So Let It Be Written…

… So Let It Be Done.

Last night the Washington Redskins put out a second mortgage on their house, and with the proceeds, they are going to go out and buy a shiny new toy on April 26th at the NFL Draft. It is reported that Washington have traded their next THREE first round picks and a second round pick, to the St. Louis Rams for the number two overall pick. Did they pay too much?

When Pigs Fly?

by

We at theHogs.net never miss an opportunity to make a bad pun on a good pig cliche, so I can’t help but think on the day that the city of Indianapolis let one of the greatest football players EVER escape, that I should look outside for flying pigs.

Subsequently I could also skate my way to a hell that must have frozen over if the mighty Peyton Manning had actually been relieved of his Colts’ duties.

And yet I watched it happen.

Gregg Williams Bounty Scandal

by

So if you’re anywhere near a sports source today, you already know about the Gregg Williams scandal aka ‘BountyGate.’ Former Washington Redskins defensive co-ordinator Williams, who is now under the employ of the St. Louis Rams, has been enticing his defenses with bounties.

I don’t know if a football coach putting a bounty on a player’s head is as big a news story as it has become, but getting caught for it by the NoFunLeague, certainly will make this a story that is increasingly interesting to watch.

Fred Davis Parody Headlines

by

As of today, NFL teams can use their franchise tags, so Redskins Nation looks on in anticipation to see if the Washington Redskins use their tag, and if so, who will they use it on?

While Laron Landry and London Fletcher are both potential franchise tag candidates, it’s probable that the Redskins will use their tag on tight end Fred Davis. After a monster breakout season, that came crashing to a halt when he tested positive for (expected) marijuana use – the franchise tag is an excellent option for Washington as it allows them to sign Davis to a short term deal.

Which in turn allows them a shorter leash.

Knowing that Davis will likely be franchise tagged, I couldn’t help but take to Twitter and have some fun with potential Fred Davis parody headlines; so I started the hashtag #topFredDavisHeadlines for shiggles. It seems like this is also a great opportnity to see how the new Twitter embed feature works within WordPress. So here are some of my tweets this morning:

Alexander The Good

by

When Lorenzo Alexander isn’t out on a football field setting the standard for how you play special teams in the NFL, he’s in the community setting the standard for how football players can use their fame to make the world a better place. That’s why he was the Redskins’ 2011 Walter Payton Man of the … Read more
