Interpreting the Silence
Few would have bet that five days into free agency, the Washington Redskins would have signed just one player—a journeyman offensive guard.
No, if you had been forced to bet your own money, you would have bet that by sun-up on Day One, the Redskins would have landed a player like DE Julius Peppers, LB Karlos Dansby or LT Chad Clifton. Maybe more than one.
And yet here we are.
As Day Six of the 2010 free agency period slides uneventfully by, the lead story in the Washington Redskins universe continues to be their silence. With the exception of signing unsexy OG Artis Hicks (nothing personal big man) to an average contract (3 years, $9 million), the Redskins have kept their hands firmly buried in deep pockets, watching other teams earn the headlines.
Predictably, the reaction among Redskins fans and media has covered the spectrum ...

Business Time
“Ahh yeah, that's right baby
Girl, tonight we're gonna make love
You know how I know baby?
Cuz its Wednesday, and Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Tuesday night is the night that we go and visit your mother, but
Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Cuz everything is just right, conditions are perfect.
There's nothing good on TV, conditions are perfect.
You lean in close and say something sexy like " I might go to bed I've
got work in the morning." I know what you're trying to say baby.
You're tryin to say "Ooh yeah, it's business time, it's business time.”
Who knew? As kids growing up tossing around the old pigskin (you know, that well-worn Wilson with the lump on one end where the bladder was trying to bust through the seams), we pretended to be our idols. We admired their skills, their courage, their grit, and their moxie. They could do things ordinary humans couldn’t...

OK, I figured since it is the off-season and there is not much more than speculation going around, I would create a thread for amusing personal Redskins' stories. I have already shared one of my absolute favorites with my anecdote in the Introductions...

The man for whom the Superbowl trophy is named and a former Redskin head coach like your Dad expressed his football philosophy (maybe his life's philosophy) in the speech paraphrased below. My Dad took me to hear him speak when I was a youngster and I...

Ever watch those History Channel programs on the last hours in the bunker in Berlin during WWII?
Sadly the same bunker mentality has hit the Redskins since the shock of pending changes went from rumored to real.
Zorn in a nod to insanity continues...

The Lama Weighs In
February 22, 2010
We found someone on the planet who does not know who Tiger Woods is. Does not know what Tiger Woods does. Does not know what Tiger Woods did. And did not care that Tiger Woods spoke.
How ironic that our world would stop to learn only one item about Tiger Woods, he's Buddhist. And the leader of the religion has no idea about his birdies or Birdies. In what was described as a "brief interview," the Dalai Lama was asked what he thought of Tiger Woods mea culpa and the Dalai Lama's response was: "Who is Tiger Woods?" ...

Analysis of Shanahan's Draft Tendencies in Denver
The Redskins faithful enter this 2010 offseason with more questions than answers. How will the player's react to all these new coaches? Will we able able to transition to the 3-4 effectively? Is Chris Samuels going to retire? What will be the fate of Jason Campbell? How will we approach free agency with the possibility of an uncapped year looming? Has Clinton's time run out in D.C.?
Perhaps the most compelling question, if not the most important, is what will new head coach Mike Shanahan do on draft day?...

The FedEx Field Conundrum: To Renew or To Not Renew Season Tickets?
(Ed. Note: I will be renewing my season tickets, but I thought I would share my thought process on the decision. Trust me, it's not an easy one. Season tickets aren't cheap but it's also not easy giving up on something that I've always wanted to be a part of/have since I was a kid. This post is not encouraging other season ticket holders to renew or give up their season tickets, just my thoughts on the process. Maybe you have had similar thoughts/opinions as well. -WD)
A few weeks ago I received a package from the Redskins discussing rumors that have been talked about by the fans/bloggers/message board folk (for the last few years) about a new HD jumbotron and some other upgrades made at the stadium and in the ticket office. There was also a note from Bruce Allen/Mike Shanahan telling fans about the upcoming season and hoping that "you, the fan" will be there to support the team on their way to hopeful victory. Thus, I starting seriously thinking about whether I should renew or just stay home and watch the games on TV..

It's The Line, Stupid
The QB stat line for the game read 22 of 35 for 198 with no Touchdowns, one INT, three Fumbles (two lost) and six Sacks.
If I showed you that line in a vacuum, where you didn’t already have a clue where I got it from, my guess is you, as a Redskin fan, would have no problem believing that it belonged to Jason Campbell. We have sure seen his stat line look like that often enough.
In this case it belongs to Tony Romo...

» Redskins Flashback |
|
12 December, 1937 In front of 15,000 fans on a frozen Wrigley Field, the Redskins, in their first season in DC and led by Slingin' Sammy Baugh captured their first ever NFL Championship Title. Down by a TD in the 3rd quarter, Baugh exploded with 352 passing yards and 3 TDs, 2 of them to Wayne Milner. Cliff Battles added a rushing score. Following the win, there was no parade or trip to Disney World, the players instead heading directly home.
