Found January 04, 2012 on Homer McFanboy:
(photos by Brian Murphy) For better or for worse, another year of disappointing football has come and gone in our nation’s capital. And while the 2011 season wasn’t exactly what fans of the Washington Redskins hoped for, it wasn’t all bad. Head coach Mike Shanahan continues to retool and reshape his roster — dumping overpaid and underwhelming players [...]

2012 NFL Mock Draft: Redskins Have Several Choices

The Washington Redskins have no excuses this year as to why they couldn’t pick a quarterback for the  2012 season. There are some good quarterbacks in the 2012 NFL Draft that could make an impact. So let’s “go there”: Who would be a good fit for the Washington Redskins? If the 2012 NFL Draft were held today, here are the players I would expect the Redskins...

Kerrigan Quietly Mic’d On NFL’s ‘Sound FX’

It recently came to my attention that Redskins rookie linebacker Ryan Kerrigan was featured on the NFL Network’s show “Sound FX,” which features microphone’d players and whatever they have to say over the course of a game. The microphone in his helmet was used to catch his interactions between teammates, coaches and opponents during the Redskins-Vikings game...

Rocca Came Here To Win A Championship

AP Image Shortly before Christmas, I had the opportunity to talk football with Australian Broadcasting Corporation correspondent Craig McMurtrie and his cameraman Louie Eroglu at Redskins Park. It turned out that not only has Redskins punter Sav Rocca been a punting stud in Washington this season, but he’s also turned heads 10,000 miles away in his native Australia.  The reason...

Tight end Chris Cooley played in only five games this season and finished two of the past three seasons on injured reserve.

Cowboys-Giants outrates Redskins-Eagles in Washington market

The conventional wisdom is that Washington is unlike many other East Coast sports cities in fairly obvious ways.

In 27 of those markets, the most-watched television show last week involved the home...

Redskins' logos still subject of court battle

A years-long effort to cancel six Washington Redskins' federal trademarks is scheduled for trial next month before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, according to board documents. The petition by five Native Americans, Blackhorse vs. Pro-Football, Inc., asserts the team's name and logo are offensive. ...

Season Ending Power Rankings Roundup

AP Image Power rankings are designed to be equivalent to an approximate rankings of NFL teams, No. 1-32.  What it actually turns into is an over-hyped barometer that shamelessly follows winning and losing streaks, and has no ability to predict future results. In other words, it’s pointless in principle, product and practice.  But they are fun when your team is winning. Throughout...
