Recurring columns and weekly editorial series from the Redskins era.
1) I have a confession: I cheat at minesweeper. I find even the easy version is too much for someone of my limited patience/intellect. I like to play the “custom” version wherein I make a huge board but I have only 10 mines … it takes me about two clicks to win. Sometimes I still … Read more
Congratulations go out to Fiji Hog with a 13-2 record last week. There were several hognosticators with a respectable 12-3 record also.
Damn.. MANY close games last week. I guess that’s what separates the men from the boys. That’s OK, I like using the Redskins strategy and lulling my opponent to sleep before I make my move.
If you want to make a few bucks this week, then I suggest you take these to the bank:
After a great come from behind 29-24 victory by the Washington Redskins, here is this week’s Six Pack: 1) Hey, that was a lot more fun. A mere 10 days after putting a sizable portion of the Redskins fan base on suicide watch, the team bounced back with a thrilling win. Jim Zorn went from … Read more
Sure the New Orleans Saints were injury depleted as they travelled to FedEx Field to square off against the Washington Redskins. Sure Jim Zorn brought out the Skins in white-on-white, forcing the Saints to wear dark gold pants and black jerseys in the 94-degree weather. The burgundy and gold still went out, overcame missed kicks … Read more
Well the 2008 Hognostications are under way! While its week two in the NFL, its week one of our friendly little NFL Pick ‘Em Pool, and despite the late notice, we have 40 Hognosticators vying for the title in week one, or two, or whatever…
Welcome to the first of a weekly series of hognostication blogs brought to you by your’s truly…Hoss.
Congratulations go out to our 2007 champ HOOKBASSGA, who totally dominated the hognostications from beginning to end. The rest of the top eight finishers were: Mursilis, Texas Hog, Justice Hog, SkinsJock, JSPB22, RIC and REDEEMEDSKIN. You all did a fantastic job….but that was last year!!!!
Due to time restrictions and the amount of data tracking that goes into Hognostications each week, we try to have the cut-off date for picks be 9pm of the Friday evening before the Sunday games.
This year, there are an inordinate amount of games on Thursday nights. So please MAKE SURE that you know this schedule and get your picks in on time. Virtually all weeks that there is a Thursday night game, the game is at 8:15pm and you have until 6pm that day to get your picks in.
TheHogs.net is proud to announce that after much consideration, we will again be running our free Hognostications Pick ‘Em Pool in 2008. Obviously we will not have any results for week one, but we’re looking forward to getting everyone involved quickly, and starting the 2008 contest in week two.
The Six Pack is back, offering Washington Redskins fans the unique musings of Stephen Zorio. 1) The annual Washington Redskins Fans Panic & Picnic has come a bit early this season. The picnic was tremendous, even if I was the only one there. Again … except for the kids who stopped to throw rocks … … Read more
The Washington Redskins, who were on their greatest winning streak since the six-game 2005 run that put them in Seattle for a divisional playoff game against the Seahawks, fell flat in the final minutes of Saturday’s wild card game. It ended a season of tremendous tragedy and accomplishment. On to the Fifth Quarter rankings, which … Read more
