Jabar Gaffney is in deeper doo-doo than I thought. The Washington Redskins' leading receiver told ESPN980-Redskins Radio yesterday that he was told the team was trying to trade him. Mike Jones reported in today's print edition of The Washington Post that Gaffney was told that he is on the trading block and that the Redskins would release him if unable to trade him. Gaffney was told to stay away from Redskins Park, says Jones. Wow! A fall that abrupt could only have come from orders from the top and I don't mean from Coach Mike. My grandma always warned us about putting our business on the street. Where was Jabar's granny when he needed her? Gaffney vented a profane tweet stream about his wife and Lito Sheppard, who is his cousin according to Wikipedia. You can always believe what you read in Wikipedia and on Twitter. This affair, true or not, has no business on the virtual street. True or not, the Redskins must feel the matter to be too hot for the brand. Kids, l...

Redskins to Trade WR Jabar Gaffney Following Another Twitter Rant

The Washington Redskins are looking to trade wide receiver Jabar Gaffney and have told him not to report to any offseason workouts, according to Gaffney himself. “I was very surprised,” Gaffney told the Washington Times’ John Keim. “I wanted nothing more than to play for the Redskins.

DeAngelo Hall flirts with Alex Morgan on Twitter, Morgan says she’ll attend Redskins game

Hopefully once word gets around that DeAngelo Hall and Alex Morgan were chatting back and forth on Twitter, everyone calls it flirting. That way we can see if Hall gets all worked up about it like Evan Longoria did that time when he and Morgan were chatting and everyone said he was trying to pick her up. It’s just more fun when that happens. Anyway, Hall recently tweeted back...

Robert Griffin III: “Doubters increase the power of my fuel”

NFL prospect Robert Griffin III has heard nothing but praise when it comes to his potential as an NFL quarterback. Then yesterday it was reported that an unnamed scout has told said that he’s “selfish.” Griffin responded on his Twitter account by saying that doubters only give him power.

Von Miller isn't as enamored with Robert Griffin III as others are, but that may due to a rivalry the two had in college.

Washington Redskins All About Robert Griffin III

The NFL Draft is still a week away but that hasn't stopped the Washington Redskins from showing quarterback Robert Griffin III some love. Washington traded with the St. Louis Rams for the number two overall pick in this seasons NFL Draft and have made it clear they like Baylor's Heisman winning quarterback Robert Griffin III. Griffin has already spent time going over the...

Cowboys and Redskins to have hearing in May

PFT is reporting that the Redskins and Cowboys will have their grievance heard in May. The grievance is over the issue of the NFL forcing them to take salary cap hits for player contracts they front-loaded in the uncapped year.

Rocky McIntosh will visit Bears

Free agent linebacker Rocky McIntosh, who has spent his entire six-year career in Washington, will visit this week with the Bears, a club in desperate need of depth at the position.

RG3 vs. Andrew Luck hype kicks into high gear. Are Redskins fans going overboard?

Sports fans follow teams, but they relate to players. I know this because hits to Hog Heaven are unfailingly higher when a player leads a headline than when the topic is about the team. We saw our biggest hits this month from stories about Robert Griffin III and London Fletcher than when we wrote about the schedule or defense. Big media knows that lesson, so it's no surprise...

NFL mock draft 3.0: Trades, trades and more trades!

We are officially one week away from the 2012 NFL Draft and one week away from the complexity of the 2012 Season changing with every pick. We know how the top two picks will play out but we don’t know how the rest of the draft will play out. Expect over the next week or

NFL Seeks Dismissal Of Redskins And Cowboys Cap Penalty Challenge

The NFL has asked an arbitrator to dismiss the challenge by the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys to salary cap reductions imposed by the league, according to a person with knowledge of the case.

Redskins schedule breakdown and predictions

The first installment of the 2012 schedule breakdown, as promised, is the Redskins. The NFL pundits came out today and said Washington has the 6th easiest schedule for 2012, but I don't see it that way. This schedule looks menacing, especially down the stretch, but it does begin with relatively winnable games. So if RG3 is able to adapt to the NFL quickly, this schedule just...
