Stopped With The One Liner
We start off with our breakdown of the running backs, who will end up making the roster behind Guice and Thompson? We also talk about this week’s front office changes & the situation at guard where players are dropping like flies.

Yes, thank you, DHall.

DeAngelo Hall has retired
Did DHall hang’em up today?

After all that with Sean Welsh, the dude just left the squad? Does that mean we own his future rights?
Will he go into the Hall as a Redskin?
Wut’d I miss?
@ C. Dub
I went through something similar with my mom… and also my mother-in-law has Lupus and grew up with strict religious parents. Up until she gave cannabis a try, she thought exactly like steve and greg. She is now 180 degrees different in the way she views medical marijuana treatment! I don’t know who or how people in the government are still profiting from marijuana being illegal, but that is the only viable explanation for why it isn’t legal!
back in the day, it was the Big Cotton lobby
I’m surprised Big Sugar, Corn, and Soybean have not lobbied against Tesla et al., if you think about it
and if you think about it, Tesla might get marajuwana the next step by forcing the need for industrial hemp in those areas devastated by the loss of a biofuel market over time
The bummer will be if that happens only mere months before the aliens arrive and harvest us our for meat and minerals.
Another thing is that marijuana has been shown to drastically reduce deaths from opioid overdose and opioid addiction in general.
“people in the government are still profiting from marijuana being illegal, but that is the only viable explanation for why it isn’t legal!”
———————-
no. it is because 70-80 year old senators/congressman enjoy their cocktail hour, yet can’t fathom their hypocrisy.
why are we even having this conversation? or… why don’t we go about proving the medicinal benefits of alcohol?
I knew the first guy who ever got medical marijuana for his glaucoma, he and my dad were good friends. It kept him from going blind for the last 20 years of his life. He did eventually die of AIDS I believe, something unrelated.
He used to live on Barracks Row, above what is now the CAVA. Great dude, probably the reason I’m a redskins fan, my Dad would bring me over to his house as they were going over his legal strategy to get medical marijuana, Bob was a diehard fan and refused to turn off the games on a sunday. So they would plop 2 year old Alex in front of the game as they talked.
So, with out Medical Marijuana The Hog Sty wouldn’t exist, and there would probably be 1 more Giants fan blog out there.

Hi.
Flunder maid bale from Speling jale
There are three westerns filmed in 1972, 1973, and 1975, that Tarantino used to make “DJango”.
The Legend of N****r Charley (1972), Black Snake (1973), Mandingo (1975)
The first one is right, the second are sequels to Charlie.

Steve,
You are entittled to your opinion.However,I whole heartedly disagree with your thinking that the only people that want marijuana legal are all just stoners or potheads. This bothers me most of all, because I have seen with my own eyes what that wonderful plant did to help my father my sister and my brother all to whom succumb to CANCER ! Not lung cancer, but tumors in thier heads and bodies.
The Kemo therapy and drugs they were prescribed only proceeded to make them more sick! Throwing up losing wieght and not being able to shit (because of the prescriptions) is no way to live the last months of your life! Our family had the doctors approach us and ask us if we were pot users.When I gave the doctor a thumbs up, he took me aside and told me to let my father smoke it in order to get his appitite back.
Guess what? It worked for him and my siblings,as they all gained weight and had quality of life,in the last few months before they died.Of course I already knew it would help,but I was glad to hear the professionals say go for it.
I respect your opinion but you can stick it where the sun don’t shine !
consider the source. the guy would have alcohol be illegal if he ran the zoo.
WOW
Optics
optics? what? ”
“steve” has said as much. what are you talking about?
You telling anyone to consider the source
the guy wrote a comment to steve. steve has expressed the opinion here that in his ideal world alcohol would be illegal. the “source” of “c.dub’s” comment on steve’s opinion is steve. please try to keep up. jeepers.
He should move to Afghanistan. Taliban would love that guy.
he’s talking about the World of Warcraft / Oakley joint
That isn’t what I said, but I don’t expect you to get, well, anything, right.
that is certainly what you’ve said. now, if you’ve changed your mind about that, do tell.
Wrong, but again, I don’t expect you to get anything right.
what was your other name on the WaPo site?
skinsfan713, right?
So because he doesn’t agree with your opinion he’s an idiot
Gotcha
Your words, not his.
Stick it where the sun doesn’t shine
I respect your opinion
evidence suggests that many doctor practitioners have it wrong when it comes to prepping for Chemotherapy: the move is to fast for several days before in order to increase effectiveness and reduce the side effects
C.Dub: thanks for the response. I respect the fact that you intelligently laid out your points, although I disagree with them.
How do you disagree with the fact that his family members got some relief from marijuana when they were dying from cancer? Or are you saying you don’t care?
It’s a blog on the internet
Of course what he’s saying is 100 percent true and accurate
Wow
I don’t mind discussing sensitive subjects with C.Dub.
You, I mind, and am not going to do it.
DC,
we are living in a post-factual world.
Thank you for those sincere thoughts and feelings, CDub. I have not seen it, but I suspect that what you say is true. If I have someone close who is in that position, I will do just what you did.

Rush hour’s going to be a war zone now that the news is out.

Any of you remember “Dialing for Dollars”?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV

I wait for delivery each day until three
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town

Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

Good luck
hopefully, we’ll not be needing a generator by 7 PM
because I don’t have one
Aye, We went 11 days without power in 103° heat, on the last one.
Before we had cable, there was Saturday programming called Martial Arts Matinee. Loved it. All Karate movies, but mostly Bruce Lee. Dad would give us a list to do, but they never got done until the movie was over. great memories
yesssss. on DC20 at noon if i recall.
Noon sounds about right.
I haven’t been to a movie in months, and I’ve only seen a handful all year. There just haven’t been many good movies recently at all, at least ones that I’d call good. The last movie I went to go see was 12 Strong.
You need to get out more bro’. Too much “Hog Sty”
There haven’t been any good movies.
because you only like films that fit into a very narrow profile
for the rest of us there have been a bunch of good movies out there
12 strong wasn’t very good.
last movie I saw was Blockers and it was very funny
12 Strong was outstanding, I thought. A great flick.
The scenery was great, it was based on a true story, sure. The realism was non-existent.
You should go see A Quiet Place if you can find it still, really good thriller.

