Did Dan Snyder Kill A Redskins Critic's Radio Show?
Bruce Allen is the Washington Redskins' president and an unwitting jokester, well-known for such thigh-slappers as his claim that no matter how bad the team is, they're "winning off the field."

New Fake Indian Joins Old Fake Indian In NY High School's R-Word Fight
The "Redskins" name controversy has played out all over America for years now, in precincts high and low. It's now turned up, though, in the last place you'd expect—Lancaster, N.Y. Some of the same spurious Indians defending the NFL team's name jumped in the small-town fray this week....
Mike Shanahan: RGIII Told Me Which Plays Were "Unacceptable"
Robert Griffin III received The Dreaded Vote Of Confidence™ from head coach Jay Gruden today, who declared that the embattled QB will be his No. 1 guy to start the season.

Kirk Cousins: If RGIII's The Starter, I Want Out
With so many crap teams hitting the reset button today, you may have briefly forgotten about Washington, the kings of dysfunction.

DeSean Jackson Delivers A Swift Kick To The Eagles' Playoff Hopes
DeSean Jackson had a fun Saturday. The former Philadelphia Eagle got revenge on the team that cut him as he racked up 126 receiving yards on four catches, including two receptions of over 50 yards.

Santana Moss Goes Crazy On Refs After RG3 TD Called Back, Gets Ejected
Robert Griffin III ran for a diving touchdown as time expired in the first half against the Giants today. Or at least, it looked like he had.
