The Redskins lead the NFL in percentage of first round picks since the 2006 NFL draft to earn at least one career Pro Bowl selection, with 6 Pro Bowlers in 8 picks, or 75%. The Minnesota Vikings are second with 69.2%.
That was fun but we like to froze to death . Cold as shit with the wind blowing it’s ass off. Joe Gibbs was there , his grandson was racing . The kid qualified good ( fourth) , spun out right in front of us . Ty Gibbs .

Here’s a tip to all rappers… if you use the same word at the end of every line… you aren’t rhyming as much as just saying the same word over and over.

4th week bye is kinda lame.
It seems like we have an early bye almost every year. I think 2 years ago it was mid season… last 3 seasons besides that seemed to have been early
I guess you could bring back Seinfeld or Married With Children
Married With Children MAGA family, it would have to be.
They’d never do it.
Up until 2 days ago I was hoping for night court

Who do we have to pay to get that?
We have to build a new stadium.

It was kinda funny, they laid it on pretty thick though.
NewsRadio please
Once again…somehow….the iggles have the softest schedule in the division. Tied for 19th toughest schedule.
You’d think since they won the SB they would have the toughest.
They had three straight home games last season ffs
wts
2 hours of coverage on the nfl Network? WTF?
Nobody ever told you about Santa? 🙂
He’s going to be part of the two hours? Oh goodie goodie!
Yup, gonna bring us a average schedule, for once.
Nahhhh…NFC South and AFC South can be tough.
Yeah, depending on scheduling of away games, in relation to primetime, TNF, short weeks…that type of thing. Fuck Mara.
Imagine…….life without fear of primetime jitters.
14th toughest schedule
Schedules mean nothing in April….
Last season, few gave the Redskins a chance against the Raiders or the Seahawks.
Everyone is 8-8

Tighten up, Noone. Deputies getting gunned down in the Sunshine State.
These fuckers on nflnetwork “have reporters in several locations”. Of the seven locations, three were in the nfc east, except Washington.
(surprised face)
Curious, why all the excitement on tv and the interwebs about the NFL schedule release? There’s a countdown clock on NFL Network. Don’t get it.
What? A countdown clock?
Fucking thieves!
It’s completely ridiculous. That’s why we haven’t covered it here. We’ll post the schedule when it’s available, the end.

Maybe I should turn on the news.
I’m missing so much shit I don’t give a damn about.
Lol, not really. The inevitable…
Dwight Freeney has announced his retirement.
Last sack of his career………..Kirk SchMirk, fuck that guy.
I’m going to assume that because the draft is in dallas this year, Jurrah Jones is going to make sure that it’s the biggest and most disgusting spectacle of a draft ever.
Maybe we draft a future HOF’er to cast shade on the memory of it all…
If I go, do I get a Hogsty press pass so I can interview our first round selection?
I actually thought about trying to get credentialed for the draft since it’s only 4 hours away from me.
But we will be covering the Draft Day party at Fed Ex, though, including the press conference with the draft choices.

Fuck them
all the news orgs are so excited over that Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez is now heading up Cuba instead of a Castro
except that the Army, Secret Police, and the company that owns all the good businesses in Cuba are headed up by descendants of/or Castro relatives
so don’t expect any changes to happen
You mean they’re not excited about the McCabe news?
SHOCKING!

