Wale’ Live at FedEx Field

Courtesy of Mr. Irrelevant, it’s homegrown hip-hop star Wale performing at halftime of the Redskins-Cowboys game.

How Daniel Snyder Can Immediately Improve the Redskins

Part of the reason that Daniel Snyder continues to bring in coach after coach, free agent after free agent, and losing season after losing season is because its profitable for him. For as much as thousands of fans lament the sad state of the franchise, and its inability to find continuity beyond its annual coronation [...]

Albert Haynesworth Falls Down on the Job

Maybe Albert Haynesworth hates Greg Blache, and maybe he’s exactly right to require a better system by which the Redskins can wreak havoc. And yes; maybe $100 million dollars should buy him a little more input on how to improve a system that is pretty darn good.
But even if the Redskins’ defensive scheme was the [...]

Interviewing Jerry Gray Doesn’t Make the Redskins Less Racist

So, the Redskins would have us believe that because they got a flighty, minority assistant coach to conduct a token interview for a not-yet-vacant head coaching gig, that they aren’t a racist organization?

Bruce Allen in as Redskins General Manager

Well, that was fast.
So just how long was this move in the making? Has Jon Gruden given some indication that he will become the next head coach? And what about Allen’s track record as a personnel guy? Not exactly a resume’ that jives with Snyder’s free spending nature for old free agents.
Welcome to another edition [...]

Vinny Cerrato Resigns, Redskins’ Biggest Problem Grows Stronger

If there are any Redskins fans that genuinely believe that Vinny Cerrato was a problem, if they think that he was more than a figurehead to deflect attention from Daniel Snyder’s manipulative and erratic ownership, there’s a much bigger problem than this team trying to make the playoffs.

Are the Redskins Better Than Their Record?

Bill Parcells famously said that you are what your record says you are, and no truer words have ever been spoken. But in Washington, one of the things that makes local sports so agonizingly painful to root for is that talent doesn’t always meet coaching, which usually doesn’t meet fan expectations.
And in the end, you [...]

Who’s Worse: Redskins or Wizards?

To answer that question, you have to look at what you knew about both teams before the season started, and what we’ve learned thus far.
