thank you. first. f soccer

Now this is a good post!

Where is everyone? A great post, Jasno. I wish I could have been there to see it ...

turd

That's what we need from the old man- some fire and brimstone.

GOSKINS!

-Pissed Of ornery negative Gibbs rulz
-grandfatherly praying at end of game Gibbs drulz

You tell 'em coach.

yeah gibbs... hopefully the players pick up on the field where he left off....

Still Postin'

Hater in the House

Good, exactly, fire em up gibby.

Swinging souls, and then it should have #40, #56 and #85 on it!

LOL (can you do that to your own comment)

that is what we need around here! Let's get pissed off and keep a chip on our sholder ALL season long! Peace loving Norv Turner is making the Chargers SUCK b/c he has none of this. I hope coach Joe pisses on a reporter by the end of the year!

NO PORTIS UPDATE?????

Just getting it out of the way for that one guy that is obsessing over every detail... better now than later.

Abide brothers, abide.

Awesome. I can't wait to see the repercussions of a fired up Joe Gibbs. Thanks Jasno.

they're gonna kick the livin' soul outta the lions.

did he really say "swinging souls" or does that stand for something??

I'd rather have a "Swinging Sole" t-shirt. Nothing like a dead flatfish hanging from a line doing nothing.

Maybe we could title it, "Brandon Lloyd Flops".

A screamin skin, go Gibbs, go!

Better to be pissed off than pissed on seems a good mantra to me.

Adam

ITA

"It's gonna take every swinging soul we've got" sounds like a John Wayne line. That it awesome.

NOW I think we're gonna win this game.

Thats the Gibbs I want to see, I want him all fired up, I know when I played ball that when the coach gets fired up so does the team, Its getting closer to gameday and with this I feel alot better about it.

Ornery, swinging soul-bomb dropping Gibbs! SWEET!

i love to see a transcript of the exchange.. and was that jasno actually giving a thumbs up, or better yet an atta boy!!

We'll all know that Gibbs is really serious again when he starts throwing chairs in the locker room at halftime.

DLD from The Times - Love it!

Very nice, a little fire, that's what i like to see. I hope he laid into the players also.

I guess there are F bombs
S bombs
N bombs and now Soul Bombs.

Gibbisms page on wiki, anyone? I wont have the time this weekend. Maybe tonight after I start drinkming some Jack n Cokes.

But I may not know all of them like the rest.

Finally some life shown by St. Joe!!!!! I thought he lost it all!

I hope that was televisied.

Wonders what words Buddy Ryan would use instead of "swinging souls". We might not agree with the methods Coach Joe uses as far as game planning and clock management ect, but the man really cares about the Redskins and did not have to come back for this. InGibbsI(we)trust.

Soul Bombs are delicious. They go down like water.

Tangent - i try to make it a point not to trust a man who has 9 children from 9 different women to stay out of trouble.

I LOVE IT! thats what this team needs is a dose of bitter nastiness. The meaner Gibbs gets the better. I want him chewing nails by Sunday morning and I want our boys to be cracking skulls all over the field.

The O needs to run up the score on the Lions joke of a defense and the D needs to teach Kitna et al that their greatest show on turf BS doesn't play on the grass battle fields of the NFC east. We got to lay a hurt on them at least as nasy as philly did.

http://www.joegibbsracing.com/

How soon can we expect a video on YouTube from The AMAZING Dik Shuttle Band, performing, "They Blinded Me With Balance"?

or maybe from Chris Larry and the Meatheads?

Bloody sjk! You'd think someone asked ol' Gibbsy a soccer question.

You think maybe it was Joe that kicked floyd in the shin??

Wow - Now I'm REALLY gettin' pumped! I just hope he doesn't have another heart attack, tho.

C'mon now, Skiins - let's get that St. Joe statue some polish. I think I hear Roy Williams' teeth chattering.

Jakeweed! I'm leanin' towards Kingdom on the big plasma. I'll update you w/ details & developments.

HAIL Brethren!

Its been a while since someone used me.

Now this is why I read this blog.

It looks like a good week to break out the new landry jersey, Gibbs finally gave me a reason to do so.

It's been a while since someone used me too.

Ain't that the truth!! That's gotta sting Shanahan big time. You'd think he'd learn after Daryl Gardner, Dale Carter, Maurice Clarett, Todd Sauerbraun (he even resigned him).....

Tracy Jordan dropps truth bombs.

Joe Gibbs drops soul bombs.

SAK;

I should be getting my Reaper throw back tomorrow. I usually wear my Cooley Storm Jersey home and Moss white away, but this might be a special occasion as you say.

Of course that is why we lost two sundays ago... I was at Dover not wearing a jersey.

I love this. I do get the feeling like it was directed at BLloyd though. Either way I love it.

***2005 Steelers***

Gibbs finds out Moss will likely not play. BLloyd back at practice underperforming as usual. Gibbs blows up. Hmmmmm.

boop boop boop - she blinded ME with Balance! Sounds like a plan.

So I need to do:

1) Blinded me w/ Balance
2) Balad of Soup ( I think it's on the wiki, right?)

There's an extra day this weekend - so I'll try to tackle 'em then if not befo.

In the meantime, it's not me, but ENJOY!

http://shuttlelounge.com/sshtrs.mp3

skinswest - you think Shanahan really cares who he has running the ball? They're all gonna run for over 1200, get signed to lucrative free agent deals or get traded, then fail to produce anything close to what they did in Denver. I still love CP, don't get me wrong - but that system is amazing.

