We'll get a new blog injury update up soon. Off the top of my head, we havent heard from a few people in a while. Did some of us not make it out of the turkey comas from last weekend? Anybody suffering besides John from Herndon? We really gotta stay on top of our health so we can be in peak typing condition.

ANDYMAN ... EOM

I'm healthy. I practiced in full work clothes for the first time this week, tie and everything. My finger was sore from a lingering pinched nerve I picked up during a 130 WPM effort at www.typingtest.com. I've been fighting through the injury all week.

Whether the finger heals is really up to God at this point. I don't know if I'll be availabe come Sunday, consider it a game time decision.

Patrol, Skin --- Questionable --- Finger

King of the Hawk Men!!! YES!

The Scranton office was a bit redundant pre merger. But Michael trying to get the big guy up on the table was a similar turning point to Santana catching the first TD in Dallas '05.

In regards to the Stall 3 Redskinettes... I promise you this: All available resources (1 anlyst, 1 stfr, .6 intern, and me) are seeking it out on the world wide web. I'm going to check photobucket.com right now, but you have to be a member (typing that makes me feel like I need an argyle sweater and GF named buffy).

Jansen and Vincent good to hear. Do they vote for Def Plyr of Week? Just wondering if any of the other skins got mention - MW or CR specifically.

Exo Squad - great siht. Even the storyline was good. An enslaved gentically enhanced race rebelling against their creators. I froth at the mouth for the day us bloggers storm the WaPo and...sorry. Bloody Mary at lunch.

PG

I think I sprained my mouse finger just now, searching in vain for pix of the alleged FedEx restroom vixens. Trying to fight through the pain.

Skin Patrol, definitely get one of those air casts if you can. Take no chances. Bubba Tyer would probably keep you out of the office for the next day and half to make sure you can go on Sunday.

Pub, keep me in the loop.
I once covered a Detroit Red Wings playoff game at Joe Louis Arena where something randy occured in the last row of the stands, just below the press box, during what I believe was the intermission between the second and third OT period back in 1997.
Crazy.

Alright,

I'm going to put it out on www.photobucket.com . Expect affirmation of location and logistical xplanation for visitation in T minus 30 minutes.

Holla @ chur boy.

Elliot in the morning had to take them off per threat of law suit.

PG

Read this off of cnnsi.com (I edited it.) Gotta have some patience.

• Vince Young, picked third by Tennessee: At 4-4, Young has shown some of his playmaking ability, but has struggled overall: eight touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 49.9 percent.

• Matt Leinart, drafted 10th by Arizona: Despite a sparkling game against Chicago, Leinart is 1-6, which means he already has three times as many losses as he had at USC. Leinart has seven touchdowns and nine interceptions with 55 percent accuracy.

• Bruce Gradkowski, Tampa Bay's sixth-round pick is 3-7. He has nine touchdowns and six interceptions with 53.7 accuracy.

As rookies, they've actually performed better than almost everyone who's landed on the Mount Rushmore of NFL quarterbacks:

-Terry Bradshaw? He was 5-9 with 24 interceptions and six touchdowns while completing less than 40 percent.

-Troy Aikman? The first overall pick in 1989 went 0-11 as a starter.

-Peyton Manning? The top choice in 1998 went 3-13 with an NFL-high 28 interceptions despite a lineup with Marvin Harrison and Marshall Faulk.

-The most fitting example is John Elway, the top pick in 1983. He went 4-6 while throwing 14 interceptions and seven touchdowns. Elway's most embarrassing moment came when he was so discombobulated that he tried to take a snap from behind the left guard.

Anyone else think the Skins put up another stinker similar to the Texans debacle. This team just doesn't seem to understand what a winning streak is. Everytime the O line comes out and does a good job they take two steps back the next game against an inferior opponent. They beat the Jags and were patting themselves on the back and it seems like they were doing the same thing this time around - it doesn't take much for them to get big heads and forget the fact that it takes hard work to win games

The recent ska chatter has me listening to the Specials' first record... "Too Hot" indeed, my friends. Skankin' my guts out over here.

Football note: I know I'm not alone in hoping against hope that the Skins can go 5-0 this December, which however unlikely it may be would maintain Gibbs' incredible December record AND bring his "second era" record back above .500. But we take it one game at a time up here, and it all starts this Sunday. The Falcons are really down and eminently beatable, and our team and the home crowd should be pumped after last week... in other words, and concurring with some others, I think it's a trap game. Beware!

nothing wrong with some good ol' git-er-dun fun during intermission, giggity goo

If this works the rest will come shortly, with a disclaimer.

that worked, PG. thankee.

PG you are the man! LMAO

Jason, you'll seriously want to take these down soon. Editor, sorry to abuse the blog, but this is directly related to Redskins fans.

PG

Pg since the FCC said they are looking at my work production yesterday. I better wait until I get home to view these. LMAO

Nervous about looking at these pix at work. Grossed out by the stadium bathroom. Fascinated by the, uh, mechanics of that particular, ah, configuration. Still a wee bit suspicious that this was staged. And utterly delighted.

