But enough about the Dallas Cowboys.

RIP Dwight Clark

Eagles trip to the White House has been canceled due to lack of interest on the part of the players.

I can’t imagine why.

I miss the times when a football team would go to rub the Presidents face in it when he was a fan of a rival team like Obama is a Chicago Bears fan:

Can't get here soon enough. I love summer but for me it's nothing compared to fall Saturdays and Sundays where I know I'm going to watch football nonstop.

Same.

[Batman1980]

Good days for running in the morning and then sitting in front of the TV and watching the Dallas Cowboys.

That’s a bingo.

OK showing that the XFL may be making serious moves to be a real competitor they have hired Oliver Luck to be CEO/commissioner.

With the NBA season all but over essentially, I'm looking forward to football season, will be here before you know it.

RIP Dwight Clark. I was only 3 when The Catch happened but growing up in a Niners household you were made aware of that moment as soon as possible.

[Rodney-2187]

The AAF is looking much better than the XFL at this point, but I am ready to watch both. Always room for more football, especially since I don't really follow baseball, basketball, or hockey. I would actually prefer soccer to those. I wish it got more coverage.

I get it, but I find it sad. I guarantee there are a few players who would love to make the trip, if just to see the White House, ignoring Trump all together. But we live in an environment where you get attacked unless you are competing to be the world's biggest Trump hater, and we have been since like 18 months before the election.

I’m cautiously optimistic, but Mort reports that Wentz is “shockingly” ahead of schedule on his knee rehab.
Will continue walking on eggshells!

[Batman1980]

Carson Wentz participating in 7 on 7 pat and go drills is great after that horrific end zone injury.

The first bullet point or "sign" I checked out which claims 439 deaths by police this year. Well that would be total as in actually only 83 deaths are that of black people, in fact whites are clearly the most with almost 200 deaths this year.It also doesnt account for what crimes they were committing at the time too.

The dishonesty in todays media is just astounding to me.

Terrell Owens announced that he won't be attending his Hall of Fame induction:

"While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction ceremony in Canton," Owens said in a statement released Thursday. "... After visiting Canton earlier this year, I came to the realization that I wish to celebrate what will be one of the most memorable days of my life, elsewhere."

Seems weird that Owens, who loves publicity and self-promotion, would turn down the chance to appear on national TV for an extended period of time.

[imsounoriginal]

And after complaining for so many years about not getting into the HOF...

[El Rey]

TO gonna TO I guess

It said 439 people. I think his point was African American men make up only 8% of the US population yet 25% of police shootings this year have been black men.