The last guy that asked for a Reaper throw back ended up in 1985.

http://www.sidcolton.com/directoryOfSidShows/grammyDylanSoyBomb.jpg

Maybe all of our messages were read by Floyd and he decided to sak up (i know, flag on me)

Well, an unhappy correspondent named Redcoat, late of London, wrote to say he disagreed with our assessment of soccer as a particularly boring sport compared to football. While he had interesting things to say about rugby (also known as "thugs in striped shirts"- Editor's Note), Mr. Redcoat tried to defend soccer's non-stop action, compared to timeouts and huddles in real (American) football. Well, Mr. Redcoat is probably a fine bloke, but how does he explain the fact that at any given time in a soccer game, 80% of the players are standing still or shuffling around, whistling Milli Vanilli tunes and waving to their girlfriends in the stands? Meanwhile, there are riots going on in the bleachers and in the parking lot. Sorry, Mr. Redcoat, but the action should be on the field, even if it means only 15 seconds of real violence every minute.

A special thanks to RB in Maryland, who had wonderful things to say about my books and also asked my recommendation for a wine that goes well with Popeye's Chicken. Well, RB, I don't know about you, but I really like the extra spicy chicken with a chilled glass of Riunite Lambrusco. It really hits the spot, and always reminds me of the time I was in the Italian section of Atlanta, but that's another story for another time.

nice etrod

It sounds like all that was missing from that presser was a 'Diddly Poo'.

Posted by: mile high | October 5, 2007 02:30 PM

He gave Henry a big FA contract knowing he was on his third strike and was predicting a 1500 yd season from him this year. They've got a great system no doubt but they haven't been nearly as dominant since CP left, particularly late in the game and in the red zone. So yes, I think this will definetely sting Shanahan.

Zebra I just got mine 2 weeks ago, my white samuels jersey is getting a little old so I decided to upgrade, got an awsome deal an authentic red landry jersey for 60 bucks.

Yes yes and YES. That's what I like to hear.

I see lots of running and it's gonna come down to whether or not we can be successful running.

I see lots of bend but don't break defense and the lions settling for FGs. I see a close game and a redskins win. httr

skinswest - saw a quote from Shanahan this morning to the effect of - signing someone who has only one strike left is much safer than signing someone who has two strikes left.....sad but true, I guess.

Nice, I like this. Break a foot off up someone(Lloyd)arse!!!

Off topic but i just saw that the lady who was in court for downloading songs has to pay $9250 per song.

Hail to the Redskins.
Hail Victory.
Coach Joe on the Warpath.
Swinging Soul bombs for Ol' DC!

Speaking of how many strikes a player has left. Guess who was featured at one of the hip hop clubs last night here in Dallas?

That's right - Tank Johnson. I hate to wish bad luck on people but I would love to see Jerry Jones if/when Tank gets in trouble before he can even set foot on the field. That guy is stupid for even being at a club after all that he's been through.

Dik-Sweet Bluegrass HTTR!!! Big ol' plasma at the Kingdom, here I come!

Something tells me the seldom scene nor their independent lable have the lawdogs to pull off that kinda scam.

Besides, just spreadin' tha love.

Gotta love the record industry, don't 'cha? lmgo

Guess who was featured at one of the hip hop clubs last night here in Dallas?

I hope you do not mean "featured" as in "i'm picking up a few bucks on the side while I ride out this suspension"....what a piece of work that guy is.

Bigfish, I think it's entirely acceptable to wish bad luck on the Cowgirlz & their ilk.... my lovely GF being the exception, of course. Not 'cause she deserves it (which she does) but 'cause she'd stab me. She would. Seriously... :-|

"Maps"

JLC quoted Gibbs saying: "We need to get A win someWAY, and it's going to take every swinging soul we've got."

Ha ha... When I played football in college the coaches would say "swinging d*#k" rather than "swinging soul."

I guess "swinging soul" is used for the media.

WOW! Coach is PISSED! AWESOME NEWS! I hope it carries over to sunday.

Gibbs feeling the pressure and its showing. We need leadership at the helm, not hysterics.

Maybe now he'll be able the summon up enough manhood to watch a game-winning field goal?

She was peddling Seldom Scene discs out of the back of her car? This is her get rich quick scheme?

So I was wondering who do I start this weekend on my yahoo team--Kitna or Campbell? I was leaning toward JC anyway, but now I know we're gonna strike, strike, strike! Arrrrr!

Welcome to the Greatest Show of Girth, Detroit!

Finally Joe... Finally!!!

HTTR!

Sweet Swingin' Souls...The Gibbs interview, in all its glory, is up on Redskins.comTV....he is FUMING!
Favorite exchange -
Reporter: "Brandon Lloyd is good to go?"
St. Joe: "Practiced. The whole practice!"
Can you say dog house???

Just wonderin' out loud where all the haters from the last thread went. You know the ones..."F you for this post about soccer, etc. etc. blah blah". Here's your insiderest of infos, and you're gone. Anywho...

Oh, and just for the record, F soccer. But it's all part of the ebb and flow of the blog. Roll with it.

* Floyd *

Yo I chimed in early..."great post" and i was vocally anti-soccer

Just saw a dude with an Utley jersey. It's on.........

This is definitely a redeeming post.

I just wonder if soul is what born-again Joe uses to replace dsjk?

That poor senile old man. Nobody fears him or this team. The game passed him by long ago, in the same fashion offenses zoom by "Area 51". Sheep the all of you are.

You're a F'er, not a hater cL. :)

Is Utley a soccer team?

Just saw a dude with an Utley jersey. It's on.........

Was he in a wheelchair? Sorry... I couldn't help myself.

JG2.0 might actually stay awake for the whole game this time. Instead of taking his normal Nap at Half time, he might actually bother to make some adjustments.

If he finds a way to blow this game against the Lions, he should just quit on the spot.

Oh please, "oh, please" - go hang out on the soccer blog or something. Or find a lameness blog - you'll fit right in.

TIM-MY!!!

I'm here as well. Still hate soccer and floyd!

2nd half of Giants game his team gives up 21 straight points ... and coach gets mad 12 days later. Better late than never? This team needs some killer instinct. Maybe Gibbs is finding his?

