The DTC’s Fame Continues to Grow
By Chris Mottram | March 19, 2008
Much like the present day National Football League, being a member of the Dead Tree Crew is a year round job. As evidence, we received an email last week from The Mayor himself:
The DTC is set the to steal the thunder from St. Patricks day and March Madness. … We will be launching a multi pronged attack …”
Part of this “attack” was the launch of DeadTreeCrew.com, where you can see endless photos of their tailgates at F-51, watch their music videos (featuring such classics as “Hit a Motherfucking Eagle Fan”), learn about their history and much more. Really, it’s about time such sophisticated gentlemen became hip to the web.
The second part of the “attack” (and this is where “multi” came into play) was the “exclusive” release of the trailer from a local documentary about Redskins tailgating. The doc is being made by an American University student named Josh Sautter. So, without futher ado, here’s your first look:
With all due respect to The Mayor (see also: Please don’t hit me with the gold brick), I don’t think members of the DTC are the very definition of a Redskins fan. Don’t get me wrong, they’re clearly devoted to the team, but Skins fans come in many varieties, the majority of which probably don’t drink out of cones or “get down on the Crown” at seven in the AM. But to each, his own.

These guys sing “Hit a Motherfucking Eagle Fan”, but they act like damn Eagles fans.
But congrats on your takeover. Maybe you can see if you can have a tag team match, you and the Pilgrim vs the Guiness people and the lucky charms midget.

Act like eagle fans? Whatever!
I love the blog, good work, great trailor Josh!

The DTC is the Brett Favre of Redskins fandom. Reckless and sometimes dangerous, but they capture the heart of all who come in contact with them.
With that being said, I think I’ve saved myself from the caning promised to me in an anonymous email three weeks ago.

I can’t believe you didn’t use the “Exclusive!” tag for this.

Ah, that’s better.
Now, I’m gonna go chug three beers out of a road cone to receive honorary DTC membership.

#1 we don’t sing, we rap.
#2 Your blog is great. I was reading your last updated post, you know, the one from 35 days ago and man. Ive never seen someone suck so much at sucking. Seriously. Did you even know Stuart Scott DOES NOT have a lazy eye? I guess when you have a shitty blog, it is only appropriate that your title is just as shitty (and incorrect).
#3 I see youre from Oregon. If you hate us so much, why have you been checking the DTC site out like it has free porn? Seriously. I pretty much pegged you IP and you have visted the site more than me today.
#4 Maybe you should meet at FedEx Field this year. Then you can rename your blog to: StuScottsLazyEye blogger got punched in his eye by the Mayor of FedEx Field.
I like the sound of that.

Oh Mayor, let the poor bastard off the hook, you know there has to be a hater on every blog and he figures if he is the first hater he’ll get some people to check out his “sight”

“With all due respect to The Mayor (see also: Please don’t hit me with the gold brick), I don’t think members of the DTC are the very definition of a Redskins fan.”
Well it just depends on what kind of philosophy you happen to espouse. I suppose it is the case that bad ass Jack Burton from Big Trouble In Little China wasn’t the “very definition of a” man, since the rest of us mere mortals really can’t size up with the Porkchop Express. But as far as Platonic ideals go, Jack Burton WAS the very definition of a man, since he was and is and forever shall be everything that men should be.
So, in that limited but I think very compelling way, though The Mayor may accurately describe what Redskins fans ARE, reasonable minds — like mine — could believe that he defines what Redskins fans SHOULD be. That is loud, passionate, and willing to drown crown at 7AM for no better reason than a football binge broke out during my drinking game.

May not, I mean. Most fans don’t look and act like The Mayor, because they simply don’t appreciate what’s good and right and drunk in life. I do; you crazy mother fuckers better promise never to change.

Don’t worry the DTC will never change, and like Jack Burton will beat down eagle fans even if they can shoot lighting!
