Daily Slop: RIP Clyde Shugart

by Kevin Ewoldt on Jul 15, 2009 9:01 AM EDT in Daily Slop

Former Redskins Clyde Shugart passes away at age 92 [redskins.com] [cyclones]

He was a nasty pulling guard and helped clear the way for runners like Wilbur Moore and Bob Seymour. His Redskin teams went to the NFL title game in the 1940, 1942 and 1943 seasons

Eagles Insider releases their power rankings [scout.com]
(Shocker...Eagles ranked #2 and Redskins #28)

Job opening with Redskins - Manager of Ticket Operations [teamwork]
(I guess they need this now that the waiting list is kaput)

Cassell receives $13 million less signing bonus than Stafford [espn]
(This is what's broken with the NFL...Cassell threw for 3,700 more yards than Stafford last year)

Jason Taylor does Q&A with SB Nation Dolphons' blog [Phinsider]
(Stays professional and takes the high road)

Matty: You clearly didn't perform up to your usual standards last season in Washington. What do you attribute your "un-JT-like" 2008 to? Was it your injury? Was it the system or your role in the system? Or wasn't something else altogether?

Jason: "Well, I really don’t believe in making excuses, so let me start with that. Mr. Snyder and the Redskins paid me a lot of money to perform at a high level and regardless of the circumstances it was my job to deliver. There were, however, some contributing factors because it’s never just one thing that leads to a player’s success or struggles. I did get hurt and had to deal with two in-season surgeries, which really presented a challenge, especially since I had gone so long without missing a game. As for the system, a lot of teams have had a lot of success running a system similar to what the Redskins run, so I can’t be critical of it. Having said that, I am excited to be playing in the system we are running here in Miami."

Eagles #2, Redskins #28

Are you F’ing kidding me, even I’m a homer when it come to the Skins and DC teams but give me a break!

There is no way Eagles Insider can ever be looked at as a credible source for anyone.

Did I miss something?? Where did all this eagles insider talk come from?? The article in question came from a Houston texans blog.

Well...

Well, the article is on the Eagles page…looks like it could be anybody tho. Not sure where CHris is from tho he lives in FL now.

On this homepage, they also list the Redskins top 10 prospects…interesting that Rinehart made it. I didn’t think anyone outside of Washington had ever heard of him.

while it cooould be from anywhere the “hou.scout.com” in the address and the “battle red nation” logo on top makes it a pretty safe bet its from a houston texans website.

interesting that Rinehart made it. I didn’t think anyone outside of Washington had ever heard of him.

believe it or not, not all national media members are complete hacks. I dont know if Chris Steuber covers the whole league or just specializes on the NFCeast but either way I think of him as a real smart guy and value his opinions.

Was really surprised to see him list D.Thomas (2) over Orakpo (3) on the prospects list. Ild swap those two and swap Kelly (7) and Barnes (9) if it was my list.

What makes the Chargers #3???

I forgot to include this in the Slop…but a teenager beat Phillip Rivers in a QB drill in his own camp…

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Philip-Rivers-gets-beat-by-a-high-schooler-does?urn=nfl,176581

Chargers are good…but they’re not even the #3 team in the AFC. I like how this guy took chances…you have to do that, but the Seahawks at #12 is a head scratcher. They’re on year #1 of a new coach and I can’t even name one of their RBs. Julius Jones?

Did Phillip Rivers confiscate the video or did Nike take care of it for him?

Yea...

Thanks..I hadn’t seen the Chive one. We can see the referring webpage sites that come to Hogs Haven…so I was following closely that day….the SI.com one set a record for our site that day. Over 35K visitors that day alone….it was close w/ the Vinny Cerrato gmail one which was like 31K.

I haven’t thought of the next great one yet…
