Interview with Chief Zee

Chief Zee is one of the greatest Skins’ fans ever and this is a great interview of him. At the 1:07 mark, Zee starts talking about our boy, John Riggins. Listen as Zee says “Crank up the Diesel, Crank up the Diesel. On, On, Crank up the Diesel.” Listen to all the other great stories [...]

Nervous Nellies at the Post

The glass is half-empty over at the Post lately.  Jason La Canfora’s article in the Post today essentially says the same thing an article from Redskins.com said a few days ago. That is that Jason Campbell will play on Thursday if he’s healthy.  But these were the headlines:
Post- Campbell Says He’s Willing, but Is His [...]

Put Him in the Briggs

Isn’t it convenient that just when the Mike Vick saga is over that Lance Briggs is providing us with some new tabloid quality highlights.
Let’s see, Lance, you were driving your $350K sports car at 3:15 AM in the middle of your practice week and had a wreck.  You decided not to report it and instead [...]

And Some Bad News For Some

The Redskins announced the first round of cuts on the way to cutting down to 75. The Casualties were:

Jerametrius Butler, CB
Jamaal Green, DE
Kevin Jones, LB
Jerel Myers, WR
Todd Pinkston, WR
Bryant Shaw, DE

Most of these weren’t surprises, especially Pinkston who we have seen suck twice a year in Philly for years.  Of course, most people would sheepishly [...]

More Good News

Redskins.com put up some very good news earlier today. Clinton Portis is healthy enough to up his work load and will be considered day to day for Thursday’s exhibition game against Jacksonville.
And if that isn’t good enough, Marcus Washington had the sling taken off his dislocated elbow today. He is going to practice, and will be [...]

The Post Apologizes to Pucillo…Sorta

I don’t really have much to say about this article in the Post about Mike Puccilo except that I think this has to be some sort of tacit apology for ripping Pucillo and Heyer last week after the Steelers game.
Last week I quoted Coach Gibbs and Coach Bugel laying into the Post for comments about the [...]

Whew! We Made it!

To be honest, I didn’t see the game on Saturday.  Between the weather delays and family obligations I just didn’t fit it in.  But even if I had seen it my response would have been the same– Woohoo! We made it through the game without a significant injury, we put a pass longer than 10 [...]

One Last Word on Vick

Now that both the plea agreement and the NFL suspension has come down, it seems time to take a minute and look at the aftermath.  Yes, Vick still has some jail time to deal with, but for us fans it is essentially over. For Vick, it is just beginning, but like every other scandal we’ll [...]

Campbell Conversation and Game Night

Not a lot going on news-wise since we’re playing the Ravens tonight.  But there is a good chat on Extreme Skins with Jason Campbell. The questions were pretty mundane but Campbell answered them with some flair.
Can I make one request of folks on these chats from now on?  Can we please stop asking the charcoal [...]

Beasely and a Clarification

In what is likely the least important roster move to ever be announced by any team at any time, the Redskins announced that they signed veteran fullback Fred Beasley. Yawn. The only people interested in this are probably Beasley’s wife and kids who have to move across the country and Pete Schmitt who is likely [...]
