Radio Free Ashburn

     Just when you start to believe the Redskins could pull off a miracle today against the Falcons...this team reverts back to form. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, yet another loss.
     The cancer that is Dan Snyder's ownership of the Washington Redskins continues in earnest...
     Some things I have to say about this game:
     1) LaRon Landry needs to understand he's NOT the second coming of Sean Taylor. The late hit on Matt Ryan on the Falcons' sideline was totally unneccessary, period. Focus?? Apparently a foreign concept to LaRon. While we're on the subject...
     2) Anyone besides me notice when DeAngelo Hall went in jaw-jacking, that not ONE Redskin came in to pull him away for about 9 to 11 seconds...and only then to join in the fray?? Right there in a nutshell is the institutional rot of this franchise. NOBODY had D-Hall's back!!! Think on that, folks.
     3) The texters on the postgame show (on CSN Washington) are absolutely b-r-u-t-a-l!!! (As well they should, BTW.) One I saw summed up the mood in Redskins Nation right now: "My ferret could play QB better than Jason Campbell!!!". Whoever dreamed up the idea of text messaging had no clue of the evil that can be unleashed by sports fans, I guarantee you!!!
     Is there any way Roger Goodell can dissolve this franchise, for the good of Redskins fans?? Anything to stop Snyder from destroying this franchise any more than he already has, would be a fricking public service right now!!!

     Is there something in Dan Snyder's DNA that's mutated??
     Because, how else does one explain the latest colossal eff-up from the "Prima Danna"?? By that I mean, stating in a recent interview that the Redskins have "disappointed this town" by the atrocious season they're having so far. "Disappointed this town"?? Really?? And whose fault IS it, Danny Boy??
     Here's a hint. Look in the damned mirror.
     Just when I begin to think that Snyder can't eff up the Redskins any more than he already has...this comes along. I mean, we already know about the new policy in place @ FedEx Field--you know, where even someone holding a sign saying "I miss my husband in Afghanistan" can have it confiscated by FedEx security?? Fascism is alive and well, ladies and gentlemen, and it lives in Landover, MD for 8 Sundays a season.
     They just call it Dan Snyder's ownership of the Washington Redskins.
     So it looks like we're winning the Sam Bradford sweepstakes. Wonderful. Only thing is, should we wind up getting Sam Bradford, he'll be best suited being Colt Brennan's backup...because let's face it, Jason Campbell is out the door after this year (and Todd Collins has outlived his usefulness in Washington, IMO). This is the final indignity inflicted by Dan Snyder, to go along with everything he's done in the 10+ years he's owned the Skins.
     I just wish he'd stop giving me material for me to write here...

     Nobody else wants to say it, so let me. Sherman Lewis might have been brought in as a "consultant" by Dan Snyder, but real Redskins fans know the truth.
     He's the next head coach of the Redskins, the moment Jim Zorn screws up royally. (Like, say, this Sunday against Carolina.)
     Snyder hit the fricking panic button on this one. Despite the b.s. being pumped out by the "Prima Danna's" propaganda machine, we true Skins fans see through this. I'm just sorry Gregg Doyel and Pete Prisco don't see it like I do. (And they're the "professional" writers for CBSSports.com?? LMAO)
     The last post I did for this group--which, BTW, is my creation--pointed out why Dan Snyder is a cancer attacking the body that is the Washington Redskins franchise. Shouldn't this post clue you in as to my view of this parasite?? Because that's what he is, really...a soulless vampire sucking the life's blood from this franchise (and the region, as well) with no conscience whatsoever regarding the consequences of his actions.
     If you're thinking I'm going to give any analysis concerning the game Sunday, sorry. It's being done to death by other Redskin fans. (Which reminds me: find my poll about the 5 most over-scrutinized NFL markets...Washington, Dallas, Denver, Philly and Chicago...and vote. I really want to know what you think.)
     I so don't want to watch this game Sunday. But I have no choice. Why?? Cause I'm a fricking Redskins fan, that's why!!! Sado-masochism is so us right now...

