Matching Simpsons Characters with Redskins Players

What do you do when you love two very different things? Put them together. It worked with Red Bull and Vodka, Jack and Coke, so why not the Simpsons and Redskins? When my mind drifted off the other day, it came to me how much Haynesworth reminded me of Barney Gumble. Lazy, fat, bumbling...soon after more and more Redskins fell into place. What's ironic is that Barney isn't even the best fit for #92 (see after the jump). Behold are my 25 Redskins to Simpsons characters. I'm looking forward to the comments (additionial entries) for this one and special thanks to a couple of my friends who contributed to this as well (jayisthemac).

Character Description Redskin
Duffman
Duffman_medium 

Athletic smooth-talker who wears tight clothes and drinks heavily.

Both have scored multiple cheerleaders. OH YEAAH.

Captain Chaos
Chris-cooley_medium
Principal Skinner
Skinner_medium 

The head principal who lacks authority, is the primary subject of mockery, and at the end of the day is left to think of better days in the past. With Skinner, it was ‘Nam – and with Cerrato Notre Dame and San Fran.

Can't you just picture the Redskins owner yelling "VINNNNY!!" the same way Super Nintendo Chalmers yelled "SKINNER!"

Vinny Cerrato
Cerrato_medium 
Disco Stu
Discostu_medium 
Not much explaining needed here. Clinton Portis
Clinton-portis_medium 

Star-divide

Fat Tony
Fat-tony_large_medium
Physical leader of the group. Doesn't let anyone push around his mates. Al Haynesworth (2009)
Albert_haynesworth-mad_medium
Comic Book Store guy
Comicbook_medium
Fat, annoying, and doesn't have any friends..."Worst Contract...Ever!"

Al Haynesworth (2010)
Albert-haynesworth_medium

Johnny Tightlips

"I ain't sayin' nothin'!" Mike Shanahan
Shanahan_medium
Gil
Simpsons_gil_medium
Always getting fired from potential jobs. Ole Gil never catches a break! Marcus Mason
Marcus-mason_medium

Dr. Nick Riveria
Drnick_medium 

The Redskins had more injuries than I ever want to remember..10 on IR by mid-December 2009. Players mentioned the program was a joke, and the Strength staff as a result was over-hauled. John Hastings
(Head Strength & Conditioning coach 2006-9)
John_hastings_medium
Lenny
Lenny_medium
Has a high-level expetrise in his field, yet his naive actions are what shine through at work and in life. Steve Spurrier
Steve-spurrier_medium
Karl
Karl_medium
The no non-sense type and often gets annoyed with Lenny. Marvin Lewis
Marvin-lewis_medium
Hans Moleman
Moleman_medium
Although apparently elderly, claims he is much younger than he is. Joey Galloway
Joey-galloway-practice_medium 
Ned Flanders
Flanders_medium
Devout Christian who follows the Bible and attempts to instill it in others. Also loves repeating the same phrase over and over. "Okilly-dokilly" and "They really fought their guts out." Joe Gibbs
Joegibbs_medium 
Rod & Todd Flanders
 Rodandtodd_medium

Rod: Learned so much from his father and prays for his success.

Todd: The shorter of the two brothers who also follows a life of Jesus set by the examples of Ned and Rod.

Note: In Darrell Green's HoF Induction speech, he mentioned "Lord, Christ, God, or Church" 22 times. Monk said it 11 times.

Art Monk & Darrell Green
Greenandmonk_medium
Krusty the Klown

Hard-living entertainer with drug addiction and illiteracy problems. Dexter Manley

Bumble Bee Man
 Bumble-bee-man_medium

"No me gusta!" Max Zendejas

Physical force with the deep voice to match.

I'm pretty sure Rak drives a Canyonero as well.

