Redskins defensive end Adam Carriker had wrestler Goldberg on his 4th and Pain show before the game against the Falcons, and the two of them made a bet:

Goldberg, an ardent Falcons fan, would wear a Redskins jersey if Washington beat Atlanta. Carriker subsequently agreed that if the Falcons beat the Redskins, that he would don Goldberg’s full wrestling garb, including speedo, as his ‘punishment.’

Oh… The Redskins Kickers (Rant)

October 10, 2012 by Mark Solway

I admit it, I’m frustrated, I’m fed up, I’m exasperated – hang whatever you want on me – I’m sick and damn tied of my ulcer bleeding every time the Washington Redskins attempt a field goal.

I don’t have anything against Kai Forbath at all, but to me, he is just another in a very, very long line of terrible kicking decisions in the nation’s capital.

You can call that condemnation harsh all you want, the franchise’s track record speaks for itself.

Redskins New Kicker

October 9, 2012 by Mark Solway

The Redskins have released Billy Cundiff after just five games, because well, did you watch him? It’s an amazing statement that in the sea of poop that is the Redskins kicking situation the last 20 years – Cundiff is just another that failed to shine.

The Redskins have signed a new kicker, and I have just received an exclusive photo to share with you all:

Five Quick Thoughts: Falcons

October 8, 2012 by Mark Solway

It was yet another tough experience for Redskins Nation, as Washington had every chance to hand Atlanta their first loss of the season; but in the end, it was the Falcons who came out on top 24-17. Here are some quick thoughts on the game:

1) Robert Griffin III – Obviously the collective breaths of every Redskin fan on the planet, were held tight, when RGIII was drilled in the head. Mildly concussed, he wouldn’t return. Hopefully RGIII will recover quickly and be ready for next week, but will this be a wake up call to the importance of sliding for the young rookie? Tough is tough, but you don’t have to be careless to be tough. He needs to learn to protect himself a bit better, and live to fight another down. It’s hard to even suggest to someone with the kind of fire and integrity that RGIII has, that he should take the ‘easier route’ but that’s what he needs to do. His team needs him – for more than any one game, or any one play.

Thoughts on Redskins vs. Falcons

Sick. I’m so sick. I feel like I’ve been knocked out, concussed, and am now nauseated… oh, maybe that’s Robert Griffin III.

Before I start, allow me to link you to my keys to the game.

1. We didn’t throw the football. We tried, a little, but we didn’t throw, especially not when we should have.

RGIII Everywhere

June 1, 2025October 4, 2012 by Mark Solway

RGIII is everywhere.

NFL.com is running a story titled, “RG3 and Redskins top NFL watchability power rankings.” It seems strange, considering that in the actual content of the article itself, the only mention of Griffin is, “Quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III make mediocre squads fascinating. I want to be there from the beginning with their careers.”

It seems almost gratuitous to make the Redskins and Griffin the subject of the story’s title, when other than Washington being in a list of “Must Watch” teams, the only other mention of them is to call them a “mediocre squad.”

RGIII For ROTW… Again

Twice in four weeks? Why not? How could he not be? Robert Griffin III is again up for Pepsi Rookie of the Week, so head on over to NFL.com and vote for him!

Five Quick Thoughts About: Bucs

October 1, 2012 by Mark Solway

There were a lot of things to see and feel on a day that was a roller coaster for most of Redskins Nation. After a dominant first half, and then nearly throwing it away in the second half, a knight in shining armor swooped in and saved the day – only our knight had a sleeve on his left arm.

RGIII – why not start where everyone will? The guy is just phenomenal. Every week, he reveals a new wrinkle to his game and or character, and he just keeps impressing everyone that knows anything about football. When Griffin took to the field with less than 2 minutes to go, with 1 timeout, and EVERY drop of momentum going Tampa’s way – I still believed that he would do it. I tweeted:

Roger… Stop The Insanity

September 25, 2012 by Mark Solway

By now you have surely seen, or heard about the Monday Night Football gaffe that cost the Green Bay Packers the game against the Seattle Seahawks, If you haven’t, you really need to, so here is a link.

The NFL just announced that they supported the decision last night, that the Seattle Seahawk receiver actually caught a touchdown pass, and that the Seahawks deserved to win the game.
