Dallas Says N.O. to T.O.

2009-03-05T14:49:00.002-05:00

Quick, someone sign him before Snyder and Cerratto find out he's available! Good God almighty, don't bring that sack of scrotal stain to D.C.!

We've spent enough. We have enough high profile players now. Just let this one go Danny. Vinny, quit touching yourself, we do NOT NEED T.O.!

The last high profile cowboy you brought over screwed you out of a ton of jack....remember Neon Deion?

Nuff said, we don't need him, don't want him and I will root for the damned lions next season if you sign him.

Now in honor of T.O.'s departure, we offer you this:

Just $12.95 navy blue with grey deco. No more popcorn baby, it's time to pack them bags and head out the door! www.hogsofolddc.com

Taylor Out!

2009-03-02T19:35:00.002-05:00

The Redskins today cut DE Jason Taylor after one injury riddled season of sub par play. He was asked to participate in 25 days of off season workouts with the team as a condition of his return for an $8 million payday.

I guess it takes more than that to make an old dog perform old tricks.

I thought he was a dolphin, but it seems to me he floundered around and lost big money.

Hey Hey Hey, It's Fat (contract) Albert!

2009-02-27T10:40:00.003-05:00

That's right Hogs fans, the Redskins fantasy football owner Daniel Snyder has opened his wallet, dug deep and signed now-former Tennessee Titans Defensive Tackle Albert Haynesworth to an astonishing 7 year, $100 million contract. I imagine little Danny was like a kid on Christmas Eve, bugging Vinny every hour if it was time to open the presents yet.

The team has scheduled a 5pm newsconference today to announce the acquisition. I'm just hoping that Mr. Haynesworth makes good on his promises to "prove the doubters wrong" after being signed to such a high paying contract.

If he continues his dominance as he showed last year, we're in good shape. But I'm reminded of some other high priced acquisitions that pretty much crapped the bed. Deion Sanders, Adam Archuleta, Brandon Lloyd, Dana Stubblefield, Mark Brunell, and the list goes on.

On the bright side, we also managed to lock up CB Deangelo Hall to a six-year $54 million dollar deal. This one will pay huge dividends going forward.

HTTR!

Marcus Gone, Jason Staying Put

2009-02-22T17:42:00.003-05:00

Well Hog fans, I don't quite know how to take this latest development in the Redskins offseason. It seems our brilliant leaders in the front office have trimmed Marcus Washington out of the upcoming season, turning him loose to go win a ring somewhere else, undoubtedly, while hanging on to Mr. Freeze, that guy from Criminal Minds, ugh, sorry, Jason Taylor.

It appears we're letting a long time Redskins pillar and leader in the locker room go for cap room, while hanging onto Mr. I'm Gone Next Year Fools.

I don't know folks. I'd love to see Taylor return to form and become that dominant QB sacking machine that he used to be. But frankly, I think he's making a final $8million before two-stepping off into the sunset. Kinda reminds me of Neon Deion......

The Offseason has officially begun

2009-02-12T14:12:00.003-05:00

It looks as though the NFL offseason is in full swing. We've already gotten reports about Tony Romo not necessarily saying he want's T.O. back in big D.

There's reports that Michael Vick and T.O. might team up to form some sort of super-jackass-duo for a super-jackass team owner in Al Davis and don the black and silver for what would be, in my opinion, the funniest thing ever put on a field. Imagine the huddle: "Vick, you my quarterback but you ain't throwin' T.O. the ball!" "T.O. you know you my dog." And every connection that Vick makes, every first down he manages to pick up....you know what the P.A. system is going to be playing right?

We've got news flowing in that Brett Favre is retiring, AGAIN. Whoopty-doo. I'll believe it when I see it, and I'm sure most of you will too. I mean, really. Who's buying this guy's statements anymore? Maybe he'll end up in Canada or something, become an Argonaut or whatever they hell they call themselves. Knowing Candian Football, they'll rename the team to the Niagra Favres or something.

And there's even rumors that Al Davis is, in fact, NOT just an embalmed pygmie in a track suit, that he's actually a living, breathing human being. I don't know about this one folks.

