Well.... all the other things we've allowed them to deem offensive, yeah that probably well goes along with that. I mean... the Cleveland Guardians?

That doesn't seem like much of a reason to switch it up, imo.

Yes it is. He asked, "why can't it be switched up every other year" and I replied with "why does it need to be" I don't understand why it would ever need switched. That's ridiculous. It makes no sense, there's no need, to just randomly switch up the schedule. What purpose would that serve?

That's next to absurd. I just don't have to feel bad for something so insanely miniscule.

I would hate that as a coach. My question would be... why would does it need to be?

What are you wowing about? It's literally a saying lol... words. "Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians"... if you or anyone else finds offense in that, I can't help you, you're beyond saving.

I mean, put some boots and on and sack up, then. lol life isn't about "your" feelings.

There is never a circumstance where that saying is offensive.

People were offended when Louis Riddick said that. 😅

haha just can't even make this s*** up. Oh, the ways our society goes out of its way to be offended. Hilarious.

Ahhh I'm glad you brought up PETA, excellent point... and in some cases, they put "fighting" in front of the mascot's name. So not only do they mock/make fun of animals, they want them to be dangerous! The horrors!

Unbelievable they thought that needed changed lol

Redskins I'll give you. Perfectly fine with that getting removed, that was the only derogatory one. Braves/Indians mascots should never be removed... there is nothing derogatory there. If so.... absolutely Irish, Quakers, etc need to be removed as they are just as offensive, as Braves/Indians are. Pendleton Heights? yeah you're giving your mascot name back too. Yankess+Texans, nope you gotta give yours up, as well. Cowboys.. you too. THE BOSTON CELTICS!! Can't have that. But we do live in a society that found Aunt Jemima+Uncle Ben offensive lol ... Land O Lakes butter--- HELL NO!!! Crazy, soft times we live in. Same! And the Nebraska Cornhuskers!! don't get me started there. The Floyd Central Highlanders, Minnesota Vikings are a few that sticks in my crawl.

Now.. the Ravens were handcuffed, somewhat, because it would be a complete rebuild if they had moved on.... but... I'm not giving Lamar that contract for anything. He isn't WORTH that.

I see no market here whatsoever. We are talking about talents, QBs, and real people, not inanimate objects. My house can't blow an ACL. My house doesn't insist you change everything about your franchise to make my talents work (even those talents will be up in about 3-4 years when father time catches up) They massively overpaid for a guy that can't stay healthy. I find it hilarious, personally.

I don't need to answer the question, we have Google. I said EMPLOYERS, and I mentioned two NFL teams, and no I don't buy his housing example whatsoever.

I mean, employers make horrendous mistakes all of the time lol... so yeah, you're wrong. This isn't a market, this is one employer-- the Browns being absurdly stupid and then another team, the Ravens, doubling down on that.

Lamar isn't worth half that.

Crazy

It's really too bad East Central is so far from BNL. Seymour, EC, BNL, CE, JC, Madison, etc. Idk just thinking outside the box.

As a coach, I hope we don't go back to the way we did it before. I hated that. The bold is absolutely correct, but football isn't the issue.

I enjoy talking ball. Thank you.

I don't think Coach May will mind... Brownstown will bring back 7 starters on offense and 8 on offense, but basically all of our "rotators" return, as well. We bring back 75-80% of the guys we played last year, essentially. Offensively we lose Carson Darlage (6'5 215lbs QB), who the last two seasons combined--340 carries 2200 yards 34 TDs on the ground. The plan is for him to be replaced by Micah Sheffer, who will be a SO. OL-- there will be some reshuffling in spots with the added depth from the JV guys moving up. Last season we replace 10 starters offensively, so there was a lot of newness with this group up front last year. We hope the experience and year in the weight room pay dividends. We expect to be better here and have more depth. Off-skill-- everyone is back. Engle, Hutcheson, Zike, Tiemeyer, Garrison, Killey, and Fritz will all share the rock. Another group that was new last year and took some lumps, and we hope to see some strides because of it this season. DL--- should be the strength of our team. Burcham-Jones+Branaman will be 3yr starters who have been excellent so far in their careers. Hutchinson started every game as a FR last season (6'5 280) and played well. We will add a player or two to these already-established 3 and I think we have a very solid top 7-8 guys here. LBers--- we replace MLB with Owen Wischmeier, whose brother Eli, was a North/South All Star. Both OLBers are back--- Hutcheson+Killey who both had big games against Triton Central in the sectional. DBs-- everyone is back and another position group we hope to have more depth at this season with some JV guys moving up/getting some guys back healthy. Our kicker, Bryce Peak is back and will be a SR. Last season is the youngest team I have coached while an asst at Brownstown. (2013) and I'm pretty sure it's the youngest team Coach May has had here. Last season we played 5 different FR on one side of the ball (at times), along with playing 5 SOs, regularly.... couple that with a whole JR class (besides 2) that did not see the varsity field as SOs 2 years ago... it was interesting at times lol I would say this group has the potential to be good, but doing it and saying it are two different things. As always, super excited to get to work with the dudes later this month and we hope to hit the ground running with the experience we bring back.

So.. Salem's two Non conf are WW and SV?

Great post. Growth is good. Soccer sucks, but growth is good. I'd love an MLB team, but maybe MLS is a more realistic option?