Butch racist
That’s fucking funny
The Hateful Eight
Django Unchained
inglorious Bastards
Great Tarantino flicks , but he is a doosh .
pulp fiction
I fell off of Tarantino around Kill Bill. I don’t know why.
I really liked R. Dogs, and Pulp Fiction is still in my Top 5 all time, maybe my favorite. But I couldn’t sit through all the boring action scenes in Kill Bill without falling asleep.
I have heard good things about Django and IB. I should check them out sometime.
I’m in the minority that I really liked Hateful 8
For me, HE started slow buy gained steam.
Is it dialogue heavy? I can’t take too much action in a movie.
After a certain point, gunfire, explosions, swordfighting, chase scenes, dangling from precipices with one hand, etc, all bore me to tears.
See, I’m the opposite. I love action movies and war movies. I tend to not like artsy, high-brow, dialogue-heavy movies. I’ll take the 4th Rambo movie any day.
I’d have to say you’d love Bruce Lee films…all action.
He was inspired to re-create Reservoir Dogs with a inspiration from John Carpenter’s The Thing.
I think the only Tarantino movie I’ve seen is the one with John Travolta, whatever that was called.
Pulp Fiction. I’ve see that one. It was pretty good.
Hateful Eight is a badass movie . killer.
Great Filmmaker, but I’d want to see him beaten
agreed
Yes, somebody really needs to take him out.
I remember… something about all his movies take place in the same alternate timeline
Yes, the idea is that they are one continuous universe. An alternate hyper violent society, which is why you see so little repercussions for murder.
But Vic Vega and Vincent Vega are brothers. Other characters are related to each other going back to Bastards.
Apke could probably put on 15 pounds and still retain his speed
I think I would shed a tear when Mel Brooks dies. Grew up with his films. Love the man.
70’s westerns kicked ass.
i like ol’ Clint Eastwood, he was always good in those.
Bud would kick your ass. Urban Cowboy
Wes might give me a run…..John Travolta is a walking vagina
Shit…Sissy would kick my ass.
debra winger was smokin hot in that movie
on fire hot
You’d let her, lol
It’s weird that arguably the top westerns ever made were all made by an Italian
I will give any western from the 70’s a watch. The golden age, imo
Man. My dad must have watched Josey Whales 100 times. He loved all those 70s cowboy movies.
Somehow, that kind of ruined them for me.
I still watch it, have it on DVD
I really liked Unforgiven. Ironically, that was the one Eastwood cowboy movie he didn’t care for… smh.
I didn’t like Unforgiven at all.
I’d argue that the best westerns were all in the 60’s, minor resurgence in the 2000’s. But westerns only got good when directors stopped cleaning everything up.
They realized the west should be dirty, dusty and brown.
All the Sergio Leone & Eastwood stuff is the 60’s and that’s where all the changes to gritty good westerns started.
Good, Bad, the Ugly–Tops in all time movies of the world.
GBU is 1966. 3rd in that trilogy.
Fully realized in the 70’s
Saw ‘The Electric Horseman’ last night, for the first time since I was a kid.
You’re old school and a patient guy if you sat throughout the movie: Quest for Fire–another film with very few words.
Ron Perelman, fun fact, he didn’t need any makeup for the role.
If you get a chance to rent, rent Dunkirk. Excellent. A movie of very few words, but action galore.
The RAF footage is awesome, otherwise….meh
I think it’s finally on HBO now. I’ve been waiting to see it, because I missed it in the theater. I’ve been trying to grab it from Redbox, without success, and Netflix doesn’t have it.
It was my pic of the year. Outstanding film, the sound is amazing.
The 90’s were great.
i said below: started with great potential, but the good stuff was co-opted early and it all turned to shit by 2000.
I’ll say this much about the 90s – the music then was light-years ahead of the crap that’s come out of this decade.
Here’s my impression of Music
50’s- Hey we’ve discovered this instrument called a guitar, but all we sing about is high school kids dying in car wrecks… who’s this weird Memphis guy?
60’s- So we can do rock and or roll? Hey look drugs, this will make things better.
70’s- Things are really humming a long now, you know, lets try adding some sex to these drugs and seeing how that works (it worked GREAT).
80’s- What’s with the pants? The hair? Okay Queen, you guys got a pass, but everyone else, I’ve got an eye on you.
90’s- Wait a minute, I’m not liking the way these things are looking. Where did the sex and drugs go? Who is this Blowfish dude? Why do these guys call themselves bands when none of the boys play an instrument?
2000’s- Smouldering ruins of fire and death. Oh and hey look it’s Radiohead to play a song about “Smouldering ruins of fire and death”
One movie that was hard to make it through was the Hateful Eight. The ending: oh boy.
i can sit through just about anything Tarantino does.
Yeah
I can too, and did. Knew something was going to happen.
I’m not really much of a Tarantino fan, so I haven’t seen many of his movies. Way too artsy for me.
I thought that the remake of “Cape Fear” was better than the original.
Haven’t seen the original; didn’t know there was an original, but I liked the Robert D. movie.
Robert Mitchum as the bad guy…good stuff.
I also hated the remake of True Grit. I had to grit my teeth to make it through that, too.
I felt like Jeff Bridges did well, though it was different.
I’ve never seen the original.
I have no response to that. I find that unbelievable.
I wasn’t even born when it was released, and I don’t watch alot of old movies.
You would like John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn
I’ve actually never seen any John Wayne movies. They’re all just too old for me.
You don’t know what you’re missing.
John Wayne movies are great.
The other movie that I thought was horrible that the critics loved was The English Patient. I rented it on DVD, thankfully, so I was able to turn it off without having to actually walk out of a theater. Atrocious piece of filmmaking.
I fell asleep in the theater during ‘Master and Commander’.
M. Night Shyamalan has made some very good movies.
Some not so good.
But hey, he became famous for the “final plot twist ending” thing, so much so that they call it a Shyamalan twist.
or the Shyamalan-a-ding-dong
Besides Starship Troopers, the other worst and dumbest movie from that era that I can think of was The Blair Witch Project. Just awful.
Gotta admit. If you were out in the sticks with no one supposedly around and “things” start throwing pebble and little rocks at you from all angles, that would be creepy.
Beast Mode
I first saw it when I was up in the Adirondack Mountains. Walked home through some heavy woods that night, about a mile walk. Heard a tree branch break at one point. Sprinted home.
The Blair Witch Project may stand alone as the worst movie I’ve ever seen, because it’s the only time I remember considering walking out of a theater because it was so bad. I stuck it out to the end, but only because I didn’t want to waste my ticket money. I thought that there wasn’t even a single scary moment, and the characters were so irritating that I found myself rooting for the witch to kill them all.
