Stadium belongs back in D.C.

Second option northern Virginia (inside of the beltway), but Richmond or some part of southern Va. will effectively cede a part of the DMV market to Baltimore.

Would be nice to see it back on the old site. No name change though. I like the idea of putting it up just behind National Harbor. Probably a traffic nightmare though.

DC is out with the name change BS

No doubt a traffic nightmare's nightmare as traffic here is already ranked among the worse in the nation. Quick question though, where behind the National Harbor? How much land is available close to or behind this site?

Not as much room back there as I thought. I guess I thought a year or so ago about putting in that corner between 295 and 495. Sure would smell sweet with water treatment plant just up the road. There just isn't any unused space inside the beltway and really not outside. The natural spot would to put where RFK is now.

I kinda thought that was the area you were referring to. Can you imagine the jokes if the team sucked and that treatment plant was still emitting some of the smells from past days? Shit would be brutal for fans of this team. I like the idea of going back to the old RFK site, building up children's island area as a recreational or theme park type thing, then finally and permanently fixing the streets instead of patching them up year after year.

 

[Sportster 72]

I saw a nice plan involving the island and talk about putting a replacement to the Phone Booth there also. Would be nice for DC. No name change talk though.

What was the extent of his injury? Just ACL or other ligaments?

Not sure, all I’m aware of is acl, same knee he injured in the past. I’ll see if there is some more detail out there but all indicators seem quite positive regarding his recovery so far

Did it cross anyone else’s mind as you watched the Jets pummel the Lions last nite that the Skins seemingly manhandled them during training camp? Will be interesting to see who the real Jets and Skins teams are in a few weeks.

What crossed my mind is Belicheck's coordinators haven't done much better than Gibbs coordinators did as HCs. The Lions looked horrendous.

True. And I’ve always liked Todd Bowles. Darnold seems a good fit for him and the Jets.

 

[Sportster 72]

I like Bowles also. It will be interesting to see where both the Lions and Jets go from here.

Hell, I'd take Andy Reed's coordinators over both of these guys trees!

Not my all time favorite coach but the Bill Walsh tree has probably begat more coaches than any and that is over several generations.