I thought Cuba was now a wonderful, beautiful democracy full of sunshine, butterflies, and happy people now.
13 year old hookers in Tri-five Chevys, woohoo! – Al Franken
Shotgun! – Wenier
It’s like people forget that Cuba has been under the thumb of a brutal, murdering dictatorship for many decades just because 44 opened the border with them for some crazy reason.
They are starting to loosen up, but it will take a good while. There are now private businesses in Cuba. Internet is becoming widely available.
That’s why you open countries like this up. Once they’re exposed to capitalism and the people have access to information, those communist systems don’t last long. See Vietnam.
Vietnam is still run by communists. It is NOT a success story. We basically gave up the chance to get rid of that government as a result of poor political choices during the Vietnam War.
Cuba isn’t ever going to change unless democracy comes. Don’t kid yourself. That government needs to go.
Labels aren’t all that useful. Vietnam’s government is putatively communist, but they have a very successful capitalist economy.
If you still have money & a centralized power structure, you’re not REALLY a communist.
-Karl
That, I agree with. They are really socialist dictatorships, basically.
More or less. The final phase of communism was supposed to be that the central government and economy would fade away. obviously it never happens.
The “socialist” part being that the government controls everything, rather than the people sharing everything and living in harmony, which was Marx’s (completely unrealistic) vision.
They’re really not even socialists anymore.
“Almost all Vietnamese people — 95% of them — now support capitalism, according to the Pew Research Center, which polled nearly 45 nations late last year on economic issues.
No other country in the poll cracked 90%. Even in the United States — where “socialist” can be used as an insult — only 70% agreed that a free market economy is the best kind of economy.”
We also have alot of incredibly stupid people in this country. For example, many of the geniuses behind the Occupy Wall Street movement – which gets my vote for the most poorly run and messaged, disorganized, worthless, and generally awful major U.S. protest movement in a long time – repeatedly told the media that they didn’t believe in capitalism.

Erie, PA the leader in snowfall this season, population >100K, with 198.5″. 16.54 FEET. Only 1″ off Buffalo’s all-time record, and the season ain’t over quite yet.
That’s for metropolitan areas.They’re not counting higher elevations, though. Mt. Baker Ski Area in Washington State has received 720″ of snow this ski season.

Did we sign Hankins, yet!
In some alternate universe, yes.
I do think a decision is coming soon, though.
rumor was he was going to make a decision before the draft
Yes.

You can post them if you want….just be ready to bear the wrath of the masses.
I don’t, but that dude does, among others
We’re going to have posts announcing each Redskins pick, though, so it won’t be a secret for too long.
Yes, thanks to the ignore button.
You have zero memory
So? I’m also retired, all I have to remember is, um, well crap I forgot.
Lol, I will accept that

But can you be sure, in this day and age?
Usually trip to a skin’s game twice a season. This season will only be one game to NO. Me and the Mrs. have never been there…adding a day or two to check it out.

also think about a Bayou tour, some come with a Plantation tour too
there are some nice bus tours which take you all over
cemeteries tours are cool also
and there are a ton of walking tours
Thanks noone
Great tip, I’d love to tour that.
I think it is now called the National WWII Museum

End of Work Day Sad — is when you travel 1 exit on the Interstate and you look at Google Maps and the road is red almost the entire length between the two exits
and Mrs Noone want to run errands after work today since it is supposed to rain this weekend
Waze…
Use Waze
which is owned by ….
Google
It is… but it will redirect you by social media reports on current traffic
Plain Google maps leaves you to your own devices
Waze is useful but it gets annoying after a while
Because of the conservation land around this part of the country I have three options
East – major road but under construction – making it wider
Central – Interstate but lots of traffic and one accident = you’re fucked
West – Combination major road and single lane secondary roads adds 30 mins to commute easy
I’ve had days where it took an hour and 15 min to travel 6 miles home.

Welcome to my world, every day. I spent at least 3 hours in the car every day, sometimes more.
As long as they don’t leak the draft picks 10 seconds before they’re formally announced. Hate that ish.
Jasno was the worst about it.
Got to stay off tweeter during the draft
Seems ESPN stopped showing draftees celebrating with their families 10 seconds before too. Hated that ish.
ESPN did that specifically at the request of the NFL in order to avoid the spoilers.
I’ll be darned, good on ’em.
Not sure why it’s wrong….reporters are just doing their job. The way to avoid that is to stay off your phone.
Didn’t say it was wrong, just hated it. And i stay off the phone just fine, peeps TI didn’t and one or two would post the pick in advance so I stayed off TI for the most part.
Yep… me too
I have sling, which is always like a minute behind so I have to put away my phone anytime I watch something live.

We’ll be 2 games up by then anyway.
Well the Giants Leak said they were playing Dallas week 17 no?
Also hearing more and more saying Skins – Cowboys on Thanksgiving
sounds like almost entire schedule for Bears, Jets, Giant and Packers are out
That puts Dallas as our week 16 game
NFL reporters ” It’s dumb that people are obsessed with finding schedule leaks. And now, here’s my article featuring a few schedule leaks I’ve learned about”

From the poll below, you kinda have to go DLine at that point, unless you wait till our last 7th round pick and take Poona.
I’m pretty sure POOONNNAAA!!! doesn’t make it out of the 1st round. A steal in the 2nd.
Poona will never slip by the Browns. No f’n way.

