Rick Maese of The Washington Post had a good article talking about the Who’s and How’s in regards to scouting and drafting players at Redskins Park.  Personally, I was surprised that we still have most of the personnel guys that Aaron’s Cousin Vinny hired back when he was working diligently at wrecking the 53-man roster on a daily basis.

I think Shanny the Elder had a pretty good draft this past April, considering how many picks they ended up stockpiling and also considering the fact that we needed help at virtually every single position on the field (Yeah, I know we really, really, reeeeeeeally needed a Quarterback; I was raising the Sexy Rexy SUUUUCKS!!! banner before anybody, but we needed everything else, too, and who were we going to get by the time we picked, Blaine Gabbert?).  Things aren’t looking too rosy for the class of 2010, although it’s hard to see Trent Williams through this haze in the room…wait, what were we talking about?  Oh yeah….

What’s interesting in this article to me is the insight into how exactly things are run behind the scenes in Ashburn, and the opinions quoted from staff members of other franchises.  Personally, it sounds like Ol’ Glass Eye needs to delegate more, but hey, I don’t make millions of dollars a year, what do I know, right?

Like it or not (My vote:  Not), at least one of The Shannys is going to be here for at least another season.  Hopefully he can right the ship, and as much as I’ve never been a Shanny Fan, he deserves one more draft and at least half of next season to prove he knows what he’s doing.  But dudes, seriously, if we get to the beginning of November 2012 and we still suck, it’s time for Mike Shanahan to go.

Hail To The Redskins, beat the Patty Cakes today!!! -John

Dudes and Dudettes, these are the times that test our Fanhood.

I’ve watched it twice now, and I’m still not sure exactly what happened in those last four minutes against The New Jersey Jets.  All I know is that I saw Dirty Sanchez block out DeAngelo Hall on that last Gang Green touchdown, and I saw Rex Grossman as his highest level of SUCKITUDE, or, the usual for him.

In any event, we’re still lumbering on through this debacle of a season, hoping that Fred Davis and Silverback will drop by the Harry Hog Studios to help us chill out, because being a Redskins Fan right now pretty much sucks it.  But that’s why we’re True Fans.  Take the Bad with the Good, the losses with the Wins.  And maybe somehow, someway, we can avenge that horrible loss to the Patriots from a couple of seasons ago on Sunday.  Or we’ll get crushed and continue to solidify a Top-Five draft pick in 2012.

Kyle Shanahan SUCKS.

Hail, and keep the faith, brothahs.  -John

Ok, the funny thing is this stat from The Washington Post sums up everything, and yet leaves out so very, very much, like that fact that we’ve now secured another season without a winning record – that would be two seasons in the last twelve (12) that we’ve had a winning record according to Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts.  Two.  Thank You again, Dan Snyder.

In any event, with so much wrong with the ‘Skins, including the obvious (Sexy Rexy – my very, very personal kick) and two starters who can’t seem to figure out that their job depends on NOT smoking the Tree despite that being a reason that they could Lose Their Job,  I just had to offer up this quote:

Worst Offensive Quarter: The Redskins had 11 plays in the third quarter, and gained 12 yards. Included in there was an eight-yard run. So the other 10 plays averaged 0.4 yards.

The Redskins, and the Shannys and their 11-passes-in-a-row playcalling, ain’t gettin’ it done, folks. Not by damn far.

Hide your weed, here comes the latest OUT cover model...

Wait…what?

Oh, sorry dudes, got distracted.  I’m hangin’ here with Fred Davis and Silverback.  What was I sayin’?  Oh yeah, the latest podcast is up, #273.

In this week’s podcast we try not to dwell too long on that Debacle against the Dolphins.  Unfortunately, the next game is against…Dallass.  Has there ever been less buzz going into a Dallass week, well, ever?  Hard to get pumped when The Dynamic Duo of SUCK are your options at QB.

In any event…wait…what were we talking about?  Oh yeah…

Oh dude, are those Pringles…

The question on my mind right now is, who’s the bigger Dynamic Duo of Suck:  Rexy and Becksy or The ShanaClan?

Seriously…
