The NFL released its schedule for the 2012 season and on first glance, the Redskins' year looks like it'll be pretty challenging for a team that will be rebuilding around rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Redskins 2012 Schedule Might Not Be as Easy as It Looks

After 14 mostly amazing seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Peyton Manning is a free agent, and the speculation over whether or not he will come to the Redskins is more cacophonous than ever before.

Everything You Need To Know About Tonight's Football Contest
Just in case you're a newcomer to this whole "professional football" phenomenon, the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys don't like each other very much.
Just Plan The Parade Already
Glory days are here again, apparently. The Redskins are riding high, climbing back from a very shaky first half from Rex Grossman to somehow salvage a one-point win over an Arizona team with a Graham Gano field goal. As you can see, the newspapers, they like this Gano fella.
Redskins Preview: The Quest to Exceed Diminished Expectations
First off, allow me to completely disqualify everything I'm about to say. Your guess as to how the Redskins will perform this year is just as good as mine.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Your New Redskins Starting Quarterback
New starting quarterback Rex Grossman once schooled Redskins legend John Riggins on, of all things, Wheel of Fortune.
Redskins Stop Being Polite and Start Getting Real Tonight
I must confess that I might have been too quick to get down on the Redskins' prospects for the 2011 season. In hindsight, invocations of the worst team in NFL history were woefully premature.
Albert Haynesworth Sexual Abuse Trial Begins Next Week
Just because he's been shuttled off to New England doesn't mean that we're rid of Albert Haynesworth -- oh no, not by a long shot.
Get Pumped for (Meaningless) Redskins Preseason Football!
The Washington Redskins will play an actual preseason football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. And as a Redskins fan, I don't want them to lose. I'm just starting to accept that I expect that they will.
Grossman: Redskins Will Win The Division
Rex Grossman, recently named the starting quarterback for the Washington R*******, is very excited about the team's prospects this season. Very excited.
Attendance at Hot, Boring Event Not Great
It appears as if attendance at Washington Redskins training camp has declined measurably so far this summer. (You know things are bad when Dan Snyder starts offering free admission.)
Albert Haynesworth: A Brief YouTube Retrospective
Before you rush out to purchase that ten-dollar Haynesworth jersey -- it'll go great with your Jason Campbell, Jason Taylor, Ladell Betts, and Antwaan Randle-El collection! -- we thought we'd try to encapsulate two years of Haynesworth into but a few easily digestible video clips. It was pretty easy.
So Long, McNabb
Donovan McNabb appears to be on his way out of Washington, and allow me to shed half a tear that his tenure in burgundy and gold has ended so laughably.
How Does Albert Haynesworth Still Have A Job?
Now that football's officially back, let's reset here. (Deep breath!)
Redskins To Get Back To Work This Week
Someone find the keys to Redskins Park -- the NFL lockout is now officially over.
NFL Lockout to Officially End in D.C.
And there it is folks. Open FedEx Field's gates now that the 2011 season NFL lockout is over after reps from the NFL Player Association and team owners finished negotiations earlier today. The deal will be finalized tomorrow when the players' reps executive committee meets in D.C. on Monday for a final, yet routine, vote to approve the measures. After another vote by all the players to ratify the deal, both training camps and free agency are expected to commence later this week, on the same day no less.
The Saturday Morning Post
Good morning, Washington. I respectfully disrupt your editor-in-chief’s three-day heat lede, relegating the swelter to bring you the latest in political posturing. On Friday night House Speaker John Boehner again walked away from a “grand bargain” on the debt. Obama and Boehner delivered dueling press conferences following the announcement, each putting their own fiery spin on the embarrassing news that talks had failed.
28-Year-Old, Plucked From Bleachers, Practices With Redskins
Well, I suppose this is an innovative way for the R******* to improve their strained relationship with fans: Washington players invited 28-year-old Josh Richards to leave the bleachers and join in with them during an informal practice session today.
Local Football Team Actually Conducts Some Football-Related Business
Last night, the Washington Redskins took their mind off of their owner's lawsuit against local journalists and their defensive tackle's alleged sex crime, and conducted some football-related business, selecting Purdue defensive end Ryan Kerrigan with the 16th selection of the NFL Draft.
Clinton Portis Says He "Should Be Released" Today
It's been a trying offseason for the Washington Redskins, what with all the journalist suing, sexual assault accusations, stabbings, and the such. But now we can add another story to that sad list: the release of one of the team's longest-tenured players, running back Clinton Portis.
This Season Hurt Me More Than It Hurt the Redskins
Rex Grossman overthrowing a wide-open Terence Austin on fourth down closed out a disappointing 2010 season for the Redskins. I didn't expect a winning season, but the poor play calling, dancing linemen and incessant Haynesworth/McNabb pouting made the losing that much more painful. From pain comes laughter, though, so let's take a look back at the best moments in the Redskins' (latest) Year Of Failure, sorted in descending order by the level of psychotic tears laughter each moment produced.
Donovan McNabb Benched, Rex Grossman To Start In Dallas
Who had Week 15 in their "How Soon Will Donovan McNabb Get Benched" pool? If you did, it's time to collect your winnings.
Shhh...It's Okay For The Redskins To Lose Now
I wish I could muster more outrage at Graham Gano. Statistically, he's the worst kicker in the NFL, having made less than 70 percent of his field goals -- so expecting him to fail isn't an unreasonable position. But when Graham and his six-day beard lined up for the potential game-tying extra point yesterday, it wasn't that I knew it was going to fail -- it's that I was prepared for it to fail.
