This is a flawed movement (shouldn’t it be “FIRE VINNY“?) but one we’ll support nonetheless. A disgruntled Skins fan has color coordinated the upper deck seats on both sides of FedEx Field to spell out two “FIRE SNYDER” signs for the November 15...

I was unfortunate enough to have ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown on in the background before the embarrassment at FedEx this week. The “analysts” — Mike Ditka, Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter, Tom Jackson — started the show by taking turns ******** on the...

Vinny Cerrato said this when asked about the team’s failing offensive line:
We tried to address the line. We added [Derrick] Dockery. We added Mike Williams. We attempted to, and when we were in the draft, there was nobody at No. 13 worthy of it.
So they added Dockery and Williams...

A detailed look at the Skins play-calling process: 1) Sherm Lewis calls plays from the booth. 2) Sherm Smith relays plays from the sideline. 3) Jason Campbell receives plays on the field. 4) Jim Zorn resists the “temptation of overriding when necessary.” He actually said...

The awful news that we’d heard rumors about this week is apparently coming true: Chris Samuels will retire. More from Jason Reid:

Vinny Cerrato just said as much on his radio show:
“Jim Zorn is the head coach for the rest of the season and hopefully into the future.”
Two quick things to note about this one little sentence:
1) As I said over at my other home, even Cerrato isn’t inept enough to...

Well, this is fun. Hall of Famer and former Jim Zorn wing man Steve Largent has some things to say about the Skins, and they are not good things.

I’ve heard of Matt Mosley, but admittedly, I know nothing about the guy other than the fact that he writes the NFC East blog for ESPN.com. Oh, and hey, according to his bio he was an “award-winning writer for The Dallas Morning News.” Cool. He must be a big Skins...

The Nats have asked the Dodgers for permission to interview Donnie Baseball for their managerial position after the playoffs, which I support because a) he’d be their biggest draw b) he’s Joe Torre’s wing man and c) it allows me to post awesome **** from the ’...

With the proliferation of anti-Redskins fashion (see: our T-shop, see also: Trade Snyder and F#ck Snyder), it’s high time to share some pro-Redskins cotton. First, from twoeightnine design, Hay Hay Hay, It’s Fat Albert.

There’s no doubt in my mind — and probably not in yours, either — that Cerrato told Zorn after the game that his balls we’re being ripped from his body and handed to Sherm Lewis in a little glass jar. There was certainly no polite back-and-forth between the...

Tony Kornheiser was in the owner’s box yesterday and had this to say on his show:
