« Previous EntriesTop 10 Best-Selling Mr. Irrelevant T-Shirts
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009As an outgrowth of Blog Show, in which Dan Steinberg and I wore homemade t-shirts every week, we set up the Mr. Irrelevant T-Shop. Surprisingly, we’ve sold dozens of some of the shirts over the years. Not surprisingly, most of our bestsellers are Skins-related.
Because I check this often and find it fascinating, here are our [...]
DMV: The Skins’ ‘Fire Hydrant on Wheels’
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Through it all, one Redskin everyone loves is London Fletcher. Thankfully, Mike Wise features the leading tackler of the decade. An excerpt:
“Teammates always figure if a guy that small and compact can have the closing speed of a rat trap, if a man who moves like a fire hydrant on wheels can drop much bigger [...]

Photo: DeShawn’s New Tats Are Unusual
Monday, September 28th, 2009I’m not saying DeShawn Stevenson is crazy. I’m just saying Deshawn’s new tattoos are crazy, and Truth About It has pics of the fresh art installations:
Abraham Lincoln on his neck
A backwards Pirates logo on his cheek
A crack on his forehead.
D.C. Sports Bog and Wizznutzz are going to have a field day with this.
Update: The Washington [...]
Detroit DMV: Riggo Calls Snyder Names
Monday, September 28th, 2009There were so many worthwhile links off of the Redskins-Lions game that we’ve broken them out separately from the daily DMV. Enjoy, I guess.
John Riggins calls Danny a “loser,” and ESPN 980, which Snyder owns, retweets it. That may have been a bad choice. [Stet Sports Blog]

Jim Zorn Says ‘We’re Getting Better’ the Day After Losing to Detroit
Monday, September 28th, 2009This is what Jim Zorn said today — one day after being dominated by the Lions and eight days after somehow managing to not lose to the Rams at home:
“In the big picture, I think things are progressing. We’re getting better. It’s not coming in the (wins). We’ll continue to press on.”
Take a minute. Let [...]

Redskins-Lions Winners & Losers
Sunday, September 27th, 2009This’ll be brief. Pour salt on the wounds in the comments.
LOSERS
Jim Zorn — Went for it on 4th-and-goal from the 2 on the opening drive and failed. Accepted a Lions penalty on Detroit’s second drive that enabled them to score a touchdown rather than attempt a long field goal. Orchestrated an offense that struggled to [...]
Skins-Lions Twitter/Fan-Fueled Live Blog
Sunday, September 27th, 2009I’ll be in front of the TV, laptop on, devouring a mound of chicken wings for today’s game, so, what the hell, let’s do a live blog/chat-type thing.
Join us here at 1 p.m. ET for kickoff and we’ll scroll until either a) the Skins are 2-1 or b) Zorn is a dead man. Pray for [...]
Celebrating Loss 101 With Awful T-Shirts
Saturday, September 26th, 2009I only post this to prove that a) people are still actually going to Nats games and b) these “101 dalNATionS” shirts actually exist.
Our thanks to Bennie T. for the photo from last night’s game, which was the Nats 101st loss of the season.
Update: Loss 102 is in the books. Tell me this is rock [...]