So, we got 2 polls for THS… one official, one less official.
Lets do the less official one first.

P.J. or Fred, depending
on?
What happens round 1 and 2.
This poll was based on the fact that our listeners already voted to draft Derwin James in round 1 and Sony Michel in round 2.
So far the hamster draft sucks
It’s not just a hamster draft. We do have other people besides you guys here, you know….
No you don’t… you really don’t
You may THINK you do…
…but you don’t
😉
The last 2 polls got well over 300 votes. I wish we could convince those other 285 jerks to come join us up here.
Our most popular polls are usually around draft time. I think one last year got over 1000 votes.
If we get Doc/B-Mitch retweeting em, they go through the roof.
I got at least 1000’s of “votes” on my poll.

Just heard the interview on G&D with the writer of the USA Today story, one tidbit he mentioned about Bruce Allen. Agents told him that Bruce goes back on his word with players.
I find that totally believable… he reminds me of a politician
He basically is a politician. It’s in his family.
I know… and he takes after it well
Not that well. Good politicians don’t finish in last place in a poll about trustworthiness and get re-elected.
See: Clinton, H.
There is no such thing as a good politician… so there

I hope to never wear a men’s dress shoe to work ever again
Skechers are great for people who like a cheap, poor-quality knock-off of another company’s design.
A 19-year-old southwest Florida man has claimed a $15 million top prize in a scratch-off game.
Florida Lottery officials say Quinn Kofler of Bonita Springs claimed the prize Wednesday in the new “Florida 100X the Cash” scratch-off game. He purchased the winning ticket at a 7-Eleven in Bonita Springs, near Fort Myers on the state’s Gulf Coast.
Officials said Kofler chose a one-time, lump-sum payment of $11.1 million. The retailer will receive a $30,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

Damn, my sleeper DL just got a whole lot more expensive. CRAZY numbers here:
“What Hall ended up doing was nothing short of exceptional. With his draft stock hanging in the balance, Hall showed everyone in attendance why he could be one of the best value picks in this draft. Measuring at just over six feet tall and weighing 308 pounds, Hall showed that he is perhaps the most athletic 300 pound player in this draft class. There was no official 40-yard-dash time released for Hall, but everyone had him timed in either the high 4.6 range or low 4.7 range; two scouts had Hall running a 4.67 and a 4.69. Both times would’ve ranked third among defensive linemen at the NFL combine earlier this month.
Hall’s most impressive feat was not his 40 time though; it was his vertical jump. In the first test of the day Hall lifted all 308 pounds of himself 38 inches off the ground. It was the highest vertical of any player at yesterday’s pro day. The 38-inch vertical would have ranked second among defensive lineman at the combine, just a half inch behind former Tulane defensive lineman Ade Aruna. Hall also had a very good broad jump, which measured out at 9-feet 8-inches, which would have been sixteenth overall among defensive lineman at the combine, but second among defensive lineman who weigh at least 300 pounds.
Hall also did 36 reps on the bench press, which would have been third among defensive lineman at the combine. Hall needed a good day to show scouts he was worthy of a draft pick. He ended up having a great day, which will greatly increase his draft stock.”
He’ll be there in the fourth
He may, because small school guys usually go lower than they should. Clearly a 2nd or 3rd round talent, IMO.
This is PJ Hall, right? Is he really a sleeper?
Yeah, and he WAS a sleeper … playing at Sam Houston State and not invited to the Combine.
Oh yeah, I forgot that he wasn’t invited to the Combine.

Wapo “journalism” at its finest. Doofas writes Dan Snyder a letter of praise with a plea to sign Cousins. And Snyder has someone send him an autographed photo. And the Doofas is so annoyed he’s “not mad, but impressed.”
What did this Doofas think would happen?
Dan would send for him, offer him a job…
“this photograph is worth 1.7 million, I bought it from a peasant merchant in Istanbul for $11, took me an hour to talk him down from $20.”

