NFL 2020 Season: We're gonna bite a kneecap off

[137th Gebirg]

Yeah, let's go with that...

 

[BillJ]

Antonio Brown unretires... again.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

DC NFL team renamed ‘Washington Football Team’ for now.

Give me a break. How long could it possibly TAKE to come up with a new name?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Antonio Brown retires... again.

Antonio Brown unretires... again.

But hey AB, definitely let us know when you re-retire again.

A guy is sitting on a bunch of copyrighted names. So that will require negotiation.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Oh, bloody hell. All about the fucking lawyers, innit?

Nah. Trademarks require proof of usage. He's being a troll but he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.

From what I've heard he has been printing the names on logos to demonstrate usage.

Actual demonstrable business usage, though, and that's a fairly high standard to meet, legally. He's going to get smacked down in court.

Yeah, and hangs up an NFL team in the process. He apparently did this years ago from what I was hearing.

 

[Thestral]

I think in the meantime until they smack him down in court, going with "Washington Football Team" makes sense.

 

[Aragorn]

Jets trade Jamal Adams and a fourth round pick to the Seahawks for Bradley McDougald, two first round picks and a third round pick. Deal is pending physicals.

I would’ve gotten rid of Gase instead.

Todd Gurley is not having it.

It remains to be seen if they start the season.

Gurley’s right. I don’t blame him for being skeptical and especially for not trusting the league. Making the proposed face shields on helmets optional shows the NFL is out of touch with reality.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I'm less worried about the players dying from COVID than I am their older family members if there's no NBA style bubble.

 

[BillJ]

The MENSA duo of Quinton Dunbar and DeAndre Baker have been placed on the Commissioner’s exempt list.

Boy, the rules sure are set up for the rich people to keep winning.

How is this guy not a capitalist hero? Saw a potential for future demand, acted on it, and waited for his investment to mature.

I thought that's what we were supposed to do?