So, as the offseason machine starts to churn, we would like to send our condolences to the family and friends of Mel Kaufman, linebacker for all three Redskins championship teams, who passed away this week at the way too young age of 50.

We'll keep you posted on the happenings that we feel are worth mentioning. In the meantime, hang loose.

It's Over, Dammitall

2009-02-03T10:36:00.003-05:00

Well, the Superbowl has come and gone, I've finally sobered up and Kurt Warner's kids won't be getting a puppy afterall. It's a shame too. I was really pulling for the Cardinals, as were many of the fans across the country.

I harbor no ill will towards the Steelers, mind you, however, I'm not a fan of Hines Ward. It's one thing to lay someone out when it's necessary and conducive to the play, it's another to just blindside some guy because you have the opportunity. That's not intensity, that's assault.

Either way, the Skins were enjoying the Superbowl, much like I was, at home on the couch. And for that, I'll take solace in the fact that we get another run in a few months.

I'll leave you with one last thought. The Cardinals may not have won it all, but they sure opened alot of eyes around the league when the post season got here. Everyone was counting them out before the bell rung, and they showed true poise in the face of the doubters. In honor of one time head coach Dennis Green, I present to you:

AJ Smith - Pompous Ass

2009-01-23T14:20:00.003-05:00

Chargers GM AJ Smith - Pompous Ass

That's right. POMPOUS ASS. After Ladanian Tomlinson commented on his web site earlier this month and spoke about his future with the team, AJ Smith told the San Diego Tribune “My first reaction was we both have similar feelings. I have no intentions of leaving San Diego. San Diego is where my GM career started and where I’d like it to end. I also have nothing but love and the utmost respect for this team, the players and the Spanos family. I have absolutely no control over how long I will be with the Chargers.
“As for now, I am the Chargers’ GM, and I have major decisions to ponder for the organization now and in the future. My recommendation to Dean Spanos will be what’s in the best interest of the team – both short and long term. That’s my job. That’s what Dean hired me to do.”

Almost a word-for-word recreation of LT's statement. Why?

Is he simply trying to get under LT's skin and take a few cheap shots at the man? Or has he become so power hungry and antagonistic in his role with the Chargers that he feels more like a man by proving that he is, in fact, a Pompous Ass?

LT has done so much for a team that, for so long, was an also-ran. He's brought attention, class and talent to a team that nobody ever seriously thought about unless they lived in San Diego or one of the other 3 AFC West Team home towns.

AJ Smith does have a hand in deciding LT's future with the team, as he IS the General Manager. I ask you though, is this anyway for a GM to behave publicly about one of his team's most popular and talented athletes? I think not.

It's about time for Spanos to step up and put AJ under the microscope. If this is how he begins the off season, imagine how he'll be acting come spring training and the draft. Personally, I think it's time to cut out the dead wood.

Keep an eye out for our new AJ Smith tee, he's going to be thrilled.

Saint Ben!

2009-01-19T15:13:00.003-05:00

Ah yes, Big Ben! The Patron Saint of Pittsburgh Football has once again led them to the promise land.

I think you should all celebrate this great day and commemorate it with cheesesteaks, brats and beer! Consider it a sacrifice!

This tee is available in the Hog Shop!

Philty Ickles Lose! Baltimore Browns Lose!

2009-01-19T14:33:00.002-05:00

Oh what a banner day for HogsOfOldDC! We were sure we were going to have to witness an all bird superbowl. Thank god for Big Ben and the boys! And way to go Arizona! It looks like you really DO have a football team out there after all.

We have a St. Ben shirt on the way folks, but for now, we think you'll enjoy this Baltimore Browns tee as well.

Plax's newest business venture

2009-01-13T20:41:00.002-05:00

Poor Poor Pitiful Plax...

Can't stay out of trouble with the law. He's a modern day Duke boy. Only he's not in Hazard County. He's in the big apple, screwing up big time.

With his football future in jeopardy, we thought it was prudent that Plax look towards a business venture in which he has plenty of experience already.

Redskins fans, if you haven't noticed, there's not a ton of information out there for us to gnaw on. The Redskins have once again retracted into the safety of their lush offices and forgotten about the world as we know it.

