All Quiet on the Western Front

I'm stuck out here in Dallas till Wednesday and loving every minute of it. The Bama @$$ Cowgirl fans that were talking sh!7 Friday and Saturday have all apparently lost their voices. I'm going to enjoy walking around this piss poor excuse of a city in my Landry jersey waiting for an Broke Back Cowgirl Fan to say something.

I have a bunch of pics and stories to post as soon as I get decent internet access. Until then, I'm going to try and keep you guys updated from my Treo.

Hail to the Redskins

McNabb you're next!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

WE WANT DALLAS!

Life in this God awful town

I've been in Dallas for 24 hours now and I can't stand this place. I want to come back to DC now and I'm stuck here in Broke Back Hell till Wednesday. The people out here are idiots and I can see why everything is bigger in Texas. All these Bamas do is stuff their faces full of fried food and drink PBR.
I can't imagine why someone would want to live out here.

If I were to die and end up in Hell I think Dallas would be an exact duplicate of it. Everywhere I go it's Broke Back Blue and Silver. Last night I was at a local bar that had a Miller Lite sign that read," Great Beer, Great Team" I wanted to Puke when I saw it. I ended up sitting under the sign just so I could turn it off when no one was looking. The Bartenders apparently didn't think it was funny but they're just lucky I didn't rip it off the wall and smash it over their heads.

I've never missed home so much in my life but I know it'll be worth it Sunday afternoon when We Whoop On these Dallas Bamas.

HTTR

I've Finally landed

I've finally landed in Dallas after getting help up in Security for a while.

Jerry Jones told the TSA to search my stuff and give me a hard time but I'm out of security now and it's on. The Cowgirls and their broke back fans have no idea what's in store for them. Put every Dallas Bama on notice that I'm coming for them. This is WAR!

Verse 1
When they see the Gold and Burgundy they know we come from Washington
Cowboys confident about their dominance I caution them
See me? I’ve been watching them examine the forensics
Against the Jim Zorn offense them Boys will be defenseless
Don’t you think that makes sense? Yeah now peep my Redskins
Jason Campbell’s blossoming the league’s best possibly
Jason make it rain on them Go Santana end zone
Cowboys’ corners @$$’d out swinging on a stripper pole
Feed the ball to Portis Clinton is a meatatarian
Dallas tacklers piling on across the goal he carries them
Sunday we expose the mighty Boys as mediocre
Dallas it’s gon be a dark night for you jokers
Chorus
We whoop on Dallas bammas
On on Dallas bammas
We whoop on Dallas bammas

Verse 2
I feel like the Cowboys deserve no respect
I feel like the Cowboys are all convicts
I feel like TO only care about how much he catch
When they ain’t won a playoff game since 96
When Andre Carter put’cha shoulder into Romo’s chest
It’s gonna take Romo a quarter to regain his breath
And all those speedster receivers Dallas likes to feature
Let Rogers and Springs feed you picks and incompletions
Oh!
We putting on a show
Bring you popcorn TO we’re bringing our nachos
Cause this is not your day for victory ya taking a loss
Marion Barber takes a beating from Rocky McIntosh
We got that big Skins defense and that big momentum
Gonna put big cleats up into big D’s rectum
Go Washington

Go Washington
It’s a historic rivalry
It’s Dallas and DC
And the winner will be
The men representing Gold and Burgundy

Let’s Go!
We whoop on
We whoop on
We whoop on

I HATE DALLAS!

It's that time of year again when all of these Bama @$$ Cowboy fans that have never even been to Dallas talk sh!t. I've received text messages all week long saying, "Redskins Suck. 'You're going to get your ass beat.' 'Romo is going to crush the Dead Skins."

The real kicker was a voice mail I got from an acquaintance saying, " Dallas gets No Respect. We're going to demolish you guys"

Was this retard serious?

