  1. In 1992, Jack Kent Cooke had an agreement with Virginia Governor Doug Wilder and the State of Virginia to build a new stadium on state owned Potomac Yards. The stadium would have brought a new Metro Station at Potomac Yards along with new access from George Washington Parkway. From the moment the agreement was announced, City of Alexandria officials and Democratic Congressman Jim Moran vowed to fight it to make sure it never came fruition. They did and it never happened. In the 30 years since then, the city built a shopping center on the property and still no Metro Station and south of the stadium site, 1000's of condos and apartments built. This all happened after talks to build next to RFK feel through but five months later, after the Potomac Yards deal feel through, he reached agreement with the City of D.C. to build the stadium adjacent to RFK. Once again, that deal feel through thanks to pressure from out of state Congressman since part of the land he needed was federally owned. Then he planned to build his new stadium in Laurel at the site Laurel Race Track. His idea was for the Redskins to become the de facto NFL team of not only Washington but Baltimore. This time the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore fought to ensure this wouldn't happen because they had hopes of bringing a new NFL team to Baltimore to a new stadium to be built at Camden Yards. Ultimately, he finally found his site for a stadium at it's current location. 10 years after he announced his decision to build a new stadium. He didn't live long enough to see if finished.

  3. You're eyesight must not be very good. If you look at the picture you linked, those are Reebok uniforms, not Nike. Try again.
  4. I joined Extremeskins in March of 2001, after lurking since September of 2000. I was on the old Sportstalk message boards and someone posted to check out this new Redskins message board. I don't think a day has passed in those almost 9 1/2 years that I haven't gone to this site first thing in the morning when I turn on my laptop. Thanks to all who made it happen and to all who help continue to make it happen.
