The Washington Redskins Don't Understand How Cyber Monday Works
It's Cyber Monday, which means that deals can be found all over the web for people more interested in shopping at their desk than doing work. The Redskins have a Cyber Monday deal today, too, but they don't quite understand how the "cyber" part is supposed to work....
Cherokee Chief Apologizes For Dan Snyder Alliance
Dan Snyder had a lousy Native American Heritage Month. His team went 0-for-November, bottoming out in Indianapolis with RGIII on the bench and the owner's pet's career in worse shape than his left and right menisci. Plus there was that brutal New Yorker cover and a gloriously oblivious "Happy Thanks...
Say Goodbye To RGIII In Washington
We have, unless and until Colt McCoy gets hurt, almost certainly seen the last of Robert Griffin III in burgundy and gold. Now benched for two different backups to end two consecutive seasons, there is nothing left in D.C. for the former second-overall pick. Not if Jay Gruden remains coach, and give...
Report: RGIII Benched, Colt McCoy To Start Against Indianapolis
Earlier today it seemed Jay Gruden really wanted to bench Robert Griffin III, and according to a report from Adam Schefter (and confirmed by Mike Jones), he's finally done it. Schefter, citing a team source, says that Colt McCoy will be Washington's starting quarterback when they take on Indianapoli...
Man, Jay Gruden Really Wants To Bench RGIII
Last week, Washington coach Jay Gruden apparently won the power struggle with his quarterback for Dan Snyder's favor. On Sunday, Griffin kept the Skins in the game; he didn't do anything particularly well, but he didn't do anything egregious enough to warrant being benched for Colt McCoy. He'd bette...
Reports: Red Sox To Sign Hanley Ramirez And Pablo Sandoval
It appears the Red Sox will not content themselves with just one premier free agent signing; credible reports have Boston inking both Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval to five-year deals, to be finalized as early as today....
Reports: RGIII Could Be Benched As Early As Today
At first glance, this is just the dumbest piece of news:...
What Did RG3 Say That Peyton Manning Hasn't?
In terms of RG3 takes, it appears we're not quite out of the woods. The quarterback's comments after Washington's pratfall against Tampa Bay—in which he more or less said football is a team effort—gave everyone the opportunity to take a swing at the already-half-broken piñata. Here's one more bad ta...
Rodney Harrison: "I Think You Have To Get Rid Of" RGIII
Washington's 27-7 loss to Tampa Bay could be described as rock bottom if this franchise hadn't proven so adept at digging even deeper. But the disaster of a game seems like this year's turning point: any lingering hope of a late-season surge is gone, fans are angry and embarrassed, and the pundits c...
"Hail To The Redskins" Is Obscene; This Man's Belly Is Here To Prove It
We've highlighted the sad and obscene history of Washington's fight song, but that still didn't convince all of you that it's not fit for public performance. So here's video of a shirtless guy with a mammoth gut dancing to "Hail To The Redskins," sent to us by reader Ben....

Navy SEAL Who Says He Shot Osama Pep-Talks 3-6 Washington
Rob O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who says he shot and killed Osama bin Laden, went to Washington's team meeting on Saturday and spoke to players. Wide receiver Pierre Garcon was one of the players who took a photo with O'Neill, and he gushed about "listening to a real HERO tonight."...
That Whole ESPN Report On RGIII Was Kind Of A Mess
On Sunday, ESPN had a big Trouble-in-Landover report that was actually two stories rolled into one. The juicier one, a claim that a locker-room outburst was proof that Robert Griffin III had "alienated" his teammates, was quickly disputed by a whole bunch of reporters who were in the room. Now the s...
Jay Gruden Blasts "Amateurish" ESPN Report About Robert Griffin III
There is never any shortage of drama in Washington, and yesterday's game in Minnesota had a little bit of everything: a bus crash, a large protest against the team name, and, totally unexpectedly, a little bit of a quarterback controversy between RGIII and Colt McCoy. ...
Here's Video Of The Minneapolis Protest Against The Redskins' Name
Before the Washington-Minnesota game, a large crowd marched to TCF Bank Stadium to protest the Washington Redskins' name. Reader Tanner sent us video of the march by his window....
'Skins Team Buses Involved In Crash On Way To Stadium
Two Washington team buses were involved in an accident on the trip to the Vikings' stadium this morning due to a missed exit. A good way to start game day....
DeAngelo Hall Tore His Achilles When He Slipped While Getting Pizza
The NFL's had a weird spate of injuries this season, on top of the regular injuries that happen every game. Stephen Tulloch and Lamarr Houston tore their ACLs celebrating; Detroit Lions tight end Joseph Fauria hurt himself trying to stop his (adorable) puppy from peeing in the house; and yesterday, ...