No Gibbs is so old it takes him 12 days to realize he lost to the giants.

With the media, Gibbs is either a cliche-filled near-dead zombie or a raving rude, hysterical lunatic.

Are you kidding me - he has not made hardly any game day decisions and it's Friday.

Go watch the interview and see for yourself.

They lose Sunday and he cracks large.

F the Gibbs haters and F soccer.

I don't mind criticism, but age jokes?

That's worse than making fun of or paraplegics!

Killer instinct vs. bornagainism is like the battle between good and evil. Classic stuff, but the good side only wins in the movies. The heck with the goody two-shoes stuff, Coach Joe. Either get fired up, or retire and get thee to a ministry.

I don't know Cipher, I think the Inquisition might prove you wrong there.

Torquamata? You can't torquamata anything!

Oh yes!!! A fired up, pist off Joe is what we need...as Joe goes, so go the Skins. Every "Swingin' Richard" should be as equally angry, then take it out on the Lions.

Sean: "Hey God, look at it this way. I get paid to create mayhem."
God: "I'm sorry, Sean. You're right - carry on."

Gibbs is so old that there is a better chance of a paraplegic winning the 100m race than Gibbs 2.0 winning a Super bowl.

There you go...Age and Paraplegic joke together in one post. this should make Larry "KoolAid" Bud's day

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

What a show...

The Inquisitors were the bad guys.

JC NC- I don't think I was clear enough. I'm talking about craig, Jason H., Lester Burnham, Dlyne8r, all the anons... those who enlightened us with the "You suck for posting this Jason...where's the redskins news...". Now we get this post that's more inside Gibbs than anybody but his proctologist, and they're nowhere to be found, until the next soccer post.

And to make sure I'm perfectly clear on this; F SOCCER. And FLOYD!

Sweet Swinging Soul, who p!ssed in my coffee today?

The Inquisitors were the bad guys.

Posted by: Lewis C. | October 5, 2007 03:14 PM

Yeah... I get jokes...

Nothing sings swinging soul like a Danish band ... http://www.swingingsoulmachine.com/

I wonder what got the guy so fired up? It couldn't have been the question about the Lions not winning here. Who's in contract negotiations (that could have pooped today)? Did something bad happen with the racing team? Did he get some news about a player that he wasn't expecting ... is the league getting ready to suspend somebody? Did a player or coach just fess up to him first about some off-field whoopsie?

Or was it just straight up piss offedness about lacksidaisium? Was this the last practice before the game?

The fire is encouraging, but hopefully it was inspired by football-game-winning reasons and not something nefarious.

Gibbs is the reason we're losing the war in Iraq.

Preach it 4-12!

Like a born again inquisitor!

"Gibbs is so old that there is a better chance of a paraplegic winning the 100m race than Gibbs 2.0 winning a Super bowl."

Dude! If you're gonna slam Gibbs, at least have the cajones to do so overtly. The anonymous postings are pretty pathetic.

Someone has kidnapped the real Peter King or he has started drinking. 2 positive points in his outlook for the weekend.

2. This is the week for the Redskins' Clinton Portis to make the quantum leap to big fantasy player. He's playing the Lions, he finally feels close to normal, and Joe Gibbs is going to feed him a lot.

3. I really like Washington's Jason Campbell this week, and not just because he's going up against the Leos. I like him because he's starting to show signs, in practice and games, of being the kind of accurate passer he was at Auburn. Now, he may have to use Reche Caldwell and Keenan McCardell this week, which could be a worry, because he hasn't had much practice time with him. I still think it's going to be a big day for Campbell.

nothing like a little piss and vinegar to get the boys fired up...

hopefully that is a tone in the locker room and not something isolated to the reporters...

this team needs a fire lit up under their A$$E$$!!!

release the hounds!!!

Or was it just straight up piss offedness about lacksidaisium?

I'm sorry sir, I flunked flank.

You flunked flank? Get the flunk out of here!

Gibbs' presser is up on Redskins.com

Fantastic show, Coach Joe.

I am no longer worried about winning this game. It's as good as done.

Brilliant refernce to Thomas Dolby. BRILLIANT!

Not so, hence the whole Fake Nate Debate

Why was Gibbs pissed off? Probably at the prospect of having no Moss and a whimpering Lloyd at practice.

As good as done as in we won't have to wait till 2nd half to know they will lose.

They probably get blown out in 1st quarter

just saw the video of Joe on Redskins.com WOW! My man ain't SJK'n around...

You gotta check it out....

Internet Fact. 99% of the people who complain that the posters live in the mother's house in fact lives with their parents themselves.

Squeeze em' - You ever heard of different time zones? Besides, your little rant was probably provoked from the fact that your fat a$$ wife won't turn off Dr. Phil, get off the damn couch and fix you a ham sandwich. Right?

Maybe you need to get a life!

I love it - someone posting in a blog to .. uh.. not post in a blog.

dcsween, whether Gibbs will admit it or not, he is superstitious as all get out (just like I am) and everytime someone comments about things like us always beating a team (the Lions, etc.) he fears a jinx. Since this has been brought up ad nauseum all week, I'm not surprised he got angry.

Something very very similar to this was about to come out my mouth, but morality slapped me on the inside...

Dr. Phil, Oprah, etc. - that's some scary stuff - no wonder Nate doesn't own a TV.

"Mose calls him Garbage ... because he eats garbage. He also killed and ate an entire family of raccoons."

I, for one, am rather concerned about Receiver, The practicing today. Not because he shouldn't be available to finally give game like he apparently did in San Fran. He should. Not because the more time he's actually suited up means the less he earns on an hourly basis. It does.

I'm concerned b/c I picked him to be inactive this week. I don't remember, is this pool the one involving a ham sandwich?

No, as a matter of fact your fat aSS mother keeps drinking all the kool-aid and leaving shti crumbs in the bed. Tell her to wash that lard arse of hers, puhleez?

