Graph of the day.

It's the economy, stupid.

Times are tough out there. Unemployment is rising, houses aren't selling and even the morons from Detroit are looking for handouts.

If you happen to find yourself short on cash, get creative and try something like this.

Skins sign former Pro Bowler who sucks.

I hate it when we sign guys who used to be good, but now suck. Like this dickhead. Quick background on Mr. DeAngelo Hall:

He was a very fast person when he was younger
He and good friend Mike Vick enjoy wholesome pitbull related activities
He was cut by the Raiders
He is a fucking douche
He fucking sucks

Our newest Redskin was drafted really high (8th overall) to Atlanta. He would go on to become over-hyped due to his track speed and make a couple pro-bowls. I say over hyped since like an Irishman at the beach, he can't stop getting burned.

On the upside, we have invested "only" 492k (for 7 games). Hopefully he will not earn a long term deal from our very disciplined front office in that short time span.

I also hope that 33 year old Sean Springs actually finds his way off the couch and on onto the field.

Pic of the day.

The funny thing is, I am about 98% sure that this was actually done by my good friend who may or may not have attended school in Canada. If this isn't his work, then someone is egregiously ripping off his style.

Break yourself, fool!

Tomorrow I am paying for the privilege to run around in the woods of Leesburg, VA avoiding high speed projectiles (about 200mph). Kinda of like this guy, except with less padding and no wages.

Psyc! I am totally gonna light up any bamma that steps to me. Kinda like Omar, only slightly . . . no fuck that, exactly like Omar (ok, without the gay part).

I've never played before, but just the chance of seeing the below scenario play out is worth it:
If a player’s mask falls off during a game, he should immediately lie face down on the ground, and yell "Mask!" or "Goggles!" to alert game officials and other players to discontinue play until the player is able to replace their goggles.

"Goggles!!!"

This kid will go far.

Great pizza commercial or greatest pizza commercial of all time?

You decide.

Big spenders.

It tends to bother me when poorly informed fans or sports writers mention the fact that the Redskins spend sooo much money; occasionally they even liken us to the highest payroll team in America, the Yankees.

Some quick facts to bring up when you hear some moron making this 'argument'

1. In the NFL, there is a hard salary cap, meaning all teams can 'only' spend 116,729,000 per year on Player Salaries. Even though teams like though the Skins and Giants play in large, affluent markets and thus generate much more revenue than small market teams (such as the Cincinnati Bengals) we have the same limit to how much we can pay our players.

The MLB has no such cap which makes it all the more impressive when a small payroll team like the Rays ($44M) reach the World Series and win more games than the much higher salaried Yanks ($209M) and Sox ($133M).

2. The Redskins are noticeably absent from the following list; meaning we do not employ a single player in the top 20 highest paid players.

Bottom line: there exists a difference between what a team earns (revenue) and what they spend on player's (payroll expense). Please do not confuse the two when talking about teams subject to a hard salary cap (see addition reading for more salary cap goodness).