Here's to hoping there's something, ANYTHING, coming out of Redskins Park soon! I'm about tired of this deafening silence.

SO...with that in mind, here's a few Redskins trivia bits to chew on:

On November 8, 1959 the Washington Football Redskins pulled off an upset against the Baltimore Football (leavin' in the middle of the night) Colts at Griffith Stadium with a final score of 27 - 24

In 1959 our head coach was Mike Nixon, a first time head coach.

Our quarterback was Eddie LeBaron

Believe it or not, Vice President Richard Nixon was a diehard Redskins fan.

Ok..so enough about that crap....let's shop:

$12.95 in the Hog Shop!

And then there were four...

2009-01-12T09:54:00.003-05:00

Wow, I've got to give it up for the Arizona Football Cardinals this weekend. Was that the biggest upset of the postseason or what?

Kurt Warner is returning to his roots as a GOOD quarterback and that defense was spanking the Panthers all day long. That's great for Coach Wisenhunt and the crew. I hope they can make it all the way to Tampa.

Regarding the Baltimore Browns...meh....they beat the Titans. Not a huge surprise there in my opinion. The Titans were looking rough down the stretch and Baltimore has been in this position before. I hold Jeff Fisher personally accountable for allowing the Baltimore Browns to advance into the championship game.

Regarding the Ickles vs. obGyMEN aka the Giants...it was only a matter of time. The Giants were paper tigers in that game. They pushed, they fought, they crumbled. When McNabbit can throw and run all over you, it's time to reconsider your career path. Hell, the Redskins spanked the Eagles TWICE this year.

And finally, the Steelers vs. Chargers. GOOD! I hate Phillip Rivers. And not because he's a better than average, actually good, quarterback on an opposing team. I hate him because he's a pompous little hot head that thinks the fans owe HIM something. Flash: Mr. Rivers, those fans pay your salary. Get over yourself.

So now we get to look forward to a Steelers vs. B-Browns matchup, there will be blood.

Eagles vs. Cardinals, there will be feathers. Either way, it's shaping up to be a great championship weekend. I think we're looking at an all bird superbowl, my prediction: Cards vs. Ravens.

In the meantime, get your gear at the Hog Shop!

Arizona has a what now?

2009-01-11T10:44:00.004-05:00

Seriously, who knew? I always heard rumors of a football team in the southwest, but I didn't know they were a professional club. Why didn't anyone bother to inform the rest of us that Arizona actually had a FOOTBALL team now?

To commemorate the news, we've decided to honor them with this way cool tee shirt!

2 Former Skins in the Playoffs this weekend!

2009-01-09T10:18:00.004-05:00

It's a rough time of the year for Redskins Fans. We don't have a team to root for in the post season.

HOWEVER - you can stroll down memory lane and support some of our former greats as their new teams battle for their post-season lives:

Russ Grimm - One time HOG, Hall of Fame Candidate and Offensive Coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals! It's my belief that this man will have a head coaching spot in 2009!

Ernest Byner - Running backs coach for the Tennessee Titans. He used to tear up the yards in DC, now he's showing the new generation how it's done!

Now, there are other former Redskins still actively playing that are on playoff teams this year, but I refuse to pull for them. I'm THAT guy. I know they might not have chosen to leave us, but they're on the opposition now.

So I'm throwing my support behind the Titans and the Cardinals for a Superbowl Showdown. (though, I'm pretty sure Arizona goes home this weekend)

Vinny.....

2009-01-02T12:10:00.002-05:00

Ah, our very own GM/Executive Vice President of Football Operations and all around pain in the ass has spoken!

“Every decision, every situation,” he said. “The only people who don’t have to do that are the people holding the [Lombardi] trophy. Otherwise, everyone else is going through the same [evaluation process].

“What happened? Why did this happen? If we had done something different, would that have given us a different result? How do we get better? To improve, you have to look at the things that you did, because 8-8 is not where you want to be.”

I just want to know one thing Vinny...are we evaluating the front office too? Can you honestly be objective enough to say "Hey, I'm screwing up big time here, I need to go!"? I doubt it. That luxury box at FedEX Field is too nice to give up just because you're a schmuck.

A New Year - A New Hope

2009-01-01T11:29:00.002-05:00

Happy New Year!

