Saturday, July 26th, 2003 marked the proudest day of this website’s short history. Melanie Pierce, the marketing director for Ken Harvey’s marketing company JAKA and for the Redskin Alumni, invited us to help with the Football Fan Classic that was being put on at Splashdown Park in Manassas, Virginia. So BossHog, NewsHog, Scooter, and the … Read more
Overview: OK, What a totally wierd practice. If I thought the morning practice was lax, I was wrong. This practice was intended to be lax. The players came out with no pads AND no helmets. This means there was no real contact of any kind. If I thought it was hot and muggy this morning, … Read more
Field Conditions: It was a VERY hot and muggy day at Redskins Park today. The bugs were out and the players were definitely sweating up a storm. Just sitting on the sidelines, I was getting drenched. The Highlights: From a football standpoint, this practice was not one of the best. There were lots of dead … Read more
I’m going to do this write up a little different. I will give an overview of the highlights and then I thought I would do a chronology of events from prior to practice to the end to give those of you who haven’t gone a pretty clear flavor of how these things go. The Highlights: … Read more

They do not have pads on, and the energy and concentration level in this one was pretty low until the last 20 minutes, where they had some … Read more
The practice this morning took place in an overcast sky. They changed fields from the normal one to the far left field – their normal field looked pretty chewed up. Because there were at least a number of people there the bugs on the far side weren’t nearly as bad. During the warmups Chris Samuels … Read more
