Tuesday, September 30th, 2008I’ve always considered Dallas to be the Skins’ greatest rival and assumed everyone else did too. Probably because it’s regarded as one of the great rivalries in all of sports, and also because that’s how I was raised. But then I wrote about the Skins-Cowboys new classics, and the first two comments, including one from [...]
Dan Snyder: ‘We Play Physical, We Win!’
Monday, September 29th, 2008As promised last night, here’s the video of Danny Boy entering the locker room after the Skins win, all sorts of PUMPED TO THE MAXXXX!!!1!!!111!
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what it would look like if Michael Scott’s branch of Dunder-Mifflin moved like an extra 60 reems of paper or something. And Scott’s employees would have [...]
Tank Johnson Is the Smartest Man Alive
Monday, September 29th, 2008Via Redskins Insider:
Tank Johnson (ed. note — who has played all of 12 games with the Cowboys) had to be restrained after return specialist Rock Cartwright stood on the 50-yard line star at Texas Stadium as he celebrated Washington’s 26-24 victory.
“This is how it is. When you win, you win with class. When you lose, [...]
Redskins-Cowboys Winners & Losers
Sunday, September 28th, 2008Handing out labels following Skins games. Today: a 26-24 win over Dallas …
WINNERS: Jim Zorn and Jason Campbell – Their success and growth is intrinsically linked, and, for each of them, this is the first win against Dallas. It came in Washington’s final game at Texas Stadium to boot, a victory fit for inclusion among [...]
Zorn’s So Stoked He’s Punching Buges
Sunday, September 28th, 2008Daps and pounds just don’t mix, especially when you’re a white man aged 50-plus. Unless, of course, you’re beating Dallas. Then anything goes.
Programming note: Winners & Losers to come, pending Redskins victory.
Update: That. Just. Happened. Skins win 26-24, in what was a far more dominating performance than the score would indicate. Pretty good considering the [...]
LaRon Landry Remains Modest
Friday, September 26th, 2008When you see LaRon’s Hummer pictured below, I know what you’re gonna think: That’s a man who craves attention. But it ain’t even about that. No, LaRon upgraded from the stock 20s to the 30s for one reason only: because that’s his jersey number. If that’s some sort of theme amongst NFL players, I’d love [...]
Nationals Fan Appreciation Day Fail
Friday, September 26th, 2008Well, this is a fitting end to the Nats first season in their new ballpark: On fan appreciation day, their final home game of the year was canceled due to rain. But that wasn’t going to stop the team from appreciating the faithful few who lingered around:
After the rainout was announced, Acta, the coaching staff [...]
D.C. Turns the Tables on Dallas Week
Friday, September 26th, 2008I’m not sure where the direction-less debate about Dallas’ greatest rival went off the rails, but this much is true: Dallas is Washington’s greatest rival. And for a long time there, during the dark days between Joe Gibbs eras in general and the seven seasons from ‘98 to ‘04 specifically, it was a one-sided rivalry [...]