Brian Orakpo

Only foreigner I can think of that played for the Redskins. Shar Pourdanesh
Shar_medium
Abe Simpson
Grandpa_medium 
One of the patriarchs of the family, yet sometimes loses focus in the middle of his sentence. Sam Huff
Samhuff_medium
Artie Ziff
Artie_ziff_medium
Confident, nerdy, rich, and used to getting what he wants. Dan Snyder
Dansnyder_medium 
Rich Texan
Rich_texan_medium
Stereotypical rich, callous, and gregarious Texas business owner. Jerry Jones
Jerry_jones_medium 
Kent Brockman
Kent_brockman_medium 
TV personality. That's about all they have in common. Larry Michael
Larry_michael_medium
Bleeding Gums Murphy
Bleeding_gums_murphy_medium 
Enjoyed thoroughly and only by Lisa Simpson (who is a metaphor for Redskins Nation in this). Chief Zee
Chiefzee_medium 

Mix between...
Chief Wiggum
Chiefwiggum_medium 
Professor Frink
Frink_medium

He was in charge, but had no control or respect from the community or his staff.

Also, came up with bizarre inventions when helping his people in crisis.

Abe Simpson/ Sam huff FTW

I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case, and the other case, there's only one case left- Barney Gumble

Change Grandpa Simpson to Joe Bugel
Old, gruff, crotchety, yet ultimately might have something to teach somebody.

Barney Gumble → John Riggins
Might be a little overweight, might drink a little too much, but gets it done when you need him.

Frank Grimes → Patrick Ramsey/Jason Campbell
Had to work their way into the starting role, when they finally got there, they were undermined by circumstances bigger than they could control.

by smutsboy1 on Jul 26, 2010 2:12 PM EDT reply actions  

Homer → Jon Jansen
Big, goofy, lovable, loves beer, very loyal

Bart → Clinton Portis (alternate choice)
Marches to his own beat, a little wild, but willing to be there when you need him.

Smithers → Cerrato

I originally had Cerrato as Smithers...

but backed off since Artie Ziff was a better Snyder…and the fact Smithers usually was correct in his thought processes. (the suck up and easy gay joke was tempting).

Grimes one is great.

What does Grampa have to teach anybody?

he’s old, curmudgeonly, and senile. Just like Huff.

True, but the Hellfish episode was pretty sweet.

Very annoyed I didn't think of this first - Awesome post

How about Barney and Chad Rinehart?

Nailed them all.

It’s surprising how much they all look like their doppelgangers too. Coach Tight Lips is perfect.

by SSBlitz on Jul 26, 2010 2:23 PM EDT reply actions  

LARRY MICHAELS

and Kent Brockman is sooooo perfect.

Superb article

by Elaw6 on Jul 26, 2010 2:42 PM EDT reply actions  

You could also squeeze Nelson in between Fat Tony and Comic book guy for Haynesworth – Can easily imagine him pushing down Danny, taking his money and letting out a “Ha ha!” as he strolls down the road….

Artie is perfect for Danny until he gets old, then it’s Montgomery Burns, although without (hopefully) Smithers as Cerrato.

by gopens44 on Jul 26, 2010 3:15 PM EDT reply actions  

Ah, screw it

I’ll retract my opinion after re-reading the original post. Can’t improve true art!

by gopens44 on Jul 26, 2010 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah...

that really is appropriate – we can call the whole ordeal the escalator to nowhere.

excellent

He’s the best mono-thingy guy there ever was

And I really thought he was going to do great things as well. My favorite college coach ever on my favorite college team…goes to my favorite pro team. I thought it was perfect. We’d have Super Bowl wins, MVP’s and championships everywhere.

Then…the games started.

i take it back

hahaha! Prof. Frink & the dumb cop

He was in charge, but had no control or respect from the community or his staff. Also, came up with bizarre inventions.

Hahaha

Remember when he had all you can eat and homer fucked him? " tis no man, tis a beast"

you have better reasons than i do for bugel, who i thought just looked like him. kevinE, kicka$$ articles lately dude, keep them coming! This one was an extra + to read, totally hilarious!

Snyder/Cerrato as Burns/Smithers

Burns will do anything to make a profit. Smithers will do whatever Burns tells him to.

Bored and broke.

thats good....like Kevins better

especially because of the visual similarities in the chosen pictures….Would have to have seen Burns as Jerry Jones.

extremely true

Bugel & Dr. Marvin Monroe?

Both thought they could fix something that was irreparably broken. The Simpsons and the O-Line.
