Sunday, August 31st, 2008That would be Hall of Famer Don Sutton with the peace sign and eternal optimist Bob Carpenter with the come hither stare, both dressed as stereotypical 1960’s hippies on ’70’s Night at Nats Park. A for effort, F for historical accuracy and self respect.
League-worst TV ratings or not, that’s just depressing. But at least hardly [...]
Maryland Football Preview: ‘I Say 8 Wins’
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Joining us now on the first day of the new season are Mr. Irrelevant Maryland sports correspondents Andy Peden and Brad Parker …
Before we get started, do you have any stories from last season?
Peden: Yeah, I went to the UVA game and thought the Terps got absolutely F’ed at the end. At the [...]
Pictured: Barack Obama Redskins Jersey
Friday, August 29th, 2008Why this faceless Redkins fan goes with “BARACK OBAMA 08″ over simply “OBAMA 08″ — or why he chooses to merge football, politics and hot fitteds — is beyond me, but at least his timing is impeccable. And even McCainiacs can agree that this is probably better than “BRUNELL 8.”
(Found on Extreme Skins by The [...]
Redskins-Jaguars Winners & Losers
Friday, August 29th, 2008
Loser: Jim Zorn — He went ahead and played the starters, only to see them commit turnovers and go 3-and-out. So much for tempo. At least no one got hurt. Physically.
Loser: The punting game — Regardless of w’happened in this, the last game of the open competition, the job should be Durant Brooks’. Of course, [...]
Don’t Like Waiting in Lines to Get Into FedEx? Fork Over More Money Then.
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Dan Snyder has heard your complaints, Redskins fans, about the long lines that form before kick-off, as people flood into the stadium. And his response? Give me more money, if getting to your $75 nosebleeds seats after already paying $40 for parking is so god damn urgent:
Over the weekend, he started selling something called “Fast [...]
The 3rd and 4th Greatest Skins Hats Ever
Thursday, August 28th, 2008On the heels of the Hogs hat and Art Monk Football Camp comes a beauty, this mesh joint recalling my favorite game of all-time (via David Chalk):
And here’s yet another in mesh, this one sitting on fur and harking back to the first game I can remember (via The Mayor):
If you have something at home that [...]
Buy Sean Taylor’s Spear Gun If You Like

Items include burgundy and gold-colored couches, Redskins-Cowboys pool balls, a “black panther glass top table,” a spear gun, a seven-piece bedroom set (mine is only four) and much [...]
Teddy Races the Presidents Disguised as Manny, Loses in Predictable Fashion
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008With the Dodgers in town yesterday to start a series against the Nats, Teddy Roosevelt, everybody’s favorite lovable loser (you know, aside from the team itself), decided to put on the Manny wig for the Presidents Race.
As always, the race didn’t end well for Teddy. According to Let Teddy Win, he jumped out to an [...]
Kevin Duckworth Is on God’s Duckwagon
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008Maybe it’s through Wizznutzz that Kevin Duckworth endeared himself to me as a ’90s-era Bullet that was just as lovable as those teams were terrible. And so it is that today’s a sad one for Wiz fans, ball fans and just about everyone, really, that Duck passed away suddenly at the age of 44. A [...]
A Cubs Fans Wishes to Let You Know That the Nats Are Doomed
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008Apparently, here’s the latest sign that the Nationals will soon be forced to pack up shop and leave D.C.: Their radio ratings are awful. (This is totally shocking because, a) AM/FM radio is doing so well right now, b) how could anyone not wanna listen to a 100-loss team play?) This comes on the heels [...]
