In many ways, Riggo is acting like some sort of senator or ambassador for the aggrieved Redskins fans. He’s the NFL’s Alan Grayson.

Was actually unable to replicate emotion while doing so, of course.

Steve Coll was right: Dan Snyder is our own little third world dictator holding our team hostage.

The owner, Daniel Snyder, is widely reviled in Washington, and for good reason. He meddles, bullies, and trusts his own football judgment too much. John Kent Cooke, who ran the team before Snyder purchased it about a decade ago, remarked recently that Snyder had “destroyed the franchise.” Fans did not generally receive this comment as [...]

The Redskins Cheerleaders are the only thing not underperforming for the Redskins this season
Abandon all hope, Redskins fans.
Washington Redskins executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato said on his radio show Friday morning that Jim Zorn will remain the head coach of the team for the remainder of the season.
“Let me start by making [...]

So, in their brilliance, Snyder and Cerrato have now stripped play-calling duties from Jim Zorn.
SURELY THAT WILL SOLVE IT.
Look, FIRE THE GUY. And SELL THE TEAM.
The Redskins are a joke in the NFL and games like this DON’T HELP.

I don’t know what everyone is complaining about. That was a great game by the Redskins. They beat the Cleveland Browns 42-17! Mark Rypien looked great, passing for 190 yards and Ricky Ervins punched in 2 TDs.
I smell Super Bowl.
(What’s that you say? I’m living in the past? I’m talking about the 1991 Redskins and [...]

Amen, brother.

Oh they looked sloppy as hell and Jim Zorn should still be fired and Jason Campbell should be benched after those 4 picks he threw, but hey – the Redskins won!
Maybe one day they could score 20 points. And maybe they could beat someone by 10 or more. SOMEDAY.
ALSO: NFL Redzone was pretty neat. Not [...]

So sad.
For a decade now, Daniel Snyder has made an utter mess of the team, and yet he seldom, if ever, takes responsibility for it. He operates from behind a phalanx of security, proxies and media managers, routinely declining to comment and be accountable. He wants all the fun when they win and none of [...]

In an ideal world, the owner of the Redskins, Dan Snyder, would be fired. That can’t happen, but the next best thing would be for coach Jim Zorn to get the axe.
Zorn was the accidental head coach last year, and it has become apparent why. The Redskins playcalling has been horrendous, with trick plays called [...]

Giants beat Cowboys 33-31 on last-second FG
Lawrence Tynes sent home the largest regular-season crowd in NFL history muttering about what might’ve been.
Tynes kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired, giving the New York Giants a 33-31 victory over the turnover-prone Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night and ruining the debut of their rival’s $1.15 billion [...]

Making the rounds right now in DC sports is the fact that the crowd at the Redskins game – including myself – booed the team despite the win.
They deserved it.
The Redskins were playing one of the worst teams in the league and yet couldn’t muster a single touchdown, while also giving the Rams the [...]
