Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Skins/Cowboys

You obviously haven't been paying attention. Cowboys win this one going away. Sorry Bob.

A divisional game with a sub par opponent are the games that scare me the worst. Preverted or not I hope the Boys beat the Skins. mtmuley

Seventeen posts and everybody says "skins" or "skinz". Getting PC on us?

I have to resort to last measures.

Cowboys are a ten star lock and I'd bet my farm on it.

The REDSKINS are going to lose!

well geez Pat we're not supposed to say jigaboos, well unless your handle is Bristoe.

we're kind of a PC bunch around here, get on board lawdawg (grin)

Always refer to them that way, only PC is the 'puter (sorry, COMputer) it was written with.

I predict the one time LPE gets it correct this year!

No. Everybody has said Skins all along....for years.

I find "Packers" much more offensive than "Redskins". How long before the gay community takes a stand?

PC or not----GO



REDSKINS!!!!!!

And oh yeah----Romo and team with a minimum of 3 int's/TO's!! Maybe as many as 6.

I've seen this move many many times!!

Yeah, so the cowgirls are on a roll thanks largely to a better-than-expected O line. These are the types of games where the favored team may be looking ahead and not totally focused -- not to the point of losing the game, but perhaps to the point of sustaining some key injuries. Call me a doubter, but I do not believe the cowgirls will still be performing at their recent level by the time the playoffs get underway. In fact, call that a prediction. ;-)

Goddammit David...it's getting harder to fork out 10K a year.

Hey nobody said Bambi would work for free!

Dear Deeply Offended Redskins Haters: Actual Navajo Nation High School Mascot IS REDSKINS
9:21 AM 10/27/2014

FOLLOW ON TWITTER
A comprehensive review from 2013 shows that the United States is home to 62 high schools that have the Redskins as their athletic mascot. The majority of the students at three of those schools � or about five percent of them � are Native American.

The Washington Post sent an intrepid reporter briefly beyond the Beltway to find out what could possibly motivate students, parents, coaches and school officials at one of the schools: Red Mesa High School in the rural, isolated corner of northeastern Arizona.

Turns out it�s simple: They like their mascot just fine.

�I don�t find it derogatory,� school district superintendent Tommie Yazzie told the Post. �It�s a source of pride.�

Red Mesa student council president Mckenzie Lameman agreed.

�It�s not a racist slur if it originates from a Native American tribe,� the junior told the paper. �It�s always used in the context of sports.�

At a recent Red Mesa Redskins football, game, the Post reporter found dedicated parents stamping the bleachers and signs in the raucous, festive crowd reading �Redskin Nation� and �Fear the Spear.�

�There�s more important things to worry about than �Redskins,�� senior football player Arlo Begay told the Post.

Almost 90 percent of the students and over 70 percent of the teachers at Red Mesa favor keeping the Redskins mascot, according to a survey completed this month.

A 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center poll concurs with this sentiment. That survey found that the Redskins name does not offend 90 percent of all actual Native Americans in the United States.

The feelings of the actual Navajo Nation members or actual Native Americans in general has done nothing to stop a very small but very dedicated group of deeply offended activists from lobbying the Washington Redskins football team to change its mascot or trying to force a name change through federal coercion.

�This protest feels like it�s coming from one person,� Red Mesa athletic director Al Begay told the Post.

In about two hours, Bart is going to text me and say something like, "how are things, punkin'?"

Outstanding job by Freddie Jones performing the Anthem!!!! Right to the end!!

I could even hear folks singing. Way to go TX!!!

That was a great National Anthem Performance! Must have been some dust in my eye.

Here we go! Anything can happen while Romo is on the field. Let's just hope good Romo shows up & not Bad Romo!

Do hope Colt McCoy has a good game, and a loss, though!

Did Bob just "lock pick" the Cowboys? Have we not seen this end result before (McCain, Romney, etc.)?

Now this makes me nervous. I retract my bet.
