That was originally PFTCommenter? Because it was a recent New Yorker cartoon. If they're biting him, he's really made it big time.

E: This is not a comment on NYrker's quality, just their level of obliviousness.

quote:

“[Y]ou’re always looking for ways to motivate your team,” Gruden told reporters on Wednesday. “Football is hard enough as it is. It’s a grind, obviously. But if you can find unique ways — and there’s a lot of doubters and a lot of haters that really had a lot of negative things to say about this franchise before the season about this team, and you should take it personally. This is their jobs. This is what they are paid to do. We have a lot of pride in this locker room, and for people to give us no respect whatsoever is insulting and it is a motivational tool. I’d be stupid not to use that, in my opinion – to an extent, obviously. But to challenge these guys and let them know that, ‘Hey, this is where we are. This is where we need to get. That’s a long way.’ I think they’ve accepted the challenge and have come a long way. But I try not to buy into what people say, but to an extent, I think it was important to let them know what the views are. It wasn’t just one publication — it was ESPN, it was PFT, it was CBS. It was all of them that had us in the 30, 31 or 32 [range]. It is what it is. We still have a long way to go obviously but we’re proud of what we’ve done so far but we have a long way to go.”

First, you’re welcome, Jay.

Second, it’s good to know you “try not to buy into what people say.”

Third, I’m sorry I assumed that Gruden’s mediocre, 7-7 team would be worse than mediocre.

The team is in contention for a playoff spot only because it’s currently the best team in one of the worst divisions in football. If Tony Romo’s collarbone hadn’t broken twice, Washington would have no chance to play beyond Week 17. And if/when they appear in a playoff game, at home against most likely the Seahawks, Washington may wish they didn’t make it to the playoffs at all.

Still, Gruden should be proud. He exceeded expectations. And, frankly, he should be glad the expectations were so low. Next year, they won’t be — which will put far more pressure on him than there was in 2015.

According to the American Cancer Society, the 5-year relative survival rate for stage IV throat cancers:

44% Glottis (part of the larynx including the vocal cords)
34% Supraglottis (part of the larynx above the vocal cords)
24% Hypopharynx
32% Subglottis (part of the larynx below the vocal cords) (Rare)

So yeah, this is really bad.

Egg avatars have a reputation in twitter as the troll avatar. A lot of trolls and angry assholes use throwaway accounts so if you see people dissing "Egg Avatars" or something like that they are referring to these people.

My favorite Omar Kelly moment is when he wrote a whole piece about them playing "Return of the Mack" at practice and how it was a veiled message because one of the lyrics was "you lied to me."
