Dear Redskins fans,
We’re not that different you and I. We’re football fans, we’re rivals, we both want to win the Super Bowl. We’re basically neighbors who don’t like each other. For the past 10 years, you’ve been looking at the car that’s been parked in my driveway, a high performance shiny model, getting up there [...]
It’s been 60+ hours since word came that Sean Taylor had passed. When I first heard of the shooting, I did not think of death as the eventual outcome. When news trickled out about the severity of the injury, I was surprised. Soon, Sean Taylor was lost.
Last week the Washington Redskins faced off against the NFC leading Cowboys. The Redskins lost. This was not a surprise. The Cowboys were clear favorites. Terrell Owens scored four touchdowns. The Redskins were missing Sean Taylor. This was a game the Redskins were supposed to lose. Something surprising happened last Sunday afternoon though. [...]
Dan Snyder has opened his checkbook and spent liberally on both coaches and players this off-season. But will it work?
The Washington Redskins were essentially left for dead in 2005, predicted to finish in 3rd or even last place (that was assuming the Eagles would be good. Wrong.)

It may not have been pretty, but by winning Saturday’s rematch with Tampa Bay, the Washington Redskins extended their win-streak to six games and punched their ticket for another Saturday showdown, this time in Seattle with the best team in the conference.
Their still, their still the same old Redskins from the block. Things were looking bright this year, a change from seasons past. A new and improved offense along with Greg Williams dominant defense looked like the formula for an NFC East Championship. However, the Redskins entered New York on Sunday and showed who they really [...]
George Allen called him the best safety to ever play the game. He calls himself the “reluctant” player who was not highly recruited by colleges after graduating high school and who was a member of the “others”, a group of back up players who didn’t often get on the field.
Football fans remember Dale Hackbart as a defensive back who played for the Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Cardinals, and Denver Broncos from 1960 through 1973. However, things could have been extremely different. He could have been known today as a prominent major league baseball player. Hackbart spent a season [...]
He wore number 88 and he played wide receiver and tight end and also punted for the Washington Redskins from 1963 through 1970. However, Pat Richter could have very easily ended up playing baseball for the Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Braves, Baltimore Orioles or Houston Colt 45s.
