In their "What if players" Thread:

I feel what happened to Sean Taylor is the biggest what if history changer of a football team ever. If this did not happen we would have made a deep playoff run that year, Joe Gibbs would have stayed at least another year, Greg Williams would have taken over and by now we would have been a perenial playoff team with a dominating defense. There would have been no Zornisms, Bingo callers or Haynesworth.

Report: Post takes 'Redskins' off blog

Report: Post takes 'Redskins' off blog

Email Print Comments26 ESPN.com news services

The Washington Redskins recently asked The Washington Post to remove the name "Redskins" from team-related webcasts and its blog about the team, sources with knowledge of the circumstances regarding the change told The Post on Tuesday.

The Post agreed and the blog, originally named "Redskins Insider," was changed to "Football Insider," the paper said.

According to The Post, the Redskins have strictly limited the use of their name without authorization over the past several years.

The reported request comes on the heels of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder's lawsuit against an area newspaper.

On Feb. 2, Snyder filed a lawsuit against Washington City Paper and its parent company, Atalaya Capital management LP, over a column entitled "The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder." Snyder claims the column -- which included an altered photo of Snyder with horns and a beard drawn in pen -- had anti-Semitic references and defamed him.

The suit, filed in New York State Supreme Court, seeks at least $1 million in damages for each of the two causes of action, plus punitive damages.

Two days later, Snyder defended his lawsuit and asked for a personal apology and a correction from the paper.

On the day of Snyder's lawsuit, managing editor Mike Madden said on the newspaper's website that the image "is meant to resemble the type of scribbling that teenagers everywhere have been using to deface photos for years. The image of Snyder doesn't look like an 'anti-Semitic caricature' -- it looks like a devil."

The Washington Redskins do not want you capitalizing off their brand.


And therefore they don’t want you using their name unless, you know, you’ve paid and have a contract with them.


So that end the franchise recently asked the Washington Post to change the name of “Redskins Insider,” a blog covering the team on the newspaper’s Web site. According to Dan Steinberg of the Post, the blog has been renamed “Football Insider.”


The team has a number of television productions that are done with Comcast SportsNet, but they have deals in place with the station.

What a doooosh. I enjoy what Snyder has done to that team, but I'm starting to feel a bit bad for their idiot fans.

I wonder, and it wouldn't surprise me at all, if he'll ever go after fan sites/boards (if he hasn't already).

Sean Taylor was one of the worst safeties in football in 2006. He finally puts together a very good half of a season in 2007 before getting killed, and his death has made him a Hall of Famer in Redskins fans minds.

It's ridiculous.

. He led the league in 2006 of TDs given up, at least 20. Roy never gave up that many TDs. EVER. I expaliend this to Redskins' fans, and even provided footage to back it up, and you should have seen all the cherry-picking excuse-making that they made. One example was when Terry Glenn burnt Taylor---quite regularly, the Redskins' fans tried to blame that on the LB, whow as covering Glenn. Now the Redskins did have an LB covering Glenn on that TD play, but it was not expected that that LB would cover Glenn the length of the field and not recieve safety help. Glenn blew past the LB, as expected and then he blew past Taylor.

He couldn't even cover Witten. They used him on Witten especially in goalline d. and Witten owned him. I have a gif evidence somewhere in my archives.lol

Well to be fair, Witten will beat alot of players on the goalline IF the coaching staff ever figured out to use him more regularly. But this is Sean Taylor, he should be getting ebat by anyboyd. One thing for sure, nobody abused Taylor like Glenn and Crayton on a regular basis.

You remember how in the Pro Bowl the AFC team called a fake punt and Taylor jacked the punter with a lick? A 175 lb punter, and it was a good lick. But the punter got right back up and smiled and trotted off the field. Redskins' fans jacked themselves off into a frenzy over that play and I was like... he lit up a 175 lb. punter that upon getting hit sprung right back up with a smile and trotted off the field. Before Roy became soft, his hits laid people out. No player ever got hurt from Taylor's hit except Taylor himself, when he got laid out.

I got plenty of those .gifs.

That was the last Cowboys game I was at, and I remember that play distinctly. Glenn came off the line, and the LB initially picked him up. After about 15 yards or so, the LB released him to the safety, Taylor. Glenn ran right at Taylor, and made a very slight fake to the left, Taylor bit... hard. Glenn instead cut inside, and Taylor couldn't recover at all. Touchdown, Terry Glenn.

I'm pretty sure he bought ExtremeSkins a few years ago.

Yeah, I think ES is the team's official latrine. What I was really wondering is whether Snyder and his lawyers go after or have gone after other fan-operated boards/blogs with "Redskins" in their URL or title...if any actually exist. Got me thinking about what this place would be called if Jerry Jones came knocking.

You actually can't criticize Snyder on ES, or couldn't. I don't know, haven't been on there in awhile.

I don't know how any SANE person can stand to be on that site and remain sane. The color scheme of the ultraviolet red and yellow on that black background gives me a dizzying headache and messes with my eyes. I think it messes up the mind in some fashion, maybe klilling off the brain cells, because I tell you, those Redskins' fans over there ARE OVER THE TOP. When they call it Extremeskins, they mean it! Talk about irrationality and departures from reality.

Nah. That was all the LBs fault. Pure and simple. And Lb is expected to cover at the time one of the fastest players in the league foralmost the length of the field. After making Archuleta the highest-paid safety in the league at that time, they turned around and made him a scapegoat for the sake of Taylor. Taylor was getting burnt but Archuleta got the blame and was eventually benched, nevermind that at the time of his benching, he was the Redskins leading tackler, and even after the benching, Taylor still was getting burnt all over the place.

D. Hall Overated ?!?!? No Way !!

-RotoWorld

DeAngelo Hall finished in the bottom three among all cornerbacks in Football Outsiders' Success Rate (39 percent), yards per pass (10.5), and YAC allowed (5.8) in 2010.
Perception meets reality. The metrics don't take into account Hall's playmaking ability, but they do show that he's one of the most easily beaten corners in the league. Hall had no business in the Pro Bowl, much less taking home MVP honors.

Latest draft rumor: Redskins “trying like crazy” to move up

Latest draft rumor: Redskins “trying like crazy” to move up

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 15, 2011, 5:49 PM EDT


We’re not sure if there are more draft rumors this year or we’re just paying attention to them more because we have nothing else to focus on. All we know is that things are only starting to pick up.

The latest rumor we can pass along for you comes from the dean of Houston football writing, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.

“I don’t know what they have to offer, but I hear the Redskins are trying like crazy to trade up to get one of the quarterbacks, Blaine Gabbert, I imagine,” McClain writes.

Well, they don’t have a third- or fourth-round pick to offer. There was also a rumor the Redskins were trying to trade down earlier in the week, which means Washington is achieving some level of misdirection success.

The rumor that the Redskins want to trade up passes the smell test. Mike Shanahan needs a young franchise quarterback to mold, and Jake Locker would be a reach at No. 10. (Although we think it’s a reach the Redskins would strongly consider.)

Washington isn’t afraid to be aggressive when they are a little desperate, and it’s safe to say their quarterback situation is desperate right now.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

This goes against Shanahan's claim that they want to move down to get extra picks.

It's Lying Season. Believe nothing. We love Tyron Smith for months and now all of the sudden we love Aldon Smith, we love Anthony Castonzo, we love Gabe Cirimi.