Pasta Belly, The Swami, John Madden, Sports Illustrated ...all of these "Experts" won't get off Jerry Jones jock. ESPN and every other media outlet (except Comcast Sportsnet) are basically crowing the Cowboys Superbowl Champs and it's only week 4.

"This is Dallas' year." "They are going all the way."

"Romo and TO can't be stopped"

I understand these media outlets get paid to write stories and these over rated Broadcasters have to produce ratings but be some what objective and show the other side of the coin.

Respect is something that is earned not given.

AND

Dallas hasn't earned Jack $h!t.

They haven't won a playoff game in 13 years.

Their QB can't even hold onto a snap for Pete's sake.

Their Cry Baby WR tried to kill himself because his team sucked so bad.

Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game in his entire coaching career.

The last time we played Dallas we crushed them 27-6.

Marion Barber was held to 1 rushing yard for the whole game.

Honestly what is there to Respect?

Your team is overrated and Dallas fans are just attention whores.

I have a hypothesis as to why there are so many Cowboy fans in DC.

I believe that all of these DC Cowboy fans were neglected as children by their parents and now they are trying to make up for that lack of attention by wearing that disgusting Broke Back Blue and Silver Jersey out in public.

I was at this past weekends Cardinals game and there was this woman wearing a Romo Jersey and all I could say to her was "WHY?"

Why are you here? Why are you wearing that jersey? Your team isn't playing here today. She didn't even have to respond I knew what the answer was.

I can only assume that her bf realized she was a fat disgusting whore and he stopped paying attention to her so she decided to come up to Fedex field and get the attention she was craving.

Do all us a favor and just move out to Dallas. We don't want you here. If you can't afford to move because we all know you probably don'[t have a job just pop some pills like TO and end the misery but get it right when you do it becasue he unfortanately didn't.

Jason Taylor out - Details

Jason Taylor, was apparently kicked in the calf yesterday by a yet to be named Arizona Cardinals player. Later on that evening blood began to build up in Taylor leg and he went to this hospital this morning to get it checked out. The Dr's performed a procedure on Taylor to drain the blood and relieve the pressure. He has been ruled out for this weeks Cowgirl game and his status is uncertain for the Eagles game the following week.

Stephon Heyer apparently injuried his shoulder and is questionable for this weeks game. Jansen will take Heyers place if he can't go.

Breaking News! Jason Taylor Out

Jim Zorn just reported that Jason Taylor is out for the Cowboys game this week. He went to the hospital this morning to take care of a calf injury he incurred against the Cardinals.

Details to follow soon

Week 3 Chris Paul Redskins Song Cardinals Game

Here's a link and the lyrics for this weeks Chris Paul Redskins song

click here to listen

"Offensive Eruption"

We didn’t have much time
3:36 left to go
That’s when Santana took flight
And Jason made the perfect throw

Chorus

The Redskins had an offensive eruption
The Redskins had an offensive eruption
Offensive eruption
The Redskins had an offensive eruption

Verse 1

Clinton Portis the fans take our hats off to you you you
You didn’t give us one touchdown, no you gave us two two two
Now the whole world has seen what Zorn’s offense can do do do
And all those Super Bowl dreams they soon will come true true true

Chorus

Cause we have an offensive eruption
Offensive eruption
Offensive eruption
The Redskins have an offensive eruption
Bridge
We didn’t have much time
3:36 left to go
That’s when Santana took flight
And Jason made the perfect throw

Verse 2

If you don’t know by know stopping Cooley is hard hard hard
Chris leaves tacklers broken and emotionally scarred scarred scarred
This Washington heat had the Saints feeling charred charred charred
And this week it gets hotter when we burn up the Cards Cards Cards
Chorus
And they feel our offensive eruption
The Redskins have an offensive eruption
Offensive eruption
The Redskins have an offensive eruption

