Lumsden has managed to draw a fair bit of attention for a newcomer both from the fans and from the coaching staff. Here is the first part of hopefully a two-part interview; we will try to catch up … Read more

Water Gate

Yes I know… watergate was one word. But this is a different kind of watergate, it actually refers to water. Today the Washington Redskins took to Fed Ex Field to play the Baltimore Ravens in a scrimmage. The day was marketed as a scrimmage / fan appreciation day.

Water Gate

 

Yes I know… watergate was one word. But this is a different kind of watergate, it actually refers to water.

Today the Washington Redskins took to Fed Ex Field to play the Baltimore Ravens in a scrimmage. The day was marketed as a scrimmage / fan appreciation day. The only problem is… I didn’t see much real appreciation for Redskin fans at all.

The NFL off-season is less than a week from being officially over for Redskins fans. That’s right, we’ve finally reached the point in the year where the days may get longer, but the wait is made easier. No more plowing through rhetoric and sensationalism in the media, in the hopes of finding just one iota … Read more

Redskins Radio

I’ve tried to contain my impatience as I peruse over the ever-growing message board posts and media articles taking an opportunity to take their shots at the new Redskins Radio. Really… I’ve tried. I’ve actually bitten off so much of my tongue that all I can really say on the matter anymore is… ‘Lah, blah-bla…. … Read more

Officially Frustrated

NFL officiating is one of the few subjects likely to prove more unifying than divisive among today’s fans. Among the many NFL fans I know, the attitudes toward the officials range from mild disgust to outright contempt. We need only to think back to Super Bowl XL to see why that might be. That game … Read more
