So Lil’ Sigmund, a.k.a Coach Shanny, has been playing mind games with someone else besides Haynsie. Anyone?….Anyone?…Can anyone guess who Lil’ Sigmund has been screwing with through the media?
You guessed it…..our beloved BBR Malcolm Kelly.
At first Lil’ Sigmund was on Kelly’s side, saying things to the media such as “Well, with a hamstring you never know. It could take a day to heal or it could take a week.”
As recently as this week though, he has said stuff like “I never thought it would take a hamstring this long to heal”, prompting Kelly to respond, in a charming southern drawl, that he was at 85-90% and if he had to, he could play. But he wants “to put his best foot forward on tape”. (By the way, how does someone know what percentage of the way their body has healed anyway? Either you’re playing or not).
Now Kelly is no Big Al. Unlike Big Al he seems to be a genuinely nice fellow and unlike big Al, he has never accomplished anything in this league. However, also unlike Big Al, Shanalahan like Kelly and want to see him stick around.
Like Lil’ Sigmund, I also did not think Kelly’s hamstring would take this long to heal, and since he will not play tonight against the Jets, his only shot will be against the Cardinals. At the end of the day though, I think Kelly will be put on the PUP list and will miss the first six games of the year and then will be given a shot to re-enter the team mid-season. By that time, chances are that someone, (hopefully no one very important – gulp!), will be injured and Kelly would take his spot on the team.
Much has been made in the last 24 hours about the Redskins wearing burgundy jerseys at home this year. I am also for the move, but am not sure that we will be seeing gold pants anytime soon. If anything, the ‘Skins may bust the gold pants out on another special occasion, such as the night game against the Eagles or the Colts. Because really, nothing needs to be added to the opener against Dallas to get our blood pumping.
It’s hard for me to appreciate how good-looking the Redskins cheerleaders are from my seats high in section 449, but my buddy Ryan sure loves them. It turns out they’re really hot as voted on by other NFL players. I guess that’s something to be proud of.
Maybe it’s time to talk to my old man about purchasing some club seats so that if we are ever losing at the 2 minute warning, at least we can look at some young ladies who are easy on the eyes while drowning our sorrows away.
I don’t take many shots of the cheerleaders there are so many of them and one is just as good as the other. I will say this though, the closer you get to them, the more dizzy I tend to become. If we do go 7-9 then Snyder needs to hire some other type of woman.
One less shall we say…oh what shall we say? A picture says a thousand words….