I distinctly remember laughing loudly when the one dude was like, “I kicked that map down the river!”
Also, remember my gf at the time being petrified on the walk home (through a college town–lol).
Dina Meyers is why they fap ST.
Two books that everyone should read Starship Troopers and The Forever War
two bookends of the spectrum
To Kill a Mockingbird
Sea Wolf
also Voerhoeven never read the book and basically made an anti-Nazi movie
the book was “too boring to read” for him
He had a different script already written, and they got the right to the name Starship Troopers after the fact.
Random fact. Despite being a flop at the box office this happened: In 2012, Slant Magazine ranked the film #20 on its list of the 100 Best Films of the 1990s
Slant? Slant Magazine? Down right racists.
but copyright enforceable
— The Slants
I honestly thought it was one of the worst and dumbest movies I’ve ever seen.
Isn’t that a Power Rangers movie?
What age is it appropriate for? Got a long car ride coming up in June and our library has it on CD (marked juvenile, too).
I know some Heinlein has sexual overtones.
I’m sure if the library has it marked as juvenile it’s fine.
I was about 16 when I read them both have some mature topics at points
like massacres, xenophobia, homosexuality
Thanks, Noone. Good info to know. I should at least read it first to judge how serious the car-ride discussions would have to be.
they are actually good books to have a serious discussion about various important topics without the kids knowing you are schooling them
Yeah. I will definitely check it out. My kids love to read and they love to listen to good stories.
Recently read them “The Princess Bride.” They were seriously rolling on the floor laughing. That book is hilarious.
If you haven’t read, or watched The Princess Bride……..
Clan of the Cave Bear……lol
Lol. That is nothing I want the kids listening too.
It was cheesy in places, for sure, but I actually liked that first one. The pre-history stuff was pretty interesting. By the second one, it was too cheesy for me.
They had that book in our school library.
Oh, my. I bet certain parts got read more than others.
Exactly
Speaking of the 70’s
JAWS
it created the “summer blockbuster” concept for the movie studios
Possibly my favorite film of all time.
I think it was every kid’s favorite movie at least for awhile . Thinking i was roughly 12 .
Yes but now as an adult, there’s so many more things I can appreciate rather than just the fear it gives you about swimming
Yeah , i know what you mean. The original Halloween as well.
That’s in there too. Frankly there’s a class of horror films in the 70’s and 80’s that’s unmatched for having those levels of depth. I’d put the first Alien in there, The Thing.
yep
alex,
“the thing” was awesome.
the exorcist, the omen.
mic drop….
That caused a little stir back in it’s time .
buck,
i remember. they were wondering if the “r” rating was enough… because they mentioned, you know woman parts…. seems so tame by today’s standards.
The shit kids can see on the internet …..scary ..
yeah…. the days of discovering your dad’s playboy mag are long gone.
Exorcist, great horror film, but I don’t think it’s got nearly the layers that some of those other mentioned above had.
Ridley Scott and John Carpenter, always liked the both of them.
Hoopah drives the boat
Fairwell Xanadu you ladies of Spain
swimmin’ with bow-legged women…
freakin’ loved jaws. saw it at the old “state theater” on lee highway in downtown falls church. it was a great, old-fashioned theater with a balcony. just a classic venue. also saw “rocky”, “the sting” and “airplane” there. the place has been converted to a concert hall. great place to see a concert. i hope i never closes. it still has the classic movie-theater marquee sign. just wonderful.
90’s movie everyone should re-watch Starship Troopers.
No thanks. That was gawd awful. I actually paid money to see that in a theater, but I should have just lit $10 on fire instead.
Remembering when movies only cost $10
good ol’ Paul Voerhoeven, that dude’s batshit, lol.
That movie was way ahead of it’s time. People didn’t get it at first. Some people still don’t.
his takes weren’t always great, but they were always interesting to me for one reason or another.
“Some people still don’t”
Hand Raised!
Well, he was deeply influenced by living through the Nazi invasions of his childhood.
The movie, not only was it meant to be a critique of political propaganda during war time, based off his experiences in his childhood. But the movie itself was a part of the propaganda, in that the “heros” in the film are actually the villains and the entire film is meant as a puff piece to justify their genocide of another planet.
Ah Ha…I see it now!
read the book, 10,000x better than the movie
to me, “starship trooper” is a song by “yes”.
DeAngelo Hall is hanging up his cleats. Hall is now wrestling with offers to be a TV commentator, assistant coach or front-office executive.
=====================================
I would add him as a coaching intern and see how it works out
I think he’d be better served taking a network job unless he just really wants to be a coach. Then, a front office job over coach if he doesn’t want to do media. Better hours, better money than coaching.
He’s said in interviews his dream is to become a GM. If I were the skins I’d offer him a scouting gig see how he does.
They could do that. I’d also consider offering him something in the football ops side of things, like maybe player development.
He’s had a long successful career.
Here’s a universal truth that cannot be disputed: Batman is a just a rich, smart guy in a suit, not a superhero.
Batman is the American culture’s Hercules.
The truth of the matter is that a real battle between Superman and Batman would last precisely 5 seconds and would entail Superman tossing Batman into orbit. The end.
Batman always has kryptonite
stand off and blast Batman with heat ray vision
game over
fuck it, pull him limb from limb.
See here’s the problem, Batman’s big advantage is he knows Superman refuses to kill (new films not withstanding) and Superman’s moral compass is way more fine tuned than Batman’s.
Batman usually doesn’t kill, either.
Ebola deaths in DRC up to 19 now
Oh not sure where to add that to the 90’s discussion:
The movie Congo, is that go in the pro or con list?
That hippo scene was intense…
Tim Curry was in prime Curry mode.
RIP Margot Kidder ‘Superman’ Star Dead at 69
One of the few superhero movies I’ve actually seen.
It does not hold up well. At one point for no reason we start getting an inner monologue from Louis Lane.
Crazy talk
I went back and re-watched it a few years ago. Could barely make my way through Superman 1.
Let’s see, the other superhero movies I’ve seen besides the Margo Kidder Superman:
– the first Spiderman remake in the early 2000s
– the third one of that Spiderman series (because I took the kids, not because I wanted to go)
– The Dark Knight with Christian Bale and the guy who died (outstanding movie)
– the 3 Iron Man movies (the first was very good, the second good but less so, and the third one was bad)
I believe that’s the entire list.

