I think Coach Chief has a lot of folks dining on some crow.

While I'll admit the coaching staff has done a great job, I think it ultimately comes down to the players. Things are looking up for sure

I hope the Eagles can repeat with another season sweep of the Washington Murdering Savage Injuns.

At least when the Redskins play on MNF and Jon Gruden says he 'loves' their coach, he will really mean it this time

Those stats while being very impressive dont illustrate how "limp" hes looked for a bulk of the season. I domt criticize the guy to be a Richard but he had me and a lot of people worried with his passive play. And its likely that the selection committe noticed this too. Stats are nice but they dont always win games. Teams amd team dynamics win games/ championships.

He had a bad 15 games coming off a hand injury. If 15 games erases 4 seasons of being a PPG player, then IMO, you're not being fair or logics about the situation.

Giroux's subpar play has been the outlier, rather than the norm & to shred a guy who has the body of work he's had for 15 bad games...it just makes zero sense

So, the Indians are changing their primary "racist" logo.

Silly people and their insistence on dignity and ownership of their own image... taking our beloved (and tragically important) sports logos and club monikers away from us... what's next... our guns and our freedom?? World is going to hell in a hand basket... the rapture can't come soon enough!

But I stand by my original posts from earlier this week--the less the Flyers send to the olympics, the better.

Rest up. The race is long.

That'll teach people. Next time you start a genocide, see it all the way through or your entertainment industry might suffer.

So depicting a face is racist and robs people of their dignity? Guess the Celtics will be next to change their logo for their portrayal of Irish people.

Yeah, because Boston doesn't have any Irish people in or associated with it.

Die-hard fans of canned New York River Oysters are still lamenting the tragic loss of this one:

I don't know the whole cultural make-up in the States but in Canada the using the name "red-skin" would get your ass kicked by most aboriginal/first nation people.

I don't know if its as offensive south of the border.

Lol - I'm from Pottstown and went to PSU. Parents are still there. I know cold, but I do feel for you guys back there. What I'd give for a real snowfall.

We actually have an ice rink here but it's the worst sheet of ice I've ever been on. A couple years ago I was there and the guy was running the Zam without any water. I told him when he got out and he said it makes the ice too slippery. Kid you not.

If you do need to warm up, I share this with you: http://instagram.com/p/i5T8rCHvvB/

I'm sorry, but I find that image to be hilarious and, if I were an oyster fan, would buy that brand daily based solely on the face.

I was more referring to the outcry when Berube was named coach, because of the type of player Berube was.

Time will tell if he's really a good coach, but the results are tough to argue with at this stage of the game.

The original was MUCH MUCH worse.

Let's just say that I'm glad our children are spared the sight of those at the local Whole Foods.

Those cans of oysters are in Bill Cosby's vault with all the Little Rascals tapes.

But surely you can see how if you were black you might find that image less than flattering, right?

Only when coupled with a racist term, yes. I don't consider "Indians" to be a racist term.

I'm really Glad Mez has gotten some regular ice time to round into form. Worrying about making mistakes and getting pulled for a month makes it hard to relax and play. I think the change in Systems & Forwards responsibilities has made all of our D look better.
