Friday, May 17th, 2013I’m not going to conduct a poll about it, and I’m not going to target-question American Indians, but I will venture to say some Washington football fans are uncomfortable with the team’s name. I know because I’m one of them.

Spotted: Redskins Crotch Rocket
Thursday, May 16th, 2013This showed up in my Facebook feed the other day thanks to the DIE HARD REDSKINS FAMILY group, which I guess I’m a member of. Without knowing anything about sports bikes, I asked our brother Beef, who used to own one, what we’re looking at here. His reply:

Tuesday, May 14th, 2013With the wound from Caps-Rangers Game 7 still gaping like a Braden Holtby-protected net, let’s chronicle the repeated failures of D.C.’s pro sports teams over the past seven or eight months. A few notes before doing so:

Blame Mel Kiper For Some Of Those Bad Redskins Draft Picks
Friday, May 10th, 2013During the barrage of NFL Draft content recently, Deadspin posted a couple of infographics with the totally non-confrontational headline You’re Better Off Guessing Than Listening To Mel Kiper.

Keep Digging That Hole, Redskins
Friday, May 3rd, 2013A brief response to the latest dumb shit the Redskins have posted on their official site about their team name.
Good news, Redskins fans
The team has finally realized its nickname is horribly offensive and racist?
A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows that nationally, 79 percent of Americans approve of the Washington Redskins name.

The Composite Redskins 2013 Draft Grade Is Not That Great
Monday, April 29th, 2013On Day 2 the Redskins selected David Amerson and Jordan Reed. On Day 3 they took five more guys. And on Day 4 everyone judged them for it. Of seven major sports sites that handed out NFL Draft report cards, the Skins pulled in about a 2.4 GPA, or a high C average. Not great, [...]

Maybe Skins Fans Actually Care About This Draft (INFOGRAPHIC)
Thursday, April 25th, 2013Earlier I wrote, “This draft has no buzz for Redskins fans.” It appears I was wrong. In response to that post @olsonchr put together this fancy data visualization:
