As news of Chris Samuels retirement rapidly spread across the internet yesterday, Redskin fans began their outpouring of gratitude for a decade of great service. It was a bit premature.
Washington Redskins
So Long Chris?
Jason Reid at the Washington Post WAS reporting that Chris Samuels was officially retiring; but now the blog has been updated to say that, “A source close to Samuels said he will not make a final decision on retirement until December or January.”
After suffering a neck inury two weeks ago, many have speculated, myself included, that the injury could bring about the end of his career – the end of an era really.
News and Notes: Zorn / Cerrato / Largent / Thomas
While it has become almost painful to watch the Redskins fumble through each and every week, it’s our job at THN to keep bringing you the news – no matter how ’embarrassing’ some of it might be.
Yesterday, Vinny Cerrato publicly endorsed coach Jim Zorn’s job stability.
Zorn Remains Dignified
As Redskin fans spend the week looking for a nice deep hole to stick their head in and hide, Jim Zorn suffered the dubious distinction of having to hold a Monday Press Conference and explain the state of the team to the media. Somehow, he did so with grace and dignity.
Leftovers – Week 7
Here are this week’s leftovers from THN Weekly with Andre Carter.
THN: Haynesworth apparently left to go to the locker room with about 25 seconds left in the game but he was also the one guy to make his voice heard and try to motivate guys and get them to step their game up after the game. Is that true? If so, why did he leave so early and what did he say?
Hognostications Week 7
Congratulations goes out to, yours truly, Hoss and jeremyroyce for having a hognostication score of 10-4 for week 6. Rounding out the top 6 are Mursilis, Countertrey, TeeterSalad and Deadskins.

Jones-ing For Some O-Line Help
While I’m sure what I wrote had nothing to do with it, last week I blogged that I couldn’t believe that the Redskins hadn’t brought in an offensive lineman or two; at least give them a look, and see if they could try and improve the team’s anemic line play.
Hogs Haven Spoof – Hilarious
Check out the latest spoof from our friends at Hogs Haven. Here’s a sneak peak:
Sun Tzu, Daniel Snyder and Jim Zorn
The following post was written by theHogs.net member, Redskin in Canada. I have in the past, been a Dan Snyder apologist, and RiC and I have had a few spirited debates on this topic, but as I slowly leave the dark side and come into the light, much of what he has been saying over the past few seasons has really started to make sense.
BMitch Uncensored Equals Fans Uncensored
Former Redskins great Brian Mitchell will be doing his Monday show a little differently this week. He’s giving us fans a chance to voice our opinions on his show. Here is the note he posted on our board moments ago: You know what folks…Today on the show it is going to be…. ‘redskin fans uncensored’. Call … Read more
