The pageantry from the NFL this week has been incredible. From Deflate-Gate to reporters clad in barrels, the hype machine during the Super Bowl lead-up has been absolutely feverish. Actually, pretty much nauseating to most of their genuine fans I would imagine, certainly to me. What do you think? Has the NFL spent so much … Read more
The Redskins ended their search for a defensive coordinator Tuesday, and hired Joe Barry. Barry was the linebackers coach for the San Diego Chargers, and was considered an early favorite for the job, until a flirtation with Vic Fangio this past weekend. Fangio signed with the Bears this morning. Barry inherits a defense that was … Read more
Vic Fangio is taking the job with the Bears, and not the Redskins. Ironically, Jason LaCanfora tweeted the news: Vic Fangio has decided to join John Fox's staff in Chicago. Skins were very interested. Fangio made his decision today — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 20, 2015 I say ironic, because JLC was also the … Read more
According to a tweet from Jason LaCanfora yesterday, the Redskins are close to adding Vic Fangio and Ed Donatell to their 2015 coaching staff. I'd expect Vig Fangio and Ed Donatell to agree to join the Skins coaching staff by Tues AM. Would be very surprised if they did not — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) … Read more
By now I am sure you have heard about the “deflate-gate” scandal that is buzzing through the news wires this morning. The New England Patriots are being investigated for using deflated footballs in the rain, in their dismantling of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
The only balls that got deflated were Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts’.
It was FORTY-FIVE-TO-SEVEN. Hello?
But surely enough, out come the Monday Morning soapbox stances from anyone with an opinion.
Ahem… here’s mine. 😉
Being an NFL fan, a Redskins fan, AND a proud daddy, I couldn’t help but take interest this week in a blog about someone who had re-designed the entire battery of NFL team logos in a Disney theme – especially given the constant news vitriol, and the controversy surrounding the Redskins, the use of their name, and of course of their logo.
The blog highlights a guy by the name of Mark Avery Kenny, who quite creatively just posted an entire series of NFL logos on his Instagram account.
Some losses hurt more than others. There isn’t really a formula for what makes these games different than the rest, just an even more empty feeling when they do happen. Such was the case for the Redskins 27-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. It hurt. A lot.
Was it because the loss was at home, and our home fan base had to endure that debacle?
Maybe partly, but Redskins fans have grown accustomed to Fed Ex Field not seeing a lot of victories. I always find it tough to watch my peers boo the product on the field though, but I understand their chagrin.
Here are some game day notes for today’s game between Washington and Minnesota:
RGIII returns.
John Keim and Britt McHenry break down what it means to the Redskins. Incidentally, this is the third time that Griffin is returning from an injury layoff, and he is 0-2 in the other two returns.
I can say with certainty that in the twelve years I have been running this site, the question I have been asked the most is, “how did you become a Redskin fan, living up in Canada?” I always answer unequivocally and without hesitation, “Well I hated the Cowboys. Then I loved the Redskins.” That’s the … Read more