big business war going on between Moonves and Redstone family
IF The Caps pull off a Stanley Cup win, an ancillary benefit will be that Redskins players will finally be exposed to how rabid our fan base can be when we win championships.
Plus, it’ll dispel the whole snakebit/cursed/whatever about DC area sports that the W#$% been pushing.
Dude. Shut up.
Talk about jinxing it
The crack epidemic of the 80’s and 90’s was probably the most devastating social ill of the last 50 years.

True enough. I’ve heard crazy stories about what it was like dealing with it from my neighbors. Literal war zone.
90’s. What a shart show.
1.) Grunge
2.) Seinfeld
3.) Pulp Fiction
4.) Classic rap (Pac, Biggie, Naz, early JayZ, OutKast, Wu Tang)
5.) 91 Redskins
What’s not to like?
I’d say that the top 4 on your list are reasons not to like the 90s…..
Yes, Sitcom’s were at their zenith, but they also fell off the cliff at the end of the 90’s. The whole computers and the internet thing took off.
What’s not to like:
1. Rise of the Boy Bands
2. Rise of the Conservative Democrats (DLC)
3. Cowboys “Troy Aikman Years”, Redskins terribleness from 1992-1998
4. Non Tim Burton Batman movies
5. Reality TV became a thing.
I like conservative Democrats (and liberal Republicans, for that matter).
As for Aikman, just remember the glory of LaVar putting him out of the game forever.
But that’s not till the 2000’s. When we get to the 2000’s you can put it on the list.
The Conservative Democrat wave gave us Hillary Clinton. Just terrible.
Bill was always conservative democrat (and a terrible person). Hillary morphed from a non-politician to a conservative democrat to a wacko liberal to, currently, a whiny speech-circuit drone.
Yeah. Ok, she’s terrible. That’s not what I meant by Cons.Dem.
I guess I meant regular Joe Demos/Repubs who are not extremists.
See, that’s where you’re mixing it up. The DLC were never populist type regular joes. They were the part of the Dems that flipped from being pro-union to pro-wall street, for the money.
6. The first 2-3 seasons of Star Trek DS9
7. The Makerana
8. Youth Soccer
9. The death of MTV thanks to TRL
10. Y2K bug
Youth soccer isn’t just a 90s thing. That was around well before the 90s.
Yes, I was coaching youth soccer in the early 80’s, and it had already been around for a while.
I played youth soccer as a kid in the early 80s.
started off pretty cool, culture-wise, but the good stuff got co-opted quick, and by the late decade it had all really gone to shit.
Why the 80s were not so awesome
1.) Glam rock bands
2.) Big hair that smelled (and tasted) like Aqua Net
3.) Makeup that left a face-print on the pillow
4.) Fear campaigns (AIDS, DRUGS, and Satanism!!)
5.) Reagan and his wannabe’s
6.) Plastic clothes
Why the 80s were so awesome
1.) The Redskins
2.) Jobs on every corner
3.) $$$
4.) You could tell a wet back joke and not be called racist
5.) Holy crap…girls were crazy crazy horny
6.) Tight Jordache jeans