Lisa, I'll buy that. Makes sense to me. I, myself, have been known to fake Turrette's syndrome to ward off a jinx. Frankly, the current little pee-pee session btwn Squez and others might be inspired by the need to ward off a jinx.

Lisa!! Angelic Voice of Redskin Reason!

This is entirely true. Gibbs 1.0 would always chide those meaningless stat quotes, when confronted.

Can we hope his fears are unfounded? :)

Sween - Maybe Receiver, The checked his blog last night and saw that he got bombarded yesterday with hate mail and decided it's best that he at least suit up...

"Computers are about trying to kill you in a lake"

"Make a U-turn, if possible"

Lisa, I was serious. It completely makes sense that St. Joe would lose it over that question. [The possibility hadn't really occurred to me ... I feel better now ....]

That said, my game plan still entails physical removal of Kitna from the field. This runs counter to my personal mojo of not wishing injury or harm on anybody. I wonder if there might be another way to get him off the field ... Ex Lax in his Gatorade? That's not really injury or harm, as much inconvenience.

#@*%!!!! Sorry, just warding off that jinx I feel coming on...

SAK - Was your jersey the correct size? I got a nice Cooley one for $60 bucks but it was like 2 sizes smaller than it is labeled.

I hereby dub Thursday Nite MY TV Nite - take THAT chix who watch 'the hills'!

30 Rock
The Office
Sunny in Philadelphia - It's Diaper Time!

Lisa, Thank you for getting things back on track and making sense of what was right before our eyes.

That being said, Joe has always side-stepped the questions that he didn't want to answer. Then there are those rare occasions when a media rep's question just sets him off.

I think that this particular episode was a long time coming and long overdue. Joe's at his best when he's angry. Focused. Determined. Ready to kick butt & take names later.

I just saw the Gibbs interview and he's pissed!!! I wish we played today!!! I didn't think he had it in him. Damn liquored up reporters! Screw em'!!!

GO SKINS!

It's about time we see some piss and vinegar.

No more hemin' and hawin'. Let's kick the living sh$t outta the Lions.

Finally.

Joe has been reading my posts.

"Coach! Do you believe in Bigfoot?"

Yea it was the right size 50 or 52 I cant remember. but it fits fine.

just watched the video on redskins.com and gibbs wanted no part of the schlub horde after practice!

Please stop comparing the redskins to us losers....we were 15-1 the previous season and we were stacked with about 8-9 pro bowlers.

The redskins were 5-11 last year and have maybe 1 pro bowler on their roster.

There are no similarities between those 2 teams other than that they both have yellow in their uniforms

Nice. Ebay? mine fits but a little snug. But, I am not horribly dissappointed.

Predictions:
- five plus false start penalties from the Lions' O-line
- three picks by the Skins
- a fake FG attempt by Skins
- five completions by Jason Campbell for more than 20 yards
- four fumbles total (both) teams
- Betts and Portis each of a rushing TD

Squeeze em' - You ever heard of different time zones? Besides, your little rant was probably provoked from the fact that your fat a$$ wife won't turn off Dr. Phil, get off the damn couch and fix you a ham sandwich. Right?

Mr. Squeez Em'
If you are in fact in a relationship with this man's mother, perhaps you should vent you concerns about her weight and hygiene to someone else. You're putting him in a very awkward position.
MC

* Warning Fantasy Footbsll post *

Nate, Hines Ward is injured, he won't be playing this weekend. I want to be sure and beat you fair and square!

Did I miss something? Who compared the Skins to the Steelers? And why would anybody care?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Sheesh do I get nervous about not jinxing ...
should be 4 fumbles total (btwn the two teams) and Betts/Portis each HAVE a rushing TD

Figure all of that is non-jinxing, but depending on how the rest of the game is played ...

#@*%!!!! dcsween, you're covered.

Heath,
Yup good old ebay I didnt have high hopes on it, but when it came in it had the tags still on it. I was quite pleased.

"Don't make Coach Joe angry.....you wouldn't like him when he's angry"

Maybe that intensity will carry over to the second half on Sunday!

Man, this reminds me of an encounter I had with Coach Gibbs during the 1991 SB season. (and Stev Buckhantz telling Gibbs b4 the 91 season that Playboy mag., had picked them to win it all) I was shooting a "inspirational" video at Redskins Park (the old park) with some players and coaches, to be used for a firm that was having a meeting at Lansdowne. The Skins were still undefeateded at that time, with the Cardinals on deck. The question was asked of Gibbs of "how he thought they would do against the Cardinals". Gibbs was gratious as ever to the Cards, "tough game, division opponent" etc.. I somehow got the courage to speak up just as he was finishing his sentence with "If WE RUN THE BALL". DOH! Gibbs got instantly out of his cherub face and looked me straight in the eye and said "what?" I had no choice but to repeat the stupid stupid statement. I thought right at that moment how serious this man really is. How intense. I could see him choking the life out of me right then and there.
Best part is, I have it all on tape. I have only had the courage to show this embarrassing moment to a select few...and then only once.
I told Joe Gibbs to run the ball.

SAK,

Last thing, do you have a sellers name? I might interested. I am done. I was very impressed with the jersey.

Gibbs is on steroids.

Oh how i hate Emmitt Smith and MeShawn.

Cool stat I found on the website of one of the Detroit Papers ...

ARE averages 21.6 yards per catch ... and that leads the league with players with more than nine catches. [Some guy with two catches has a higher average.]

Jasno:

just had to go over the r.c to check out the tirade . . .

Made me think of t efollowing

A 15-yard pass play, first down. . .
An 11-yard run, another first down. . .
Balance, balance, balance, priceless. . .

Oh man, it's on this weekend. Pound them into submission Redskins. Have a good weekend all.

I think it has their other items listed on there.

