PrintWe decided to put the video up front...brief notes after the jump.
Here you go:
Some of you are getting your wish today...fewer words from me in this column. But be careful what you wish for--instead you get a video dose of me. Like many of you, Kevin and I love few things more than drinking beer and talking about sports. Our normal meeting place, Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda, MD was the setting and the Redskins were the main topic of our first attempt to put out what will hopefully become a regular feature of Hogs Haven. We called it "Hogs Haven Live", but "Ghetto Fabulous Drinky Time Sports Hour" is creeping up the list of possible replacements.
In this episode, we invited Danny Rouhier, of www.funnydanny.com to join us as our first guest panelist (@funnydanny on Twitter.) His videos have been regularly posted on our site and we consider him to be very much the video face of our Revolution.
We also are extremely grateful to Taylor Young, of Riot Scene Pictures, for his expertise both behind the camera as well as in the cutting room. We probably put close to an hour of show on tape and we pleaded with Taylor to please find 10 good minutes. What follows is roughly 9 minutes of wonderfully mediocre banter.
We had a few good topics but I think we were a little too hesitant to bash each other or disagree. We also were not nearly drunk enough.
The bar was at times extremely quiet and at other times insanely loud. For all you film buffs out there, take it easy on our amateur on-air abilities. We will get better. Or we will at least drink more beforehand next time.
Production note: You might wonder why I can't keep a straight face at times (in fact it looks like I am being tickled under the table on a few shots.) I wish I could say it had nothing to do with the inappropriate sexual gestures people were making around me the entire time. I wish I could say that.

No kidding
We have to remember that this ain’t ESPN. We don’t work for Disney and our audience is a bunch of dudes who—when they aren’t visiting Hogs Haven—are watching absurd amounts of porn and stupid comedies.
We can’t compete with porn, but we CAN be stupid!

Dan Lefevour
is fun to watch. Its also interesting that Notre Dame decided not to go to a bowl because they were projected to be in a bowl game vs. Central Michigan. I don’t know how he will fare in the league though, because those MAC defenses aren’t the best in the world.
Regardless, we shouldn’t be spending our 1st or 2nd round pick on a QB. Period.
I was really high on Tebow
until that game. I thought his fire and leadership more than made up for his poor arm strength. He was just mentally out of it. Oh well, Roll Tide.
I think he will be successful, but I agree that the Skins would somehow manage to screw it up.
Successful as what though?

Well Done
fellas. That is a feature I can get into. certainly better than watching Larry Michael and his horrid show. If you get desperate for guests, count me in.
I would also add that as far as blowing up the team for draft picks goes, I would prefer to keep most of the defense around. Let Rogers go and find a replacement there, but I have no complaints with that unit (aside from some tackling issues that always appear). I think that we could even do without Fat Al, but that is not a tradable situation.
How good would Landry be with ST playing next to him? The possibilities make me sad.
Solution: Draft Eric Berry
A favorite quote around Hogs Haven:
Snyderrato never learn, so based on what we’ve done in the past…
Well based on the past, the Redskins have loved drafting the phenom safeties coming out of the draft. Two of the past five first round draft picks have been safeties, two of the top three overall drafted safeties ever. Eric Berry is about to come close to that, projected 5-10. An Ed Reed clone playing FS would let LaRon Landry move back to SS….
And there are 4-6 highly ranked OT’s available right around our second round pick for those worried about the line.
(Note: As much as I’d love this scenario, I’m still hoping for Okung in the first)
holy sh-t really? you just made my morning.
(not that we’ll draft one)
And there are 4-6 highly ranked OT’s available right around our second round pick for those worried about the line.

Sorry, I meant OG's
It’s hard to list them by ranking, since they’ll change dozens of times till the draft, but they are (somewhat in order):
Mike Iupati
Jon Asamoah
Mike Johnson
Sergio Render
John Jerry
Brandon Carter
where is Okung slated to go? early-ish first?
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
most definitely
If he’s gone before we can get him (pray to god he’s not, but it very possible) I say go with Ciron Black.

Top 10 pick.
- ranked tackle.
But let me reiterate, that is as of now
Example: Brian Orakpo was a top 5 pick at this point last year. He won every defensive award he could and had a solid combine, nothing to take away from that. But as other players’ stock gets inflated (ie. Sanchez), strong strength at numerous positions, and how team needs aligned (more important in the top 10-15), he managed to drop to us at 13.
All that said, with numerous teams looking for a new QB face to build around, I think he goes around 7.