I think the time period when that seems to happen usually coincides with when a dude is between the ages of 15 and married.
I remember it well.
7.) Well kept “landing strips”
The Chrysler K Car. What a piece of shit.
DoD kept that vehicle alive by forcing every unit to use them as military staff cars back then.
What a shame
The glam rock bands were awesome. They were a great thing about the 80s, not a negative.
And Ronald Reagan was a personal hero of mine and was the greatest president of the post-WWII era.
I still have a smallish photo of Reagan inspecting some troops at Andrews AFB on my wall in my home office that I permanently borrowed from the Secretary of the Air Force’s massive art collection.
‘Skins were good, thrash metal, gangsta rap…the good ol’ days.
7) Blane.
You were using lipstick in the 80’s?
Why the 70’s was so awesome
1. Music, best music period ever
2. Lower drinking age 18 a lot of place (some beer/wine only)
3. Women’s clothes halter tops, daisey dukes, hot pants. etc. (mainly meant no underwear)
4. Sex and drugs in abundant supply
5. bench seats in automobiles
1. Disco was and is an abomination and plague on humanity
2. I don’t drink, so that wouldn’t have benefited me
3. A good thing, but today’s outfits are pretty skimpy, too
4. Drugs in abundant supply? No thanks.
5. Can’t argue with that one
Ok. I’m assuming you meant the guitar rock of the 70s, not disco or any of that horrible folksy stuff.
Also, it was a pretty good era for movies: Star Wars, Godfather, Annie Hall.
Seems like a bleak time for TV, though.
And the economy
And American cars
78 f -150
Edited: American cars that average, non-badass people drove.
gremlin
pinto
vega
Think about that…….top of your list? Probably not.
Great for wheelies at the local 1/8th mile strip.
Mustang II
Really?
crappy cars with crappy gas mileage
that was the worst in the 70’s
Yup, hadn’t figured out emissions.
What?
MASH, All in the Family, Happy Days, Good Times, Rockford Files, Charlies Angels, Six Million Dollar Man, Jeffersons, Three’s Company, Sanford and Son, etc.
SNL with Belushi
Sorry, bro. Almost all of those shows make me cringe just upon hearing the opening theme. (Sanford and Son was pretty hilarious. SNL too.)
But, I think it is a generational thing. My students all hate Seinfeld. I’ll never under that one.
I wouldn’t stand for it…….
Rockford Files, great theme
one of best TV show theme writer – Mike Post
Other TV music works include Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, The A-Team, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Blossom, CHiPs, The Commish, Doogie Howser, M.D., Greatest American Hero, Hardcastle and McCormick, Hooperman, Hunter, Magnum, P.I., NewsRadio, Profit, Quantum Leap, Renegade, Riptide, Silk Stalkings, Stingray, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe, The White Shadow, Wiseguy, the BBC series Roughnecks, Law & Order, and Philly.
NewsRadio was hysterical with Phil Hartman. Underappreciated sit-com.
Phil Hartman in general was underrated. That dude was hilarious.
I never got Seinfeld either. Just didn’t seem very funny to me.
What do you consider to be funny?
Not that.
Sitcom-wise from that era and earlier, I loved Cheers and Night Court. The early years of M*A*S*H, at least the re-runs since I wasn’t around for the beginning of the show.
Fair enough
Watergate
Vietnam War
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon
Cars with vinyl roofs
I love when people post actual new stories to bolster their point of views
like the Mom shooting the criminal trying to rob people as an example of why more people need to carry CCW
except the shooting was in Brazil, not US
and the Mom (actually a mom) is also an off-duty military police officer for the past 20 years
so she is a trained LEO
but I do agree that a trained, pistol packing Momma is a good way to defeat a criminal

Think he started down that route two seasons ago….
He said Sean McVay offered him a position with the Los Angeles Rams this season, more as a locker room leader than an on-field contributor, but he said he’s done playing.
Twerpy McTwerp-Twerp
I thought he did ok on NFL Network.
well I guess the “dry” season is over, potential flooding from the slow moving low in the Gulf
Worth reading Uncle Ted’s take on sports betting here:
https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/996048852254904321
Ted is probably right. It will help the NFL last especially if the league gets a Vegas cut. Which it should. NBA NHL etc too. Like Silver suggested
Why should any league get a cut? They’re playing the game but the actual betting has nothing to do with them. Unless the sports leagues want to from some money to the gambling industry, they deserve zero.
What do you do to relax….
I wish I could remember June 1978, I must have been really relaxed then
I also don’t remember June 1978
That was one of the best summers of my life. I was 3!
I was -5
too bad for you the 70’s we so awesome
there was nothing so bad that could not be cured with a shot of antibiotics
Not a single thing!
— Rock
I barely remember it. I was a little, little kid.
My biggest concern is not even the LG position right now. I am STILL very concerned with the TE position, and their ability to block.
Don’t look past Jeremy Sprinkle in that role.
I’m not.
We have a fullback now. Problem solved.
TE and LG….the 2 spots you worry about just because of injury. Depth critical. Much less a starter.
On offense.
On defense I’d add ILB CB
and S. Maybe they send Anderson inside some..Maybe Nooskie is the LG piece.
I’m still worried about the secondary. We’re counting on a lot of unproven players. Even if a couple of those players step up were’s the depth?
Agree
I’m less worried about the unprovens (Dunbar, Moreau, Holsey) than I am about the “proven” Scandrick.
Former Cowboys don’t tend to shine in Skins gear. Plus, Scandrick is at the end.
LG is the big issue for me. We havent had a blocking TE since Paulson but have survived. Its been an issue for some time.
was away (from the blog) most of the weekend. any reports from rookie camp? i understand guice is “a ball of energy” and payne is really big.
The Mighty Quinn, you ain’t seen nothin like him.
Listen all the way to the very end of the show this week.
I wonder if this guy can play guard?
https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/996042484542328833
No thank you
He sucks something awful
I hope he starts at right tackle for NY, what the fuck is the matter with you?
“missed the giants’ off-season program”…. due to injury? laziness? untimely deaths in the family?
Speaking of salary cap, I updated the numbers, but I’m missing Lauvao, so I’m going to hold off publishing it for now.
Mr. Steve, what do you do to relax? After a tough couple days, stressful case, whatever. Some folks have a nice Scotch. Some folks drink a few beers. Some folks smoke a joint. Some folks have a glass of wine or two. What is your method?
Steve crush some salary cap numbers.
I don’t drink alcohol. I lay on the couch and watch TV to relax.
Ok, so that’s your method. I know some very responsible people that use marijuana in a very responsible way, just as there are very responsible people who can just have one Scotch, and not do what Alex just said he does. It’s like with guns, it’s the individual. Are there fucking couch potato bums that live in their mom’s basement and have nothing but weed to live for? Yes, but the same can be said for online gaming.
There’s no responsible way to use marijuana, to me.
But since you’ve never done you don’t know.
Weed is worse than most pot smokers think it is.
But also, way less bad than most never-pot-smokers think it is.
Agreed. I’ve seen people who use it too much and it’s no good. But most the multi-millionaires I know are also huge potheads. But most folks in the middle, productive members of society.
The key is just like drinking, if you do it before 5 PM you’re gonna be a screw up.
When I was in high school/college, I wouldn’t touch the stuff… not because I was Johnny Morality, but for the same reason I would never root for the Steelers: I didn’t want to be associated with the idiots I knew that did.
I never did in HS. College yes. Funny my GPA was so much better in college.
Moderation
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
Well aren’t you just the regular little tightrope walker!
Sure, but there ARE responsible ways to use guns, right?
What’s irresponsible about taking a couple hits and sitting on the couch watching TV?
You risk falling on an old TNG marathon, and then 8 hours later, suddenly you’re espousing the virtues of the united federation of planets and one world government and just like that you’re saying that Dennis Kusinich should have been president in 2008. The dangers…
I’ve seen it a hundred times?
I was doing a similar spin but didn’t want to go full on.
Lol
That’s just a clueless opinion.
You’re a walking clueless opinion.
Some folks go out have a few beers, followed by a glass of whiskey, then find themselves a woman of the night, do an 8 ball with her. Then they maybe wander the docks looking for a homeless person to murder.
He sits in the parking lot of KFC. Staring at the lights, eating his original recipe. Wondering what the hell he’s doing in Texas.
Gambling is legal on the internets.
I’m betting Steve that cannabis will be legal on the federal level before the Redskins make it to the SuperBowl.
The Redskins were 7-9 with no running game, a rag-tag defense, and 21 players (13 starters) on I-R.
Sounds like you need to write a column about this…hint hint.
Gotcha boss 🙂
Part of that was the 2 of the other 3 teams in our division also having shitty years.
well… possibly, but the eagles had a better year than expected.
Yeah … and come to think of it, we only won 1 division game. [puke]

