He's cal...
Redskins Lied About Not Paying Horrible People To Defend Team Name
This became news a few days ago—the Friday evening before the Super Bowl, to be exact. Because of that timing, we can only assume the Redskins didn't want anyone to notice. Don't let them get away with it....
National Congress Of American Indians Releases Anti-Redskins Ad
Just in time for the Super Bowl, the National Congress of American Indians has released a simple, yet powerful, commercial directed right at Dan "you can use caps" Snyder.

Dan Snyder's Dickhead Behavior Is A Complex Thing

Dan Snyder Killed Some Trees, And A Park Ranger Paid The Price
Tim Murphy has a great story at Washington Monthly that shows, yet again, that you're justified in holding every idea you have about just what a rotten human being Dan Snyder is. It's a story about trees, egregious abuses of government power, and how easy it is for regular people to have their lives...
The Skins Turned Mike Shanahan's Presser Into A Hostage Situation
Or at least that's what it feels like, given some of the tweets that have been coming out of the Skins' facility today. The DC media was called in to cover a 10 a.m. press conference with Mike Shanahan, a thing that's pretty standard procedure when a coach has just been fired, and they arrived to fi...
Report: Mike Shanahan Was Near-Obsessive With RG3's Media Availability

The Redskins' Incompetent PR Guy Is Also A Giant Cry Baby
We've met Tony Wyllie—the Washington Redskins' deeply stupid, duplicitous shitbag of a PR flack—around these parts before. He's the man who once compared Dan Snyder's ridiculous libel suit against Dave McKenna to the plight of Egyptian protestors in Tahrir Square. He's also the guy who threatened to...
Do Native American Mascots Actually Cost Their Teams Money?
The "face of the franchise" debate in sports is always a curious one, because no matter how popular or talented a player might be, his face is not the one on the team's uniforms or merchandise. That is reserved for the mascot—the unnamed, disembodied heads adorning uniforms, as well as the Philly P...
RGIII Is A Pawn In The Dan Snyder-Mike Shanahan Standoff
Mike Shanahan is daring Washington to fire him. Dan Snyder has no problems seeing Shanahan go, but not at the cost of the $7 million remaining on his contract for 2014.

Here's The Guy Who Wants Us To Help Him Buy The Redskins
This is David Chang.

How Peter King Got His (Late) Dog Because Of The Redskins
It's almost not fair to write about putting down an aged dog, because there's no possible way you can read it and not get misty-eyed. (Bill Simmons's piece on his late dog remains one of the best things he's ever written). Today it's Peter King's turn to pay tribute to Twitter-famous Bailey, who was...
Dan Snyder Has A Redskins Basketball Court
Dan Snyder hesitates at the top of the arc. "Ahhhhhh," he hisses, simulating the crowd noise of thousands of fans, all here to see Dan the Man land another rim-rattling slam.

Dan Snyder's Neighbor Applies For "Washington Bravehearts" Trademark
But what does it all mean? TMZ believes this could perhaps kinda sorta be an indication that Dan Snyder is possibly maybe plotting to change his team's nickname.
