  1. Show Yourselves!

    I'm all hopped up on nostalgia, so here's one more and I'll call it a day. My days as a steely-eyed, cool as cucumber bronc, uh, sitter on the junior circuit. You can almost hear a modified Wall of Voodoo track playing..."I'm on the little kid rodeo, I'm on the little kid, whoa-oh...

  2. Show Yourselves!

    Howdy gang. These were put up on ES years ago, ran across them in cyberspace and figured I'd show my brothers here a peek at my halcyon days. That is the Dude about four decades ago. I like to think I did the colors proud as a TE/DE grommet. Surely wish I still had that uniform and...

  3. Redskins Announce 2019 Schedule

    For a good while now, if memory serves, a majority of our big lights games have come in the front half of seasons. The league does hedge its bets on mystery teams, after all. Get em on early, before the wheels come off and nobody but their most rabid hardcore fans cares. Seems like that...

  4. Random Commanders Thoughts

    Excellent stuff brother. I too did not know about Marty's teaching side. I had him pegged as a player turned coach who ran a tight ship and knew how to win...at least in the regular season. A disciplinarian but also kind of a players' coach, if such a thing is possible. The fundamentals he...

  5. Joint Statement From Bruce Allen/Reuben Foster

    Disagree. He's a liability in coverage and while he has shown flashes of superior scrape and run fit, he's a hothead who lets his emotions get the better of him, a la Vontaze Burfict. I think, though I would love to be proven wrong, that time will show he is as much a detriment as he can...

  6. Random NFL Thoughts

    So one of the greatest names in sports, one Russell Wilson, is now the highest paid player in the history of the league. For a couple weeks anyway...(sigh) Way back when, while most of the B&G faithful got all hot and bothered over RG3, I clamored for Mr. Wilson - thereby definitively...

  7. What's Your NIGHTMARE Draft Scenario?

    Well... I dunno from draft nightmares, but reading my brothers cogent posts just now has likely given me one hell of a bad trip soon as i shut it down tonight. Err, thanks B. I think - /q

  8. Wearing #21

    I hate to break this to ya brother, but I'm fairly certain not too many guys on our roster can hit, from the look of things. At least not the way they should...

  9. Wearing #21

    No disrespect to Sean, who was one of a kind, but let I say let the guy wear whatever digits he wants as long as he helps us rack up W's.

  10. QB Battle: Daniel Jones (Duke) vs. Brett Rypien (Boise State)

    If I remember correctly it wasn't half as much the wolves as the ole ball coach's "chuck and duck" min protect passing game. That kid never stood a chance. I bet he still has nightmares; heck, that scene from Wedding Crashers where Vaughn keeps hollering "hot route" at Wilson probably made...

  11. Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions, 2019

    Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions, Nice roundup brother. Do you really think Ryp's nephew is that accomplished? I see a lot of parallels with Kellen Moore re: the lower comp level translating to the NFL, but would absolutely love to see the...

  12. Random NFL Thoughts

    So how many of you think that the Pats rely heavily on the ole "hooker and ladder" play offensively next season?:yes:

  13. Random Thoughts

    Thanks brother. Didn't mean to appear flippant with my response. I appreciate the intel.

  14. Random Thoughts

    Ohmigosh. Let's pretend, just for a sec, that your questioner is, uh, a drywall carpenter whose knuckles drag the ground when he walks. In other words, not the sharpest cat on the block. I would love to give you more details if I understood even one of the questions you just posed...

  15. Random Commanders Thoughts

    I can't disagree. I miss the ferocity, the collisions, the take your head off hits that caused me to fall in love with the whole thing in the first place. But when was it NOT an entertainment vehicle serving monied interests? It was and is a business, after all. And businesses exist to...

  16. Random Commanders Thoughts

    All valid points brother. But several years ago many said the same thing about MLB. These days it seems to be doing better than ever. Jus' sayin.

  17. Random Thoughts

    Question for the more computer literate of the gang: when I'm using WiFi to download something, regardless of the bandwidth, the rate always seems to rise, then dip, then sometimes cut out altogether before starting up again. Why, pray tell, is that? Thanks in advance for the replies...

  18. Random Commanders Thoughts

    I'm not so sure gents. About a hundred years ago I read a book called "The Death of An (The?) American Game" by John Underwood, no less an authority on the NFL than the reviled Dr. Z. In it he posited that the trend of bigger, faster, and stronger players would eventually overwhelm the...

  19. Week one starting Qb for the redskins. Pick it.

    Meh, I think height is an overrated attribute IF a guy has multiple arm slots he can throw out of. Different era, but Fran the Man wasn't all that vertical and he sure got it done. Cat quick for his time. Kinda like Murray.

  20. Random Commanders Thoughts

    I would amend that slightly. IMO the Lambs abandoned their ground game way too early. I heard something on talk radio this morning that said they passed on @70% of their offensive snaps. Mind you, this is a team that made their bones all season on the run and play action set up from that...
