    REDSKINS ARE NOW HISTORY!

    You do not really live longer, it just seems longer.

    (GB Shaw)

     

    TO THE REDSKINS:

    YER OUT!

    So I thought about this, which I really, really should not but, what if?

     

    POLITICALLY INCORRECT?

    THE FIGHTING IRISH?

     

    Potato Skins?

    THE FINNS?

     

    Hot Tub Skins?

    THE SEVERELY SELF CONSCIOUS TEAMS?

    The Onion Skins?

    MINNESOTA BASEBALL?

     

    Minnesota's Kins

    I mean Minneapolis and Pig's Eye certainly have a related population.

    Clockwise from the top: Downtown Saint Paul as seen from the Southwest, theXcel Energy Center, the Cathedral of Saint Paul, theMinnesota State Capitol, the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory, and the historic James J. Hill House

    And since the Twins came from DC anyway, who the hell worships Senators?

     

    ATLANTA BRAVES?

    How the hell could anyone have a problem with this moniker? I mean the Atlanta Cowards would never work, really!

    CINCINNATI REDS?

    I assume this Ohio Team is not made up of communists?

    But, I really do not think that the Cincinnati Redskins would have worked?

     

    THE CLEVELAND BROWNS?

    What the hell were Hispanics doing in Cleveland anyway?

    THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS?

    What the hell are they dodging anyhow?

    I suppose the name is better than the Los Angeles Black Skins which might have been a salute of course to Jackie!

    That is all I got.

    I stuck my neck out on this far enough, I suppose.

    Just thinkin, which is not my finest point!


    Comments

    My friends tell me there's a growing consensus to change the name to the Washington Shit-Eating Dogs. 

     

    Because that is apparently the most prevalent species in Washington.

     

    Now, see, I woulda thought there were more Nutless Gutless Washington Fuckwits, but the numbers say I'm wrong. And I'm a man for facts. Can't enough of 'em.

     

    The Shit-Eating Dogs outnumber Nutless Gutless Fuckwits by a full 3:1.

     

    You. Been. Facted.

     

    And like I always say, you should learn something new every day. And if there's nobody smart enough around to teach you something new that day, then for Christ's sake, make some shit up and put it out there for others.

     

    After all, if we aren't sharing our completely new made up shit with each other, then what ARE we sharing? Old shit? 

     

    I mean, sharing old shit isn't really sharing at all, is it? It's more like a what friends do, who have grown cold and grizzled and thoughtless toward one another.

     

    And to tel the truth, I had a friend like that once. Guy just wore me down, I tell ya, with his stupid stories. So....

     

    I killed him. As we do. Just outside of Reno.

     

    Didn't stay around to watch him die. I'm not stupid. Just fed the carcass to a pack of shit-eating dogs that happened to be passing by, led by this old mutt they called Harry. Harry Reid. 

     

    Terrible breath, Harry Reid. 

     

    Anyway. I believe I've made my point.

     

    Freedom.

    But then again, Springstein is kind of new to me. hahahaha

    Look, someone is supposed to read this and go hahahahahahahhaahha.

    And you show up, you fuck, and you have me laughing more than I ever would have anticipated.

    hhahahahaahah

    You are nuts and that is why I cannot stop reading you.

    DAMN!

    Eating dog shit?

    But you know, that is how I feel about this entire crisis.

    I just love to see MLB go batshit. hahahahha

    Somebody on MSNBC was going on and on about how collectors can make millions purchasing the crap that the Redskins once sold.

    Like that stupid show on History channel.

    You are nuts.

    And THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS INSIGHTFUL BUT criminally insane comment.

    hhahahahahahah

    By the by, I will listen to this wonderful lilt several times and of course I like to back to my blogs anyway. I have no life. hahahah

    I just love this.

    MUCH BETTER THAN CHER. 

    OKAY, the end.

    Good to hear you, Dick.

    Also, good to finally be out of that Winter.

    Tarantino's movie was something or other about taking revenge on racists.

    Seemed to be appropriate for getting revenge on the Redskins owners.

    Also, it's just a damned good song.

    Hope you're well. 

    Q

    P.S. Don't vote Republican.

    Shit eating dogs is a great name but its a little long. They'll need a nickname, like "Shits." Then when ever they tackle a quarterback, or block a pass, or make a touchdown they can say they're giving the other team the shits.