Verse 3

I was writing this all about our offense
When I realized that the table always gets set by the Redskins defensive accomplishments
Let us not forget the buckets full of blood sweat
LaRon Landry works and never stops working
And receivers he hurts and never stops hurting
And if Jason Taylor keeps on laying out quarterbacks we’re looking at the postseason for certain
So we keep discovering new superstars
Chris Horton everyone knows who you are
Muchas gracias for the two picks
Arizona’s coming but they ain’t gonna do shhh
Cornelius go ballistic
Cardinals are nothing but pigs wearing lipstick
Our defense will hold them and our offense will show them what we call a burgundy explosion

Chorus

Offensive eruption
The Redskins have an offensive eruption
Offensive eruption
The Redskins have an offensive eruption
Offensive eruption
Offensive eruption

Clinto Portis vs Brian Mitchell

Clinton does a weekly interview on the John Thompson show on Sportstalk 980 every Tuesday afternoon. Today's show was definitely an instant classic.

Clinton started the interview off by saying, " We got some haters, and there's one on this show. He's so caught up in whatever I do and being negative about it. Man, I really want to know what's going on....There's a man on your show who can't keep my name out of his mouth, it's always the negativity."....

Brian Mitchell, Coach Thompson's co-host, has a reputation of telling it like it is and apparently last weeks comments were the "straw that broke the camels back". B-Mitch's comments had apparently been eating away at Clinton for quite some time and today Clinton decided to let all of his anger and frustration out live on the air.

To listen to the whole interview click here for the podcast

I love Brian Mitchell and he will always be a Redskin to me. I was upset when they gave Landry #30. I believe that 30 should be one of the unofficial retired numbers like 9 , 28, 49... It's B-Mitch's job as an analyst to call it like he sees it. He's not in the business to make friends. Clinton needs to grow some thicker skin because if what B-Mitch said really bothers him then he better not read what some people on Extreme Skins are saying about him.

I would rather watch paint dry.

I love football don't get me wrong but I refuse to watch tonight's Monday Night football game. I hate Dallas. I despise everything that has to do with that team and city. I refuse to contribute to their TV ratings. I was praying that Hurricane Ike would bypass Houston and wipe Dallas off the map.

If anyone were to ask me who do I hate 2nd it would be the Eagles hands down. The Eagles have never won a Superbowl and hopefully never will in my lifetime. I honestly feel bad for people that live in Philly. I'll never forget a couple years ago on Monday night when they actually introduced Sylvester Stallone before a game to get the crowd excited. It's really a sad site when your citys only sports icon is a make believe character in a movie. Their team is so bad Andy Reid's sons had to sell drugs to Eagles fans just to ease the pain of watching them lose every week.

I would rather watch paint dry then this game. I would rather sit on a toilet constipated for 4 hours then watch Tony Homo vs Donovan "affirmative action" McNabb. I know this isn't politically correct and you never want to wish ill of another team but I am hoping the stadium blows up or that Texas Stadium gets swallowed up by some massive earth quake and both teams and all of their fans disappear.

If you were to hold a gun to my head and make me pick a winner I would tell you to pull the trigger.

"Little" Cooley ends up on the Internet

I know I'm late to the party with this but I didn't really want to report it. I was kind of hoping it would die down and that most people wouldn't hear about "Penis Gate". I was wrong

I'm sure most of you know that Chris Cooley has his own Blog. If you haven't had a chance to check it out you should. He posts some real good skinny on there about the team and about his life in general.

Last Saturday night Captain Chaos decided to Blog about the Quiz Jim Zorn makes all the players take concerning the opposing teams defense and what the game plan is for the week. In the Blog, Cooley took a picture of a page of the Quiz and he also inadvertently took a picture of "Little" Cooley at the same time. Chris was apparently lying around his hotel room naked while he was taking his quiz. Why? I don't want to know.

