Sneak Peek: The Dexter Manley TV Show
Thursday, September 9th, 2010This first look at Dexter Manley’s new TV show (via @DextersRushHour) doesn’t disappoint. A sampling of Dexter’s so-called “strategy” for Sunday night’s Redskins-Cowboys game:
– “They can knock those Cowgirls off the line of scrimmage.”
– “Mr. [Brandon] Banks, we need you to run at least two punt returns back.”
– “You watch [LaRon Landry], he takes a [...]
It’s Art Monk Football Camp in Zubaz!
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Because Redskins artifacts dated 1982-92 bring me great joy, we’ve already posted the Art Monk Football Camp hat in mesh, but this Zubaz version takes it to a new level entire:
Beautiful, and it comes via Bog Man Dan, who spied it at Sunday’s tailgate and emails in lowercase shorthand:
25 year old eben altmann from rockville, [...]
The Fifth-Greatest Redskins Hat Ever, As Worn By the Coolest Mr. Irrelevant Reader
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008We’re not necessarily ranking the awesomeness of these Redskins hats anymore so much as we are continuing a series. If you’d like to add to the fun, please send along the great Skins hat(s) of your own.
This one comes from a fellow going by the name of CamLwalk, who says, “Check out this bad boy. [...]
The 3rd and 4th Greatest Skins Hats Ever
Thursday, August 28th, 2008On the heels of the Hogs hat and Art Monk Football Camp comes a beauty, this mesh joint recalling my favorite game of all-time (via David Chalk):
And here’s yet another in mesh, this one sitting on fur and harking back to the first game I can remember (via The Mayor):
If you have something at home that [...]
It’s the 2nd Greatest Skins Hat of All-Time
Friday, August 22nd, 2008The Hogs hat is still supreme, but Art Monk Football Camp isn’t far behind.

It’s the Greatest Redskins Hat of All-Time
Thursday, August 21st, 2008Considering there’s already a Burgundy & Gold Zubaz Super Bowl XXVI hat in our family, that headline is saying a lot, but this clearly takes the cake:
That right there is a Hogs mesh hat, purchased by my mother in-law from a street vendor outside RFK Stadium circa 1985. Hogs. Mesh. RFK. 1985.
Try not to get [...]
Lost Treasure Found: The Posse Poster
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Many thanks to The Player Hater’s Ball for posting the lost, “locally famous” Posse poster. I’d forgotten all about the Cowboys on the side. Bamas.

Lost Treasure Found: Chip Lohmiller And Pete Stoyanovich’s 1993 McDonald’s Ad
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008This “split the uprights” commercial for Mickey D’s is a continuation of Michael Jordan and Larry Bird’s crazy game of H-O-R-S-E, and MJ even makes a cameo here. I remember thinking it was awesome, and not strange at all that two kickers were center stage for a national commercial. Of course, I also don’t remember [...]
Lost Treasure Found: Monk, Clark & Green’s 1991 Pizza Hut Commercial
Monday, February 18th, 2008This is a special piece of vintage, local advertising from my favorite time as a Redskins fan starring three of my all-time favorite Redskins. Art Monk is reliable as usual, Darrell Green is affable as ever and Gary Clark steals the show. But where the hell was Ricky Sanders?
(Traffic-cone shots of Crown Royal to The [...]
Lost Treasure Found: Jacoby and May’s 1984 Theater Vision TV Commercial
Friday, November 2nd, 2007There’s no telling why I’m obsessed with 1980’s Redskins this week, though it may have something to do with this year’s model losing by 45 on Sunday. Either way, third in the series that began with Darrell Green’s immortality and was continued by Dexter Manley’s infinite sadness is this long lost ad starring Hogs-turned-broadcasters Joe [...]