Non skins-related post. A while ago there was a discussion about what other NFL teams do in terms of encouraging 'unofficial' web sites to cover them.

Miami totally sucks at football right now, but at least they're giving the fans a chance to feel a part of the suckage.

http://phinfever.com/news.php

Thanks man! It is a little different than mine. But NICE!

HTTR

Rocky MacIntosh, near the top of the second round, was the 7th outside LB picked in the 2006 draft. There were a TON of good OLBs in that draft.

The second OLB picked, Ernie Sims, was picked 9th in that draft, and he leads the Lions in tackles. This week, Sims said this as he talked about Washington QB Jason Campbell: "As a linebacker corps, I really believe that we've just got to read the quarterback's eyes and break on him because I think we're going to have a lot of opportunities to have some interceptions."

For his own good, Mr. Sims should be cursing like a swinging soul because he has JINXED himself and his fellow LBs. JINX!

Breaking News

Santana interviewed in the locker room today on http://www.redskins.com and sounded like he will play. Said he feels "great."

Thanks for the heads up, Redcoat. I care so little about the fantasy matchup, relative to the real game the Skins are about to play. But I do appreciate it.

(And best of luck to your fantasy team, to look as good as possible in a losing effort.)

I just give Emmitt credit for correctly naming one of the two teams.

No problem Nate.

You must realize that even at this early juncture in the season fantasy football is probably more meanigful to me than my senselessly irrational Dolphins addiction.

What a thrill it is to feel out of the running by week 5....

SMACK, even you have to admit that Emmitt has about as much in common with coherent thought as Joe Gibbs does with Travis Henry.

That sounds good from moss, although being listed as doubtful isnt good. Have a good weekend guys. HTTR

And with that lame jibe I wish you bon chance this weekend. Catch you on the flip side guys.

Miami Dolphins: Lust for Mediocrity!

Going from Moss-ARE-Thrash-Lloyd to Thrash-ARE-McCardell-Caldwell, the Skins' WR corps gets three inches taller.

I guess it doesn't bother anybody that Old Coach Joe DID -- repeat, DID -- say the "70% run" line to George Michael last week on George's show, and then SCREAMED at the reporter today that he'd NEVER said that.

So Coach was stone cold wrong. He said it. I guess he didn't REMEMBER saying it, but it's not very smart to get all shirty about something that you actually DID SAY, clear as day.

Gipped1984, I enjoyed your story. Maybe you wanna post that video up on the wiki??

Holy SKJ! Fear St. Joe, fear the Reaper! Game time baby!

Correction,
SJK. I've got Jla's spelling disease today. Sorry.

"We need to get A win someWAY, and it's going to take every swinging soul we've got."

Would have been hilarious if he said "We need to get A win someWAY, and it's going to take every swinging richard we've got."

IT'S ABOUT F'N TIME!!!

I want 80's Gibbs back, and this might be as close as we will get.

i dont care if gibbs lies every week. if that's what it takes to light a fire under his a$$ and actually get pissed in the locker room to intimidate his players, then so be it.

Mr. Beer Connoisseur in the PDX- Are you lurking out there anywhere?

I live! And I stopped by in time for Ornery Joe--Bonus!

It's driving me nuts that I can't read all the posts or the comments right now, but work is SJK SJK and my internet connection at home hasn't got a swinging soul to stand on. So basically, it's no redskirt for now. dcsween, Nate, Zebra, I read your "best reader comments" in the paper edition of the Sports section every morning on the Metro and wish I could be here with you all.

HTTR! I'll be wearing my signed JC jersey on Sunday.

OK then. I'll take that as a no.

Sweet Swinging Soul, HTTR!!

The Eagles who couldnt stop GMEN setting Nfl record 12 sacks put up 56 pts on the Lions.So if the skins cant Dominate then no matter how much kool-aide this blog SUCKS down THE PARTY WILL BE OVER!!

PDX, glad you enjoyed it. And, thanks for the request to post the video but, I must decline. I would like to save that one for family only.

If I ever change my mind, I will let all of you know when and where I post it.

Go Skins!!!

Who cares if Gibbs contradicted himself..."you-play-to-win-the-game!" and we're trying to get to the "...playoffs!...playoffs!(mickey mouse voice)! and if we don't beat the Lions then, "they were who we thought they were", and then we'll need more practice..."we're talkin' about practice...not a game, practice." If we don't practice..."well...5-11...not very good"(in a hillbilly drawl)

Last night's "The Office" was brilliant. Oh man, so F-ing brilliant.

I wonder what soul swinging looks like from afar. You know how you look across the street and you see someone jamming to their iPod and they look like idiots, but they don't know that they're even doing it? Somehow that's what I'm thinking soul swinging is like. Is it more of a sideways-sideways-arms swaying motion, or more of a bop-up-and-down-arms-flying motion?

How can I be St. Joe for Halloween without knowing such things?

Diddy...did you see "Sanford and Son"?

"Lionel! The big one! It's the big one, Lionel!"

Any Photoshop geeks willing to jump on the "Soul Swinging" case?

I'm an old skool hip hop fan and a 70's baby... and I swear I've been listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen and it's one of my favorite songs of all time (Queen too!) They are the rock version of Earth, Wind and Fire!!! RIP to Freddie Mercury.

Diddy...do you mean "Lamont"???

Queen rocks. Anybody who can't appreciate Freddy Mercury is a philistine. "Killer Queen" and "Somebody to Love" are my personal favorites.

YES! Lamont! Aaaargh. And I got the "What's Happenin'" episode confused the other day as well...I SWORE Rerun was secretly taping KISS, but, of course, I now remember that it was The Doobie Brothers.

KISS showed up on "CHiPs".

That's what we need from gibbs. No more grandpa. Time for war

It's about f-ing time!

I still think "Sly and the Family Stone" is the blueprint.

