Water Gate

 

Yes I know… watergate was one word. But this is a different kind of watergate, it actually refers to water.

For starters, there was a section reserved at Fed Ex Field for RAVENS fans. Yes, that’s right… it was a free-for-all for Redskin fans to find a seat, but Ravens fans were treated to an entire reserved section in the lower bowl at center field… arguably the best section in the stadium. Fed Ex Field staff went to great length to keep Redskin fans out of the great seats… awesome.

My day at camp

2006 Training Camp: Quarterbacks

They are the ‘however’, the ‘but’ and the reason for caution in most Redskins previews. Their names have been accompanied by warnings often enough that we could call them the Caveat Crew. They are the Redskins quarterbacks. Their names and the accompanying warnings are familiar to most Redskins fans: Mark “He’s Old/Injured” Brunell, Todd “Journeyman/Who?” … Read more

Redskins Radio

I’ve tried to contain my impatience as I peruse over the ever-growing message board posts and media articles taking an opportunity to take their shots at the new Redskins Radio. Really… I’ve tried. I’ve actually bitten off so much of my tongue that all I can really say on the matter anymore is… ‘Lah, blah-bla…. … Read more
