Recurring columns and weekly editorial series from the Redskins era.
After being asked to be an honorary Hogette for the Dallas game, I remember the first thing I thought of was where am I going to find a dress? I soon learned that the dress would be the least of my worries, when it comes to “dressing out” for a game as a Hogette. I … Read more
With the growth of THN’s tailgating, and the tailgating section of the website, it seemed prudent to augment the experience with some great tailgate recipes. Every week following an away game, THN will be running recipes in place of the Pig Pen (which we run on Tuesdays in the week’s following a home game). Our … Read more
After three quarters of futility, the groundwork was being laid for the opening to the fifth quarter. The Redskins were on their way to yet another collapse in Texas Stadium. Parcells was looking smug on the sidelines (and why not, he was 77-0 when leading at any point of the fourth quarter). Then something strange … Read more
With the exception of New York, I can’t imagine a better place to open the NFL season on September 11th than in our nation’s capital. As promised, Isaac’s partnered with THN to host this year’s inaugural tailgate party. That wonderful smell coming from the green lot was the smell of filet mignon being cooked up … Read more
It wasn’t pretty. It was a war of atrition. It was a hard-fought battle. You know all the cliches that go along with a 9-7 NFL game.

Each week of this season TheHogs.net will bring you Hognostications, a staff member’s picks on who will win each game and why. If you pick up a slight bit of Hognosticator homerism, do not be alarmed, that is the intent. As always, kids, please no wagering. In addition, each week we will review the past … Read more
THN traveled to the Rehoboth Beach Country Club in Delaware, where we teamed up with the Hogettes and former Redskins’ greats Reggie Branch, Brian Mitchell, Raleigh McKenzie, Ed Simmons, Clarence Vaughn, Ravin Caldwell and Dave Harbour. While many of the ex-Redskins looked like they could still tee it up on the football field, today they … Read more
What on earth is wrong with the world of sports journalism? Can we even call it journalism anymore? We live in the age of technology, which is an exciting thing, so why then is this potential for information being choked by irresponsibility? I understand the value of shock journalism and the idealism of negativity being … Read more
As the country prepares to pay their respects to those who have fought to secure our freedoms I would also like to join them in thanking not only those whom have passed but also those who continue to protect our freedoms today. In addition to the brave men and women of the armed forces, I … Read more