With our Redskins out of the post season, there's not much to do in Hogland but look forward to next season, and hope to hell the Eagles and Giants get eliminated quickly.

With things seeming to have settled on the Head Coach front, Jim Zorn does get to stay put after all, we can now start picking apart what went wrong, who needs to be replaced and what positions definitely need some fresh blood.

It's my opinion, and has been all season, that we seriously need to upgrade our aging offensive and defensive lines. These guys are great, they play their hardest, but age is catching up to them. Pete Kendall, Jon Jansen, Andre Carter, Casey Rabach, Ray Thomas, Jason Taylor....these guys are in their early to mid 30's. If they were situational players, I'd say keep 'em, but as starters going against younger, faster and more aggressive players for four quarters a week, it's just not a good situation.

I remember the days of the Over The Hill Gang, and I remember they did great things, but I also remember the downward spiral they found themselves in as those guys got hurt, tired and left the team. We need a youth movement, we need guys that haven't accomplished much yet, someone who's hungry every snap of every game.

I look for upgrades on both sides of the ball where the guys put their hands in the dirt and lock horns. There's no doubt that we need to shore up some secondary positions, develop some talent in the defensive backfield, but I think our most pressing issue is protecting OUR quarterback and getting after opponents' quarterbacks.

I say this with the utmost respect for the players we have and for what they've done, but they are getting just a little long in the tooth. Bugel needs some players that he can coach from the ground up, and put in HIS style of line play.

Vinny, however, is already talking about drafting skill positions on offense. Like we need anymore receivers and tight ends or running backs??? Come on, unless someone just falls into your lap, get the players we NEED Vinny....quit collecting names and start collecting TALENT, NECESSARY TALENT!!!!

2009 Season Opponents Announced

2008-12-31T02:09:00.003-05:00

As we get ready for the post season and looking forward to the 2009 season, the NFL has released the full slate of opponents for the Redskins next year.

Home Games will be against: Dallas, New York Giants, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Denver, Kansas City and St. Louis

Away Games will be against: Dallas, New York Giants, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Carolina, Oakland, San Diego and Detroit

Looks like a fairly even season in terms of opposition if we use this season as a gauge. Of course, all of that changes when the new season kicks off.

My predictions going forward will be posted as we get past the superbowl!

Detroit Perfection Shirts Are Here!

2008-12-29T18:37:00.003-05:00

Ok everyone. The first of our Detroit Lions Perfection Shirts has arrived!

Check it out:

These are on sale now in the Hog Shop for a limited time. We have a few more designs to put out there for you, but this is a preview taste! Let's show our support to a team that proved you CAN lose every game in one season.

8-8, a hard way to finish out

2008-12-28T21:34:00.002-05:00

Well Skins fans, we lost a big one in San Francisco. I give all the credit in the world to Hill and Coach Singletary for sticking it out and making something out of nothing. After the 49ers pitiful 2nd and 3rd quarters, it would have been easy to pack it in, and go home for a few months. But they stuck it out and showed us that our secondary was sleeping.

I admire everything the Redskins and Coach Zorn have accomplished this season, and if you think back to the preseason, we didn't underperform according to most everyone's prediction. At best, we were predicted to win 9 games....that's at BEST!!! We came up at .500 on the season with a first year head coach, the fourth offensive system for our QB and frankly, I'm proud of these Redskins!

They fought through injury, turmoil, and turnover at the top. They never quit, never gave up and if 8-8 is a lousy season, I'd love to see a good one. We're not the Lions, we're not the Chiefs, we won some big games this year and sparks of greatness were shown. I applaud every player and coach on that team for a great year! Of course, the post season would have been nice, but 8-8 is amazing for a coach that's never been in that leadership role before.

Congratulations to our 2008 Washington Redskins. A turnover here, a touchdown there, and we'd be talking about a Superbowl....but all in all a great season, and I'm looking forward to improvement for 2009!

Hold your heads up high DC.....you have nothing to be ashamed of! HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!

PERFECTION!!!!!!!

2008-12-28T16:52:00.002-05:00

With apologies to Rod Marinelli and the players...