@TheHogSty
This is massive news that’s going to change the sports landscape.
xxx
Only in States where it is legal.
It’ll be legal in lots of places in the coming years, because everybody wants to make money.
Marijuana cha-cha-cha
That isn’t ever going to happen at the federal level, thankfully.
Sure it is
Nope.
It absolutely will. Just a matter of time.
until someone realizes they can collect $100B in new taxes every year
I don’t view that as a positive thing.
But you admit that it has momentum?
What, gambling? Of course. The private economy can make money on it.
Drugs, no. People are smarter than that. Weed advocates are just a bunch of stoners.
And Marijuana Cha Cha Cha
Better the states and feds get some of money as opposed to it going to drug dealers and cartels.
The smart thing is for nobody to get it.
Maybe, but we know that’s never going to happen.
As opposed to spending a shit-ton of tax payer dollars playing whack-a-mole.
Yup
Until the feds fix the law and it becomes illegal again.
not disagreeing
but when the news came out, people were ready to drive over to MGM National Harbor and place some bets, but it’s not immediately legal in Maryland. they have to amend their (state) constitution first
Story of the first two weeks…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFOA_gn01j0&t=22s
The team put serious effort into correcting our weaknesses. Defense is gonna thump. I got a sneaking suspicion that Guice is gonna thump, Alex is gonna do what he do. Y’all are cray cray.
“Alex is gonna do what he do”
I always do.
Lol
That I am sure of.
Smith, I am not.
The dude is older.
He’s in a new system, even if it is familiar, even if he’s a veteran.
He was never a Pro Bowl type QB.
He has poor options at WR/TE.
And, though we have more talent at RB, an injury or poor playcalling can nullify that real quickly.
Troll post
Fuck it, put me down for a wild card slot.
Wild card?
Put some clear in that koolaid son. We’re taking the division crown!
I see you’ve already put the Clear in….
I love all the optimism about Smith.
Personally, if he is 90% as good as Cousins, I will be thrilled.
If we are better at running (and Guice should help there), and stopping the run (DLine is improved), 90% of Cousins will get us a playoff spot.
Plain and simple. Both are VERY good QB’s. But Cousins lacked intangibles. Smith looks like he “plays football”. Kirk looks like he goes through the process of pitching an oblong leather object to players on his team.
Lol
The difference between Smith and Cousins is that defenses have to account for Smith’s legs, not so much for Cousins.
That’s one difference. I think Smith has a more accurate deep ball and is a better team leader.
Conversely Kirk usually has a streak of 4 games every season where he will be on fire, Smith I think is more even through the year.
Yes^^^
cummings is sneaky fast.
He feels pressure and moves around better.
We will stop the run.
If I have to pick which position on the offensive line that I’ll be suspect at, it’s Left Guard.
I’m not buying the “tough schedule” argument. The schedule won’t look the same in November as it does in May. For example…Raiders and Seahawks were chalked up as sure losses last season based on paper.
Also, I don’t see how the Giants or Cowboys will be better than the Redskins.
pro gamblers have us at either 5.5 or 6.5 wins with 3-4 pushes
which means max upside is about 8-9 wins
in their eyes and they do not like to lose money
pro gamblers picked the patriots over the eagles….
That’s more like the exception, not the rule.
they even had a lot more to go on. right now, everyone is just throwing darts.
at this point in May, that is not unreasonable
I’ve just been informed that one of my webcasts next week is a panel discussion where they are going to talk about some analytics they’ve done on meetings with panels.
Full Bureaucracy
So they’re going to have a meeting to discuss meetings?
A meeting to analyze meeting effectiveness I’m guessing.
Standard operating procedure
^ Hey, that’s probably one of the presentation titles.
Lol
That sounds like the federal government at work.
Hey, it’s still better than the non-stop Christmas parties from November through December.
sounds like any large organization at work
so…. somewhere along the line there was a meeting to discuss having a meeting about meetings.
I’d think you would have multiple meetings to set this up. If it’s big enough for them to put it in an auditorium to webcast then I’d assume some prep goes into it.
Yeah, there’s probably a committee having meetings to plan the meeting about the effectiveness of meetings.
To be clear, it could also just be an outside organization hired to do the analytics.

Ain’t that a bitch! – Thomas Fortune Ryan
Question O’ Tha’ Day…
Some fans and NFL pundits alike, are picking the Redskins to have 7 or 8 wins this season. Please explain this to me how this will be a worse or just as bad a team as last year. I don’t get it.
I’m at 11-5…if secondary is crowned.
I wrote about this here a few weeks ago. Did a preliminary look at the schedule. I thought the realistically possible range was between 5-11 and 10-6. It’s a tough schedule.
Yeah, but at some point your talent has to catch up with the schedule. I know there are questions, but I just can’t see us losing 10 or 11 games.
No reason we shouldn’t be able to stop the run
No reason we shouldn’t be able to run
Our QB is much more mobile
No reason we shouldn’t be able to stop the run: Still no proven NT
No reason we shouldn’t be able to run: We only have 4 OL
Are we going to split out our LG?
You’ll see
I’m not convinced that our 34 yo QB should run more than KC did the last couple years.
Cousins’ mobility is underrated. Plus he was very durable.
Not saying he should run. Saying he moves much better.
The statistical evidence shows that Alex Smith is still one of the most mobile QBs in the NFL and that Cousins is of average mobility.
Tough division. Tough schedule. Not much at WR/TE. A Smith unlikely to repeat career year.
Dline better. Secondary worse.
That’s the pessimistic Kool Aid I think some are sipping.
Plus, it’s the Redskins. Everyone assumes we’ll suck until proven otherwise, and even then, they assume we’ll screw it up.
We have Trey “White Lightnin’ Quinn.
Why he gotta be “White” lightning?
😉
he’s into moonshine

Dunbar has come a long way. His career enters next level mode.
All draft picks making the team is not a bad thing…Some will “star” and some will “fade” by the time their rookie deal is up.

