Hogs in the Hall of Fame: My trip to Canton - Riggo's Rag - Riggo's Rag - A Washington Redskins Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

]]> Last weekend I was very blessed to have been within the city limits of Canton, Ohio. And every football fan knows that you cannot enter Canton, Ohio without visiting the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This was my first visit to this prestigious museum and I can say that I was very impressed with the displays of football history. Unfortunately this was not a planned trip so I was not prepared with sufficient Redskins apparel, however, I was laced in the next best apparel possible! There was so much Redskins history enshrined in the Hall of Fame that I felt like I was in Hog Heaven. I am going to share a few points of major interest in this post, the rest can be seen when you go like my Facebook page.

 

Me with the Lombardi trophy that the Redskins had the pleasure of hoisting 3 times!

Slingin Sammy Baugh…Mr Do it all himself is the first statue you see when you enter the Hall. This life size memorial station is nice!

Mr. Consistent #81 Art Monk

Sonny Jurgensen and Charley Taylor, possibly the best QB/WR combo of all time!

No respect for Tony Dorsett or the Cowboys!! #HTTR

The man that ran Tony Dorsett down like he was standing still, Darrell Green! Fastest man ever!

The Hogettes… Redskins have the best fans in the world!!

I would love to post every picture taken during my time in Canton, however, it would take entirely too long. To see the rest of the amazing photos of our most prestigious Redskins history, like my Facebook page and click away! I highly recommend that everyone add the Pro Football Hall of Fame to their bucket list, to do list, vacation list, shopping list (The Hall of Fame store has some really good merchandise) I hope that sharing my experience with you has convinced all of Redskins Nation to venture out and witness football greatness at its best.

]]> Now that the first hours of this year’s free agency period are over, there is time to reflect. This post, however, is not about the three receivers the Redskins have signed or the resigning of Adam Carriker or any of that stuff. This post is about the future. Several popular blogs and twitter accounts across the net have been displaying artwork of the former Baylor quarterback and Heisman winner in burgundy and gold. We at Riggo’s Rag have decided to compile a post (complete with full credit). Here are the best of the web thus far. If you see your artwork and it is not properly credited, please contact us at RiggosRagEditor@gmail.com. You can also make submissions here too. Enjoy!

Our first is a play on Barack Obama’s “Hope” campaign during 2008. This image is courtesy of KissingSuzieKolber.com

 Our second work of art is courtesy of our friends at TheHogs.net. This will likely be a reality come April.

 Our next find was the possible endgame of a move to the second spot. Very good job here by HomelessZombie.com.

 Next up we have Mitch Miller at SonofWashington.com with Griffin in #10 and MixMakers.net with Griffin in #11.

And now, the latest submission into the ring of RGIII photoshop/illustrator creations. This one done by Riggo’s Rag’s very own Kevin Mawyer II (@KMawyer2 on twitter). Robert Griffin III and Mike Shanahan bring the Redskins back to the glory on April 26th.

Again, the internet is an imperfect place. If your artwork has been misrepresented or not represented at all, drop us a line at RiggosRagEditor@gmail.com. Include the image and it’s proper attribution and we’ll edit or put up your work. Enjoy Redskins fans!

UPDATE – We’ve had our first submission via the Riggo’s Rag inbox! Here is some artwork done by Chris Worthy (@Chris_Worthy on twitter), entitled “RG3 aka SupaSkin”.