Thanks, PG.

JLC,

Care to share your reactions to Friend's WaPo chat session from earlier today?

PG is now KING OF THE BLOG. ALL HAIL THE KING!

Hail!

they are definitely NOT WORK SAFE (nor is it WaPo-safe either), so click 'n save while it's up there!!

I thought the Friend on-line discussion was great.

Houston: Tom,

You exposed a huge lack of continuity on defense in your article last week. In turn, the D put up perhaps their best performance of the year the ensuing Sunday. As a fan and a journalist, were surprised or maybe even empowered by the possibility that your work could potentially affect the play of this team?

Tom Friend: Like Wilbon said, if it took an article to inspire the team, they got problems.

Jason, great article today. I liked at the end the nods to Dawkins and Reed for being top notched and Roy Williams name being no where in sight. Was that a direct quote from Vincent or did you take some artistic liberties with that.

click n save highly recommended.

Over/Under is 4:11pm ET today.

Under (next 10 mins)

4th was anything good on 980 today?

Man - I fell asleep listening to B. Mitch at my desk. aNd while I was dosing off I accidently kicked the power switch and my computer was turned off. Luckily my work was saved. I haven't listened since then. Nothing 'Newsworthy' though. Why do they play those whack a** songs during commercial sleep. I think that's why I dosed off........

Also, Can we pull all this negativety out of the chat room? I am tempted to take another hiatus if those are all the postings i see.........

HAil to the KING!

I am extremely worried about Sunday's game....Atlanta is up against a wall - don't believe they have ever (at least not in a long time) lost 5 straight - and we rarely win two straight.

Even if we can miraculously beat ATL, Philly, St. Louis, and the Giants, we will not beat New Orleans. Drew Brees is a machine....

JLC,

That was one my favorite internet.com videos of all time.

I missed practice earlier this week with a cold. I'm back practicing at 100% today.

Unrelated note, full fledged Shabingus this AM. Lot of big-wigs at a meeting; standard. I am the little man at the bottom of the totem pole who could not care less; standard. The meeting goes on, and per usual, I have tuned out. Boss Chooch Von Choochelroy, asks me a question.

I say: "ummmm, I'm sorry?'

CVC: "Do you know what ______ thinks about this?"

several second pause...

AMTTS: "I don't know who that is..."

Guy sitting next to me: 'He's the president of your company...'

AMTTS: "Oooohhhhhh, right....sorry...I thought...well, I'm not sure what he thinks..."

shabingus.com

That needs to be a website.

I meant commercial BREAK. I guess you guys know where my head is at. That's what that PS3 dose to you. It gives you a headache and you stay up all night trying to work it.....

Yo JLaC,

I think you missed the point on Novak's stats in your article on Suisham. You said, Novak "has connected on just 5 of 10 kicks and is 3 for 6 from 40 yards or beyond." So he's 50% overall and an astonishing, uh, hmm, 50% from over 40. The real story is that the fruitcake is 50% (2 of 4 from inside 40). Yikes!

Imagine Novak on the 'Boys. I suspect Parcells would have cut him at halftime and had TO kicking FGs rather than put up with that kind of performance. It'd be great to have the whole local boy turned hero angle, but he's got to go. Here's to Boz and the kick in the team's a-- to make at run at the Jagta--. I hate him, but he's good.

P.S. Someone needs to tell Portis that he looks good as a blond, but with the money he's got he ought to be able to find a better place than a bathroom stall.

totaldisarray.com,

go down the side pics. I neither condone nor suggest anyone go there. but the question was asked.

PG is the mack, def dangerous office viewing, but worth it........

19 minutes to go. I wish I could be there when they talk about taking it off. I wonder if anyone will defend them.

"Well, they are only "R" rated, I mean you can't REALLY see anything..."

"That's true, I mean, she could have dropped an earring or a contacr right?"

"But why are the clothes off?"

"ahhh, well, maybe it's an allergy?"

PG

PG -

you have really out done yourself. with all do respect to JLC...that is the best thing this blog has ever seen. PG....you managed to do more in 20 minutes than anyone else has in the entire existance of this blog. keep up the good work and post any other high quality photography you come across...skins related or not

Those picks are 100% Redskin related. The WaPo will lose all inegrity in the International Community. The Post will be called Communist and Violaters of Free Speech if it gets taken down. Who has the ACLU #?

Again. HAil to th King!

TM,

I'm actually a little nervous about those up there. I think my career as "Voyeur Facilitator" is over. I have a little eject button next to my computer, and once pushed, my hard drive and photobucket accounts go Mission Impossible. I'm going to go ahead and read the "full rules" of the blog right now...

