Recurring columns and weekly editorial series from the Redskins era.
With nothing left to play for but the role of spoiler, the Redskins finished up their season Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. As has become customary this year, this team once again showed grit, determination and heart in earning their 6th victory of the season.

1. Upon Further Review Well the refs didn’t win the game for the Cowboys, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. The sideline official attempted to give the Cowboys a First Down.

The Redskins came into this week looking to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They were also looking to end the string of losses the team has experienced at the hands of the Cowboys and that Coach Gibbs has suffered at the hands of Bill Parcells.

Another bogus Pass Interference call gave the opposing team points – points that they were not going to have otherwise. Not enough … Read more
This one will simply remembered as the one that got away. The Redskins put up a valiant effort, but it wasn’t enough to upset the Philadelphia Eagles in an epic battle. In what can only be described as a nasty affair, Washington came out on the losing end of a 17-14 result. Passing: Unfortunately the … Read more
‘Tis the season for family and friends, Santa Claus and Christmas wishes. For many others, it is the time for running up credit card bills for presents that will occupy a landfill near you by springtime.
