Andre Miller Throws Some Classic Old-Man Game At The Heat, Scores
Andre Miller is 941 years old and has been in the NBA longer than it has existed; his first career assist, as a matter of fact, was a pocket bounce-pass to a rolling Chester Arthur for a two-handed jam. In all the years since, Gramps has learned a few tricks to augment his nonexistent athleticism, ...
Over-Excited Washington State Fan Eats It On Live TV
Wow, we didn't know the famed Apple Cup could pump up Washington State kids this much, but ol' girl was totally psyched when the camera was rolling. Her Cougars ate it about as hard as she did in the 31-13 loss to the Washington Huskies....
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: RGIII Could Be Benched As Early As Today
At first glance, this is just the dumbest piece of news:...
D-III School Beats Opponent At The Buzzer For The Second Straight Year
Division III college Hampden-Sydney beat the University of Mary Washington on an unusual buzzer-beating three Saturday. After a flubbed Mary Washington inbound pass, Hampden-Sydney's Mike Murray made a desperate three for the 58-57 win. The shot was weird, but the history between the two schools i...
Dion Waiters Goes For Dunk, Gets Destroyed, Is Terrible
Millennial Dion Waiters stinks and is bad; tonight against the Wizards, he tried to dunk on Kevin Seraphin and got stoned—with both hands!—directly to hell. My favorite part is Jon Barry and Mike Breen both initially assuming it must have been a foul, before watching the replay and realizing, yep, ...
Hey, Look At Alex Ovechkin's Killer Mustache
The music makes it oddly soothing. I could watch a few minutes of Alex Ovechkin and his mustache....
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...
RG3 Is Making Everyone Insane
Let's begin with the full quote. You already know that RG3 allegedly threw his teammates under the bus after the Skins got their asses handed to them by the Bucs at home on Sunday, but you probably only read this part of the quote…...
"Black Grantland" Hires White Hot-Taker Who Whines About Rap Music
So, there's some news today regarding Jason Whitlock's ESPN website, which at least at one point was supposed to be a "black Grantland." First, it's still a thing that is happening. Second, Whitlock's close to signing his second official hire: Washington Post columnist Mike Wise....
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....
After That Great Navy SEAL Pep Talk, Washington Is Shitting The Bed
Oh, goddammit. ...
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."...
