The origin of the Sucky Cowboys.
Just wanted to clarify Nate's origin of the Evil Empire a little bit. It's kinda funny because the Cowgirls wouldn't have exhisted if not for the Redskins.
In 1937 when George PReston Marshall moved the team to DC from Boston he wantedto do something to attract the female crowd. So in order to do so he established the first team Marching band. The fowllowing year came the unvailing of the first professional fight song. Written by Barnee Breeskin. (The orgiginal words were acctually penned by Marshalls wife, it orginally said, "Beat 'em, swamp 'em, touchdown! -- Let the points soar!" it once went, "Scalp 'em, swamp 'em -- We will take 'em big score / Read 'em, weep 'em, touchdown! -- We want heap more!") Anyway. In the late fifties Breeskin and Marshall had a falling out and he sold the rights to "Hail to the Redskins" to Clint Murchison, the same man trying to start the Dallas franchise. Murchison then held the song hostage from Marshall in return for the deciding approving vote for the Dallas Cowgirls.
Hence the bitter rivalry begins.
I just don't see how anyone could hate Riggo. Let alone classify him as evil. Jerry Jones, now thats evil. But Riggo no way! He's just your average fun loving redneck, hunter, soap opera actor. That 4th an 1 run for a TD against the Dolphins. One of the best plays ever, (to give credit where credit is due, so was Dorsett's 99 yard romp against the Skins) Plus the imfamous "Lighten up Sandy" to Juctice O'Conner just before passing out under the table at a pre confirmation party.
Theesman is an idiot. The whole name changing thing was lame, he is a terrible analyst on ESPN, all he does is ride whatever bandwagon is rolling at the time.
Watching Dexter Manley knock Danny White unconcious was one of my favortie momments in football. That guy was a wimp.
The Hogs...lame? Are you kidding me, they are perhaps the best offensive line unit EVER in the NFL. The Fun Bunch, the originators of the touchdown dance, ( And originators of the 15 yard penalty for team celebration), awesome. Dallas wishes it could have had such a trio of WRs on their roster at one time.
What class an organization shows to cut thier lifeblood, thier all time leading rusher, the identity of the team. He only wanted to play one more year, just to get the all time record, and they thow him out on the street. For a guy who isn't even in the NFL anymore. Great move, typicall of the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
Hail to the Redskins!!!
