So I heard about this last night on the radio. The GM’s wife tweets some asinine stuff, the team then says it was fake account. But wait, no, it was hers and the team issues an apology on her behalf. I love the timeline on [this site](http://thebiglead.com/2015/09/02/jessica-mccloughan-diana-russini-scot-mccloughan/):

[UPDATE: 7:45 PM. The Redskins tell Pro Football Talk that the account that tweeted at Russini was “fake.” As a reminder, the Redskins claimed their website had 7.8 billion unique visitors last training camp.]

[UPDATE II: 8:15 PM: Scott McCloughan says it was not fake and apologizes for his wife sending the tweet. His wife has also apologized.]

I bet that was interesting half hour.

Is it just me, or does (Mr.) McClouhan look like a regional manager for Waffle House?

Tebow is cut. I’m ready for the endless RGIII to the Eagles rumors.

Nope. It’s gonna be Christian Ponder, Minnesota Vikings fame.(They’re speaking with him this weekend)

I am SO glad we got rid of this idiot. I’m in Philly right now (live on west coast) and you had to hear the thanking god all over sports radio. So many internet posts saying, “Don’t really like football, but I’m a fan of Tebow” bullshit.

People were calling in with bible quotes PROVING Tebow was sowing the seeds Jesus showed him to sow. He was blessed after his “phenomenal” 4th preseason game. I heard how Chip is SO brilliant, KNOWING that Sam will be hurt, Sanchez ineffective, and he’ll have Timmy run in that winning Super Bowl TD, all with a blessing from their favorite fantasy sky-character. This was how one sportscaster on WIP was describing this winter’s future.

Now maybe the city can wise up and cut the other god-loving visitor they have planned to visit. 😃

I was hoping Philly fans would have left Tebow dismantled by the side of the road, like that Canadian robot.

Weird story coming out of Cleveland, they’re suspend their O Line coach indefinitely but no reason given? Alcohol related, perhaps.

Your linked article says a woman is accusing Moeller of assault. He has a history of alcohol problems, too.  
I’m sure the Browns will suck with or without their OL coach.

Looks like they updated the article to include the alleged assault. I wonder if she was a prostitute?

That seems like a perfectly rational assumption.

This is your final note. If you bring up alleged _anythings_ and put the blame on the female by implying she’s lying or a prostitute and it’s in a Game Room topic (any sport), you _will_ be warned.

This is known as obsessively posting about one topic on a regular basis and it’s against the rules.

It’s quite annoying that Jay Gruden continues to play coy about who the #2 quarterback is for Washington. I can’t even imagine RGIII will even be active for the game against the Dolphins as most teams don’t have 3 active QBs.

It’ll be great to see RGIII have no use for his big mouth except to stuff a gigantic Subway sandwich.

Terrelle Pryor just cut by the Browns. What a mess that was. He’s a receiver, he’s an emergency and trick play QB. Well, now he’s unemployed. Not sure any other team is going to pick him up.

Don’t get that one. People were upset they cut training camp standout Lenz to keep Pryor on the roster, and now they’re dumping him a few days later.

I wonder if this has to do with Farmer being suspended and some sort of underling running the front office.

A GM mutiny. Only the Browns.

Did I miss the “predictions for my team” thread or was there not one this year?
