With the second and third picks in the 2000 NFL Draft, the Redskins selected LaVar Arrington and Chris Samuels, respectively. The two combined for nine Pro Bowl selections, and for Samuels, this season marked the tenth that began with him as the team's starting left tackle. By sheer coincidence, the two are also pretty much at the center of two internet discussions from today. The first is straightforward:...

It’s something you want to forget, but take a moment to remember Sean Taylor who was snatched from his family and fans two years ago today. Taylor emerged as the hard hitting face of the Washington Redskins defense, supplanting LaVar Arrington in that role. No one has replaced Taylor Taylor was shot and killed in his home [...]

In a post that I realize is extremely premature, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the Skins current roster and start evaluating all of the upcoming free agents this year. There are a lot of players on the fence at this point in my mind, and I'll be curious to get everyone else's feedback. The current list of Redskins free agents include: Jason Campbell , Levi Jones , Casey Rabach , Stephon...

In case you missed it, the Tennessee Titans owner was filmed giving Buffalo Bills fans the ol' bird from his perch on Sunday. If you aren't a Bills player, fan or employee--or Roger Goodell--you probably laughed your ass off. Goodell dropped a $250,000 fine on Bud Adams today...which leads me to my headline...because if Snyder does not fire Cerrato, he will be essentially flipping the entire Redskins...

It's not that UFC 105 was bad. It wasn't. In fact, it was fantastic, particularly the undercard. And if we are comparing undercards, then UFC 105 absolutely smashed anything the lame efforts of Top Rank could even hope to put together. But if we are talking main events, Couture vs. Vera - as talented as they are, as spirited as they fought - couldn't hold a candle to the utter brilliance of Manny Pacquiao....

Watching the DeAngelo Hall scrum during the Falcons game with (what appears in retrospect as) their entire sideline, it did not cross my mind that the thing wrong here was a lack of Redskins uniforms, in large part because : 3-3-ATL 40 (1:37) (Shotgun) 2-M.Ryan scrambles right end ran ob at ATL 44 for 4 yards (30-L.Landry). PENALTY on WAS-30-L.Landry, Unnecessary Roughness, 15 yards, enforced at ATL...

(By Toni L. Sandys - TWP) If you didn't hear LaVar Arrington's full-throated condemnation of the Redskins' defense Monday afternoon, it's worth a listen. He started off his show on 106.7 The Fan just screaming at the top of his lungs about the lack of heart when DeAngelo Hall got caught in that scrum on that Falcons' sideline. His complaint wasn't about the late hit by LaRon Landry or about Hall's...

“Really, it’s just what we live by and what we’re known for,” those are the words of Penn State Outside Linebacker Navorro Bowman, in description of “Linebacker U,” the apt nickname bestowed upon his school. Penn State boasts two Butkus award (given to the nation’s top collegiate linebacker) winners in Paul Poslusny (2005) and Lavar Arrington (1999). The latter...

via blog.redskins.com View full size photo uploaded October 20, 2009 According to ESPN (and not the official Redskins blog) , Jason Campbell will get the start vs the Eagles . This is not surprising given Campbell is the best QB the Redskins have right now. I can't help but think if Colt Brennan was active, would he be starting? Certainly the Fan Posts sections would be blowing up with the "START...

By Mike White | Sunday, Oct. 11, 2010, 2:20 p.m. Just in case you wanted to know, the player who just intercepted Ben Roethlisberger and returned it for a touchdown used to play in the WPIAL and was a member of the Post-Gazette Fabulous 22. But he had a different name then. Cornerback William James of the Detroit Lions gave the Lions their first touchdown of the game. He played at Laurel Highlands...

LaVar Arrington, a former Redskins linebacker who could have been one of the league's greats had he played for a more well run organization, just let loose on Twitter. DC Sports bog collects the results: "If peoples' eyes aren't open yet, then you really don't want to see! Open your eyes people! Players do what they are coached to do!

(By Toni L. Sandys - TWP) So I took Monday off for Yom Kippur, and two things happened: 1) Despite not posting a single item, I received more reader e-mails than on any day in my Washington Post career, and 2) I went to a break-the-fast gathering Monday night, where two separate women offered me two separate theories on why the Washington Redskins are currently doomed to failure. This Burgundy Revolution...