I also love "Earth, Wind, and Fire" and, of course, "The Who". I love all the newer bands, too (across all genres)...but if you can't appreciate classic rock, again, you are a philistine :-)

Wow! Just watched the clip! (can't get it at work...) WOW~! I'm so psyched.

Joe is so psyched! crrrraaazy ready for this game.

HAIL!

guess i am a phillistine on queen...every time i hear philistine i think about the movie "The Squid and the Whale"

my brother...

Diddy Office did rule last night...30 rock had moments...glad Sienfeld Vision is behind us....

Chris Larry - you have to watch Sunny in Philly !! to f'n crazy to believe.

That's what we need from gibbs. No more grandpa. Time for war

Think Farstriker will find this in his next translation?

Make it so!

Drinking at my friends house. Redskirt, have i been featured? Either way, go Indians!

I'll have to go back and check but I'm pretty sure it was either Wednesday or Thursday. Work-SJK has kind of made the days blur together this week...

I think bigfish let me know. it was about Betts not being a complimentary back, but a good replacement.

I dont know of any others. I dont live too near DC, so the post print edition is hard to get to.

If there are others, then hooray me!

I just picked up The Band (1969) on CD. This is some amazing sjk, and it was just not working out trying to play the record in the car.

EW&F, awesome. In line to pay at Borders, I saw that someone had ditched an EWF CD atop some pumpkin carving literature, and I almost bought it. But I am not a big greatest hits guy. My wife and I were at an EWF show once, and we were shakin' it so good that we received the ultimate complement. A black couple came up and invited us to their church. Sadly, I don't church.

I just had to post after 6pm to cement my loser status.

Total loser - I'm down.

que es EWF?

Earth Wind & Fire. And while I'm typing one more non-Skins question.

Why did Marion Jones pick now to speak up? Guilty conscience or was the sjk about to hit the fan? Anyone know?

earth wind and fuego amigo

Don't think we'll be needing this. http://www.bangcartoon.com/2007/norvaway.htm

Dony know sween. i bet you wont hear about the findings if there were any. She nipped it in the bud. suspicious. gotta be something coming out that she is covering.

Sorry, I meant SMACK

SMACK,

She had to enter a guilty plea in court today to fibbing about using performance enhancing drugs, and I wanna say there was a bank fraud charge as well.

I'm gonna start up a joint called smacktunes, to compete with itunes and the new Amazon thing. It is going to be $9250 per song.

I have now been mistaken for sween and Nate up here. I must be getting better at this.

Well, im drunk so i forget easily

Just don't mistake me for MVDame, because I look nothing like that chick.

BTW, usually when Fred Sanford was having "the big one", he was not saying Lamont or Lionel, he was looking up at the ceiling and saying 'Lisbeth, I'm coming to see you.

You see, his wife had...

go Skins

I will try to succinctly address the globs of posts that I have missed:

1. I love soccer (seriously). Can never have enough soccer posts.

2. The Office has disappointed so far this season.

3. Lamont and Elizabeth = Sanford and Son
Lionel = The Jeffersons

4. It is after 6PM. You draw your own conclusions.

5. Redskins w/out Moss this weekend is too frightening for me to think about.

6. BALANCE!

Hey yo, happy Friday night, everybody.

Very jealous tonight... my dad and my big bro (live in NoVA) are going to the game on Sunday!

HAIL HAIL HAIL

I'm fired up like Coach Joe...

Coach Joe - throw some chairs! We are so gonna win like I said so cause I said so!

Umm I'd rather Oye Como doesn't play and heals the hammy more otherwise we risk a total season loss . . . . I'm smacking my own dam head for saying it out loud.

And very happy to report that some of us are on the west coast posting after 6pm local time... if you're gonna crown us, crown us.

OH MY GAWD - just watched Coach Joe presser AWESOME! BALANCE YOU MUTHAS BALANCE! BALANCE BALANCE!

Every Swingin' Soul! I love it. I loved it in Jota-La's post and I love it even more LIVE in person!

Hang on baby jesus it's about to get bumpy up here!

Hey Jasno,

I've been an insulin dependant diabetic for 30 years now and I'll be dollars to donuts that Joe's blood sugar was low when he was addressing the press today. Low blood sugar makes people very cranky and cause disjointed speech.

Of course it's also possible he was just pissed.

SHHEEOOOTT I am so fired up!

I say they play that sucka on the jumbotron at FedEx afore the game and get the crowd going.

I'm hosting a dinner party at, uh, a restaurant because I'm too lazy to be bothered cooking today. That and I've elected into a bet with some chick (some crazy chick!) to see which of the two of us can go longer through the month without drinking. I already feel like SJK. Whoever came up with sobriety as a concept is a SJK.

All of that said, GREAT clip of St. Joe. I'm psyched!

'Skins 77, Lions 3. It'll give us something to SJK about on Monday. "Fire Man Boobs! 3 points! What a loser!" Oh, and should we trade Betts to Tampa Bay?

And you know what else has lit a fire in my pants . . . no I'm not taking Valtrex . . . it's fleet week aqui en San Francisco which means the Blue Angels are performing which means I watched them zoom above the city for practice today as I drove home and I get to see them zoom about tomorrow. It totally kicks A$$!

Hey Nate,
So who do you think were the best Skins #80 and in what order?

Stephen Alexander
Roy Jefferson
Virgil Seay
Desmond Howard

Who am I forgetting?

The other great thing, sfskin, is that Fleet Week brings sailors to the Castro. Get out there and shake it, girl!

Back when my seats were in the front row, I remember Stephen Alexander came up into the stands from the field during warmups to hug his wife and newborn kid.

Stephen Alexander's wife was, of course, THE star of "MILF Island".

ESPN insider advanced scouting report:

Will the Detroit passing attack be too much for the Washington defense?

