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

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
