1975 WAS the Mel Gray game...............check out Gray's reaction when he drops it. One day, I swear I am going to make a video called "What is a catch in the NFL?". This one will be at the top of the list along with the Megatron no-catch. BTW, Jim Hart was on the Redskins for his final season in 1984.

3 toppings today....Code is 3TD NOT 3TDW......I recommend double peperoni, sausage, and extra sauce ($1 extra). Hoping the team goes medieval on the Giants this week. I really like the colors on this guy.

Captain Hoodie goes down in flames and we all get 2 free toppings and a 6 piece order of Zepoles to celebrate the first win over NE since 2003 (btw, I WAS at that game). Be sure to put the 6 zepoles in your cart before putting in the promo code. Try it with the extra sauce ($1 upcharge, but worth it)

A tough loss and no free zepoles for us, but 4 free toppings is the silver lining in the cloud. No free Zepoles for you...come back after beating NE and Captain Hoodie: Just hope we do not get robbed like we did in 1972........then again, when was the last time we blocked a punt?

Pray for Bad Weather.......

Andyman was mentioned in the Cranky Fan's Guide to Daniel Snyder: Andyman: Fake name widely believed to be used by top Redskins officials to post anti-media rants on fan message boards. In 2005, Washington City Paper reported that Karl Swanson, Snyder’s longtime PR chief, had registered on sportsjournalists.com, a website where Andyman often sniped at The Washington Post. Andyman, which could be Pig Latin for Danny M (Snyder’s first name, middle initial) all but disappeared after the report.

Tried it today and you have to add the 6 Zepolli's to the order in order for the 3TDW code to work.

We do in Fredericksburg VA (Central Park near Chik Fil A). I got a 4 topping XL for $17.99 and a free 6 piece order of Zeppoles (soft fried dough that you dip in raspberry jelly) since the Redskins, er...Commanders won. Also got $5 off as a new customer (yeah, they let me triple dip on the discounts).

Yes, the article states that Domino's in other NFL cities picked up on this promo following the 1999. I was living in Richmond VA at the time and could not partake of the almost free pizza.

Will give credit to the coaches for that bold decision. Science actually supports their move: Physics and Football: How Denver's Altitude Affects Field Goals | HowStuffWorks

Yeah, not surprised either. I am surprised that I had not seen this before and it was not in the Cranky Fan's Guide either. I actually compiled an update to the Cranky Fan's Guide. Maybe I'll post it someday.

Yeah, I forgot about the 2 pt conversion. 4 is pretty good. Just hope they don't skimp on the free toppings like Pappa Johns did at one point.

OK, so one of the first deals the new (and improved) ownership group signed was with Paisano's Pizza. LIke Domino's and Pappa John's, there is a deal linked to the results of the last game on the Monday after the game. The Paisano deal is one free topping for each TD scored. Similar to the Pappa John's deal, but no doubling for a win. Specials - Welcome Paisano's Pizza Restaurant (paisanospizza.com) Given the team scored 4 TDs vs. Denver, what is the promo code? I want to give then a try tonight. BTW, I remember the Domino's deal in 1999. Brad Johnson and Co. put up so many points, but I could not benefit as I was living in Richmond VA at the time. Also, here is a great article about the team ending the deal with Domino's. It even has a quote from Karl Swanson (AKA Andyman) as well. I am surprised that I never knew how poorly the Redskins/Snyder treated Domino's, but this was a sign of things to come. In 2000, they wanted over $800K for the deal that was $80K in 1999 and said the person who made the three year deal in 1999 was not authorized to do so (WTF?) No Extra Slice, So Redskins Drop Domino's - The Washington Post Never mind, had to sign up and make an account on their website. The code is 4TDW. Not sure if you need to sign up for an account or not to get it.

...reading Tony K's bandwagon column in the Post. I would take the little drawings and xerox them at 150% a couple of times and stick them on my door at work. He would just write all this stuff about how great they were (tongue in cheek) and they would just get it done..... WashingtonPost.com: Tony Kornheiser's Bandwagon Lately I have been watching 1991 highlights and Sean Taylor highlights to pass time and avoid the reality of the s-show that is the current franchise. I've also started writing an update to the "Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder". I will start a thread on this soon....please feel free to add on. Here's the original from 2010: The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder - Washington City Paper

Interesting, so does that mean since these are no longer premium seats that the league's ticket revenue sharing is in play for the Club Seats?

