You talkin’ to ME?

Oh, young Mister Henson… when you said “All you fake half hearted Skins fan can .. I won’t go there but I dislike you very strongly, don’t come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!!” Did you really need to add “The question is who are you to say you know what’s best for the team and you work 9 to 5 at Mcdonalds”?
Ummm… Mister Henson… you are aware, are you not, that you are but a missed tackle, or two, away from joining the 9-5 crowd at Mickey D’s, are you not? Careful whom you step on while on the way up… they may be the same folks you encounter on your way back down.

A Little Unexpected Competition Never Hurts.

As if things weren’t bad enough, there are now competitors in the NFC East for the counseling services that our Redskins have been offering to the downtrodden of the league. Fortunately, most can’t meet the level of services offered by the Redskins.

Lenny Does It Again

December 29, 2016December 19, 2009 by Mike Keys

Len Pastarelli is in love with Jason Campbell… and actually accuses us of not appreciating him…

Clearly, he doesn’t understand.

Old Lenny is enamoured with Jason’s statistics… which, on their face, are impressive. However, only an amature, who looks only at the statistics, would fall for that. Hey, Lenny… have you actually watched him play?

A Redskins Fan's Lament

I’m sorry, Mr. Cassell. Did I violate your personal space?

It made no difference, ultimately, in the outcome of the game, but that alleged “roughing the passer” call on Haynesworth is just further evidence that the effort by the NFL to protect a single group of players is completely out of control. The NFL has made the determination that an all out effort to keep Quarterbacks from being touched has greater value than protecting the integrity of the game.

Hey, Dan… Wouldn't a vacation be nice?

“Linus! You’ve got to lose the blanket! Oh yeah!”

There is one thing that the Redskins have plenty of… and that is retired great running backs who have an opinion. Riggins has joined the pig pile, along with B. Mitch. There seems to be a bit of a competition to see who can contribute the wittiest commentary. That would definitely have to be Riggo… B. Mitch seems to have the bigger bite, though.

Losing Sucks… it’s true.

Laron! Get your head in the game

It was clear from the start… they got into Laron Landry’s head. He was focused on the big hit… his personal game plan: knock Jacobs out. We saw him on several occasions taking “special aim” on his personal boogieman. Fortunately, a penalty was called only once, but what the heck? Ummmmm… Laron? What about Gregg Blaches game plan? Laron? Just play the game. Forget last year… and stop letting bozo’s from other boards get into your head. Play the freaking game… you are too good to let people playing mind games break your discipline.

Did you know that the Redskins will set a record for consecutive games against winless teams this Sunday? It’s true. Clearly, the Gods have smiled upon us! The easiest schedule in football is ours. Danny must have used some kind of Redskins friendly virus on the scheduling computer. What fun!

“B. Mitch Uncensored” 10/12

B. Mitch “I am a Washington Redskin. Yes, I played some in Philadelphia, and New York, but this is the team that gave me my chance. I am a fan.”

Brian Mitchell, who ranks second behind only the great Jerry Rice in Lifetime All Purpose Yards gained, spoke his mind on his show, “B. Mitch Uncensored” today at 1:00.

HOOOOO HOOOOOO! Football is back!

It’s about time:

Mike Sellers has been named a Captain of the Special Teams, which is certainly well deserved. This could prove very interesting, as he is known to be the king of the pranksters at Redskins Park… There will be no restraining him now. Powerful, emotional leader…. bring it, Mike! Just PLEASE make sure Tanner Cooley’s got his camera running once in a while for your “team building” exercises…
