The Weird World Of Washington Redskins Stuff

There is a reason why Dan Snyder makes so much money. I've stumbled across some random Redskins stuff for sale on the net. Note to bachelors: tread lightly or you may look like the 40 year old virgin Redskin fan.

Take your date home and show her your room:

When hanging a giant "Dallas Sucks" sign:

Trust me, chicks dig these bro:


And girls love this stuff, it's all about the logo...not the fit:

You can sit on your couch, watching the clock tick until kickoff, drinking a brewski:
Then play some games during half time:

Or fire up the grill:

Ok, that's enough. I gotta stop. It's obvious Dan Snyder has half of China hard at work building us these incredible products. For real though, a jersey is sufficient, there is a thin line between bleeding burgundy and falling victim to commercialism.

I love seeing the old school stuff that fans made with their own hands. You know, the old bus that was converted to a tailgating machine, those Redskins bean bag toss games you see in the parking lots, an old refrigerator painted burgundy and converted into a giant kegerator, or a simple Redskins blanket hand made by a relative. That's the good stuff. Made for fans by fans. Let me know if you have any custom built Redskins stuff and I'll post it. Or tell me about a cool Skins contraption you've seen.

Hail.

Former Redskin Heath Shuler Is "Washington's Finest"

Upcoming Washington, D.C. magazine "Washington's Finest" has former Redskins Quarterback of the Future - Heath Shuler on the cover in one of their preview ads. I saw it and did a double take. Washington's finest? Seriously?

For those that do not know or remember, Heath Shuler was the Redskins first round draft pick (number 3 overall) in 1994. He was dubbed the Redskins Quarterback of the Future for all of 18 games that he started for the Redskins. Shuler was traded to the Saints after his third season in Washington and losing the starting job to Gus Frerotte (who is still in the NFL).

I am sure Heath Shuler is a good guy, and maybe even a great congressman, but Washington's finest? Maybe this new magazine should consider putting Brandon Lloyd on the cover for a special Christmas edition of Washington's Finest. LMAO.

Almost, but no cigar
At least the Redskins moved on from Shuler very quickly. The recent drawn out quarterback projects in Detroit, Houston, San Fransisco, Chicago, and Baltimore have paralyzed those respective teams for years (then again, so were the Skins after Shuler). Maybe Joey Harrington, David Carr, Alex Smith, Rex Grossman, or Kyle Boller can one day return to their inaugural team's city and run for mayor or something....maybe they can be on the cover of that city's newest and lamest magazine.
Hail.
