Washington Redskins

Tom Wilson, Andre Burakovsky, John Carlson, and Devante Smith-Pelly join John Wall at Redskins game

After getting molly-whopped by the Indianapolis Colts during their home opener, the Washington Redskins turned out an impassioned performance against the Green Bay Packers, defeating future Hall of Famer Aaron Rogers 31-17 at a soggy FedEx Field.

Much like the week before, Capitals players were in attendance. But this time they got to see a thrilling win and hang out with Washington Wizards superstar John Wall.

Brobeans Tom Wilson and Andre Burakovsky took in the game in a suite along with Devante Smith-Pelly and John Carlson.

A Redskins fan showed off his Stanley Cup champions tattoo to Alex Ovechkin. It was on his tushy.

While the Capitals lost to the Boston Bruins in a shootout during the first preseason game of the season, the team’s captain Alex Ovechkin attended the Washington Redskins home opener.

Although the Redskins lost, Ovechkin was clearly winning off the field after being shown a Stanley Cup tattoo on someone’s gluteus maximus. Classic.

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.

A pitch to Washington football fans: Join the Capitals fan base and never look back

If you’ve been living under a rock, or you don’t spend any time on the internet, Thursday was a dramatic day for fans of the local D.C. football team. The NFL’s free agency period started and the Redskins didn’t disappoint. If you need a quick update on what happened, let me clue you in.

The team decided to not re-sign some pretty important players, so those players went to other teams. Their quarterback, Kirk Cousins, is allegedly dying to go to the 49ers for some reason and requested to be traded. The Redskins made it difficult for Cousins and it’s looking like he will stay, which is very awkward and kinda reminds me of that time I broke up with a boyfriend and he simply replied, “no”. They also fired their GM, Scot McCloughan, who didn’t make it to the NFL Combine to scout for some new talent due to taking care of some family matters. But, once McCloughan was fired, some sources decided to be wildly inappropriate and blame it on his alcoholism.

As Redskins fans, this has been an extremely tough time. People are fed up and they are calling into radio shows to say they’re done with the team, being really dramatic on twitter (mainly me but that’s not new), and even showing up at Redskins Park in Ashburn with pitchforks to protest.

But, Washington football fans, it’s important to remember there is always a silver lining. What if I told you there is a promiseland of sorts that you could retreat to? What if there was a place you could go to be a fan and not be ashamed of being a fan? Well folks, there is. The sport is hockey and your new team should be the Washington Capitals.

Why the Redskins’ DeSean Jackson posted a photo of RMNB’s photographer on Instagram

You may have noticed my photo posts on RMNB have been fewer in number this season. That’s because, in the fall, I landed the internship of a lifetime. I was hired by the Washington Redskins to shoot home games from the sidelines and professionally cover their events.

Now that the NFL season is coming to a close, I have been getting back into the groove of the spring semester at school. While I was working on assignments Wednesday night, I started receiving notifications from people tagging me in a photo on Instagram. The photo was posted by DeSean Jackson of the Redskins. Normally when this happens, it’s one of the players giving me credit for taking a photo. But in this photo, I was actually the focus of the shot.