PG

well, so much for thinking of selling my tix.....i'm at least gonna hang around the bathrooms for a couple games....maybe this is a mr. snyder ploy to keep people interested in his product.....damn, what a smart business man...as someone referred to a couple weeks ago, he is like a drug dealer....always keeps you coming back for more.

PG - I look as if you followed all the rules. You should not have anything to worry about.

Or, maybe no one saw it yet. It appearrs to be a slow day in here, eh?

Def slow. I just went to check to see if they arrested Osama while I'm hanging upside down staring at my computer thru binoculars.

We're good. Absolutely nothing happening in the world outside the walls of this blog.

I heard that Megskin was one of the women in those stall pictures.

Thanks PG. You are the man. Go ahead and eject your Mission Impossible drive. I have confirmation from a non-working friend that the other website posted above has the images.

If you are going to be a true Redskins fan, you need to immerse yourself FULLY in the culture. This can mean viewing the beautiful and the spectacular, as well as the dregs of humanity. This particular instance falls somewhere in the realm of "sublime."

All in a day's work though, really...

We don't regulate the Internet. So no complaints from me. Good work, PG. Wow.

Confirmed:

totaldissaray.com has em down the right column.

Pub Golf-

My finger miraculously healed. Thank you sir.

I wonder what Mr. La Canfora's thoughts are on the whole stall incident.

I need to start telecommuting from home more often...

coupled with britney's shots, I declare that this has been a great week for investigative photojournalism!

You should see Paris's. Looks like it went 7 rounds with Tyson in '89.

just pummeled.

Mmmmmmm. Raw roast beef!

Easy kids, the cleaner we keep everything else, the more likely the links stay up until I get home.

Thanks PG....really. When my wife sees them I"ll just tell her "it's the skins, you wouldn't understand." NIce!

Amen, WrongDog. If the wife sees me looking, I'll just tell her I'm watching the 'Skins, um, working their tails off.

At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, I definitely think we could be crossing a line with this conversation... just don't want to incite the wrath of WaPo powers-that-be or (worse) get our lovely hosts in trouble. So let's veer back into safer territory. Or something.

With that said, no doubt that PG gets post of the day.

Def need a new thread. We're like a bunch of kids in a yard and someone just jacked a ball through the old scary lady's window.

curious - from this far above sea level, it almost looks like they are engaged in some sort of . . . well, nevermind. How bout them Redskins Cheerleaders!?

Thanks, PG.

someone just jacked a ball through the old scary lady's window

someone definitely jacked something, but i'm not so sure it was a ball. I could be wrong....

You know how you can take snapshots and turn them into posters and t-shirts and such? Well...I'm thinking that Stall4skin.jpg pic would make an epic mousepad.

I guess no one will post any more until we change threads, huh?

PG just got home from the gym and they have taken them down. Damn lol

Ja, seems like things have quieted down a good bit since our little kerfuffle over the pix, earlier this afternoon.

Trying to think of something provocative to say here on any other topic, to get things riled up. I got nothin'. Plus it's after work time on the east coast.

Hey, did you guys catch the mini-argument at the tail end of the Vulcans thread, after this thread started? It was kind of going in parallel to this one. And it was mildly interesting. And it was safe for work. Continuing to deconstruct the Friend article and chat. As one who is prone to posting on a 'cold thread' I check back periodically.

Doggone, wish we had some NEWS upon which to comment. Though that's a careful what U wish 4 situation, given that it's always bad news that fires us up the most...

I'm confident JLa will toss us some bones tomorrow and get us back on track. Or 'back untracked' as some say these days.

damn...didnt' catch the pics....mind putting 'em up again, PG?

K-man,

There is a website up top with a link bud - totaldissaray or some such. I was just there showing a bunch of girls I know how to behave in public.

oh wait. when I started this blog I became invisible to all females but Megskin and Lisa. Gift or Curse???

PG

just read tom friend's wapo chat transcript...he's such a homer!!! I LOVE IT!!! very very refreshing!!!

since mikee claims "i don't care about this team" over and over and over and over in every friggin article that he writes and jason(of this blog) would pick a SOCCER match over an NFL game anytime!!! tk, when he wrote, was perfect...come back TK, i hope your espn career fails you bastard!.

really cool stuff by mr. friend.

Ja, seems like things have quieted down a good bit since our little kerfuffle over the pix, earlier this afternoon.

About the pictures, oy gevalt. that's pretty nuts. People must be getting pretty blown away. I saw the bicycle cops at the stadium subduing a persistent drunk as I was leaving the other day. He was gonna be in a lot of pain on Monday, with, I'm sure a wicked headache.

It's no wonder we're a little burned out.
We've been in overdrive for the last seven weeks.

We are now approaching Redskins game 12; blog week 18(?). To review (Starting with gameday):

Game 6, Tennessee: Travis Henry runs the ball 20 times for 102 yards in the 2nd HALF as the Titans hold the ball for 20:24 in the half. The first of many merciless beatings to come.