I would be more worried if Guice had a Fred tattoo
not that is anything wrong with it, but I think Fred was a closted gay
Damn i thought they were all swingers…

Can we let Trey Quinn make the 53 first before we “crown” him? Sheesh…
I know we love under-dog stories, but let him actually DO something first.
Lotta premature crowns being awarded of late…

will he get paid in Scooby snacks?
Zoikes!
Geron Christian. Why hasn’t he signed yet?
Bound to have since practicing.
Because he’s a Christian…gotta get all the dollas he can.
I thought the rookie wage cap didn’t really give him much of an option. Just curious why?
I read an article about that….it has to do with pro-rated money….stuff like that.
ty
correction: only Rick knows why
That’s a Darius Rucker song, no?
it’s tradition for our 3rd to be late signings
nobody knows why though
they actually addressed that on the Junks this morning, for some weird thing with 3rd rounders, the signing bonus is locked in, but there’s more wiggle room with some of the contract, so a 3rd round pick taking longer is not a red flag per se.
I was holding Tiger to the same standard I would hold myself to
D_C is a fucking moron who just likes to start political shit so people pay attention to him since most of what he posts up here is so inherently wrong that people ignore it
and if Trump has done the same thing then my opinion of him would be the same of him as Tiger
if you make a commitment stick to it
that’s not a higher standard
and money doesn’t give you an inherent right to “opt out” when you fell like it
I was really just tryna work the Trump angle – D_I_C
NOILRMOT DC!
Meh athletes are athletes. Couldn’t care less what they do in private. CINC is a different story…
or people are people and what jobs they have shouldn’t matter
But we aren’t talking about just people. Its disappointing no doubt but irrelevant to what makes them unique the greatest golfer on the planet maybe.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course
Are golfers truly athletes, though?
Lol good point
More technicians, or strategists, idk.
why? did you feel the same when Clinton was doing his thing? Kennedy? Idgaf what anyone does in their personal life. Leaders don’t have to adhere to a puritanical lifestyle for me to think they’ve done a good job leading. Winston Churchill? Great leader but in today’s society, he’d not stand a chance of being elected. That’s just wrong imo!
Because there are real consequences if a sitting president has Tiger level skeletons in their closet. There’s a reason infidelity is against the UCMJ…
Lol, that’s just fucking hilarious. They all have dirt.
naive too
Nah, I talk cash shit about Hilldawg, Slick Willy, Obama….he can do the same.
we all talk shit about everyone but I’m dead serious when I state Winston Churchill, (and many former great leaders) wouldn’t get elected today under the criteria imposed. It’s dumb and we are worse off as a society for it imo. instead we get robotic, milquetoast figures…blah blah blah…
We are people. Until we start genetically engineering people (on a large scale), the euphoric academia myth will be just that, a myth.
There were a great many reasons Winston Churchill shouldn’t have been put in power. His weird sex life was not one of them.
he was a great leader tho Alex..don’t go there dude
He was a better leader than Chamberlain sure. But he had some major flaws, like all political men, he was very anti-irish, anti-womans vote, there’s the whole anti-Ghandi thing.
http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30934629
.
Yes the article said the exact same thing I just did.
Presidents aren’t subject to the UCMJ.
They lead an entire US force that are subject to it
Yes but we are not a dictatorship, the last thing we want is a military general as chief executive.
not the same thing and I know this being a Veteran. Did the troops perform less well under Clinton? Kennedy? smh…just stop..
Hell yea i felt the same. I’m not singling out Trump. This applies to all. That’s a part of the many considerations when i vote or criticize a US president. Suppose to be the most respected and admired positon in all the world and dudes cant keep their shit in their pants while married? Thats ridiculous and glad you can overlook that. Most likely a deeper flaw well beyond marriage that could effect ones ability to lead
Plus, ultimately regular Joes have no control over who the PoTUS is…. The parties march out their sad sack candidates, and we pick between two bad choices most years.

Why folk comparing K Smith to Sean McVay getting away ? Apples and oranges. Smith is no coach and McVay is no GM.
Furthermore I am missing the crowns these guys are suddenly wearing.
I think mcvay is doing well so far
I like McVay. Had a good season. Lot of good players added this offseason and Wade as DC. He SHOULD do well. Lets see how year 2 and 3 pan out…
Idk jack sh*t about the other guy
Both young, highly regarded, bright futures ahead of them, Redskins employees…. Doesn’t seem that complicated.
Like I said below….. (close outs and Ws then lets talk crowns for these dudes
Everything sucks
If thats your take.
My “hot read”?
I’ve heard that Campbell was contemplating retirement soon anyway
Authorities in Grand Junction, CO have set up three traps for a bear that attacked a 5-year-old girl outside her home early Sunday morning. CBS Denver reports the girl ventured outside at 2:30 a.m. Sunday to “investigate noises in the yard she may have thought was her dog,” a news release from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife stated.
The girl’s mother heard a commotion, investigated, and discovered a large black bear dragging her daughter.
The woman screamed and the bear dropped the girl.
The girl suffered serious injuries. She is at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Grand Junction and listed as in fair condition.
===========================
F**k coyotes!

