Losing

May 3, 2025November 13, 2002 by Les Barnhart

Losing sucks. There is really no other way to put it. Some people will say that winning isn’t everything. This is usually said by losers or the parents of kids who just lost. I work with several of these people and I am sick of hearing it. I mean, what kind of attitude is that? … Read more

Week 10: At the Mercy of the Spotted Cat

May 3, 2025November 12, 2002 by Eric Johnson

Greetings, Shaolin Redskins fans. The hunters have returned from the jungle in the south, saddened by the loss of a few of their party. It appears that a spotted cat unexpectedly made an appearance and dragged some men into the undergrowth. The hunters, though they searched long and hard, were unable to find them. Our … Read more

Week 9

May 3, 2025November 7, 2002 by Scott Moore

1. Tasty Tennis Shoes Four weeks ago, I blurted out what I thought at the time was wisdom. I was afraid the Redskins didn’t have enough depth at the RB position. Further, I ranted that Kenny Watson looked nervous, more like he was trying NOT to make a mistake than a player with confidence. Last … Read more

Random Blasts

May 3, 2025November 6, 2002 by Les Barnhart

– The Redskins have climbed back to the .500 mark after beating the Seahawks last week. Many of the football pundits still give us little chance of making the playoffs but at 4-4, I would say that this team is starting to come together quite nicely. – How about that familiar face in Redskin Park? … Read more

Week 9: The Osprey Cries

May 3, 2025November 5, 2002 by Eric Johnson

It is a beautiful day, Shaolin Redskins fans. The crisp breeze blows from the northwest and dries my laundry strung among the bamboo. It is wash day, but I am distracted by the movement of the troops in the valley below. Our host returns triumphant. The Ol’ Ball Coach pulled some unusual lessons from Master … Read more

Week 8

May 3, 2025October 30, 2002 by Scott Moore

1. Puttin’ it on the Line The key to the success of the Redskins against the Colts was the O-line. This group took care of business against the Colts defense. The holes were big, the pass-protection was outstanding and this group did a GREAT job to win the game for the Redskins. Controlling the clock … Read more

Week 8: Taming the Colts

May 3, 2025October 28, 2002 by Eric Johnson

Good day, Shaolin Redskins fans! Today as I write, the autumn sun is shining down onto the trees–flashing brightly off the burnished burgundy and gold leaves. It is a beautiful sight. The Ol’ Ball Coach has taken his recent lessons to heart, and on Sunday he turned around and taught the enemy a lesson or … Read more

Week 7

May 3, 2025October 23, 2002 by Scott Moore

1. Don’t adjust your set It took me a while, but I actually found an angle to watch the game that didn’t look too bad. Feet in the air, upside down, peering underneath the coffee table… the Redskins looked like they might be improving. No, it wasn’t the nine beers before half-time. Take away the … Read more

Fans

May 3, 2025October 22, 2002 by Les Barnhart

I hate to watch the Nittany Lions lose. I hate watching the Redskins lose. Hell, I just hate to lose. The only thing that I hate more than losing is the so-called “fans” of the Redskins. I know that it happens with every team, but for now I will focus in large part on the … Read more

Week 7: Cool Reception on the Tundra

May 3, 2025October 22, 2002 by Eric Johnson

Salutations, Shaolin Redskins fans. A cold wind swirled recently down my valley, reminding the villagers below of the winter that is soon coming. But I sit quietly now in the warm sunshine, remembering that our fortunes rise and fall like a flag in the fitful autumn breeze. The Ol’ Ballcoach continues his education at the … Read more
