I too hope McVay wasn’t involved. But, he is incredibly close to The Grudens. Hopefully Sean was all business when he was there. I’m sure we will find out soon enough. Sean doesn’t seem like a drug dude, nor does he seem to have any issues with “dating” and yes I am being PG and PC here. But, we don’t know what we don’t know.

You gotta feel for Rivera walking into this apparent shit show though by all accounts he's a good man for a culture clean up job...

I wonder just how unique this is to the Redskins? Is the rest of the league upset because of how it will make the league look or because the Redskins will be just the first domino to fall among a string of teams that conducted themselves similarly?

If the NFL is going to look at stuff like this, look for owners that like to have a good time or are absentee. Don't tell me the Cowboys and Patriots don't have something in their closet.

If you want a refresher, go back through the stories about the Dallas Mavericks.

I would not be surprised at all if other teams had acted similarly. The '90's Cowboys as an obvious example. The Vikings from a few years ago. Who knows how many more that never made it as public.

I have a buddy who loves going to strip clubs and whenever he goes to this particular one during baseball season, he says that you better get there before the baseball game is over because once ALL the ballplayers get there, normal joes are SOL. The point being, ballplayers with loads of money are out there spending it on things other than eggs and bacon. Not all ballplayers but enough of them that it would likely ruin a league or two if their activities were all brought to light.

The brewing scandal in Washington, near as we know anything about it, is not about the players.

It's about the front office people and even the (previous) coach.

And it has to do with covering up sexual harassment (among other things), not 20 somethings going to strip clubs.

I think you're missing the point. And the scandal in Washington does involve protecting players who have been bad boys according to the link(s) being posted. Not just them but it does involve players.

The players at strip clubs was just an example of the activity that goes on that doesn't usually see the light of day. There is probably a LOT more that goes on behind closed doors and I'd say most NFL teams don't want that stuff getting out.

If the story is players are living large, partying, going to strip clubs, not doing anything illegal, that's not a story...