     The beauty of creating your own group, is that you get to say what you want...when you want...in the manner you want. (Within certain parameters, of course. Gotta satisfy the CBSSports.com censors, you know...LMAO)
     So here I am, 48 hours after the debacle in Detroit. The shock still hasn't worn off. Either of the Redskins blowing this game, or the fact that Dan Snyder chose to schmooze with Tom Cruise before the game instead of blowing his freaking head off focusing on making the Skins better.
     (Thank you, strikethrough button!!!)
     The great line I heard concerning this quasi-incestuous relationship between Snyder and Cole Trickle Tom Cruise, came Sunday night on CSN Washington's "Sportsnite" show around 10:00. Michael Jenkins worked the anchor desk (alone), and remarked "The Redskins are like watching 'Days of Thunder'--5 minutes into this, and you know this ain't looking good". I almost fell out of my chair at that point, it was that accurate a statement.
     It's like I told my brother the other day on the phone. Ever since Snyder seized this franchise there's been (IMO) a curse on the stadium AND this franchise. And it started the day Jack Kent Cooke's name was taken off his stadium (and renamed FedEx Field), followed by Frank Herzog being fired by Snyder after the '03 season (because Frank dared to tell the truth about that '03 Skins team), as well as factoring in every offseason move these last 10 or 12 years.
     And you can see why a fellow Skins fan (here on CBSSports.com) wrote a blog saying "After this game, into exile I go".
     I know this much: I have 3 teams I created for the "Pigskin Pick 'Em" game on ESPN.com, and without fail I always pick the Skins. Not this week. For the first time, I'm picking AGAINST the Redskins and taking Tampa Bay this Sunday. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read it right. Can't you tell my disgust??
     Now I realize my brother did the right thing, giving up his season tickets this year. I wouldn't have been able to control my anger and contempt sitting @ FedEx and watching this train wreck of Snyder's doing. Clinton Portis was wrong: Snyder isn't risking losing the fans.
     He lost 'em the day he took ownership of the Washington Redskins.
     And he'll never get them back...ever.
     There is no coach out there...not Bill Parcells, not Bill Cowher, not Tony Dungy, not Mike Shanahan...hell, not even Herman Edwards...NO coach that can rescue the Redskins from Daniel M. Snyder. It saddens me to admit that, let alone write it here.
     And doesn't that speak volumes about the state of the Redskins at this juncture of the season??

     Maybe this is why Mike Wise's radio show (not to mention 106.7 the Fan) is going in the toilet. Then again, I'm not a psychologist...
     By now, most everyone has read Mike's column in the Washington Post about the lawsuit brought by a group of American Indians protesting the Redskins' (federally protected) trademark and/or name. Rather than launch into a running commentary about why we normal-thinking Redskins fans should knuckle under to this cultural terrorism, I'll give an explanation of why this lawsuit should be dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
     What it boils down to, is tradition.
     The question that should be asked is, where were these so-called "crusaders" when they were the Boston Redskins, or the Boston Braves, or the Milwaukee Braves?? (And for that matter, what of the Auburn War Eagles??) I'll tell you where you were...the same place as me. The sensitive phrase is, "a gleam in your daddy's eye". (The phrase I use is far more profane, which I'll save for my YouTube channel.)
     In other words, you weren't around. Period.
     Now let's be fair about this. The red man/woman was here on these shores way the frick before any of us were--regardless of what color you wish to list. And this whole idea of "cleansing" the Native American off the face of the planet didn't quite work so well. (Do the words "Last Stand" ring a bell??) But, as I said before, it's about tradition. Simply put:
     If Sonny Jurgensen, Sam Huff, Charley Taylor, Bobby Mitchell, Jerry Smith, John Riggins, Art Monk or anyone else had no problem calling themselves Redskins...than why does Mike Wise have a problem with it??
     If my grandfather, my dad, my two brothers (and me), my nephews and everyone in my family can (or did) cheer on the Redskins...why do these cultural terrorists want to destroy that feeling??
     Look at what Abe Pollin did, when he changed the name of the Bullets to "Wizards". Why?? Because in Abe Pollin's mind, he was so afraid that simply based on the fact Washington was the (so-called) "murder capital" of the nation he felt "Bullets" had this negative connotation. To me, it was (and is) a case of political correctness run amok. The same thing is true here concerning the Redskins' name, and this lawsuit.
     Tell me. What the fricking hell would we call this team?? The Washington Sun Dresses?? I guarantee you, you'd might as well put sun dresses on these players...because you'd just cut the cojones off this franchise. The moment you knuckle under to political correct behavior, you lose respect.
     Don't eff with a proven product. (The name, not necessarily what's been put out on the field these past few years.) That's all I'm saying.
     Hell of a opening piece for this group, ain't it?? I said in the mission statement, I tell you what the Dan Snyder propaganda machine won't. Agree or disagree, don't matter to me. At least I tell you the uncensored truth.
