Kelly Says He's Ready "The knee feels great when I don't play," says Kelly.
Malcolm Kelly had all the skills coming out of Oklahoma. At 6'4" with a monster vertical leap, he is fifth on OU's all-time receptions. But many teams felt his chronic knee problems made him too risky to draft. Everyone but the Redskins. And as predicted by many, Kelly's knees were so bad last year that he only managed to play in three games and had a meager three catches for 18 yards. But he says this year will be different...
Taylor Inducted to Ring of Fame "He was the greatest," says Prez.
Maybe it's appropriate that November 30, 2008 will go down as a 23-7 loss for the Redskins. For this was the day that Sean Taylor was added to the Redskins' Ring of Fame at FedEx Field. On this cold, rainy day Sean was immortalized, and his memory was honored. But everyone just felt a loss.
Petitbon "Hired" Before Gibbs? "I can't believe nobody's talking about this," says Prez.
A young GM with a brash owner promotes a defensive assistant to coordinator while they look for an offensive-minded head coach. Has to be the Redskins. But this is a story from 1981. And the defensive assistant's name was Richie Petitbon...
RAC Exclusive: Read the story from 1981
SuperBowl in DC? "It's not that cold in February," says Pinto.
Some wonder if DC could ever get a SuperBowl at FedEx Field. Is it too cold? Is it too wet? These are questions that Danny Snyder will answer, sooner or later. The RAC bets one season of the new dome in dallASS and Danny hires an architect...

'Skins Will Pass on Vick "Thank you Lord," says Buckette.
The Washington Redskins considered signing Michael Vick but have decided against it. The felonious QB - still under house arrest - will be eligible late this summer should the Commish not suspend him.
"This is bullshit," said The Prez. "With Vick on the 'Skins, Ron Mexico was going to be a top ten hit. Vinnie may have saved the team, but he screwed The DirtBags. He is such a tool."
So add the 'Skins to the "Not Interested" list. Where will Vick end up? Kinds seems like a good for for dallASS doesn't he...
LaRon Landry Stays Away "I bet he's got some stinky," says Mr. B.
And then there was one. As the Redskins wrap up their OTAs for the week, there is now just one player officially AWOL from all of this season's "voluntary" practices: LaRon Landry. The biggest question is why these practices are voluntary if everyone is supposed to show up? The second is what is LaRon doing if he's not practicing? Inside sources say there is much smoke but no fire. But much, much smoke...
Slingin' Sammy - None Greater "Jim Brown couldn't carry his jock strap," says Prez.
It is hard to believe that Sammy Baugh - a player who won the NFL Championship game in 1937 - has just passed away. But what is harder for the RAC to understand is why Sammy seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to who was the greatest who ever played the game. Most say Jim Brown was. The RAC stands firm that Jim Brown wasn't half the baller than Sammy was. But decide for yourself...
Haynesworth Sued for $7.5 Million "Chump change," says Al.
It looks like Albert Haynesworth may need every penny of the $100 million contract he signed in March. Because the traffic accident he had in December may cost him a good chunk of that - possibly $7.5 million. Haynesworth was allegedly driving his Ferrari "...like a maniac..." when he wrecked into Corey Edmondson, leaving him permanently disabled. "What's he griping about?" said Al, "He got his 15 minutes of fame. What else does he want?"

Thrash May Retire "He should do it. Work sucks," says Prez.
James Thrash played 12 season in the NFL. But he may not play another one. A lingering neck injury is forcing him to consider retirement. Unfortunately, his best years weren't even spent playing for the Redskins, but for the philthy eagles where he averaged 54 catches a year. In the last five years with the Redskins he has averaged only 12 catches per season.
Williams Down to 385 He's still frickin' huge," says Paco.
The ability of the Redskins to get back to the playoffs may come down to one position: right tackle. And this position may come down to one man: Mike Williams. Williams, who weighed 450 lbs. a mere three months ago, is now only 15 pounds from his playing weight of 370. He says he is on track to hit that goal in June.
'Skins Keep Trademark "Redskins forever," says Midgie. The Washington Redskins have
prevailed again in federal appeals court in the case brought by a group
of Native Americans who claimed the Redskins trademark was racist.
The victory all but ensures the Redskins can keep their classic logo and
the name Redskins.
'Skins Sign DeAngelo Hall "I forgive him for being a hokie," says Prez.
The Mighty Midget struck again: The Redskins have signed CB DeAngelo Hall to a $55 million contract. Hall will provide continuity to the NFL's 4th best defense from 2008. And with Haynesworth creating havocin the middle, and Orakapo getting speed on the edge, the NFC East may well be within the 'Skins grasp.
