London Fletcher Ranks 4th On NFL’s ‘Over 35′ List

Published on May 18, 2012 by in General Info, Players, Uncategorized

NFL.com just ranked the top players in the league who are 35 or over. Our beloved London Fletcher comes in number 4 on that list, behind Tom Brady, Charles Woodson and Ray Lewis. But Bucky Brooks acts as if London Fletcher just started making plays. After spending a large portion of his career toiling in relative anonymity, Fletcher has become a household name due to his outstanding production over the past three seasons. He has consistently ranked among the league’s top defenders in tackles and is regarded as one of the best run stuffers in the NFL. Fletcher not only

Ahhhh Yes! Fantasy Freaking Football!

Published on May 17, 2012 by in General Info, Players

Thank the Lord for whomever invented fantasy football. I look forward to my fantasy draft every single year. The fantasy draft symbolizes the NFL season is near. It’s like Christmas Eve before the week one games. But, unlike some of my better prepared players, I just get really drunk and start picking Redskins players around the 4th round. “Oh Santana Moss is available! Take that shit bitches, he’s having a comeback year. 2005 all over again. WHAT WHAT!” Then the next day I look at my roster like you look at a fat girl in your bed after a night

Robert Griffin III Is Better Than Andrew Luck…Says The Simulator

Published on May 17, 2012 by in General Info

Ryan Fowler of WhatifSports.com wrote an interesting article about Robert Griffin III and the Redskins going against Andrew Luck and the Colts. And guess what? The Redskins win 58.8 % of the time. Kool-Aid bitch. Now this simulation takes into consideration the defense. special teams and offensive weapons of the teams, it’s not just Griffin versus Luck. But the numbers are similar: Luck’s and RG3′s average game stats Player Avg. CMP % Avg. Pass YDS Avg. TD Passes Griffin III 61.4 235.9 1.56 Luck 61.6 267.6 1.52 As Fowler explains,  Luck’s passing numbers are better, in part, because he attempted

Which Players Might Make The Biggest Leaps In 2012?

Published on May 15, 2012 by in General Info, Players

Even though the Redskins’ overall record went down by one win last season, there were individual players that definitely made progress. Fred Davis finally emerged as a serious tight end, especially early on in the season, grabbing 59 balls (giggity) for 796 yards and three touchdowns. He seemed to “burn out” during the last four games though. Kory Lichtensteiger was arguably the Redskins’ best offensive lineman, up until an injury ended his season much too early. This was after a 2010 campaign that was…well…not so good. Adam Carriker, the former first round choice of the St. Louis Rams, finally lived

My WAAAAYYYY Too Early NFL Division Predictions (NFC)

Published on May 15, 2012 by in Uncategorized

The middle of May is awful. There is absolutely zero NFL activity, well except Tim Hightower re-signing (earth-shattering, I know.) So what better time to roll out my NFC division predictions?! Disclaimer: Don’t make any bets based on these, because I’m mostly full of shit…like every other blogger on the internet. But Enjoy. NFC SOUTH: 1st Place- Carolina Panthers (11-5) In 2010, when I was stuck watching a Panthers game because the Skins weren’t on, it was BRUTAL. The games were literally unwatchable. Want to interrogate a terrorist at Guantanamo? Make him watch tape of Jimmy Clausen at quarterback. Now, under

Darrell Green Recognized as A Home Town Hall of Famer; Weighs in on RGIII

Published on May 14, 2012 by in Players

Darrell Green was very easily one of the greatest Redskins to ever grace the gridiron. A Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back, Darrell spent all of his illustrious 20-year career with the Redskins. I had the chance to speak with Darrell over the phone on Monday evening. For those that don’t know what the “Home Town Hall of Famer” is; Allstate Insurance Company and the Pro Football Hall of Fame recognize Hall of Fame players as heroes in their home town. Darrell will be recognized at Jones High School, where he graduated from in Houston, Texas. He’ll also have a

Hey North Carolina Skins Fans…It’s A Good Year!

Published on May 13, 2012 by in General Info, Schedule

Before 1995, North Carolina was Redskins territory. Then somebody decided it was a good idea to put a professional football team in Charlotte. Well, kiss my white ass Carolina Panthers, you fucked up Sundays for a lot of us. Now, I could go out and get the NFL Sunday Ticket, but I’m poor as shit. I pick up about 20 channels with rabbit ears and luckily three of those channels are FOX, CBS and NBC. So, for those of us living in NC, this is for you (except for those elitist Sunday Ticket subscribers.) We know that when the Panthers are playing at

Shanahan, The Running Back Slut

Published on May 12, 2012 by in General Info, Players

Mike Shanahan is the Kim Kardashian of NFL coaches. It seems every week he has the hots for a new feature back, leaving the last one dumped, void of pride and nobody remembers them in a month. It’s truly a mystery who will start at running back for the Washington Redskins in 2012. So, let’s go over some of the possible suitors Shanahan might strike up a love affair with. Roy Helu: The Tongan Torpedo makes a pretty strong case for being the starting running back for the Redskins. Helu had one carry in the opening game against the New

DreadEx Field

Published on May 11, 2012 by in General Info

My grandpa first purchased Redskins season tickets in 1961. He bought them with a family friend whom purchased the adjacent seats. Since that time someone from the Hess family has been to almost all of the big Redskins games. Playoff games, NFC championships, the Theismann game all the way up to the Alex Barron holding call game. Of course I was too young to be present for most of these games. I’ve only heard stories about RFK Stadium literally bouncing up and down. From what they tell me it was a pretty awesome time to be a Skins fan, and

The Jersey Curse (Not Tanning Beds)

Published on May 11, 2012 by in Apparel, General Info

I called my dad the night of April 26, 2012 and said “we got him,” referring to the Redskins’ shiny new quarterback, Robert Griffin III. “Whatever you do, don’t buy his jersey,” said my dad. As fans, we generally all have our suspicions. Maybe you watch the games at a certain bar, or have a routine you follow on game day or you wear your special lucky underwear. Well, I’ve banned myself from ever buying another Redskins jersey. I have a jersey curse. When I buy your jersey, it’s like that player just watched the tape from “The Ring.” I’m
