When I heard that Albert Haynesworth had failed his physical with the New England Patriots – I wasn’t the least bit surprised. Were you?
Yeah, I couldn’t help myself…

Daniels Wants To Set The Record Straight
Phillip Daniels is upset with Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post’s DCSportsBog.
The very recently released defensive lineman obviously had to face a barrage of questions over the last 24 hours, and he’s not to pleased about the interpretations of his comments, made by Steinberg. Daniels took the opportunity this afternoon, to make his side of the story clear on Twitter. What follows is a series of tweets by Phil (@PhilDayz93), with links to the actual Twitter posts.
A Prodigal Son Returns Home
If you’re looking for a blog about a Washington Redskin fan favorite returning home – then this blog is the wrong place to look! Sort of.
This blog is just an FYI and a teaser that a long, long time friend of THN is making his way back to the Redskins blogosphere. In fact, he’s been gone long enough for us to say, that he and I were blogging about the Redskins before there were blogs.
Some Player Cuts, Cut Deeper Than Others
Today the Redskins released veteran defensive lineman Phillip Daniels.
That sucks.
I don’t want to have an intellectual conversation about how the team is doing this, or the team is doing that – I will say only that I am very happy with the moves that the organization has made in the last few days.
Most of them.
Santana Is Back!
The first day of ‘free agency’ has been relatively quiet for the Redskins, but they made their first splash this afternoon re-signing Santana Moss. The 3-year deal is reportedly worth$15 Million, with a $5 Million bonus, and $6 Million in guaranteed money.

For Redskins fans that are interested in going to training camp, the schedule was released today. There are eleven practices that are open to the public, and all of them are at 8:30am. Here is the schedule:
UDFA Feeding Frenzy Begins
With the NFL lockout ending yesterday, football fans everywhere celebrated and flocked to Message Boards, Blogs, Facebook and Twitter to express their feelings on the situation. Information and misinformation was flying fast and furious. You had to have your head on a swivel, and you had to be very careful about determining what was truly news, as opposed to just hype or conjecture.
NFL teams were granted permission to start football operations, and despite the fact that they can’t sign anyone until Friday, teams are allowed to make hand shake deals with this year’s crop of Undrafted Free Agents. Rumors swirled all night on the world wide web, and it appears as though at least three college players agreed in principle to Redskin contracts. Keep in mind that none of the transactions can be completed until the end of the week, so players can change their minds.
Cofield To Skins
On the opening evening of 2011 free agency, the Redskins addressed arguably their biggest roster hole, signing defensive tackle Barry Cofield away from the division rival New York Giants. The 27-year-old Cofield is coming off of his most productive season, where he registered a career-high 54 tackles and four sacks for New York. The Giants … Read more
THN Toon – Matt Terl
If you hadn’t heard, Matt Terl from the Official Redskins Blog has been relieved of his duties.
I don’t profess to have any knowledge of what went on. I know that I liked the blog, and so did a lot of other die hard Redskins fans. You’d think that’s what the orgnization would be hoping for when they started with it three years ago. All of that aside, it has nothing to do with what irks me most about the move.
Business is About To Pick Up
It appears that the NFL Lockout is over. At almost 4:00am this morning, Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer tweeted that ownership and the NFLPA had finally come to an agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. While almost 2000 NFL players still have to vote on the pact, which they will do shortly after coming together … Read more
