Mike Shanahan Admits To Lying To The Media All The Time
Mike Shanahan was a little fired up at his press conference earlier today. That's understandable, considering the monumental shit storm that has descended on the Redskins' season. But the best part of the presser came when Shanahan, with one little admission, crystallized everything that is so dysfu...
RGIII Benched For Kirk Cousins
And here we are. According to reports from Pro Football Talk and the NFL Network, Kirk Cousins will start for the Redskins on Sunday, leaving Robert Griffin III to watch from the bench, possibly for the rest of the season....
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. Caught in the middle of this ugly divorce is poor, innocent, Robert Griffin III. It's always the children who suffer. At least he'l...
Here's The Guy Who Wants Us To Help Him Buy The Redskins
This is David Chang. He's a restaurateur from Northern Virginia most famous for creating the Momofuku empire, and more importantly, he appears to possess the same winning smile, bone structure, and gentle gaze as current Deadspin editor Tommy Craggs. Last night, he tweeted that he sort of wants to b...
Reports: Mike Shanahan's Probably Leaving Washington Soon
You can tell that the Skins are a catastrophe from their 3-9 record, but today's reports reinforce the team's shittiness with the relationships involving owner Dan Snyder, head coach Mike Shanahan, and Robert Griffin III....
The Redskins Get Jokes, You Guys
Just when you thought Dan Snyder couldn't get any more Dan Snyder. As reported by the Post, the Redskins threatened legal action against a Washington radio station over a series of parodies, until—and this is incredible—the station explained to the team that they were just jokes....
How Everyone Screwed Up On Washington's Mistaken First Down
Washington thought they had a first down. The chains moved. The stadium scoreboard said first down. Kyle Shanahan called the next play as if the Skins had a new set of downs. But the one person whose ruling mattered, referee Jeff Triplette, signaled third down. Chaos reigns....
Native American Tribal Leaders Call On Redskins To Change Their Name
One of the more common defenses of the Redskins name is that it's only a small proportion of American Indians calling for the change. Short of getting the five or so million natives left on a conference call, I'm not sure how you counter that argument. But this seems worth a shot. ...
Skins Fan Argues With His Lady Friend, Gets A Hot Dog To The Face
This video sent to us by a vigilant reader who attended last night's 49ers-Redskins game. He provides some context:...
One 49er Thinks RGIII Shouldn't Be Playing
On Sunday, NFL Network reported that Robert Griffin III asked the Redskins not to show any of his bad plays during team meetings. If there's any truth to that (and Washington said there isn't), film sessions are going to be short this week....
The Redskins Honor Navajo Code Talkers, Still Go By "Redskins"
The Washington Redskins would appreciate it if you reflect upon the noble, under-acknowledged history of the Navajo Code Talkers. These courageous, talented men developed and memorized a code based on their native language that America's enemies in World War II were unable to break. In the face of ...

Skins Fan Narcs On "F RG3" Plate To DMV, And Now Everybody Hates Him
Washington's season has just about reached the point where the fans are turning on each other. The pro- and anti-Griffin sects are at war. Blood is being spilled over which Shanahan to dump, or both. The Kirk Cousins fifth column waits in the wings. Everyone hates Dan Snyder. You'd think if anything...
Trent Williams Says Ref Called Him A "Disrespectful Motherfucker"
Washington OT Trent Williams claims that umpire Roy Ellison called him a "garbage ass" and "disrespectful motherfucker" at some point late in the first quarter of the game against the Eagles....
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. He fakes left, and drives to his right. A spin move in the paint! Then up, up goes Snyder, dunking the ball with authority on...
