    John Riggins 1972 Topps

    Wednesday, December 12th, 2012

    This list of the worst football cards ever tickled me so I thought I’d share.

    Old Redskins Punter Jeff Hayes Has An Awesome Wikipedia Page

    Monday, April 2nd, 2012

    Prompted by our post about Vince Coleman’s visit to Redskins minicamp, Williams World News unearthed the Wikipedia page of ex-Skins P Jeff Hayes, and it’s a doozy.
    Rather than list all of the craziness contained therein, let’s just excerpt the Wikipedia entry in full:
    James Franklyn “Clyde” Hayes (born January 23, 1950 in Kuaua Lumpur, Indonesia) [...]

    1987 Topps Vince Coleman: Vince Coleman Was Almost A Redskin

    Thursday, March 29th, 2012

    I was looking through old baseball cards recently, because that is something I like to do, and stumbled up on this American beauty:

    Curious about exactly how many hundreds of stolen bases Vince Coleman had in 1986, I flipped it over only to discover “Vince attended NFL Redskins’ [sic] mini-camp in 1982″:

    Julius Erving 1972-73 Topps

    Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

    The indispensable @si_vault is celebrating Dr. J’s 62nd birthday, so we will too, in our way. Here he is with the Virginia Squires, for which he dominated the ABA when he was 21 and 22 years old.

    1995-96 Upper Deck Scott Skiles

    Monday, February 6th, 2012

    You guys (okay, one of you guys) asked for more Cardboard Icons, so here’s one, from FACTORYSET (via @BulletsForever):

    There’s a lot going on with this card: 1) The hairline. 2) The uniform. 3) The warmup jacket getting ripped off. 4) The ballboy bro’s Warriors hat. 5) The subtle, Kokopelli-looking “Electric Court” logo, whatever that is. [...]

    Cal Ripken’s Zack Morris Phone

    Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

    Nineteen ninety-four, a weird year for baseball cards and mobile phones (via Jim Caple and O’s Card of the Day).

    Old Redskins Safety Todd Bowles Is The New Dolphins Head Coach

    Thursday, December 15th, 2011

    There hasn’t been much coverage of this in the D.C. market, but it’s worth mentioning that Todd Bowles is interim coach of the Dolphins. It doesn’t sound like Bowles is long for the job, though, so enjoy it while it lasts.
    Bowles was a starter on the Super Bowl XXII Redskins and played safety for them [...]

    Want: The Ovechkin Football Card

    Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

    Just like the Kevin Durant football card (and the Nolan Ryan football card before that!), I want the shit out of this new Upper Deck Ovie* joint.
    * I’ve finally decided it’s Ovie (not Ovi). Not sure why that took so long.
