  1. The Bombshell

    Personally, I think you're being very clear. You don't think this story rises to the level of "apocalyptic 'biblical' news" that some people on social media promised, and that it is just "simple harassment" and "inappropriate behavior" that doesn't warrant this level of attention. Therefore...

  2. The Bombshell

    Why not do both?

  3. The Bombshell

    Very powerful. I only wish I had a sliver of the courage she has, and that of all the people who spoke out and made this story possible. This is bigger than one sports franchise, this is about ending the harassment and abuse of all people by people who feel entitled to act with impunity.

  4. The Bombshell

    I love this post from D.J. Swearinger. While it doesn't directly relate to the allegations of sexual harassment and abuse, it does speak to the ubiquitous culture of toxic masculinity (hey a cliche and redundancy at the same time) that exists in Ashburn.

  5. The Bombshell

    I don't mean to dignify this digression, because it's the result of several posters trying to muddy the waters and detract from the real story without disputing the facts by claiming the source of the story is disreputable, corrupt, and even worse, liberal. And this isn't directed at you Boone...

  6. The Bombshell

    Yes, absolutely. 1000 %. Not only are they sexualized and objectified, but the concept of cheerleaders in professional sports is just . . . silly to me. I do think professional cheerleading squads do provide some level of community service and engagement, which are indeed important...

  7. The Bombshell

    I'm somewhat heartened to see the responses here about this topic. (With the exception of Sarge, of course, who has not appeared to grow or evolve in any way since at least 2006, when I first joined ES, a site from which he was rightfully banned). 1. This article is damning but not sadly...

  8. Random Commanders Thoughts

    Might not be the worst or most embarrassing, but could arguably be the most sensitive, if judging by message board posts and blog comments.

  9. This is not a Joke

    I wouldn't call him a loser--he clearly has a substance abuse problem and needs help. It is a shame, though. I was really looking forward to seeing him play in the 4th quarters of the preseason games.

  10. 2014 Coaching Search Rumors

    Uh, that's called optimism and positivity, Henry. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you? God, you negative "fans" make me so ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED! You just will never be happy like us optimists!

  11. Game Preview: Redskins vs. Eagles

    I have a bad feeling about this one. I just don't see the Eagles dropping five in a row. The Redskins have a great opportunity to set themselves apart, but recent history tells me they won't be able to sieze it. I know that this is a different team, but the pessimist in me is kicking the...

  12. Is He Hightower?

    I love the attitude. It's been refreshing to know that this team totally believes in what they can accomplish and isn't afraid to say it. Let everyone else laugh, just go out and handle business. As they say on skinscast, "Why not the Redskins?!"

  13. OF: Synaptic Shotgun: 3-1 Washington Redskins

    "and head coach Mike Shanahan's forehead vein is going to explode." Love this line. If there was an abbreviation for the term "laugh out loud," I would write it here. Maybe someone smarter than me will come up with something one day. At any rate, I always enjoy getting my Om fix. PS. I...

  14. I love you Chris Cooley...

    Chris Cooley is a straight pimp. He totally fits Joe Gibbs' definition of a true Redskin. Hope he gets a ring or two (or more!) and retires in the Burgundy and Gold. And Skip Bayless? I love his cooking show on PBS.

  15. Picking Grossman sends the right message

    Considering that Beck only played against one team with a "motivated offense," you cannot argue that Beck played even with Grossman. Beck looked good against the Colts and against the Raven's second string team. He did not play well in the final preseason game. Grossman, however looked good...

  16. Picking Grossman sends the right message

    Grossman clearly outplayed Beck. He won the starting job in the two minute drive at the end of the second half against the Ravens. He was accurate as all hell and threw two touchdown passes that drive (one was just really well defended.). What impressed me the most was his ability to rebound...

  17. Not to be negative but...

    I want to stay healthy first and foremost. After that, I want to be competitive. As far as Atogwe is concerned, Shanahan is known for taking a "better safe than sorry" approach with veterans. I don't think he'd risk Atogwe's health if he didn't think the guy was healthy.

  18. so here's what I'd like to see this week

    Sports journalism? I've read about it in history books but I didn't think it actually still existed.

  19. WP: The Fix is In - Beck Is The Starting QB

    All this talk about Beck and Grossman is just a smoke-screen for the guy the Shannys really want: Ben Chappell. Personally, I think he is going to take us all the way.

  20. PFT: Rex Grossman says Redskins will win the NFC East

    I don't want any players on this team that aren't thinking Super Bowl. That being said, I did release a hearty guffaw when I heard him say that. But I'm allowed that. I'm a fan. Everyone else can pound sand.