Game 7, Colts: the defense, still reeling from Henry's pummelling take a faceful of BBM to the tune of 324-4-0. Heading into the bye week with a sense of hopelessness, and seemingly an endless strectch of Brunell ahead.

Folks thats 8610 on 78 threads. Folks we've been blogging our guts out. A bit of a deep breath is only natural.

See y'all tomorrow.

RMilot up here ( I have no idea why he says that) we are all in this together. lol

Up here = the highest level of football = the NFL

Coach Gibbs euphemizes his gutts out. LOL

"Up here" suggests there is be a "down there" which, I guess, must be college.

I am ready for another good showing from Campbell.

ROMO-MANIA is everywhere!!

shoot me.

I woke up this morning with the damning thought:

What IF we run the table?

STOOOOOOOOOOP IT!!!!!!!!!

It must be Friday.

What IF we run the table?

PG what did you have this morning?

JM,

Apparently a rather strong hit from da bong.

You kids have to check this out - even though it's in friendly enemy territory - www.czabe.com

Scroll to the bottom and there is a quote of gibbs from a regular poster here who is now slightly to VERY concerned about his season tix!

PG

PG - AS King of the blog - DO NOT TALK ABOUT RUNNING THE TABLE UNTIL AFTER OUR HOME STREAK AND WE ARE 7-7. THanks your highness.

See, WaPo did not take them down. The website you put it on took them down. WaPo had no reason to do this........

It's Friday and I will call out all the haters' today. Including the ones that feeel we will lose.

4th call them out bra. Because when it's game time it's pain time. Woooo Woooo.

I think I have spent too much time watching Terry Tate.

Oh-yeah!

JLaC - You picked the 'skins 17-7 On Fox Five this morning - Did you mean it?

I def will JM. I talked with Mr. Martin, 1st name Remy this morning. and he said we are not havining it today, at least not until I'll leave today.

Me and Mr. MArtin had a nice convo on our way to work this morn.........

Sorry for so many post, but that's what Mr. MArtin does for you.

Up Here = NFC EAST to me. You could be down there in the NFC South, but Hey! There was no SUCH THING as the NFC South 5 yrs ago! To me, UP HERE is the hardest and most long storied division. JLaC - any insight on your thoughts?

PG,

Thanks a lot, FF'er!!!!!

I've been thinking about running the table too... and if we win this weekend you will see spreadsheets with every single scenario.

If we lose.... I'm burning my jersey.

Ricky Bobby - If you don't stop, I will marry your wife again NEXT WEEK!

PS - You can kkep the children

Hey where is JLC this morning? He is running late with the awards post.

MAybe he's still at the Fox 5 Studios down the street from me? We def need a new thread.......

PG-
that quote was hilarious on that other site. Sounds a little like a "W" speech when you read it like that.

"I think what we need to do is come together with our Strategery, because we all know up here, you've got to strategerize your guts out to get a win. And we all know that Grilliams is a Master Strategerizer."

BTW, that was a butt ugly game last night. The Ravens did not look like they are ready for prime time.
Had to go to a buddies house to check it out, because I don't subscribe to the sooper dooper level of digital/satellite/brain implant cable package.
You can see it coming, can't you? In the near future you will have to pay to see ANY games, and Danny Boy will broadcast the Skins on his own personal channel, and you'll have to buy season tix to his amusement park and promise to go see whatever TC movie happens to be out.

No way the purple jersey'd freaks are ready for the big show. Those donkeys are 4th best in the AFC.

4th - aight man, you won't hear shnit outta me till 7&7...mmmm...7&7's...

I wish I could post a song that would some up all of my emotions about sunday. My choice:

Quiet Strom (original) - Mobb Deep

PG

Was it me or the play by play guy was horrible on yesterday's game? I think it was Brian Gumble. He was painful to hear.

Anybody think the same?

Cool.

I liked the Remix better. One of Lil' Kims best verses ever in my mind......

Yeah John, Gumbel broke my eardrums. He's bad and you obvioisly didn't watch the Thanksgiving day game b/c he was far worse. I think last night they turned up his mic because it sounded better.

Mobb Deep and Goody Mobb rock.

Gumbel and Collinsworth are both God Awful. Painful to listen to.

John and Skinz,

I was telling PG that Gumbel jumped ahead of Peter Angelos on my athrax list after last night.

Let's go through the ridiculousness....

1st quarter, 3rd and 9 for the Bengals... incomplete pass. Gumbel says the Bengals turn it over on downs.

1st quarter, Ravens just get the ball on the 20... Gumbel says it's 1st and 20, not first and 10 at the 20.

Later on, talking about Collinsworth who had 6,698 yards receiving... Gumbel says, "well, you only had 2 more yards for 7,000".... WTF????????

there were many, many more...

