If you're like me, any article that even mentions the Redskins is worth reading (how pathetic. . .). Here's one about a national-player receiver in NFL Europe (hey, since I'm here studying in London for the semester maybe I'll be able to check it out with greater ease!)
Here's the quote that's pertinent to the Skins (for the lazy):
. . .At the time, Couper was a big fan of the Washington Redskins. Former Redskins receiving great Art Monk was Couper's favorite player, which was why he chose the jersey number he wears to this day -- 81. Couper will never forget watching Monk in 1984, when he caught 106 passes for an NFL record that stood for eight years, and in 1992, when he surpassed Steve Largent to temporarily rank as the league's all-time receptions leader. Largent was another player Couper admired. . .

Scott Couper is a legend to Claymores fans. AS Brit National who has performed excellently at WR for the 'Mores.
You might want to check out the UK based Redskins Review fanzine, one of the things it includes is a diary section, so you don't miss any news.

The desire to continue giving the game everything at whatever level of the game you play is embodied in Couper,a legend in British based American Football. If we are talking NFL Europe briefly where are those London Monarchs? Now that the new awesome Wembley stadium is on the horizon , I think its time for the first World Bowl Champions to come back.

Hey, interesting to see a few Brit Skins fans. I live near Washington D.C., go to college out in the midwest of the US; but this semester I'm studying abroad here in northern London. Mostly I've been checking out EPL football and the 6 nations Rugby cup, but I really can't wait to get home and get back to the football that I really love.
Dieselhog, where is that Skins fan magazine located--online?
Also, do either of you (or others) know the best way to catch some NFL Europe action while I'm here for the next couple of months--such as when the games are and if I can catch them without sky network, etc.
