I'm not sure who I'd say had the best uniforms in the NFL but the Rams' "white on white" is BY FAR the worst.   They must have spent all the money they had on the stadium.   

 

They really were atrocious, and if it weren't for the Steeler's bumble bee prisoner throwbacks, the Rams' current unis would be worst of all. They almost looked pink. I gave thought to maybe adjusting the colors on my TV, but they had a closeup of Marsha after his second pick and he was the perfect shade of misery, so I left it alone.

The worst are the Bills color rush unis, that look like red pajamas.  Second-worst are the Jets color rush green PJs.

 

The two playing on Thursday Night Football looked like Christmas M&Ms playing.  It was awful.

 

That was the Bizzaro World Game.

The one where the color blind couldn't tell what team was which and flooded the network with phone calls.  And from the play on the field, you really couldn't tell which team was which.

What, you have a problem with these uniforms?

 

 

I have no idea who that kid is, but we all know there is only ONE real Blind Melon, and that's Blind Melon Chitlin'.

For most of the last 20 years, having the Bills and Jets both wear dark gray would have been entirely appropriate.

Yeah but I will always remember the red pajamas beating the Colts in the snow with the Joe Webb package.

Prayers for him and his family.

 

I'll admit, I worried this was similar to the KC homicide/suicide situation when I heard about it. I'm glad it's not that but still hope for the best for him and his family.

Fournette had a pretty bad game Monday Night after dropping a couple of Marsha passes. Granted, one of them was off-target, but still catchable. Then I see this...

 

 

Then I remember at the end of the game, when players are on the field shaking hands, there is a completely clean LeSean McCoy not used at all. Then I think about how KC didn't use him in the SB. Then I start wondering what the problem may be. He hasn't been used since the Sept. 13 game vs. the Saints.

 

What up, Shady?

That was so bad I’m  not sure if that tweet is sarcastic, or meant to be taken literally as in  “His vision must be something else, ‘cause it sure ain’t vision!”

What, you wanted an actually-good football game to watch on Thanksgiving?

Sadly, when I heard the news it reminded me of the situation in KC a few years back. Not saying this was like that, but I had the same sinking feeling.

I can't help but think "WTF" is an accurate acronym for the Redskins.
 

Washington Football Team wants QB Alex Smith back for 2021
 

</snip>
 

Now the starting quarterback for the Washington Football Team heading into today's game against the Cowboys, the team wants more of the 36-year-old Smith.
 

Coach Ron Rivera and his staff want Smith back for the 2021 season, sources say. A nod to not only his leadership in the quarterback room, but also simply how he's played. Smith has not said publicly or privately whether he wants to play in 2021, but he is under contract through 2022.
 

Smith is set to make $19 million next season, a perfectly reasonable rate for a bridge quarterback as WFT continues its search for its next franchise QB -- whether it's Dwayne Haskins , Kyle Allen or someone acquired in a trade or the draft.

Paul was a GREAT player at Syracuse back when they regularly fielded a very good football team.

Still has  the record for INTs in a season there. I believe it was 19.
