Update: Chris Cooley’s new hair gives at least one reason to smile:
DMV: Skins’ Play-Calling Telephone Game
Monday, October 26th, 2009A detailed look at the Skins play-calling process: 1) Sherm Lewis calls plays from the booth. 2) Sherm Smith relays plays from the sideline. 3) Jason Campbell receives plays on the field. 4) Jim Zorn resists the “temptation of overriding when necessary.” He actually said that, this is actually happening and it actually debuts against [...]
Chris Samuels Is Retiring (Update: Or Not)
Friday, October 23rd, 2009The awful news that we’d heard rumors about this week is apparently coming true: Chris Samuels will retire. More from Jason Reid:
Samuels has decided to retire because of a severe neck injury he suffered about two weeks ago, league sources said. Samuels, who earlier this week traveled to California to consult with a [...]
Jim Zorn, Still Your Head Coach For the Rest of This Season
Friday, October 23rd, 2009Vinny Cerrato just said as much on his radio show:
“Jim Zorn is the head coach for the rest of the season and hopefully into the future.”
Two quick things to note about this one little sentence:
1) As I said over at my other home, even Cerrato isn’t inept enough to publicly waiver on his support of [...]
Steve Largent Backs Zorn, Slams Snyder
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009Well, this is fun. Hall of Famer and former Jim Zorn wing man Steve Largent has some things to say about the Skins, and they are not good things.
I would just include them all here, but they are so rich. So head over to Shutdown Corner for the extended quotes, which basically state that a) [...]
Albert Haynesworth Is Underachieving, According to ESPN’s NFC East Blog
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009I’ve heard of Matt Mosley, but admittedly, I know nothing about the guy other than the fact that he writes the NFC East blog for ESPN.com. Oh, and hey, according to his bio he was an “award-winning writer for The Dallas Morning News.” Cool. He must be a big Skins nut then.
Today, Mosley wrote a [...]
DMV: The Nats Are Dating Don Mattingly
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009The Nats have asked the Dodgers for permission to interview Donnie Baseball for their managerial position after the playoffs, which I support because a) he’d be their biggest draw b) he’s Joe Torre’s wing man and c) it allows me to post awesome shit from the ’80s.

A Couple Shiny Happy Redskins T-Shirts
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009With the proliferation of anti-Redskins fashion (see: our T-shop, see also: Trade Snyder and F#ck Snyder), it’s high time to share some pro-Redskins cotton. First, from twoeightnine design, Hay Hay Hay, It’s Fat Albert.
The problem is I’m not sure who’s going to wear, let alone buy, an Albert Haynesworth t-shirt. On the other hand, I [...]

Jason Campbell, Still Your Starting QB
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009Jason Campbell has been granted the unfortunate opportunity to start behind the Redskins patchwork offensive line on national TV this Monday night, according to our old soul bro Jason La Canfora at NFL.com.
On Sunday, I agreed with the decision to bench Campbell in favor to Todd Collins. Jamie and I had a back-and-forth Blackberry war [...]
