The Washington Redskins face the Seattle Seahawks this weekend in one of four NFL wildcard games.
The Washington Redskins have spent the last five years traveling the road back to the NFL playoffs — but it's been a heck of a ride. Next stop: Sunday's wildcard game against the Seattle Seahawks. All this hailing to the Redskins should seem familiar. In 2007, the Redskins also made the NFL playoffs as a wildcard team. And, just like this year, that 2007 playoff game was against the Seattle Seahawks. Let's hope the similarities end there, because the Seahawks won the last time around. That game, though was in Seattle. Sunday, the Redskins are at home for the first time in the NFL playoffs since they beat the Detroit Lions in 1999. Find more Redskins playoff history here.

Richmond won much of the attention when Gov. Bob McDonnell announced the Washington Redskins would remain in Virginia and hold summer camp in its capital beginning in 2013.

Agree!! But then that would mean Loudoun County wouldn't get funds through speed traps and taxes from the businesses fixing our wheel alignments. Oh, yeah, and I wouldn't get to enjoy getting flipped off by a Redskins player while going the speed limit and they were tailing me so closely they were practically in my trunk! more ›

Who would you rather see in the burgundy and gold, Manning or RG3?
After 14-seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, Peyton Manning was released and is a free agent. The Washington Redskins are planning to make an aggressive effort in bringing Manning to the DMV, according to the Washington Post. The Post also reported that it’s unclear if the Redskins will try to make a push to draft Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III in April. Colts owner Jim Irsay did not want to pay Manning a $28 million bonus that was about to come due because he does not believe the player can fully come back from his third neck procedure in 19 months, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Redskins along with Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, and the New York Jets all have been rumored as possible …

RG3 would be nice, but he's not worth sacrificing our entire draft, plus some of next year's, to trade up to the number two pick. i honestly think bringing in manning, which would almost guarantee also bringing in reggie wayne, pierre garcon, jeff saturday, and pretty much every other talented colt left on their roster, would make the redskins a contender. he did say he doesn't want to play here … more ›
Redskin reaches settlement with alleged victim.
Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth has reached an agreement with the alleged victim in his Reston road rage incident. A Fairfax County judge on Tuesday dismissed the assault charge against Haynesworth after the player reached an agreement with the man who accused him of assault last winter. The case was scheduled to be tried in court this week. Under Virginia law, a judge can dismiss misdemeanor assaults under a provision called "accord and satisfaction," in which a victim says he has been made whole, usually by a financial payment, said Haynesworth's attorney, Steven Merril. "Virginia has a longstanding law in which people involved in a misdemeanor case can ask the court that it be dismissed," said Merill. "This avoids using …

Redskin accused of assaulting a man in a Reston incident.
The assault trial for Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth, scheduled to begin Thursday, has been postponed until next week. Haynesworth is facing misdemeanor charges related to an alleged road-rage assault in Reston in February. Haynesworth may be in the process of settling the matter with the alleged victim, which is allowed under Virginia law. The trial is now scheduled for next Tuesday.

The man told investigators he made a gesture at the driver of a pickup truck he thought was following too closely on the Fairfax County Parkway near Reston Hospital. The two vehicles stopped and the truck's driver, later identified as …

You know I find it hard to believe that with all his money and bravado, Dan Snyder couldn't have proper field conditions...at any rate, the Redskins should be able to play in ANY conditions. If they had moved on to play San Francisco, in San Francisco, they would have had to play in even worse field conditions and/or weather problems. Seattle adjusted to it and they play in a dome! No excuses...… more ›
