I present to you the most unreadable thing: http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=448360

A month long, 63 page thread that almost instantly devolves into Peyton vs Brady and stays there, forever.

You'd think that after the last three or four offseasons where just about every forum pertaining to anything to do with NFL has had the Manning vs Brady debate all that could be said would have been said.

Dan Snyder doesn't care about red people.

On an actual note, being australian I know nothing about Native Americans other than what I've learned watching Deadwood but I didn't think Redskin was a derogative term?

are people pissed off because they (non-native americans) use the name referring to native americans because native americans were systematically killed by the government or is it actually a derogatory term like negro or whatever else the cool kids at caste football are using these days?

Redskin or red man is on par with calling an asian person yellow. It's not a super-charged hateful term like some other racial slurs but it's not something you'd be ok calling someone casually without expecting them to get offended.

Wouldn't that be down to connotation though, like Obama's inaugural address IIRC

Yeah there was a bunch of phoney outrage on sportscenter for a couple days about Nick Saban being "abusive" or some poo poo. Meanwhile, Brett Favre would spank everyone on the field during the course of the game, including the umpire, and that earned him the title of "enthusiastic leader."

With Favre they wanted it.

Some patsfans have some interesting opinions about Manning potentially being out for the season.

It would be glorious for Indy fans

He was actually supposed to be really good coming out of highschool, but had some kind of congenital back problem that ended his career prematurely. :(

Yeah but then again if all else failed you've at least got two rediculously wealthy siblings to mooch off of.

The important thing is that he hated to say it. This is a man of courage with the strength of character to take on and give voice to unpleasant realities. Bravo.

I'm almost disappointed we didn't get "I'm not racist but".
