2000 "BOYCOTT SNYDER" Balloons

Hey everyone, I'm raising money to buy 2000 white balloons with "BOYCOTT SNYDER" imprinted on them. They'll be distributed before the Broncos game. If you agree that Redskins fans need to act together to hit Snyder in the pocket, I could really use a few donations. The balloons cost a little more than $300, which I think is pretty cost-effective. They will be deflated, so no one can take them from you at the gate if you feel like bringing them into the stadium.

I'll be joining their sports talk drive-time show to discuss the Redskins, Dan Snyder, Coach Zorn, etc.

My goal is try and represent the angst of the average Redskins fan right now without coming across as too bitter. I will definitely work in a ridiculous statement about our "wild card potential" or our ability to get back in the "wild card hunt". Something that will make them scratch their heads for sure. Otherwise, I am sure it will be a healthy dose of, "What the hell is going on up there?"

Dan Snyder Apologetic!?!?!

Dan Snyder Apologetic!?!?!

At a charity event (today?), Snyder let his guard down in a rare Q&A session with reporters, saying, "We've let everyone down, including ourselves, and we know that and we're just apologetic."

Hmmm....This is all I have wanted to hear from him as a start to making things better. Any chance this is followed by a Vinny Cerrato firing?

Sam Bradford Will Be A Redskin??

Sam Bradford Will Be A Redskin??

Bradford unlikely to slip by Washington (according to Adam Schefter)

Monday, November 2, 2009 | Print Entry

Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford could slip some in the April NFL draft, but it is unlikely he would slip past the Washington Redskins' first-round pick.

The Redskins' team doctor is Dr. James Andrews, who performed Bradford's shoulder surgery this past week. If any team is going to have extra insight as to how well Bradford's subsequent rehab is going, it is the Redskins. Of course, any team can get any information it wants about Bradford's shoulder, but it is an interesting connection that Andrews works for the Redskins.

In the weeks before the 2008 NFL draft, Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart underwent foot surgery with Dr. Robert Anderson, who also happened to be the Carolina Panthers' team doctor. Then, when the draft came, Stewart slid some but not past the Panthers' 11th overall pick.

This is not to suggest that Bradford is destined to land in Washington, but it's hard to imagine him getting past the Redskins' slot, wherever it is.

Randle El Will No Longer Return Punts!!!!

OK, 3 years too late, and absolutely meaningless when the team is playing this badly, but at least we have one less thing to complain about.

I thought it was very unfair to put him in the position. The position they put Jim in, it shouldn’t happen," Holmgren said. "You can be upset with me as a play-caller or how the team’s going, (then) fire me. But don’t do that. Don’t pull the rug out from under me, tie my hands, make me look foolish … take away what I came there for to do in the first place. Don’t do that...what they did, I did not like it at all."

Guess that means we can cross Holmgren off the list of coaches. Geez...who would coach here?

Holmgren sticks up for Zorn

Holmgren sticks up for Zorn

Maybe NOW Snyder will realize that he has no clue of how things work in the NFL. That is, if he WAS considering trying to woo Holmgren.

Chris Samuels most likely will retire

EDIT: The Redskins Insider changed their previous link (Chris Samuels will retire) and is now saying Samuels will wait until December or January to make a final decision but "most likely will retire."

Zorn to Finish Season

Zorn to Finish Season

The video of Herm Edwards is great. Vinny made the announcement this morning on ESPN radio. I can't say it any better than Herm did in this clip from ESPN.

Cerrato just said that Jim Zorn will be Redskins head coach for the rest of the season....Snyder "constantly talks about how disappointed he is for the fans", per Cerrato.

"The formula that the Redskin owner and the Redskin general manager have for producing a winner on the field is not a winning formula, meaning that they can't make all the decisions on the coaches and on the personnel and then just hire some guy from off the street to be the head coach and win with what they put on the field. Because it doesn't work, and that's been proven for 10 years in a row."

Steve Largent
When it rains...it pours. Steve, why couldn't you make this statement when you were at Redskins Park for OTAs this past July?? Grrr. We know all this now. Eagles posts coming next.

Redskins Hold Press Conference To Announce They Are Still Sort Of A Football Team

Well, the Redskins have officially become a mockery, even making the vaunted pages of the Onion. Funny thing is this is dead on, hardly even humourous.