Detroit has finally made history! It was a long time in the making, and they worked hard to achieve this dream, but Detroit is now the proud owner of the WORST record ever in the history of Pro Football!

How do you not win ONE game? You can blame the owner, the president, the gm, the coach....but damn....how do you go completely winless!!!?????

Anyways, check back soon for some Perfect Season tees you can purchase to commemorate the occasion.

I don't wish this on anyone, but since it happened, I'm going to pile it on.

Zorn on the way out...mark my words

2008-12-24T17:36:00.002-05:00

As much as I hate to say it, I think Jim Zorn is coaching his last game this Sunday vs. the 49ers.

Cerrato has made the death statement, "Why wouldn't he be back?" Didn't we hear similar statements regarding Marty Schottenheimer, Norv Turner and Steve Spurrier????

2 were fired, Spurrier however, left with his tail between his legs and has since been the bane of the SEC.

Jim, I think you're doing a fantastic job, and I want you back next year and beyond! You brought something to this team that no other coach has since the days before multi-million dollar contracts.

My Christmas wish is that we continue to keep Zorn and his staff firmly in place for many years to come. Just upgrade some line positions on O and D and we'll be JUST FINE!!!!!

Remembering Sammy

2008-12-23T19:35:00.004-05:00

Hey Everyone,

Here at HogsOfOldDC, we feel for Sammy Baugh and his family during their time of grief. Sammy suffered from Alzheimer's and I personally know what that's like.

My own Mother passed away from complications due to Alzheimer's. In memoriam of Sammy, and my Mother's undying love for all things Redskin, I have designed a tee to recognize Sammy's passing.

Every sale of this shirt guarantee's a $5 donation to the Alzheimer's foundation in my Mother's name: Joneta Mothershead. She is THE reason I am a Redskin fan, and THE reason I am who I am today. Sammy might even be getting an earful from her as we speak! :)

This sale profits HogsOfOldDC.com less than $1 per shirt. We are NOT TRYING TO PROFIT from this sale. This is strictly in memory of the ONLY Redskin to ever have his number retired and in the memory of my Mother...the smallest woman EVER to root BIG for the Redskins!

The Iggles Go Down!

2008-12-22T09:41:00.002-05:00

HTTR!!!! We pulled off a nailbiter to end the season at home. 10 - 3 over the Philthadelphia Iggles! Two sacks on McNabb, a fumble recovery and an all around ballsy performance by our defense!

Congrats to the Skins on their big, BIG win! We may be out of the race for the post season, but we showed that we're not going down without a fight!

Slingin' Sammy Passes Away

2008-12-19T15:43:00.001-05:00

The Redskins Nation has lost one of it's all time greats. Slingin' Sammy Baugh passed away this week at the ripe old age of 92. A legend in his own time, and a legend still today, he will be missed by many.

Rest In Peace, Show 'em how it's done up there Sammy!

Blame for everyone...almost

2008-12-15T17:48:00.003-05:00

Well it appears that there's plenty of blame to go around at Redskins park today. According to this article, Coach Zorn blames first himself, then the rest of his staff for the lackluster performances on the field the last half-season. And while I admire a man who can admit he's made mistakes, why would it take this long to realize it?

Doesn't that smell of a "I'm afraid to blame anyone else because I'm just the new guy here" kind of remark?

And then Clinton Portis takes a turn at the blame game. You might remember last week when he lit up Coach Zorn on the radio. Well this week, he keeps the blame closer to home, as you can read in this article. CP seems to think that the players on the team are letting themselves down.

I don't know about you, but I'm thinking we may have seen the first, last and only season under the Zorn regime. I haven't heard anything from Dan The Fan's office but they usually wait until after the season to mess things up. I mean, change things for the better. (right).

Either way, I think the effort shown is indicative of an aging offensive and defensive line. You can nitpick other areas, but where the majority of the problems start and end are with the lines. We have virtually no pass rush, we can't hardly protect the QB long enough for him to even drop back and set up a pass, let alone pass it, and lately: We can't run between the tackles most plays.

Fix what's broken, leave what isn't and I bet we have the tools to turn this whole thing around for the 2009 campaign.

Hail Redskins! Hold your heads up high, better days are a comin'!

