Year in Review: Our Best Stories from 2009

Well, 2009 was a fun ride and in regards to the Redskins performance, one I don't hope to repeat. Ken and I started this venture 11 months ago, and we have come a long way from the day we took over the Hogs Haven reins from Will Allensworth. SB Nation has been a fantastic company to work with and I look forward to what lies ahead in 2010. The Redskins' organization has been fantastic providing us a credential for OTAs and training camp. We got a first hand experience of the team and the great personalities that make up the Redskins' roster. Most NFL teams block access to the team except for the major newspapers, so in that degree, the Redskins deserve credit and a sincere thanks from me.

Our first big break was when I got to meet Ted Leonsis. He laid out his 10-point plan of how to build a franchise, which I fittingly compared to the mis-management of the Redskins. That post did amazingly well and gave us immediate legitimacy. In the next 12 months we got to chat with Marion Barry, Joe Theismann, Robert Henson, Tiger Woods, Butch Davis, Larry Coker, Michael Lombardi, Phillip Daniels & Santana Moss, Darrell Green, Albert Haynesworth's agent and car wreck victim's lawyer, Tom Tupa's Dad, Max Zendejas, Todd Husak, Ali Haji-Sheikh, and Bill Simmons.
