« Previous EntriesAnd Now Orakpo’s Done For 2012
Monday, September 17th, 2012Yesterday’s nightmare is now even worse than previously thought, because Brian Orakpo is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Meaning, the last time he took the field in 2012 was when he was seen without pads, yelling at Josh Morgan from the sideline for being such a dumbass. The image lingers.

RGIII, Orakpo Are Super Valuable
Tuesday, September 4th, 2012Our old friend Bill Barnwell (he wrote a thing for us once!) debuted Grantland’s first-ever NFL Trade Value Rankings column, and two Redskins made the top 50. I suppose that’s kind of average, and the Skins certainly paid the price for RGIII, but as a Redskins fan I’m not used to having what others want. [...]
Redskins-Bears Winners & Losers
Saturday, August 18th, 2012This is a pretty lackluster effort, so feel free to share your own.
Winners
Kirk Cousins– Put some numbers on the board in the second half. Bears broadcaster Jim Miller even mentioned something about a QB controversy, but I assume he was drunk. Whatever, trade value!
Aldrick Robinson — Nice showing for the second-year receiver.
Dezmon Briscoe – Hey, [...]

Redskins Reveal Florida State-y, Leatherheaded 80th Anniversary Uniforms (PHOTOS)
Thursday, May 10th, 2012The Redskins’ new alternate uniforms are throwbacks to the Sammy Baugh era, and the Skins plan to wear them twice during this, their 80th season. Some will say these are totally badass, while others will be reminded of Seminoles football, or maybe that awful movie with George Clooney and Jim from The Office. I will [...]
Brian Orakpo Is Just Kinda Okay
Friday, November 18th, 2011You wouldn’t think that people who actually follow the Redskins would overrate anything Redskins-related, but I think that may be the case with Brian Orakpo, which is understandable.
He was a first-round pick, he has 26 sacks in his first 2.5 seasons and he’s co-starring in a national ad campaign with that zany caveman. But is [...]
Brian Orakpo, SI.com Cover Boy
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011What a hit that was. The Skins are No. 14 in Banks’ power rankings, btw.

Brian Orakpo Isn’t Fond of Your List
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011I don’t know what top-10 list he’s talking about, but Orakpo tweeted this:
Update: He was referring to some ESPN list, so, you know, “FUCK THEM.”
Update No. 2: Steinz has a stat-y breakdown of ESPN’s wanton snubbery.
Video: Brian Orakpo’s Baby Bro Can Hit
Saturday, October 23rd, 2010I know we’re not supposed to be celebrating violence on the football field, but this was my introduction to Brian Orakpo’s little brother:
Meet Mike Orakpo, freshman linebacker at Colorado State. That was his decapitating hit in last week’s CSU game against UNLV. According to the AP, he’s three inches shorter and almost 50 pounds lighter [...]
Brian Orakpo Is a Motherflippin’ Monster
Friday, October 8th, 2010This was linked in today’s DMV but I want to call it out here as well: Rick Maese’s piece on Brian Orakpo’s season beyond the sacks:
Orakpo has drawn five holding penalties in the first four games of the season. [...]
Orakpo has 17 quarterback hurries this season, 11 more than any other teammate, according to a [...]