My favorite was at the end of the first half the Ravens(?) were driving for a score and got stopped, but were in field goal range. It was 4th down with like 12 seconds to go and Gumbel says "what do you think Chris, do they have time for one more shot?", and Collinsworthless says "sure they do". Then they both realize WHAT DOWN IT IS and try to cover it up, "but they're obviously not cuz here comes the field goal unit". What a bunch of morons. They're so caught up in their big egos they don't even know what down it is. Surprised both of their head can fit in the same booth.

Mobb Deep? Goodie Mobb? What about Snow? Anyone still listen to him? He was pretty hard huh? Or 3rd Bass. Those guys wouldn't take gruff from nobody. Though neither of which are as hard as Vanilla Ice performing "Ninja Rap" at the dance club where the final all out battle takes place in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze where our heroic crime-fighting reptiles battle it out with Tokka and Rahzar and after defeating them (i.e. getting them to drink the antidote that turns them back into a loveable doge and snapping turtle) they have to battle it out with not Shredder, but SUPER-Shredder who drank the last of the genetic mutating ooze to bulk himself up. Luckily the Turtles defeat SUPER-Shredder and all returns to normal. Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!!

Should we just assume Patten is never going to play for the Skins again? Someone remind me why we got him?

Megskin good see you back. And to answer you question. No!!!! lol

Chief Wiggums - I thought Vanilla Ice was in the 1st movie. For some reason, I can not remember a 2nd? Everything you refer to sounds like the 1st movie to me. But again, I was maybe 10/11 when it came out, so I don't remember everything...........

Patten - no way. He's trying out for Gaitlin's spot on the 4x's next month.

4th - "walk around the metal detectors"? was a great verse. Had similar effects to Red Stripe.

RB - O's have been pretty active in plugging holes w/ mediocrity. What do you think about attempting for Luis Gonzalez?? It has Glenn D. written all over it.

Man did JLC go AWOL on us? I hope the brother is alright.

In the history of sports, the only move worse than the Glenn Davis trade has to be Adam Archuleta.

I saw David Patten's name in a few posts. How great is it that Patten has a 13 million deal and has 1 catch all year? It's going to be sooooooo awesome to see all that dead cap space on Lavar, AA, and Patten next year.

It's seriously moves like his that make you want to scream.

Maybe J-La is driving around doing the investigative journalism thing, trying to find Deep Stall.

Welcome back, Megskins. Patten brings back images of Michael Barrow. Did he even get a number?

trying to find Deep Stall. LMAO

Or maybe Cindy pulled in the office about that post. Because up here we have standards. lol

Bad news!!! Just heard we will have Bill Maas again this Sunday....we are doomed!

jm220 -

just curious.......what does the 220 stand for?

How great is it that Patten has a 13 million deal and has 1 catch all year?

13 Mill for 23 catches in the burgundy and gold. Let's see, that comes to how much per catch? Yech, not worth doing the math on that one.

Jane Doe

It stands for my body weight.

I thought it might be your section number and Snyder might try to revoke your tickets if you say something negative about him or the team.

Ricky Bobby LMAO!

Now there is a thought. Since we now know he has someone reading the blog it wouldn't surprise me if he did do that. When I first start working out that was the body weight goal. Once I reached it people just started calling me 220.

I wouldn't worry too much about JLC's absence from the blog this a.m. He has a 12:15 chat on WaPost today so he's prolly just busy until then, esp. given the appearance on Fox this morning. Poor guy has to have a life too, doesn't he? haha

Thankfully Patten's 5 year, $13 million deal "only" had about a 3.5 million signing bonus. So cutting him this off-season should only be a bit more than a $2 million cap hit. Most, if not all of Arrington's dead money is on this year's cap. Now, Archuhotwife will be a massive cap hit in '07

jm220 -

just curious.....what does the jm stand for?

wow Jane Doe you are asking a lot of questions. lol Initials of my first and last name.

Megskin - Really enjoyed seeing the pics of you and the other woman in the stall at FedEx being very friendly towards each other. Keep up the good work.

Jane Doe I hope you are not working for the FCC and my boss. I am doing my work and only on this blog to check to see if it is eligible for funding. lol

anybody have any insight into the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure amendments that go into effect today? they require companies that have the potential to be involved in litigation in the U.S. Federal Court System must archive all emails, IMs, attachments, etc...

Updated Anthrax List:

1. If still alive, John Basedow (rumored to have died in Tsunami, but he's still my number 1... and even abs... that SOB! Last week's rank: 1

2. Bryant Gumbel... I thought I'd give him one more shot after he bombed the Thanksgiving game, but he is by far the worst play-by-play I've EVER heard. Last week's rank: 5

3. Peter Angelos... Sell the team, you old bag of bones. Last week's rank: 2

4. Dan Snyder/Vinny Cerato... This team is moving upward on the rankings. Thank you for ruining my favorite sports team of all time, gentleman!!! Last week's rank: 3

5. Raffy Palmeiro... he had moved out of my top 5 until all the McGwire HOF talk got me thinking about him again. Raffy, I should have punched you in the head when I had the chance! Last week's rank: NR

Talked to some of my people. Apparently, a lot of the big box ticket holders aren't renewing next season. They are so fed up with how bad the skins have been over time that they have no interest in continuing to pay big money for a lousy experience at FedEx and a losing team. For example, Ted Lerner is thinking about not renewing. You hear that Redskins front office and administrative people? Stop lying to us. Stop it!