For a more in depth explanation of the whole story check out Dan Steinberg's post "How Chris Cooley's Privates Hit the Internet"

"Antwaan Randle El is not a Schmuck"

I know a win is a win is a win but the one glaring thing that I can't get out of my mind is how Randle El almost lost us the game. The Defense had stopped the Saints "High Powered Offense" for pretty much the entire first half but because of a fumbled punt by Randle El we were losing 10 - 9 going into the half. Later in the game, Randle El fielded a punt at the 10 yard line and juked himself out of his own shoes. He side stepped to his left and then collapsed into a fetal position. Let's be honest here we need a new punt returner. We need someone back there that runs North - South not East - West.

During Zorn's press conference today he was asked about using someone else to return punts. Zorn replied by saying, "Antwaan is not a schmuck when it comes to punt returns. I'm not down on him at all. We just need to get more production there. We've got Santana if we need to make a change there. We're going to talk about the situation. You'll see them both continue to work as we go along."

No ones calling Antwaan a "Schmuck" he just sucks at returning punts. Zorn may "not be down on him" but the rest of us are. We need someone back there that has the desire and the hunger to run that thing back. I don't think El has that anymore. A Punt Returner has to go out there with reckless abandon. He has to not care about getting hurt or taking a ruthless hit. Antwaan may have had that earlier in his career with the Steelers but I think he's lost it. I don't know if becoming our defacto #2 receiver has anything to do with that but regardless the reason something needs to change ASAP. I'm not saying Rock is the answer or if James thrash should go back there but the one thing I do know is that Randle El shouldn't be back there anymore.

In Zorn We Trust?

I've been avoiding talking about last weeks Giants game pretending it didn't happen.

I've blocked out the fact that the Skins were embarrassed on National Television.

I'm ignoring the fact that Zorn didn't have the team in a hurry up offense being down by 2 scores with only 6 minutes left in the game.

I'm going to assume that Zorn can add and he understands that this isn't MTV Rock and Jock Football with the Special 50pt Touchdown in the last 2 minutes of the game.

I'm hoping that I heard wrong about when Zorn was asked earlier this week why he didn't use a No-Huddle Offense. If my sources are correct Zorn's answer to that question was apparently because he didn't want to give the ball back to the Giants after we score with to much time on the clock.

Zorn just got his cherry popped last Thursday at the expense of all Redskin fans and at the expense of the team. The whole world knew it was his coaching debut and his first time calling plays. If they didn't know from the pregame comments they knew from his actions on the sideline and the plays he had Campbell run.

I'm going to give the man that thought our team colors were Maroon and Black the benefit of the doubt.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

The Giants were 0-2 and still won the Superbowl last year.

Joe Gibbs was 0-5 in his 1st year coaching and he won 3 championships.

I can go on and on with stats and cliches about why last weeks game shouldn't matter so that's why I'm going to pretend it didn't happen. As far as I'm concerned, we only play a 15 game season.

I'm a Redskin Fan regardless of who the owner is and who the coach is. I will stick by this team through the good times and the bad (Spurrier years) but all I ask is don't make it embarrassing to be a Redskin fan. Play with some heart and with some Passion and go out there and knock someone on their a$$ this Sunday.

I still have faith in Jim Zorn. I still trust that he knows what he's doing. I believe he can turn this offense around and that Jason Campbell will eventually resemble Doug Williams, the man whose number he currently wears. The only other good thing I can say about Jim Zorn is at least he's not Jim Fassel

Chris Paul week 2 Saints vs Redskins song

Thanks to MD.C RedskinsFan on ES for the song

Here's Chris Paul's new Redskins song for week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. It played after 8 today because Donnie was re-airing the interview he had with TD Jakes yesterday.

Anyway it's called Got Tickets and it's to Lil Wayne and T-Pain's Got Money.

Original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ0pqwCDfFM

He says that he likes to do at least one tailgater song every year and that this song is for the tailgaters. He also commented about how everybody is saying that "well we lost one game, the season is over." He also joked (well I hope it's a joke) again about how it's all Lil Wayne this year because that's the only thing hot.

