The Washington Redskins, who recently concluded a miserable 3-13 season, introduced new head coach Ron Rivera to the media on Thursday.
Owner Dan Snyder kicked things off by wishing members of the press a happy holiday season.
Except he — there’s no better way to put this — fumbled the statement.
Harpers Ferry Brewing is a gorgeous brewery that sits on the Potomac River in Purcellville, Virginia. On Wednesday, the company announced that they will be releasing a new beer called “Sell the Team”.
The beer is an ode to the Brewery’s favorite football team and its owner Dan Snyder. The announcement came after the Washington Redskins’ record fell to 1-8 this season – the worst in the NFL.

The Washington Redskins got shut out by the San Francisco 49ers 9-0, Sunday, in a soggy, mud-filled game at FedEx Field. It was the DC football team’s sixth loss in seven games of what is already another harrowing season.
Later that night, Capitals radio announcer John Walton, who always stays up and up on local DC sports current events, put in perspective just how bad things are for the Redskins after TJ Oshie scored the Capitals’ first goal of the game.
I woke up this morning and felt it in my bones. I was going to be mad about Daniel Snyder again, but this time it was going to be tied to the Capitals’ success.
Chris Russell chatted with the good folks at 106.7 the fan and let them know that he wasn’t in the room where it happened, but he was told by multiple people in THAT building…that the Washington NFL team owner Daniel Snyder and team president Bruce Allen are unhappy about the Washington Capitals’ success.

Last summer, the Washington Capitals were victorious, bringing home the Stanley Cup. The Capitals were the first DC sports team to win a championship since the 1992 Washington Redskins.

Stanley Cup champion Alex Ovechkin was honored by the Washington Redskins ahead of the NFL team’s first home game of the regular season.
Joined by Caps’ Russians Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov at FedEx Field, Ovechkin accompanied Redskins players, including quarterback Alex Smith, for the coin toss as the team’s honorary captain.
He got a very loud reaction from fans when he was announced to the crowd. In fact, it was the loudest the crowd would be all day.