Yep, that alone really helps.
did you see where the JAX airport put up mural of new unis yesterday afternoon before today’s big reveal?
I didn’t hear about that. Things like that get leaked all the time but rare for it to be done by an airport
I only say “rare” because I don’t know, maybe it happened in the 30’s and I’m not aware.
This may or may not have been mentioned previously, but if I were GM in Cleveland…. I’d pass on QB again.
I know they got burned on Wentz/Watson passes, but the guys this year all look spotty to me.
What would not look spotty is landing any two of the gold jacket trio: Barkley/Nelson/Chubb.
Then again, they got one of the worst, imo, QBs in free agency, so they may not have a choice but take a 50/50 shot.
I honestly don’t think it matters.
Any shot Cleveland takes is like a 1/99 shot (Skins are at about 20/80).
All of these QBs have flaws, for sure. I think Rosen is the best of the bunch, but he comes with injury and attitude concerns. Darnold is #2, but he makes dumb decisions. Beyond those two, I don’t think any of Mayfield, Jackson, Allen are top of the draft guys. Mayfield & Jackson, mid to low first round, Allen rd 2 – 3.
Keep an eye on Josh Allen. If he goes to the right system, he’s going to be seriously good.
I can’t think of a QB whose lack of accuracy and completion percentage in college has noticeably improved in the NFL, and I can’t think of a QB from the last 20 years who had a completion percentage well below 60 who ended up being a quality starter worthy of a top of the draft pick. I threw this question open on twitter, and somebody responded with Brett Favre, who was 25 years ago, not 20 but okay, that’s one.
I think Allen is fool’s gold – critics are infatuated with his arm strength and size, but seem to ignore the fact that he can be very inaccurate, and couldn’t even win in the Mountain West conference. I think Josh Allen is going to get the GM who drafts him in rd 1 fired.
That’s fine. We’ll see what happens. I recall similar criticism of Carson Wentz.
Wentz was significantly more accurate in college.
He was still dogged because he played in the Mountain West.
Wentz played in the Missouri Valley Conference, not the Mountain West, although your point is the same.
But 64.1% in college is a far cry from 56%.
I’d spend a pick on someone with as strong an arm as Allen; it just wouldn’t be in round 1.
Wentz played in division 2. Not the Mt West which is Div 1.
Chuck Caserly has them ranked Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen, Jackson.
My ranking would be Rosen, Darnold, Jackson, Mayfield…………………………………..Allen.
Mayfield Rosen Darnold/Jackson……..Allen
I think if you want a QB Rosen and Darnold are probably very close and easily the best 1-2
What up coach. I had Watson to the Browns at 12 last year before Houston befuddled them. I got Mayfield as the top QB…but hopefully they pass and pick Allen. Only flaw I see w Mayfield is he didnt grow an inch or 2 more. I’m in the minority…meh
My problem with Mayfield, other than his size, is that his best quality seems to be his intangibles, plus he played in a spread system, and he’s from the Big 12. There aren’t alot of Big 12 QBs who end up being worthy of such a high draft pick. I think he’s a pretty big gamble for a top of the draft selection.
I dunno man. He torched OSU and UGA w some top pro prospects
Torched…..
Maybe. I hope it works out for him. Maybe it will. I just think he’s a risk.
Got ya
Mayfield and Darnold are going to be studs. Rosen could be, too, if he can stay healthy out of the doghouse.
I would definitely take one. I think Darnold, Mayfield, and Rosen are all going to be very good pros. Jackson and Allen may be too, but they’re riskier propositions. So, Darnold at No. 1 and then I’d probably try to trade out of the 4th spot, or else take Chubb. They have good guards and decent RBs in Hyde and Duke Johnson. Chubb and Garrett on the outside would be devastating.
Sounds like a solid plan.
I just think it would be interesting if they decided to skip the risk and go for the can’t miss prospects.
If they had Foles/Keenum/Cousins instead of Taylor, I’d like the plan better.
Good argument to be made that they’d be better served going Chubb than Barkley since Hyde is on the roster, yes, if they don’t want to take a QB with the first pick.

Good luck with the sale.