I swear to God, if the Redskins do not come out on fire against Atlanta...

Did you guys see Bart Scott last night? What a friggin menace. Do you know he was undrafted in 2001, played backer at Southern Illinois and the Ravens have developed him for 5 years. Now he is the best player on the Ravens defense (this Adalius Thomas nonsense has to stop. He's fine, but he is overhyped-4.5 40 my a$$. He's good, but Scott in the maniac). We had a guy like that...Antonio Pierce. Developed him into a star.

Bart Scott. Jesus.

Really enjoyed seeing the pics of you and the other woman

It was a friendly disagreement, not at all what it looks like, I swear.

jm220

just curious....James Marshall?

Gov,

That's the thing that really bothers me about the Redskins... the lying.

Don't tell us there are 200,000 people on the wait list when there probably isn't even 1/4 of that.. and out of those 50,000, 30,000 of those are probably dead or kids under the age of 18.

The best is when I get the "visiting team return" email every week. YEAH RIGHT!!! So let me get this straight, you have visiting team returns in every section??? BS.... you just can't sell out the stadium anymore.

The stadium looks pretty pathetic (in terms of empty seats) right now, I'd hate to see what it looks like next year... especially the yellow club section that sticks out like a sore thumb on TV and at the stadium.

Danny Boy, you seriously need to step back and re-evaluate what you're doing. The loyal fans you've been taking advantage of are getting sick of it, and appear to be moving on out.

That's it!!!!! He's up to number 2 on my list over Gumbel!!!

A few non-Redskins thoughts:

- Gov of Louisanna LOBBYING for a BCS bowl game. Has it come to this? What a joke.
- Notre Dame does NOT deserve a BCS game. They are the most over-hyped team in the country.

PLEASE set up a meeting between Stan Kasten and tha Danny.

Stan Kasten recently was interviewed by a reporter about the Free Agent spending and what the Nationals plan on doing.

Stan's response was that he believes the best way to field a winning team is through player development and that, even though the payroll will continue to grow in Washington, he will go crazy and overpay for mediocre talent (aka Juan Pierre or Gary Mathews Jr. deals) because it just doesn't make sense.

Sorry, he said he will NOT go crazy.

But I guess that perspective would make sense, coming from a GM.

I used to work for Stan Kasten in Atlanta. He's a very smart guy. Went to every game the Hawks, Braves and Thrashers played. I still say Shurholtz was the architect of the Braves success.

Should read, "He went to every home game they plaed"

Hmm, no big reaction to today's "news": Grilliams continues to blame D lack of success on players' not executing on the field, but says he's not going to talk about 'that article,' and Randle El takes snaps in practice to help the D prepare for BBV and somehow manages to talk trash about it.

Jane Doe gives the third degree to jm220 (which, when you're hiding behind 'Jane Doe'. It's 1pm in the east and we still haven't heard from our lovely hosts.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little uneasy about the blog heading into the Falcs game. We need a good strong effort in practice today, people. Let's get after it.

Roster review:

R Bobby - doubtful thanks to Czab.com post
Pub Golf - doubtful - wrist (both)
Megskin - questionable - ahhh...hip? yea. hip. (stall accident)
JM220 - Probable - weighed in at 221.
4th - probable (neck craning over stall)

Everyone else - starting.

Let's bring the thunder l's & g's.

PG

Great work today guys, LMAOing like crazy. Ricky Bobby, thats messed up about John Basedow. That guy is a hero/demigod.

Just some clarification on TMNTs. 1st movie end with a roof top fight with the foot clan and shredder being thrown over the edge. 2nd movie is with super shredder and vanilla ice.

also... how far away is the nearest metro station to landover?

Great update PG. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

jm220, RMilot, I know I'm late on this but here are some thoughts on "up here"...

I first heard Gibbie say "up here" when he was rehired. That time period is a blur because I was already so happy that the OBC was fired, Gibbie coming back sent me over the moon for a time. But I distinctly remember two new tics: he said "up here" a lot, and he unveiled an amazing high-pitched, almost Wicked Witch cackle with which he punctuated every other sentence that happy offseason. We haven't heard much of that cackle in the intervening 2.9 years, but we sure have heard "up here" a lot.

Of course he means "up here in the NFL", but it's always been a puzzle what he's comparing it to. I thought he meant the geographical distinction between Carolina/the deep south, where he spent so much time, and DC (to the north, or "up"). I also thought he meant it to draw some distinction between NASCAR and the NFL, but that doesn't make any sense ("over here" would make more sense). Now I think the phrase represents (to him) everything that's different about being head coach of the Skins versus his life not as head coach of the Skins.