The Lions' offense is based on QBJon Kitna throwing the ball to a talented stable of wide receivers. Wideouts Roy Williams, Mike Furrey, and Shaun McDonald have been very productive this season in offensive coordinator Mike Martz's passing attack, and the offense will continue to produce as long as the offensive line is able to keep Washington defenders off Kitna. Redskins' defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has seen the tape from last weekend's win over Chicago and knows that pressure on Kitna will affect the productivity of Detroit's offense.

Another factor that will dictate how well Kitna does this Sunday is the Redskins' secondary, led by FS Sean Taylor. They have had a week to get talented players like CBs Shawn Springs, Carlos Rogers and Fred Smoot and rookie SS LaRon Landry healthy and come up with a scheme to confuse Kitna and give the Detroit offense looks it's not accustomed to seeing. The Redskins defense will be ready for Jon Kitna and the passing game on Sunday.

Can the Lions stop Clinton Portis and the Redskins' running game?
The Detroit defensive, line led by DTs Shaun Rogers and Cory Redding, is capable of denting the line of scrimmage and keeping Portis' yards to a minimum. The Lions have improved against the run in the past few weeks but their biggest test of the season is coming this week. The Redskins' offensive line has been playing well as a unit has had the bye week to get even more in sync. Washington is a top-10 rushing offense on the strength of offensive line coach Joe Bugel's tried and true counter and power gap schemes as well as inside and outside zone plays. The line is disciplined in its technique and the Redskins do a solid job of controlling time of possession with the running game. It will be difficult for Detroit LBs Boss Bailey and Paris Lenon to stop Portis, who should get 100-plus yards against an overmatched defense.

How can Detroit better its chances to win?
The Lions chances of winning the game will increase if they get the ground game going. It's true that Detroit has won three games practically without running the football, but Martz and head coach Rod Marinelli have to find a way to eat up more of the clock and keep the defense off the field. Throwing the ball as much as the Lions do makes for shorter possessions. The Lions don't have to rush for 200 yards to win this game, just make Washington aware that they're capable of being productive. That will make the Redskins respect the running game and open up more play-action, and the more things the Redskins have to worry about the less time they have to concentrate on what the Lions do best, which is throw the ball.

Scouts' Edge

The bye week will pay off for the Redskins at home against the Lions. After performing the usual self-scout during week off Washington should improve in all facets of the game. The team that controls the clock should win this game and the Redskins have the better running game and are more capable of doing that. Washington QB Jason Campbell is improving every week and getting more comfortable with the offense and the two weeks the Redskins have had to game plan for the Lions will help him.

Detroit pass for a lot of yards and Kitna will get the ball to his playmakers. The Lions will move the ball down the field but the Washington defense will keep them from finishing drives with touchdowns. The Redskins will play well at home this weekend and should get their third win of the season.

Prediction: Redskins 28, Lions 23

Would you put Desmond Howard ahead of Laveranues Coles? Hmm... a couple of nice catches Sunday, and McCardell jumps both of them...

And my vote for #1 #80 is Virgil Seay.

Just don't mistake me for MVDame, because I look nothing like that chick.

SMACK, don't hate me cause I'm beautiful...

Speaking of great 80's:

Do you remember that time Desmond Howard downed a punt at like the opponent's 3 or 4 yard line by catching it cleanly? Wow. That was awesome. He's definitely the number one 80 in my book...

Jasno's soccer/family post was genius. Even the timing.

This post is great.

And both show how overrated spelling, mechanics, and usage rules are. Boy knows how to write to the gut.

=============================

Confidential to redskirt (big shout-out to Ann Landers):

That's what we need from gibbs. No more grandpa. Time for war

Posted by: POC | October 5, 2007 07:22 PM

Yeah boy.

Ok, good, I didn't even recall that Coles was 80.

Yes, as a Skin, his production was definitely beyond that of all four of those guys.

Agreed?

Dame in DC, how's it going, dude? Feel good to be on the mainland?

So, I am still finding myself thinking of the Giants game and the last two plays from the one and we can't get it in.

So I say to myself what Redskins would I have rather had in the game for those two last plays?
How about Joe Jacoby and Russ Grimn on the left side?

Actually back on the Island right now, Nate Dogg. The Swamp (sf's term) was great, but up here for the weekend before I head out to Cali for a week.

The hardest part about DC and my new place was the sporadic internet access and, thus, infrequent and limited BMGO time...

Ray, how about Lachey, Grimm, Bostic, Schlereth, and Simmons, with Jacoby off the bench?

:-)

Gawd the Daily Show is so genius!

MV - we have plans to make I believe.

Agreed. That was a fun exercise, Ray.

Let's rank Redskin #86'ers next, since that's the number Reche Caldwell will be wearing... I imagine we'll be seeing him a bit on Sunday as well, though it seems McCardell has leapfrogged him...

Ahh P Diddy you are thinking of the 91 team?
Jacoby actually started at RT
Somebody help me out here, what I can't recall is by the 91 season was Bostic starting C or was Raleigh McKenzie?

I vote Stephen Alexadner as best #80. Didn't he go onto Denver and have a solid if not florid career?

You know it becomes confusing after awhile because Bugel over the years had
Jacoby at LT ,and RT
McKenzie at LG and C
Grimm at C then LG
Bostic I think was always C

So for the 91 team I "think" it was
Lachey, McKenzie, Bostic, Schlereth, Jacoby
And off the bench were
G- Grimm [he was losing it his last few years]
T- Simmons

Am I missing anyone?

I believe McKenzie started, but Bostic played quite a bit. Was Jacoby on that team as well?

I was thinking more of: "all time favorite Hogs", but 1991 team works for me as well. 11 sacks allowed (3 of which were in that final Philly game).

Miracle of The Google: http://www.thehogs.net/content/story.php?id=75

sfskin, last night's "The Daily Show" was AWESOME.

Was it '87 or '91 where Bostic was on the bench and then won starting spot?

I feel like once Bostic was a starter he stayed that way till retirment.

