    None directly against Snyder. He will probably survive this, somehow.

    Maybe no direct accusations, but he'll be hard pressed to say that he didn't know about any of them.

    If the pandemic wasn't going on, he be for sure. But with so much uncertainty in the world, they might decide a forced ownership sale is too risky given everything.

    Even here in DC this story is taking a very backseat to the virus. Caught about 45 minutes of local sports radio this AM. Since Snyder was not directly accused of anything the host was afraid nothing would be done to oust him. Whatever fans are left of the team wanted him gone before this broke. What a mess. I remember 3 years of being granted no homework for a weekend so we could watch super bowls growing up. Now there's a generation of people who only remember disappointment in the franchise.

    After that story, can we rename them the Washington Red Flags?

    Anyone else use NFL players to help remember numbers?
    I had to remember 9184 earlier and used Kevin Greene tackles Randy Moss as my shortcut. Not quite as wacky as Michael Scott method.

    Yep. I am not gonna say how because it would give away numbers I remember, but I do use their numbers to remember stuff.

    Also by the way, my mom and I had a game growing up. This is how it goes...

    Mom: "Travis Kelce minus Tyreek Hill equals...?"
    Me: "87-10= 77 which is Andrew Wylie."


    And so forth. We would play this game before games, especially preseason ones when there are new players or number changes. This is how I constantly memorized player numbers, including the more obscure ones.

    I've used baseball and football numbers to remember phone numbers.

    We played sports name games too.
    First letter/Last letter

    Tom Brady
    Yancy Thigpen
    Nick Bosa
    Alex Smith
    Etc

    No repeating names and eliminated once you couldn’t come up with one. It’s great in large groups.

    I always remember that Boomer E's birthday is on April 17th, but I have no idea how you spell Essiason, my 7th grade year book is signed by a friend and it says "because of you I will always remember Boomer H's birthday is on April 17th." So at least I know the first letter?

    Also Joe Montana is on June 11th.

    I still remember my high school combination due to sports athletes jerseys numbers:

    Matt Suhey-Gale Sayers-Jim McMachon/MJ's Olympic Number = 26-40-9

    I have been out of high school for 24 years yet still remember it.