No better feeling than knowing your house was a by low sell high situation.
…and thanks
I saw a mock that had us trading back with NE. (NE going for Jackson.)
I thought that if they picked up any two of Payne/Hernandez/Guice/Michel with those picks (23 & 31), they’d be sitting very pretty going into round 2. And wouldn’t miss that 3rd much at all.
No thanks to Sony Michel
good RB but makes you worry about his fumbling and injury history
Simply not consistent enough
I don’t like his fumbling for sure. Otherwise, he’s a good back.
Given my preference, I’d like to see them pick up Payne and Hernandez in that situation. I want line strength, but at good value. (Dream big, if dreaming, right?)
You couldn’t remember yesterday…
I only peeked in yesterday. All I saw was some random chatter and the 100k thing. That inspired me to actually sign in today for the first time since the Smith trade. Sorry if I’m rehashing old territory.

Lol.
I saw that on PFT too. I interpreted that as, “Who is least likely to be a toady for the agents?”
It actually made me like him better than I did, which was not that much.
I think it’s more, most likely to f-up a deal.

Hey Noone… since you were posting facts about the Tampa Times… can you tell me how long these tariffs that are costing them millions a year have been in effect?
Do you not have Google on your computer? Also, as a former business owner, do you not understand that businesses have to project revenue and expenses when creating budgets?
Do you understand that projections are not facts? They are projections made in a vacuum? Most likley by a partisan group looking to make some sort of headline?

That’s all you needed.
Cool. I guess I’ll take a nap then.
We’ll wake you up in 15
I think that’s only accurate when given 8 years to turn around a team and he hasn’t done so.
I don’t know… Snyder has been in charge a lot longer and the fan base seems to hate him pretty well.
well to be fair you have to point the finger directly at him or he should pointed at himself he has done a lot of stupid things to engender hatred. Again I don’t hate anyone but he obviously doesn’t allow or higher real football people and get the hell out of the way. Perhaps and I say perhaps he’s gotten better but he still just needs to hire good football personnel and get the f*** out of the way
I often wonder what his criteria is for hiring the head of football operations. It doesn’t seem to be logical… almost entirely emotional
I don’t think Dan really knows what he needs, even after all these years.
and that’s very unfortunate. I think he’s like us extreme Redskins fan but he has billions of dollars. I’ve managed groups of people before and but I’m smart enough to know that I’m incompetent to run a football organization. I would hired really good football people and get the hell out of their way
What he needs is a smart business guy with pro sports experience to serve as team president, which he basically has in Bruce Allen, but then he also needs a GM to run football ops without interference, which he doesn’t have because of the ego of the team president.
I think this is pretty much spot on. He needs to separate Redskins, the business, from Redskins, the team… and keep Bruce out of “The Team” portion.
Amen!
Hallelujah!
Glory to the Native American Gods on the highest!
snyder loves allen because, well… “allen”.
yep the tariffs are killing the TB Times…
The Times has been plagued by financial woes for years, as print advertising revenues decline and more readership shifts online. In 2017, the Times struck a new debt deal with a $12 million loan from a group of local investors — including Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik — as well as $20 million secured credit facility, including a revolving line of credit and two term loans, from Encina Business Credit LLC.
The refinancing came after the Times bought and shuttered the Tampa Tribune, its longtime competitor, in 2016. The Times announced a previous round of layoffs in late 2016, after buying the Tribune.
In 2014, the Times walked away from its naming rights deal with the Lightning with four years remaining. The venue transitioned from Tampa Bay Times Forum to Amalie Arena at that time. Shortly after that, the Times announced it would cut its full-time staff by 5 percent.
The newspaper has also sold off several properties since 2014, including the former Tramor cafeteria and its flagship headquarters in downtown St. Petersburg.
newspapers should be dead already…yesterdays news…buh bye
Come on Noone… that doesn’t fit Ms. Shrills narrative. Facts are not allowed when crying on the blog.
So you’re implying that sharply higher material costs did NOT lead to layoffs, or what?
Oh I think it’s obvious to anyone that isn’t a complete moron… the Times was dying long before the tariffs.
Do you ever stop crying?
I think what should be obvious to anyone with a functioning brain is that raising business expenses by $10 to $15 million a year are going to result in lost jobs — particularly in an industry that’s already struggling.
This is the reason no one takes you seriously…
No
One
Actually it’s the reason no one takes you seriously. You don’t have the ability to argue your case. Or more accurately, you’re always picking the losing side of the argument and try to deflect from your failure with childish nonsense. Unfortunately it just makes you look childish.
Not Anyone
It’s absurd to blame the financial woes of a newspaper on tariffs. That’s idiotic. The entire print news industry is dying.
How can you expect to be taken seriously when you say stuff like that? The tariffs are costing this local paper over $10 million a year. As a result, they are having to cut jobs. It’s not even in the neighborhood of rocket science.
You’re just wrong, period. You have an agenda and desperately try to feed it at every opportunity. On what’s supposed to be a football blog.
I posted a quote from an article in The Hill a couple hours ago. Others have brought it back up several times.
And obviously YOU are wrong because a spokesman for the paper made the announcement citing the increased costs as the reason for these particular job cuts. You have absolutely no basis to deny what this business is saying, other your obvious partisan bias.
Beto could save them!
Sounds like more the “straw that broke the camel’s back”.
The management of the Times can stand up and say it’s the tariffs but if their revenue model was profitable they would have absorbed the costs or passed them along
they can’t because the newspaper business is slowly dying and has been for about 10-12 years
it would be like the Toys R Us people blaming the tariffs for Amazon killing them
You’re promoting a false dilemma. The paper was struggling to make it AND sharply increasing their costs makes it that much harder for them.
Now, if y’all want to be consistent, then let’s just say, “fuck the coal industry — it’s dying of its own accord.” But instead Republicans are trying to prop them up (picking winners and losers).
the coal industry should die
I hate both sides, they are all idiots and manipulate people like you all the time
🙂
Hey Noone, how long have these tariffs that are supposedly killing this newspaper been in effect?
note that scamp can’t even have a convo about newspapers w/o devolving into personal attacks like “ms shrill” and “moron”.
Please note that Walter can NEVER post on the blog about football and only comes here to follow me around
gee, i hope we draft a DL in the first round.
and, my point stands.
Yawn…
The only point you ever have is to cry…
You and D_C are 2 peas in a pod and a waste of time.
Buh bye
thanks for illustrating my point.
I think it’s interesting to note that only 3 of the Redskins draft selections were theirs originally.
We should convert all bathrooms to uni-sex and get rid of the whole bathroom bill issue all together

