Cowboys receiver Cole Beasley windmill dunks a basketball. Incredible, considering the guy's 5'8.

Who do you guys consider "America's Team?" By that, I mean what NFL team do you guys think is the most American, the most patriotic?

No team is more patriotic than the next that's kind of a silly question, unless I'm misunderstanding and there's actually some type of meaning I'm not seeing.

However I think you could apply the "America's Team" tag to mean what team is the most emblematic of the NFL in terms of the foreign audience in which case i'd say it's a toss up between the Cowboys and Steelers.

I think you could just as easily say Green Bay. Small town, small market, yet highly successful with rich history. Plus they're "owned" by the people, and have one of the most recognizable and talented players in the NFL.

Maybe I'm being a bit biased, but if I had to name one team as "America's Team" (which I think is silly) for the sake of discussion it would be Green Bay.

I used to go to a Packer's bar when I lived in DC (Yep, they hung their Packer flags every week and always had a huge green and gold crowd for the games) that was on Pennsylvania Ave.

I've also been to Packers bars in San Diego, Florida, NYC, VA Beach, South Dakota and a few other places. Also, the fans travel extremely well... and they really are the NFL Franchise that shouldn't be. Nothing about the city or way the franchise is run seems ideal at all.

It all depends. If you have talent that isn't easily replaced and if a lesser talent would negatively affect the bottom line, I guarantee you'll have more rope.

EDIT: My larger point: people are calling for a zero tolerance policy for a problem that, by the numbers, doesn't really exist. People are overreacting.

This isnt true in my experience. Especially when they can just fire them and rehire someone for less money. Or maybe my view is just tarnished by Companies I have worked for.

Can't compare the regular working world with multi-million dollar athletic rosters.

He's talking about people with elite skills, not middle management and down.

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012

Its never too early. I play for as long as I want whenever I buy it. If the game is trash I wont be playing it for long. I traded in Madden 13 about 10 days after I bought it.

The season happening or not doesnt really affect me in any way.

You happen to have that address to the DC Spot?

[NateDogPack12]

Yes, please. I'm in DC for the summer and would love to have it.

Same. I play the games for as long as I want.

I don't have the address off the top of my head but the bars name was the Hawk 'n Dove if it's still there. It was on Pennsylvania Ave near the CVS on the corner across the street from the Eastern Market Metro stop. Between 6th & 7th Sts SE.

There was also Duffy's Irish Pub, which the location escapes me ATM. Packer fans get some decent sales (taking DC prices into consideration) there, as opposed to fans of other teams haha. I think it was $4 dollar beers and $4 dollar brats during the games. I think I liked Duffy's better but the other one was closer to me.

[NateDogPack12]

Looked it up.
329 Pennsylvania SE. Will hit it up for sure. Heard it was newly renovated too.

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012

One thing i've noticed during my time here in Tampa is several places to watch Saints games, which I thought was kind of weird but could be a lot of transplants from Katrina.