Gonna go look it up.

Hang on baby jesus it's about to get bumpy up here!

Posted by: sfskin | October 5, 2007 09:40 PM

I'm going to save this for the next time some a$$clown asks why a cowboys fan lives on this blog.

Why the SJK does a cowpoke fan live on this blog?

'91 / Bandwagon / Russ "The Flea" Grimm. F the Patriots throwing TDs to LBs (barf)... we were throwing to an old guard!

Ah, memories...

It was 87 when Grimm was injured and Raleigh McKenzie did a good job and Buges decided to not change it though Grimm was said to be back and healthy ready for Super Bowl vs. Denver.
I recall announcers talking about it on TV and thinking that had to be agoniznig for Grimm.

Someone help me here:
LT Jacoby
LG McKenzie
C Bostic
RG Theilmann
RT May

Is that right?
I watched the game about a month ago on my old VHS tape that I recorded that night.
I should have said I watched "the quarter" just for fun.
It was fun!!!

To paraphrase Jasno, bigger forces than us at work here, my friend.

I just watched Coach Joe on Redskins.com today's q/a.

he was joking around with that goofy laugh and then one question seemed to change his mood. he was markedly intense and he seemed to grow increasingly frustrated with with the questions.

The question that began the transition for Coach Joe?

A question about .........................
drum roll please..........................
"the receiver, Brandon Lloyd".

Anyone else see the change in Coach Joe as visibly?

Okay here are the starters for SB 1991

LT Lachey
LG McKenzie
C Bostic
RG Schlereth
RT Jacoby

Now not sure this was it at start of the season but Bostic played 16 games and so I think McKenzie spelled him at C on certain plays but he was starter.

BTW I'm sure this is a creampuff question but name the punter on that '91 team.

And we kicked the Leo's arses 45-0 in game 1! REPEAT!

In all honesty I had forgotten Sfskin
But I also watched the first half of that SB victory over the Bills as well recently.

So, I saw him and therefore do remember it was Kelley Goodburn

Great memories though, huh sfskin?
Wilber Marshall was an animal in that first half! Man, fun to watch!

I just ate what must be the equivalent of the entire Gilroy garlic crop. Good thing I'm on a dateless streak.

sjky sjkt, the kid who stole that baseball is already signing autographs?

I looooove driving through Gilroy when the garlic is in the air (or is it that way all the time?). I'm a big garlic fan.

Hey sfskin,
Yes, I recall that was a Sunday night game in week one, right?
Don't remember any particulars but one, didn't Mitchell return a kick for a TD?

45-0 that was a great year!

RRay - yep great memories, I think they've been keeping us all going for 15 years.

And you win a new Roomba! Kelly Goodburn indeed. Easy paycheck for him that season.

Sadly Ray I was at college and it was waaaayy before Sunday ticket so I caught only a few games that season. My memories are all a jumble from beer and seeing many of the games on tape over the years.

Smack - what kid? what ball? The little shti who stole the game from Orioles back in the 90s and sent them down the long road of doom?

No no sfskin, not quite that dramatic, but a kid in Boston just picked a fly foul ball out of the 1st baseman's glove, saving an out. A few people began swooning, but it seems to have passed. It's on TBS if you can find that amid the channel universe.

I've been catching up on all the posts from today and I have to say I'm amazed at the amount of disrespect directed at Gibbs. I just don't understand it. Maybe it's because I suffered for years before He came along and delivered 3 superbowl championship teams in 9 years.

Let me ask you this: Would you rather we have Norv, Marty, or Spurrier leading the Skins? I think not. What has Gibbs done for this organization since his return?

1. instant credibility
2. hope
3. playoff win
4. consistency

I'll be the 1st to admit I had higher hopes and we have not achieved as much as we hoped for. But remember, Gibbs inherited a team in disarray, and he has turned it around and has them on the right track. So lighten up and enjoy him while he's here. A few years from now you may be reminiscing about the halcyon days during Gibbs tenure.

Wasn't that kids name Jeffrey Mayer

Redskin Ray,

In my humble opinion, Wilbur Marshall was the missing ingredient. Once he joined the Skins, good things happened. He was incredible. My lasting image of him is seeing him airborne, parallel to the ground, delivering a knockout blow. How we got him from the da Bears was criminal(plan B).

Hey Cosmofla,
I too love Coach Joe
In my post I was just pointing out to me a clear transition for him today was the Brandon Lloyd q.
He got really serious when he answered that one, and it was an intense coach Joe from that moment on...

I love Coach for bringing us the victories, and yes, I do recall the winning days of George Allen, the three years of jack pardee, and I even recall as a little kid, Lombardi and Bill Austin.

You live in FL?

Charley Casserly was the best at getting guys via Plan B, but actually we got Wilber via 2 1RD picks!!!

We won the SB so had the last pick and figured we could get rid of two of them for Wilber.

sfskin,
You were in college for SB 22 or 26?
I was married and have videos of both of those games taped.

However, I have looked and cannot find a copy of SBVII vs. Miami!!
Yep, you guessed it, I was in college!!
Haven't ever seen the game since just a couple of plays on highlights.

I even contacted Redskins.com pleading with them to put the game on DVD but they never responded.

Anyway you know I can get my hands on that game to see it?

Ray, I do live in Florida, Port St Lucie. Are you in Florida?

I had the good fortune to meet Coach Lombardi as a kid while playing CYO ball. Larry Brown was there as well. I remember Allen and Pardee. But my lasting memory of the Allen era is losing to the Dolphins(the bain of my existence). What sweet revenge beating them for our 1st championship. Didn't Pardee have cancer?

Yes, Pardee had cancer when playing for the Rams, had to miss a season or two and then returned.

I recall when he was with the Skins they referenced this frequently.

Yep, in FL as well.
have to follow the Skins by web site reading, and listening to games on webcast.
I don't want to pay for NFL Ticket