Agreed
Friggin Bruce Allen….wth is Dan waiting for? He’s been bad, really bad for some time, now this…..
Tbf this is only news for us fans npt inside the nfl. Snyder should know what Bruce’s rep is in the league as an idiot
Right, so why is he still employed?
I don’t think Bruce is hated by the NFL like fans think. Fans are just projecting their anger for the mediocrity on him in particular. He hasn’t been great (as I’ve written twice in the past month), but he’s also not nearly as horrible as the fans would want to believe. At least in my opinion.
by your own article we were what, 4th or 5th from the bottom? How bad a job would he have to do for you to give him the blame?
Bruce wasn’t employed here for all of those 25 years. He’s been here for 8. I place far, far more blame on Dan Snyder’s leadership than anyone else.
Bruce hasn’t been successful, clearly, as I showed, but I also don’t have a huge hatred of him like some do.
It’s easy to say others hate someone, I don’t hate anyone, but I do wish he were replaced.
I’m not referring to you specifically.
Neither was I you, it’s just a pet peeve of mine that many say that others hate someone when really it’s not hate at all.
Try and read our twitter mentions for a week. It’s hate.
yikes, that’s sad.

There’s no need for any bathroom bills either way – I’m not in favor of giving rights to people to choose what bathroom they want to use, and I’m not in favor of making a big scene by passing legislation banning what should be obvious anyway. What I’d be extremely upset about is giving a man who chooses to wear a dress the right to use the same bathroom and locker room as our wives and daughters. That’s just wrong.
And as far as the stats you cited, I’m sure the state was in much, much better shape when Ann Richards was governor….right?
Ann Richards turned the State around. Great governor.

Hey Austin… where did you get that ranking. I would be curious to see where California and South Carolina rank in all those areas.
Under our form of Government, these rankings are only somewhat valid. States vary tremendously with regard to individual rights and some have tremendous benefit programs, ie; entitlements. Makes these not entirely accurate imo.
They are only an insight… not much more
