Was just reading that Soldier Field lost its status as a National Historic Landmark after a major renovation in 2002.

Yeah, I took it that way too.

For the record, anytime I say "fuck all you fuckers" on this message board, I'm kidding.

They should've stayed with the traditional look and feel instead of going all plexiglass and steel. They actually LOST seating capacity in that upgrade. Really bad all around

sounds like RG3 tried out for Fox and ESPN and they both want to make him an offer. Good for him

Crazy that both him and Andrew Luck were considered possibly generational talent and they both had such meteoric rises and falls. Neither the Colts or the Skins got the 10 year franchise QB they hoped for. Imagine where both franchises would be if both those guys had stayed healthy...

That 2012 QB draft - 10 years later where are we?

#1 - Luck - finished
#2 - RGIII - finished
#8 - Tannehill - disappointment in Miami, career resurgence in Tenn
#22 - Weeden - my god Cleveland, what the actual fuck?!
#57 - Osweiler - finished, however, crucial for that Broncos SB run, so hard to say was a total failure. Plus got PAID by dumbass Houston
#75 - Russel Wilson - top tier with a SB ring...also, my god Cleveland, what the actual fuck??!!
#88 - Foles - turned out pretty well for Philly I'd say, plus still kicking around the league lying in wait
#102 - Cousins - seen as quite puzzling back then, turned out to be both a blessing and a curse by Shanny. RGIII didn't hold up physically, but after turning to Cousins, Redskins front office engaged in the most inept franchise QB management experiment in NFL history

Looks like a former Raven has found his true calling

Yeah, but Luck did last a lot longer than Griffin. Even in his final season he captained a 10-6 team with 39 TD, 7.2 YPA, a 98.7 QBR and a Pro Powl selection. He probably could've played longer but got out before his brain turned to jello.

That was a good QB draft in hindsight. 4 long term starters (Well, Luck would have been if the Colts FO didn't get him killed) and it could well have been 5 if RG3 didn't get injured. Luck and Wilson have both been at least top 10 QBs throughout their career. Even when Tannehill was disappointing he was never terrible and Foles mostly straddled that good back up/ bad starter line most of his career until he did a Flacco in the post season.

That's why it's so good to see that the Browns still messed it up.
