Redskins: Five things for fans to do while the sports world collapses

No. 2 – Reminisce with Redskins history!

There usually isn’t enough time to do this until after the NFL Draft, but with March Madness and the NBA and the NHL and just about every sports event cancelled until further notice, there’s not a lot to occupy one’s time on television. Thus, taking a trip down memory lane is a good, healthy alternative.

The Redskins were once titans in the NFL (Before the Oilers were renamed the Titans, obviously). In less than a decade, from 1983 to 1991, the Redskins won three Super Bowls behind Joe Gibbs and his talented roster. The Hogs paved the way for The Diesel, and on defense, Capital Punishment was in full effect.

Even before the dynasty days, the Redskins developed a rich history, dating all the way back to the days of Sammy Baugh, who tore up the early record books and cemented himself as one of the greatest ever to play the game.

The previous descriptions barely scratch the surface of the depth of Redskins history. If you wish to use this time to go back and reminisce, here are some links to aid you in your journey:
