Washington is so dysfunctional they are getting the head coach of another franchise fired.
Nah. Problem showed up and was promptly kicked to the curb.
it's officially the raiders
DEA has all the evidence, don't they? I think that chain of custody is a lot different than spygate.Will we ever actually see the documentation implicating the WFT, or will the league destroy it like they did the Spygate evidence?
The trainer stuff, yes. Would they have the "toxic corporate culture" stuff?DEA has all the evidence, don't they? I think that chain of custody is a lot different than spygate.
Isn't that how it came out originally? The DEA confiscated computers, servers etc.The trainer stuff, yes. Would they have the "toxic corporate culture" stuff?
I think they are separate investigations. The Gruden stuff came up during an NFL workplace culture investigation regarding allegations made by the cheerleaders.Isn't that how it came out originally? The DEA confiscated computers, servers etc.
And this week in the Battle of the Heavyweights for the right to fight Snyder for the World Title, we have a steel cage match with Houston vs Miami where the winner will walk out with DeShaun Watson in their hands. These two will be meeting on the Gridiron as well in the next couple weeks.Controversies of the week come and go, but Daniel Snyder takes the cake here as long as he owns WFT. Until that changes, the answer to the question of most dysfunctional franchise starts at #2.
The headlines typically ensnare players, coaches, and sometimes the GM. However, true long-term disfunction in the relatively small world of NFL franchises always goes back to the owners.And this week in the Battle of the Heavyweights for the right to fight Snyder for the World Title, we have a steel cage match with Houston vs Miami where the winner will walk out with DeShaun Watson in their hands.

A one week cure is in store in a few days.The Eagles are pretty dysfunctional right now. No need to provide a list, plenty of reasons.
If (and it's a big if,) they win it's not a cure, it's an illusion.A one week cure is in store in a few days.
This is a phenomenal Twitter thread cataloging Snyder’s countless transgressions. I think a lot of people don’t realize the scumbag practices he used to make his money in the first place. This also serves as a sort of mic drop in the discussion of the NFL’s worst owner.Dan Snyder's history since 1990. He's the worst person in the NFL.

That's just crazy. It's insane what we let people with power and money get away with in this country and world.

Bally Sports' Mike Silver reports that Texans owner Cal McNair used an anti-Asian slur at a team event last May.
McNair used an anti-Asian slur to refer to coronavirus at a team event last May, which reportedly upset employees and caused gasps among those in attendance. In a statement that came out on Tuesday – five months after the incident – McNair expressed regret for his choice of words and apologized. It's unclear what the league may do, especially in light of the recent events surrounding former Raiders coach Jon Gruden.

Speaking Tuesday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the league is keeping the Washington Football Team report private due to a "promise of anonymity" for those who came forward.
If true, it's logical reasoning from Goodell, although it's fair to question both whether the commissioner is simply protecting the league from public outcry as well as why it took so long for this investigation to truly heat up. The accusations in the report are heinous, so one would hope that there are some repercussions for the perpetrators. Goodell went on to say that the league will comply with the congressional inquiry about the Washington Football Team.

Speaking Tuesday, NFL commissioner said that he thinks Washington owner Dan Snyder has been held accountable in regards to the ongoing investigation.
It's an interesting take from the commissioner considering the atrocity of the accusations toward the franchise and Snyder's ongoing involvement with the team. Goodell also said the league will comply with the congressional inquiry about the Washington Football Team.

The Dolphins are a bedpan mess. They have no idea what they’re doing. Let’s just put those two sentences on a repeating soundtrack to cover the past two decades until some future year when this franchise makes sense again.
Here’s what general manager Chris Grier and Flores are saying: The problem isn’t us. It’s the players we acquired. It’s not us. It’s the quarterback we spent three sacrificed seasons to draft.
It’s not us.
It’s our decisions.
Is anyone sure this decision is any better? Isn’t this the Dolphins corollary of the definition of insanity? They keep repeating how the definition of insanity is repeating the same things over and over and expecting different results?
Grier didn’t see Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson being great quarterbacks. They are. He traded for Josh Rosen. He lasted three Dolphins games. He passed on Justin Herbert, who was a star from his first start, for Tagovailoa.
So now he wants a quarterback wrapped in an uncertain cloak of sexual-assault accusations? What could go wrong?
In their lawsuits, the 22 women accuse Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will during massage appointments. Watson and his lawyers have denied the accusations. His lawyers have said “some sexual activity” happened during some of the appointments but that he never coerced anyone.
The real football issue is the Dolphins can’t recognize a quarterback until he’s a Pro Bowl quarterback. Watson is that guy. He’s great. If you’re just talking football, he’d be worth the three No. 1 picks and whatever else is thrown into a trade.
But you can’t just talk football with Watson. It’s not just his legal quagmire. Are the Dolphins ready for the protests outside games? For the public-relations backlash? For the incoming face of their franchise to be made Exhibit A.
The NFL agreed to "look into" coach Joe Judge's accusations of faulty headsets.
Judge, upset after dropping another one-score game due to poor coaching, was quick to blame the league's Bose headsets for miscommunication rather than pointing the finger at himself for kicking a field goal on 4th-and-2 from the five-yard line in Monday night's 20-17 loss in Arrowhead. The 2-6 Giants will need to look at more than headsets in the mirror if they fall to the Raiders ahead of their Week 10 bye.

True, I'm pretty sure Saleh isn't in love with Suzy Colber's feet.
The polling data clearly shows which NFL franchises are currently viewed by the Shark Pool as teams operating with the highest levels of dysfunctional behaviours. This thread is also intended to track ongoing examples and discussion of dysfunction, and while the Seahawks are not currently a top 4 team in this category, they are certainly showing signs of cracking the top 10. If the Seahawks let Russell Wilson depart to another team and if Pete Carroll retires and the wrong coaching staff is hired for the next chapter - it is very feasible for the Seahawks to potentially contend as a top 10 dysfunctional team moving forward for future versions of this poll.I thought this was already decided by the vote Texans > Jets > Lions > Jags at being dysfunctional. @Faust posted an article about the Seahawks and they have no business being on this list based on recent performances. They have not stunk long enough to even be included in the conversation.
My tone was meant to be sarcastic. The Seahawks have a long way to go to make this list. They would have to have about 5 - 10 straight years of futility to even get consideration.Faust said:The polling data clearly shows which NFL franchises are currently viewed by the Shark Pool as teams operating with the highest levels of dysfunctional behaviours.