Damn. That Bear will get shot by wardens.
Grand Junction is a beautiful little town.
also close to Moab… beautiful stuff, plenty to do
Yeah
Why is a 5 year old going outside at that time
I like Quinn, he’s legit imo. Plenty of small school/conference guys make it. Coastal Carolina Univ. in my area says hello!
SMU isn’t really a “small” school/conference, they probably should be in the BigXII
i was making that statement after listening to some of the podcast
There have been a few years where the AAC is a more talented conference than the Big 12.

Who are you talking about?
Sad when we’re holding professional athletes to a higher standard than the Commander in Chief, right?
Nobody’s holding anyone to a standard imbecile.
There are always standards, and you just fell below them again.
Sorry I called you an imbecile. lol, it was poking fun at him, but perhaps noonefromtampa could state for the record whether he was holding him to a higher standard? smh
Hey, if it’s good enough for the President of the United States?
Kennedy says hello..from the grave.
For the record, Idgaf about who anyone sleeps with. That’s their biz as far as I’m concerned.

“I was excited to just get the draft over with so I could get back to just being around the team and a set schedule. People don’t know how much just being around a team really means. It means a lot to me.”
Shaun Dion talking the talk.
I know it means nothing (see McClue, Scot) when they can talk the talk, but it’s still good to hear.
Let’s just call him Ham.
kon, from today’s sport page in Tampa
No, it’s not over. It just feels that way.
Looks like it, too.
The Lightning is in big-time trouble. Not dead, but one skate in the grave and the other on a banana peel.
Someone check the expiration on this feel-good season. It’s starting to rot. Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final Sunday night certainly had a sour smell to it as the Lightning lost to the Capitals 6-2.
Not even close. The game and, so far, the series.
Two home games. Two losses. Too much Caps.
And there is the problem. Too much Caps. All Caps. That’s what this series has become. All Caps.
Sure, we can pick apart the Lightning’s game, and there’s plenty to pick apart.
Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy has a couple of bricks missing in his wall, so many that you wonder if he should sit for the next game. The penalty kill is on permanent vacation. It’s making critical mistakes at crucial times.
the Caps haven’t played as well at home it seems
Fuck the Redwings! – 1998
Noone, are they stunned in Tampa?
Reeling
people are crossing on the other side of the room to avoid me like I have Ebola
based on the last 40 years of hockey results the Lightning have a 4.5% chance of winning the series right now
So nothing new.
Correct, same as your hoped for increased in intelligence level
nothing new to report
Caps been up 3-0 before and still loss series. Very cautious….
Whoa whoa with that talk!
that was first round not conference final
Matt Jones was a hugely overdrafted RB, most teams had grades in round 5-7 on him
total miss in round 3
Am I the only one who thinks Norman and Dancing with the Stars is a lame story line?
Personally, I’d prefer the guy focus on football.
Dude needs to put his shirt on
Legs and ass, that is all there is to Dancing with the Stars, unless you’re one of those “show tunes” types…….not that there’s anything wrong with that.
wife watches it, keeps saying that every show they are people wearing Redskins gear in the audience
There are some fine women on there, not enough for me to watch that shit, though.
Should Kyle Smith Become the Redskins New General Manager?
============================================
Short answer is no
Long answer is the team seems to preparing for the day when Bruce is no longer in his current role
right now it looks like Doug gets Football Ops and Eric gets Business Ops and in that scenario Kyle could be GM under Doug
I feel like they’ve got a solid collection of talent in the front office. As long as Bruce is just doing the stadium politics, he’s fine.
And, even though I was for signing Cousins, I think they’ve handled that situation as well as they could.
BA needs to go. He’s a cancer imo.
Reported yesterday
RIP Chuck Knox
don’t think he gets enough honors for the turnaround jobs he did for Rams, Bills, Seahawks
great football coach
So Trey Quinn impressed at rookie mini camp.
I like what I’ve seen from him on film. He has that sneaky ability to separate and get open, often times with change of speed.
He’s gonna push Crowder off the roster
yes because playing future UPS staff is a great indicator of NFL success
it is encouraging, but let’s see how he does against the real talent like Norman, Dunbar and Moreau
Sean Welsh retired?
There goes our big UDFA hope at LG.
What?
Undrafted free agent signee Sean Welsh participated, but then announced his retirement from the game via Facebook, saying, “I’ve had apprehension about pursuing a professional career for some time.”
From the W%$#….
Jesus, what a turd. Oh well F it, on the next.
Better now, rather than pulling a Sua
Yep heart not in it
My guess he will focus on removing stigma of metal illness in athletes

Should Kyle Smith Become the Redskins New General Manager? (by @PSUHomer)
You can’t just go by the draft.
During the season, McGlue was aces at finding guys off the street.
Fans didn’t overrate McGlue…
I mean give us a break. We went years, decades, without a GM…and for a short while, we had one.
Matt Jones
Sua Cravens
Blah blah blah
Draft is a crapshoot. Jones was a surprise to me.
Cravens was a bad pick. There was plenty of evidence that he was a head case and not a football player.
He had me at Scherff.
I certainly overrated McC. Lot of misses and simply bad picks. PON would have served him better while in DC. But yes at least some form of respectability when he came on board.
quit crying .

LG is the big gaping wound on the team this year.
Def. coordinators are going to be attacking us there all season long.
We should just quit now.
Plan B…top 5 draft pick.
Next year.
Made her eat a Plan B
Just start getting ready for the 2019 season
Yeah, nothing goes our way…..
McC last one who tried to rectify along w RG Scherff…a few moons ago.
Maybe Lavaou turns out to be all that in ’18
You all need to watch some highlight film of this Martez Carter kid.

Needs work on his character. Serious lack of humility.
He enjoys running over people.
We’ve seen how far Seastrunks go in the NFL
Yeah but he went to Baylor. Can’t trust a Baylor kid, they lack moxey
Grambling though.
All they’ve got there is a band.
https://youtu.be/BWNQTqMkezc
yes I posted that about a week or so ago he looks amazing against that other competition I wonder how he’ll fare
Nice looking highlight reel.
Either he’s superhuman or the people he’s playing against aren’t.
