as they did; if they finish 4th, they play the same teams that finished 4th in their own divisions.

It wasn't because the NFL just decided they wanted to schedule a rivalry game between Manning and Brady. It was because they both finished first in their division every year (though one of the intentions behind the scheduling system using divisional rankings for the two flex games was that it would allow for cross-divisional rivals to play more often).

I have a feeling you'll find your own way out of here eventually. The bad apples always do. People have said this the whole two years I've been on the boards. Fact of the matter is that differing opinions do not warrant a ban. Sorry to be the one to inform you.Mallett to the Texans is an intriguing move. I wonder how similar BOB's scheme and terminology are and how soon we may see Mallett start.Also worth noting Vic Tarfur is reporting that Derek Carr will start for Oakland against the New York Jets. Who woulda thunk the only rookie QB starting on opening weekend would be Derek Carr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