Or maybe... and pardon me while I stretch this in a desperate attempt to make a relevant point... he's been telling us this whole time that "up here with the Redskins" is a very very different thing than "down there with the Falcons"! Like, we're a real franchise with a real history that deep down inside knows how to be a champion, while they are a JOKE, and after getting to know them up close he would never have considered becoming their coach. Maybe all this time he's been sandbagging Artie Blank and the Falcs! Maybe he's been playing possum all season long to make this Sunday's massive blowout victory all the more improbable and therefore even sweeter!

Maybe it's Friday and I need a freakin' drink.

I love you guys.

Speaking of vheech ves dues zee veend bloo, wonder if J-La has any idea which way the wind is blowing as far as our kicker situation for Sunday? Novak vs SwissHam? Both active? Has SwissHam's presence given Novak a kick in the pants? Will any of our kickoffs (and I'm praying for at least five Skins kickoffs) be fielded inside the 10? Will we lose the game because we can't kick a goldang 40-yard FG?

We talked about this so much when Vandy was cut, maybe it's out of our system. But I still have the worries.

Ja, ich weiss wie ich es buchstebiere. Es war ein witz.

I em a mooch better keecker thun Nufek! Bork Bork Bork!

haha, this german talk makes me think about Beerfest. what a hilarious movie.

P.S. what is buchstebiere? beer store maybe?

Jane Doe no where close to my name. And I never will tell what it is. Why so many questions Jane Doe? lol

PG nope 220 is the correct weight. Even though I thinking about doing a body building competition there in DC. The guy that trains me wants me to put on another 20-30 pounds then come down to 210 to bring out the muscle. Not sure because 240-230 is a lot of weight.

Nate, I think Gibby just means the "NFL", by "up here". I just think he's trying to remind everyone how hard it is to win in the league. I honestly don't know how his ticker can take it. Do you see him during field goal attempts? The man looks like he's starring in "Weekend at Bernies IV"

Personally, I got kind of intrigued by Tom Friends suggestion of Russ Grimm taking over once St. Joe calls it in and Manboobs collects his cool mil and walks off into the sunset.......

maybe that was jm220 that someone saw in the Maybach the other day......

PG,

I just heard some news that you have been upgraded to "probable" for Sunday. Any truth to that?????

I like Grimm as Gibbs' successor even more now than I did the last time we had an opening at the top, when he still seemed to be getting started. Grimm has spent six seasons working in PGH, one of the best organizations in football with a great, old school coach (the spitter) and has seemingly done a great job in progressively higher roles. This hangover season notwithstanding.

When the time comes, I expect to be squarely backing Grimm. Since, you know, I get a vote.

Pulldownclaw only in my dreams. lol Plus in am in the Dirty Jerz. (New Jersey)

Hey guy I just got an e mail from Scott. He has two other volunteer things we are going to be doing in New Orleans. One is going to be giving out toys to children. (the helping out a food bank) If you can't make the trip and want to help check out the link.

I began the Grimm drum beat after the Tampa Bay debacle in my "fixes" post! He should have been instilled as Off Cord the day gibbs took over. The fact that the Steelers basically locked him down is proof positive he is good. Some say he is being groomed as Cowher's replacement, although to me thats a tough gig....

Gibbs GM/CEO...Grimm headcoach Grilliams stays but with less coaches and personel power and Saunders if he is willing to work with Grimm..my dream scenario,,,

DITKA IS GOD

jm220 -

just curious......are you telling the truth about all that body building stuff?

If I was a prospective head coaching canidate, there is no way the Redskins are my first choice (too much of a mess to clean up). On the other hand, money talks...

For anyone else relishing the Lilliputians implosion:

http://kissmesuzy.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-wish-everyone-had-listened-when-i.html

My lord. Went home and looked at the infamous photos last night. I thought to myself, "How man drinks will it take to lick her friend's Tootsie Pop? One ... Two ... Three ...." Then I thought, "What sort of woman goes about taking pictures like that in the women's bathroom? Kinky!" I'll say no more.

Patten - Patten was not brought on to play football. He was brought in as the token 'veteran with Super Bowl experience' to lend an anemic wide receiver corps some level of credence. Catch? Meh.

Of course, now, he's just there to look pretty. Wait, I amend myself - Archubingas was brought in to look pretty. Wait, wait - no, that's his wife. Sorry! Yes, we can now officially declare that Der Bingas is useless.

Bryant Gumbel is definitely bubbling onto the top of the Anthraxing list. John Basedow is on a different list - the "One I'd Like To See Die In A Hail Of John Peckinpah/John Woo-style Splat-tastic Bullet Storm, The Dies Choking On His Own Blood While The Lame Theme Song He Uses For His Infomercials Is Playing' list. John, give it up - all you're doing is making your wussamullet look bigger.

Meh!

Whoa, BT, did you just inadvertently drop a subtle Trung Canidate namecheck? Holy moley, I had forgotten all about that dude.

