Jump on the Bandwagon Haters

Because the Washington Redskins are 4-1.  It doesn’t take Nostradamus to predict the Redskins would be awesome this season – the last time the New York Giants won the Superbowl, the Washington Redskins won the Superbowl the following year (1991/92).  And, who won the Superbowl last year?  Need I say more?  No, I do not.  History dictates that the Redskins are going to be stellar this year.  Jim Zorn helps too.

Great job Jim Zorn.  I’d also like to give a shout out to Greg Blache.

Go Skins.  HAIL TO THE REDSKINS… HAIL VICTORY… BRAVES ON THE WARPATH… FIGHT FOR OLD D.C.

Brother O’Dell, Pass the Biscuits, Pappy O’Daniels

“Brother O’Dell, Pass the Bisuits, Pappy O’Daniels” is the new nickname of Washington Redskin cornerback Fred Smoot.  Yes, you read that right – his nickname is seven words long… and contains two commas.  As far as nicknames go it’s, well, the longest nickname of any professional football player I’ve ever heard.  Beyond that, I love it.

For some interesting takes on the origin of the name, check out this blog and comments.

Of course, this isn’t Fred Smoot’s first nickname.  Last year, he was nicknamed “Johann Cavalli.”

Previously, there was “Sugar Ray Valentino” -  from Fred Smoot’s first stint with the Redskins from 2001 – 2004.  When he was in Minnessota with the Vikings, he earned the nickname “Love Boat Smoot,” from a questionable incident.  Of course, the Washington Redskins official site lists his nickname as “Show Time” on Fred Smoot’s profile page.

Anyway, I like “Brother O’Dell, Pass the Bisuits, Pappy O’Daniels” and I suppose so does Fred Smoot – for now.