Redskins to host the Philthydelphia Iggles

2008-12-15T15:47:00.002-05:00

Let's get up for this one Hogs and Hoggettes! We play host to the Philtydelphia Iggles this weekend at 4pm!

I know our playoff hopes are all but gone, but we can go out with a little pride in our pockets by thrashing McNabb and the boys. Come on everyone, show some love to those sons of old DC!

Make sure you pick up one of our very cool Hip Hip Hooray Tees today for yourself or someone you love! More designs coming soon!

Let us know what you'd like to see added to the HogsOfOldDC.com Hog Shop and we'll do our best to accomodate you.

2008-12-15T08:34:00.003-05:00

OK everyone. After having a night to sleep on it, and get the alcohol out of my system, I've come to the conclusion that our problems are what they are. We're not executing every snap of the ball and because of that, other teams are taking full advantage of the opportunity.

Let's get a fire lit under these Skins for the last two games and at least go out on top this year. Winning records DO count for something. Plus, we need to heal our pride.

Take today to vent about yesterday then move on. Anger is allowed, but only for the day following the game. After that we need to get geared up moving forward and throw 100% support behind these guys.

Tough loss, tough way to lose, but hey, it is what it is....

Quick Note

2008-12-14T16:24:00.000-05:00

To anyone and everyone that follows the Hogs Of Old DC blog, I just want to let you know that the blog will start to look BETTER graphically soon. I'm starting it up just now, and will be working on it throughout the week to dress it up.

Thanks for visiting, please leave comments. Keep them PG rated though. Sometimes my kids and maybe even YOURS might be browsing through. Don't get filthy. If you wouldn't say it in front of your child, don't say it here.

Redskins @ Bengals

2008-12-14T16:17:00.000-05:00

Well, what can I say? The first quarter we crapped the bed. In a BIG way. Cooley fumbles on a pass, and gives Cincy everything it needs to start playing football this year. I love Chris Cooley like a brother, but hey, his mistake gave Cincy something to build on.

The blame for the rest of the 1st quarter is placed on the defense and, honestly, our offensive line. Campbell may not be the next coming of Sonny Jurgenson, but hell, he's the best we've had since Joe Theisman. Give the man a few seconds to throw the ball wouldja?

Our offensive line has struggled since the time we went 6-2 this year. They've been giving up protection as if their jobs are to stand and watch the game up close. What the hell?

The second quarter, into the middle of the third quarter looked like REDSKINS FOOTBALL to me. We were connecting on passes, C.P. was finding hard yardage everywhere we turned, then the officials give the friggin' Bengals the ball on a bogus-assed call at the goal line.

I do own a High-Def t.v. and DVR, and guess what? Sellars got across the goal line before that ball was stripped with his second effort. I know that doesn't matter for hell right now, we lost, but the officiating sucked.

At any rate, I'm still lovin' the Skins, and always will. I just with the o-line would take the games more serious from the first snap. A lot of good things happened today too. Sellars, Portis, Moss, Campbell, Cooley, Fletcher, etc...they all had moments. And at this point, I'm hoping to end the year with a winning season. I really don't want to make it to the playoffs if it means a first round defeat. That's worse in my mind than not making the post season at all.

Continue fighting 'Skins, you have the right coach and most of the right players! Hail To The Redskins!!!!!!

First and foremost, I want to state for the record that I am and have been since I can remember, a die hard Redskins fan.

Don't assume that to mean that I always agree with or support the Redskins. I love the team, the colors, the history, but I don't always love the personnel and the decisions they make. I WILL definitely rag on them if they crap the bed, as they did today in Cincy, but when they do good things I praise them for it as well.

I am NOT a fair weather fan, I don't care what anyone says. I bleed burgundy and gold. However, in the same way that a parent shows their child tough love, I treat MY team the same way.

I have started this site, because I moved to South Carolina from Maryland in 2006 and I dearly miss being in my team's hometown. I love, LOVE the Redskins. Get it in your head now. I LOVE THE REDSKINS!!!!

Welcome to my world, I will update you on everything I think about the 'Skins as the season and offseason progress, and in turn, I hope you will find my tshirt designs good enough to add to your collection.
