Alternative Names for the Washington Redskins
Whether or not you believe the Redskin name is racist, you might reconsider after looking at some of the alternative options some journalists are floating (mostly in jest i hope)
Dan Snyder Must Go started as a blog in 2009. Below is an archive of the posts from back then. Some links work, some don't. Enjoy

Hail to Hunter the punter Smith. He ran for a touchdown and threw for one. That's more TD's than lot of our playmakers. I was wondering whether I should call him Hunter the "punter" or Hunter the "sock". You'll know what I am talking about when you see the following picture:
Skins pretty much dominated the entire game and should've won the game. But our inablilty to score TD's is not new. This year could be a record setting year for the skins to score fewest points. Now with two more starters out who were backups to start with we are running out of bodies in O' line and running back. This has been a bizarre season in terms of injuries. Silver lining is Rock is running with passion and Anothony Montgomery is not a big drop off from the Rhino.
Positives:
Been busy this week and did not get a chance to blog. So here's the weired part about last game, I am now satisfied with just moral victory. Our losses were so painful early in the season that now if I see a game where we are competitive, I am happy. This is what we call lowering your expectation in the business.
I thought JC played real well and there is a visible difference in his game than what I saw earlier in the year. He is making the decision faster.
1) Greg Williams' gut.
2) Campbell Yesss!
3) Running game Yesss!
4) Karim Moore! Yay! Karim Moore Nooooooo! Refs c'mon! ...
Sometimes you've got to stay with a player when they are down because of the body of work. Yes, Suisham had 3 missed field goals, costing us 2 games. But he was kicking very well for us in the early part of the season, when all our points came pretty much from field goals. He will be picked up by some other team and become another David Akers again.
If there is one constant withing the last decade with the Redskins, it's Vinny. Vinny, the right hand man to Snyder has dragged the team to a national punch line many times during his reign. I have so many gripes against him that I cannot really list it in one post. DC Sports Bog is reporting about some comments that Schottenheimer made:
It appears that Jason Campbell has turned a corner and improved his game to a level that he can be considered as a really good QB in the NFL. The way he has been playing the last few games tells me that something has clicked in his head. He is doing the things that he has not done consistently before. He is being decisive, stepping up the pocket while looking down-field and correctly throwing to the hot read when he is blitzed. Oh, he is also throwing the long balls much better.
