The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Today is Sept 11th its been six years but the pain hasn't subsided . Richard Caggiano was a trader for Canter Fitzgerald He was killed on that day along with his (childhood)best friends Robert Tipaldi and Jude Safi. Richie was a just like us . At the time he was 23 full of dreams and his whole life ahead of him. to understand Richie I would like share with you a "great Richie story"
When he was in college he was buying and selling old Suber bowl tapes.
Like SB I SBII AND SBIII....They were rare and they had alot of demand. Richie was selling these tapes for 30 bucks a pop. After a while the NFL actually mailed him a letter threatening enfringement and copyright lawsuits...so what did Richie do?
he started selling #2 pencils instead ---FOR 30 BUCKS...and with the purchase you received a FREE VINTAGE SUBER BOWL TAPE.....lol

Richie we miss you you were the best ...Your love for the Cowboys was second to none and boy would you love this Romo guy. I wished I had to oppurtunity to tell "Romo sucks hes turnover machine in disguise".

Richie Caggiano was an American and died for it. He was a brother, a son , a grandson and an unbelievably loyal friend...The years are starting to roll by but our hurt never subsides....Godspeed Richie and tell the boys I said hi

Great story. Fan affiliation doesn't matter in memories like this.


RIP Richie and to all the victims of Sept. 11th.

God Bless America.

#2 pencils....

Those could go for at least $40 nowadays, if adjusted for inflation, right?

Thanks Richie. RIP.

He was probably selling them for more now that i think about it.(sb tapes)
He was a great kid with a world of potential. sky was the limit. Every year I think it will get easier but it doesnt .
To Richie, Rob and Jude ....Friends to the last breath....It will never be forgotten.....nor the rest that was taken from us
Thanks for letting me share this...Its not easy
