The 2011 NFL season begins in 10 days, and commissioner Roger Goodell has implemented a means by which the league’s personalities -- players, coaches, and the commish himself -- can communicate with one another. The chat room, appropriately titled “Football Guys,” is meant only to be accessed by NFL types, but we have managed to gain special access. What follows is an invaluable peek into the top-secret underbelly of the NFL.
Football Guys: A Peek Into The Online Chat Room Of The NFL
“The Dugout” is a long-running series of mock chat rooms in which baseball players say mean things to each other. Today, we present the birth of an NFL-themed spinoff, the appropriately-named “Football Guys.”
Just kidding. It is a fake chat room!
| **Online Host** Welcome to NFL Chat! | |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: ok guys, set you up with a chat room, thought it might could be nice if you guys had a chat room where you can talk w/ y'all and whatnot |
| Shonngreene-La: "whatnot" who the f says "whatnot," how much of a g-d ole ass man you gotta be to say "whatnot" |
| BNE;: 400 HUNDRET YEARE OLT |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: what's wrong with sayin "whatnot" |
 | User183835: Its just something someones grandma would say. Its like starting a sentence with "what say we" |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: Michael, you are encouraged to set up your own account with your own screen name |
| User183835: Eh |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: set-up should only take five to ten minutes |
| User183835: Listen man im sure that your online form thing is worlds of fun but half the time i dont even flush the toilet anymore |
| User183835: Alright lunchtime |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: it's 9:30 in the morning |

| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: welp feel like this'll be a good place for us all to get together & talk about what's what, chat about this & that, maybe say some hey 'bout the last big game that happened, have football players talk to one another & be pals |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: talk about the football games & football |
 | DrainageBasin: yeah, but why a chat room? People don't really use chat rooms anymore. Setting up a proprietary forum just for us is... weird. |
 | Shonngreene-La: yeah are you doing this just cause baseball does it? |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: The Dugout was the inspiration for this chat room, yes |
| DrainageBasin: well, way to come up with the one chat room name that could possibly be any more f***ing generic than "The Dugout" |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: OK well we can call it something other than "Football Guys" if y'all would prefer we call it something else, call it by another name & so forth |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: this was the list of other ideas Things That Occur In Football Football Untitled.txt Roger Goodell N.F.L. N.F.L.! Casual Racism, Excused Googlecom |

| SomewhereOverDwayneBowe: does anyone like him |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: yeah, he is cheered on by other people who are also giant creeps |
| SomewhereOverDwayneBowe: ick |
| BNE;: GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| DudeYoureGettingGoodell: so anyways guys, i hope you guys can talk & have fun conversations in here, have discussions bout this + that, talk about football games that happened or are currently goin on or are bout to happen, talk bout what you think might happen in football, be a football player & discuss football w/like jobbed individuals |
