With a record of 6-7 and three games left in the regular season, the Washington Football Team is leading the NFC East.

Assessing the Dead NFL Trade Deadline
Despite being just 2-5, the Washington Football Team is still in the playoff hunt. If there’s an opportunity to get into the playoffs, coach Ron Rivera will take it. While in previous years, a 2-5 record would make Washington sellers at the trade deadline, but that was not the case this year. On one hand,Continue reading “Assessing the Dead NFL Trade Deadline”
The Washington Football Team falls back down to Earth in loss to Cardinals
When the Washington Football Team defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, there was a lot to be excited about: the defensive line dominated, Dwayne Haskins looked in control and the Eagles looked atrocious. A week later, against a much more formidable opponent, the team looked closer to what everyone expected coming into the season.Continue reading “The Washington Football Team falls back down to Earth in loss to Cardinals”
Five Takeaways from the Washington Football Team’s opening win
Author’s note: The lack in activity over the past few weeks is due to the fact that I recently moved back on to campus for school and needed some time to adjust to my new schedule. Now that I’ve settled in, I plan to get back into a regular cycle. I won’t have the timeContinue reading “Five Takeaways from the Washington Football Team’s opening win”

The threat of anotherContinue reading “In an alternate Burgundy & Gold universe…”
Hail to the Football Team?
After several weeks of deliberation, the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins has picked a temporary name to use for the 2020 season: the Washington Football Team. It is reported that an actual permanent name will be chosen for the 2021 season and beyond, and I sincerely hope that’s the truth. In an earlierContinue reading “Hail to the Football Team?”
A eulogy for the Washington Redskins
After years of controversy surrounding the Washington Redskins, the name has officially been left in the rearview. The name used since the early championships from the Sammy Baugh era to the Super Bowl teams led by Joe Gibbs is now exactly what those moments are: history. It’s a new chapter for Washington football, and afterContinue reading “A eulogy for the Washington Redskins”
Assessing the new name ideas for the Redskins
Back in January, I put together a proposal for a new name for the Redskins. Seven months later, the team has come under fire, receiving intense pressure from sponsors and business partners to change the name. The team has gone by the ‘Redskins’ since 1937, meaning one of the league’s oldest franchises/brands will likely beContinue reading “Assessing the new name ideas for the Redskins”
Which numbers should the Redskins retire next, if any?
The Redskins recently retired just the second number in franchise history the other day, meaning no other player will wear No. 49 in Washington. Bobby Mitchell received this rare honor just months after he died on Apr. 5. The star flanker once shared a backfield with the legendary Jim Brown on the Cleveland Browns beforeContinue reading “Which numbers should the Redskins retire next, if any?”
The Redskins’ best and worst free agency signings of the decade
In professional sports, free agents can make a world of difference for a team. Building through the draft is important, but being able to bring in an established player who can immediately bolster the roster can turn a playoff team into a championship contender.