Haha

Verse 1

It was an NFL Sunday at 8 o’clock I’m getting up

By 9 o’clock I’m down at FedEx Field setting up

Now I ain’t never been a chef but I’m grilling up

Said I ain’t in my relagasi but I’m grilling up

Now where’s my ice cooler somebody fill my cup

There ain’t no doubt about it this is what life’s about

Strangers get to mingling as friends inside a parking lot

And then we march into the stadium and turn it up

We make it snap

We make it crackle
We make it pop after every big tackle

Yeah Its Chris Paul on the floor representing fans of the Burgundy and Gold

Got Tickets

Chorus

If you got tickets and you going

Throw on all your burgundy and gold and make noise

Like, this away (Go Skins!) that away (Redskins!)

Like, this away (Go Skins!) that away (Redskins!)

This away (Go Skins!) that away

Verse 2

It goes one for the money two for the show

Now clap your hands for the Burgundy and Gold

Like catching the… from some chick

New Orleans about to get burned in this %$#^

Saints offense plays hard

But Andre Carter plays harder

London Fletcher is unleashed

And off of Cajun, he’ll feast

Reggie Bush is a star in his commercials

But that’s all fronting he ain’t done nothing

And when the Skins defense is done smashing him

Reggies @$$’d out like Kim Kardashian

Chorus
If you got tickets and you going
Throw on all your burgundy and gold and make noise

Verse 3

Like ok the Redskins are at home
Jim Zorn time to make this offense explode
Like hey!
All the Skins fans say Jason Campbell play the way we know that you can play
Throw to Chris Cooley please go to Chris Cooley Cooley Cooley Cooley A!
Moss is quick and the Saints get sick when Santana’s in the end zone and he catches it
The New Orlean pass rush won’t get in
Them Washington hogs shutting down that $%@
Our running game so slick we ride with Clinton Portis
He dips zip goes number 26
And the Saints get whipped this Sunday they get a foot in their behind like
Kick kick

Chorus
If you got tickets and you going

Throw on all your burgundy and gold and make noise

Like, this away (Go Skins!) that away (Redskins!)

This away (Go Skins!) that awayFedEx Field we call home of the brave

Make the bleachers shake like at RFK

This away (Go Skins!) that away

How to cure Carlos-itis

Fellow Blogger Dan Steinberg wrote a blog yesterday about Carlos Rogers's Hands and why he can't catch a pass to save his life or our season. In the article Rogers and Smoot are both questioned as to why they have horrible hands and coach Zorn interjected his opinion as to what Carlos needs to do to fix the problem. Below are Zorn's comments from Steinberg's Blog.

Zorn: "...I don't think the ball machine's necessarily the answer....For him, he hasn't connected the idea of making the play and getting great position with just putting his hands up. Some guys can do it more naturally, [Rogers] seems to be a guy that has to concentrate, and so he has to become comfortable with that. And I think QB's throwing him the ball with the kind of velocity they throw it will help, because that's the real issue right there is the ball's coming in fast. Even if a ball machine is throwing it, it's always one speed, it's always in the same spot, and that never happens in the game. So that's really what I'm looking for, is other guys throwing him the ball."

Apparently Carlos needs QB's to throw him the ball at different speeds so he can learn how to catch. Now I'm not a head coach but that makes no sense to me. If you see a ball coming at you regardless of the speed you are either going to catch it or not. If Brett Favre throws a ball to his receivers in practice and then Kellen Clemens throws the same receivers a pass they should be able to catch both of them regardless of the QB's arm strength and speed of the ball. The fact of the matter is Carlos is a DB for a reason and if he could catch he would be a WR.

Cowboy JOTD 09-08-08

I'm finally back from NYC and I'll update the Blog shortly with pics from my trip and my opinion on Zorn and the team. In the mean time, here's another joke about that Broke Back team in Texas.

Joke:

Little Johnny was in his Kindergarten class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman.Johnny was being uncharacteristically quiet, and so the teacher asked him about his father."My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men."The teacher hurriedly set the other children to work on some coloring in and took little Johnny aside to ask him..."Is that really true about your father working in a gay strip club?""No" said Johnny, "he really plays for the Dallas Cowboys but I was too embarrassed to say."

