Week 12

1. Salty Dog You know that feeling you get when it’s time to test a 9-volt battery? That one moment, just as you convince yourself to stick your tongue out and the battery is raised to about an 1/8th of an inch before contact… that’s Chad Morton waiting to catch a ball in the air. … Read more

Note from Boss Hogette

The Redskins* lost again Sunday to the Saints, another team they could have beaten. The habit is locked in. Again our defense faltered in the fourth quarter, giving up a go-ahead touchdown late in the game. Our guys just cannot seem to make a play when they need to late in the game, whether it … Read more

Looking for A Bright Spot

Well at 4-7, it would appear that the dreams and wishes of the Redskins’ faithful are on hold for yet another season.
