Capri Sun Saves A Redskins Player From Juice Thieves
Redskins receiver Niles Paul has an immense love for Capri Sun drinks, and made a habit of bringing them to practice during training camp. But he had a problem. Paul's teammates would snag pouches of his favorite drink when he wasn't looking. A cold-blooded, thirst-fueled crime....

Redskins Quarterback Had A Great Debut
For a bungling NFL franchise looking for a reason to believe, there's nothing quite like a breakout performance by a superstar quarterback.

An Assistant Coach Bumped Into Mike Shanahan And He Reacted Like A Cat Being Dropped In A Bathtub
Woah there, Mike! A little high-strung? Pressure situation, tough decisions, big games: do not bump into Mike Shanahan; he will claw your eyes out. Anyway, that assistant coach is now fired, so good luck to him in his job search....

Graham Gano Wins Redskins Starting Job, Gets Cut A Day Later
Yesterday, the Redskins cut veteran kicker Neil Rackers, seemingly handing the job to Graham Gano. Great news for Gano, a fourth-year player whose starting job has never been secure thanks to a niggling habit of, um, missing. Gano was technically perfect on field goals this preseason, considering he...
Clinton Portis, Coach Janky Spanky, Sheriff Gonna Getcha, Southeast Jerome, Dolla Bill, Dr. Do Itch Big, Bro Sweets, Prime Minister Yah Mon, Bud Foxx, Coconut Jones, And Choo-Choo All Announce Their NFL Retirements
Clinton Portis, who last played through an injury-plagued year in 2010, will officially announce his retirement Thursday at a news conference at Redskins Park.

Looks Like The Redskins Will Be Just Fine With Griffin At Quarterback
You've got to be feeling good if you're a Washington Redskins fan.

Vinny Cerrato Backs Out Of Charity Dunk Tank Event
Vinny Cerrato, the former corporate-sounding-title-holder for the Redskins and Dan Snyder minion, was supposed to take part in a minor league baseball promotion for the Bowie Baysox that involved himself, aggrieved D.C. area fans and a dunk tank. Unfortunately, one of those three won't be showing u...
To Protect A Dan Snyder-Owned Radio Station, The Redskins Banned A Competing Station From Airing RG3's Press Conference
The Redskins are severely limiting Robert Griffin III's media exposure before the season starts. No chats after practices, no cameras at his locker—just one press conference a week, making six in all. So it was a massive local media scrum when Griffin held his first presser last Wednesday, with all ...
Osi Umenyiora Thinks RG3 Should Be Called Plain Old "Bob Griffin"

Editor's Note: Suggesting Dan Snyder Is A Bullshitter Is Not As Libelous As Writing, "Dan Snyder Blows Dogs"
The previous post on Deadspin might have given the impression that Redskins owner Dan Snyder is a liar. Snyder takes such accusations very seriously, and so do we, which is why we now endeavor to answer the question: Is it libelous to suggest that Dan Snyder is a lying-ass shitbag vulgarian?...
Dan Snyder's Official Team Bio Is A Tour De Force Of Bullshit
When you think of Redskins owner Dan Snyder, you think of a miserable, gutless sack of shit who ruined a franchise and made an entire fanbase hate his guts. Ah, but that's just how Dan Snyder is perceived in the real world. The world of official team bios, on the other hand, is magical place where a...

Here's The Rest Of Trent "Silverback" Williams's Gorilla-Themed Basement
Yesterday we brought you the news that Washington Redskins OT Trent Williams has fully bought in to his "Silverback" nickname, decorating his basement with all sorts of gorilla art. We had a picture of one painting, a gorilla wearing Williams's 71 jersey. Now we've got the rest of the set, thanks to...
Trent Williams Owns A Painting Of Himself As A Gorilla, Because Of Course He Does
Redskins tackle Trent Williams has a nickname: Silverback. It's a self-bestowed nickname, but he's really committed to the idea. He dropped six figures on a massive diamond gorilla head chain, had Roger Goodell introduce him as Silverback when he was drafted, and apparently has remodeled his basemen...
Union Files Collusion Lawsuit Against NFL, Alleging Secret $123 Million Salary Cap In Uncapped Year
I've never been happier to admit I was wrong. Yesterday, the Redskins and Cowboys dropped their appeals of the NFL's salary cap penalties after being ruled against by rubber-stamp arbitrator Stephen Burbank, and I thought that was the end of it. The bad guys won. But the NFLPA had been saving its se...
