Cheap Seats: The State of the Skins

My fellow Skins fans, these are tough times to bleed burgundy and gold. The media has labeled this season a disaster for our Joe Gibbs-led franchise, and we’ve seen the return of hackneyed, big-spending-Snyder jokes. We are now into week 8 of having to endure the mockery aimed at Al Saunders’ 700-page playbook. (Have you … Read more

Hognostications: Week 8

This week, the Redskins join a group of losers (Bills, Lions, and Dolphins) with a bye. This group has won 6 of the 28 games played between them for a pathetic combined winning percentage of .286. For some reason, that worthless statistic doesn’t make this Hognosticator feel any better about his Hognostication percentage. Last week … Read more

Hognostications: Week 7

Well at least we’re not Cardinal fans. However, as with the Card fans, this past week thoroughly tested the resolve of those of us that bleed burgundy and gold. As painful as an untimely loss to a 0-5 team at home is, it can’t compare to the five seasons endured with Norv Turner at the … Read more

Every football fan knows someone close to them who isn’t interested in the game, and for many guys it is their girlfriend or wife.