This is all speculation, but you'd have to think Grimm would be interested in coming back to the Skins, where he played his glorious three-SB-ring career and began his coaching career. I think the emotional ties would be super strong. And we should never, ever underestimate Snyder's chances to land anybody he wants, no matter what we may think of him. There is no salary cap for coaches, as he has so ably demonstrated, and there are only 32 of these jobs, as everyone loves to point out.

If this scenario played out, I hope Grimm would have a chance to bring in some good ideas and practices from a strong, stable franchise like PGH which has enjoyed consistent high-level play and recently won the SB. And who knows what the Skins' 'mess' will look like whenever we're in the market for a new head coach? Things could be very different than they appear now, mired at 4-7 in a tough season.

Sorry, that should have been the "The One I'd Most Like To See Whacked Out In A John Peckinpah/John Woo-style Splat-tastic Hail of Bullets, Then Dies Choking On His Own Blood While The Lame Theme Song He Uses For His Infomercials Is Playing' list.

Double Meh!

Jane Doe yes I am telling the truth. Jason and Scott will be able to back it up as I am going to New Orleans for the mission.

Since you want to know so much about me. Tell everyone a little about yourself.

And I thing Grimm would be a good for this team.

Nate - Trung Canidate was the man. He was so much better than that bum he replaced (Stephen Davis) and was drafted to replace (Marshall Faulk).

Again - I always think of 'Up Here' as meaning the NFC/NFC East for some reason. I know he coached in the AFC and west coast in College, but he is part of the Storied NFC East in the Mid 80s to Mid 90s that at one time won 4 or 5 (Ithink) straight SBs. To him, no other division compares. Some RBs aren't even built for the east, as we have some on our team.

Thank you everybody for the LMAO post starting from 2:48 yesterday until now. My neck is still alittle sore, though.......

is it possible that JLC ran off with Fudge-Ums to live in chocolately bliss?

5 TCCL - to Danny DeVito for going on some daytime show drunk. Saw the video last night - hilarious.

4th up here we do our best. As I am waiting for our holiday party to start. It's always fun because it reminds me why I don't drink. lol

mile high I for one was starting to worry about JLC. Until I read his on line chat. We did go a little over the line yesterday.But damn it that's what makes this blog the best. lol

This just came across the wire...

Pub Golf - Eye Bar Sat night.
Hotel in College Park for 5 hours sleep.

STARTING Defensive End in Blue Lot Sunday at 9am.

Section 125 Row 6 for the game.

YOU KNOW IT!!

JM220, I'm at 235 right now. Luckily tall tho. It's not that much weight. Just hang out with me for a few weeks and you'll be suprised at how fast pecs turn to titties, bench drops 45 lbs, and you can smell bob evans from 13 miles out. pretty fun.

This has become the time of year that I look back at the changes the Redskins made during the offseason and how they justified it to the point that, at the time, I thought..."Well, that makes sense."

Now I look back at it and I think..."Those f***ers did it to me again!!! No, it doesn't make sense to get rid of Antonio Pierce and Ryan Clark and LaVar Arrington then sign "A-squared" and Andre "the not so giant" and Warrick "can't Hold 'em"

PG that's just it man. I am affraid of looking fat. I am 5'11 so 240-250 pound is a lot of weight. I went up to 225 once but felt like my stomach look fat so came back down. Maybe it's a mental thing I don't know. Since I don't eat meat, chicken, or turkey to put on that type of weight means a weight gain shake. GNC is already getting enough of my money. lol

BT you are going to get my caught. I just started laughing really hard after reading your post and everyone just looked at me including my boss.

We are like sheep without a shepherd (or in 2006, a fence)...it has gotten weird in here but we are weird together.

Maybe that's the slogan that goes on a t-shirt:

The Washington Redskins Insider Blog:

Ever wonder what the blog would be like if we were winning...

okay this is getting ricockulous j-la-c. work day is almost over and i havent had a blog entry.

JM - got one more for you. Albert "just signed for 10 Mil, but let me steal 20 bucks from the rookie" Connell.

jm220 -

just curious.....you don't drink booze or eat meat? hmmmm.

what would you like to know?

what? there are sober skins fans? Better peeps than I.

After a loss I'm like Nicholas Cage at the fridge in Leavin Las Vegas.

Jane Doe I don't do eat meat or drink. Anything you want to share with us. OK crew I got to rock to the holiday party. If I am not on tonight everyone have a great evening. Go Skins and may the Reaper lay the wood again.

Jane Doe,

You are becoming flippin' annoying....

I appologize, Lisa.

Jane Doe is displaying the characteristics of a starry-eyed child in the thrall of our blog brother. Y'know, it's the same impact he seems to have on Sallie Mae sometimes.

Oy, Jason where are those awards?

Chick fight!!

btw...regarding the discussion in the chat house today with JLaC...Seattle calls their cheerleaders The SeaGals...
