A former NFL player is suing the Washington football team over a career-ending knee injury that he claims was the result of a bounty system in which Washington coaches encouraged players who injured the opposition.
The ‘Skins’ owner was so happy his team beat the New York Giants, he used a certain 13-letter word to describe the Super Bowl champions.
In a stunning act of magnanimity, an unexpected show of goodwill, a surprising deed of public charity, the ‘Skins will be footing the tab to keep Metro open late following their game next Monday against the New York Giants.
Despite another solid performance from star quarterback Robert Griffin III, the ‘Skins defense fell short yesterday against the New York Giants.
As the world watched the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl last night, Councilmember Marion Barry (D-Ward 8), took to Twitter to reminisce about the Redskins’ salad days and lament their current woes.