Cowboy JOTD 9-05-08

I figured you guys might need a laugh after that piss poor performance last night.

Three cowboys fans were on their way home after watching their team lose another game. On the way, they came across a sheep with it's head stuck in a fence. one man said, "Man, I'm gonna get some of this."

He began to screw the sheep. He asked if his friend wanted to get some, and he said yes, and he started screwing it. After he got done, he asked the other friend if he wanted some.

The third friend said sure and stuck his head in the fence.

Still Behind Enemy Lines

I'm still up here in NY trying to pretend last night didn't happen. Most of you will be happy to know that I wasn't arrested last night but I did get into a fight outside the bathroom with a retarded Giants fan at Half Time.

I have some pics and stories from the game that I will upload later.

It's only week one and we have 15 more games to go.

FdaCowboys will have limited postings until Saturday.

I'm going to NY tomorrow for the game and I'm not sure if I'll have internet access up there. If for some reason I get locked up for beating down a Giants fan a post will be made by a 3rd party with information for my paypal account so you guys can help me with Bail.

I hate the Giants the least out of the NFC teams but I will still stab a Bama that talks bad about my team.

Cowboy JOTD 09-03-08

Q. A smart Redskin fan, a very smart Cowboy fan, Santa Claus, and the Easter bunny sit in 4 corners of a square room. In the center is a pot of gold. A bell rings, and they all take off for the pot. Who gets it?

A. The Redskin fan... cause there's no such thing as Santa Claus, there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny and there's no such thing as a smart Cowboy fan!

Changing of the Tackle

Jon "The Rock" Jansen, the longest tenured Washington Redskin has recently lost his starting job to second year player undrafted free agent Stephon Heyer. Jansen has been battling various injuries since 2004 where he ruptured his Achilles tendon in the HOF game. He came back the next year and broke both of his thumbs but was able to somehow still play. Last year during the season opener Jansen dislocated his ankle (see picture below) and was placed on IR after.

"The Rock" has apparently crumbled over the years and Jansen will now be a utility backup playing both Guard and Tackle. The only thing that worries me about that decision is that Jansen has never taken a snap at Guard. We still have Fabini if 32 year old Randy Thomas or 35 year old Pete Kendall go down but the fact of the matter is the "Dirtbags" are getting old fast. We should have drafted some lineman this past year instead of 3 WR's but thats a blog for another day.

Heyer has a lot of potential and he played well last year against some of the leagues premier pass rushers (Osi Umenyora and Michael Strahan). He unfortunately couldn't produce during the most important game of his NFL career against Patrick Kerney, Darryl Tapp and the Seattle Seahawks. I truly believe the kid is a diamond in the rough but this years Stephon hasn't played like last years Stephon. I understand Heyer was hurt in the HOF game against the Colts and he's been nursing a strained knee but the preseason is over and the games count now. If any Coach out there can maximize Heyer's potential it's Coach Buges.

I doubt the coaching staff reads my blog but if any of you read my previous 47-3 post after the Panthers game you know how I currently feel about our line. I have faith in Bugel and the guys to get their act together and buckle down now that play time is over. We have a tough opening schedule this year and if the guys can't give Campbell some time to throw it's going to be a long year.

Cowboy JOTD 09-02-08

A Skins fan, a Cowboys fan, a Giants fan and an Eagles fan were all mountain climbing together one day. As they were climbing up the mountain, they were jawing back and forth with each other over whose team was the best. When they finally reach the top of the mountain, all four are standing around when the Giants fan inexplicably says "This one is for the Giants" and jumps off the mountain. The Eagles fan, not wanting to be out done, says this one is for the Eagles," and jumps off the mountain. The Redskins fan then says "This one is for everybody" and pushes the Cowboys fan of the cliff.