Yep, I had dropped two of my four tickets in 2021. The other two I sold to my Redskins Buddy Steve who has been buying two of my four for years. I got the notice in the mail and did not even bother to open it. I got a call this afternoon from someone in the ticket office saying today was the deadline to renew and did I want to renew? I was like WTF WFT? I said I really wanted to xfer them to my friend and could I do that. She said yes and there was a form to fill out I asked if there was a fee, 'cause you know how much sneaky Snyder loves his fees, and she said no. I texted my friend to see if he wanted them again and that we could xfer them later. He said yes. I opened the letter and it mentions 3 levels of Gold Membership - Family and Friends, Ultra, and Business Network, but NO explanation of what they were or how they worked. I got him friends and family. Also, there are two ways to pay. All at once OR a 10 month plan with the first payment due today.....yes, the 2021 season is still going on (without the WFT/Redskins) and we are already paying lil' Danny Snyder for 2022. I still have my REDSKINS MASTERCARD (which they can try and pry from my cold dead hands). The REDSKINS MASTERCARD used to offer you free 6 months of financing on ticket (but not parking, found that out the hard way last year) purchases of $500 or more. With the 10 month payment plan, it is going to be hard to qualify for that unless you are a real glutton for punishment and have $5000+ of tickets on your account....if so, I don't know whether to be impressed by your loyalty or frightened of your stupidity. Either way, I hope the person responsible for you keeps you away from sharp objects. The price did not change for my tickets or more accurately, the tickets on my account. Upper lever Upper row sideline 2 tix for $1294.20 plus (the sneaky Snyder) PG County Amusement tax on another line below the subtotal for $143.80. which adds up to $1438 / 20 = $71.90. Red lot parking is still (only) $500 -- remember when it was $100 in 1997? >> BTW, has your salary gone up 5x since then?...me neither. ...and of course the Lil' Danny Snyder Processing Fee of $25. (same!) The good thing is that there will be only 1 crappy/meaningless preseason game and 9 regular season games (of which x > 0 will be crappy/meaningless). My parents now live in Ashburn VA and I drive by Redskins Park on my way to see them. Every time, I roll down my window and yell "SNYDER, YOU SUCK!". I encourage others to do the same. Also, no stadium in VA. No, no, no....1000x NO. I hope the people in Richmond remember the bad taste in their mouth from dealing with Snyder. You do business with Snyder, you get the short and smelly end of the stick. Redskins-Richmond projections were off by millions - Washington Times The unpopular Richmond-based Redskins training camp arrangement appears to be at an end - Hogs Haven Oh yeah and don't forget -- this is over 10 years old - we need a part II. The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder - Washington City Paper and two of our former boy wonder coaches are still in the playoffs. Congrats! You survived the "Reverse Car Wash".

Is this program dead? Is there any way to cash out of points that were in your account?

Joe: You and I have a very similar experience. My brother and I gave up our tickets that I have had since 1999 and had waited 14 years to get. A few years ago, my brother gave up two LOWER level tickets that our family has been using since the days of RFK. I used to be on this site a lot and I think this is the first time I have been here in 2021. My buddy kept his two tickets which are in my name, but I plan to transfer them to him once I can find a way to cash in my Redskins Rewards points (are these still around??). I've followed the team since 1971, but my interest has been waning of late....

My boss got upgraded to orange parking. He is in section 139(?)

I guess they love you back......

SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Deputies in Spotsylvania say a 17-year-old is suspected of stealing was shot Wednesday morning. According to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, a woman on Forbidden Forest Circle saw a man in her car. When she approached the man, he pulled a mask over his face and began to walk away with items he had stolen from her vehicle. She ran after him, with a man and woman rushing in to help. After confronting the suspect near Harrison Road, deputies say the suspect brandished guns. That’s when the man assisting the woman in chasing down the suspect shot him. Further investigation revealed the suspect’s guns were toys that were painted black. The man who shot the suspect had a valid concealed weapons permit. Police charged a 17-year-old of Spotsylvania with brandishing a firearm, wearing a mask in public and petit larceny. After being treated at a local hospital for a gunshot wound to his leg, he was transported to the Rappahannock Juvenile Detention Center. https://www.wric.com/news/crime/juvenile-robbery-suspect-shot-by-bystander-after-brandishing-toy-guns/

I think they would have a lot of nerve to raise parking or ticket prices, so I guess that means beer and other concessions will go up and/or get smaller. $10 Miller pony bottles? I split my 4 tickets with my brother (1) and a friend of mine (2). When is the "deadline" to decide? I only went to 3? games last year and netted less than face value for EVERY game I sold (gross for Patriots was close, but the net was a loss due to stubhub fees). My brother and I have season tickets to UVA football as well and they have already announced their six game home schedule for 2019 (all home games Saturdays).

Indian man dies after getting attacked by his rooster on their way to a ****fight New Delhi (CNN)An Indian man has died after a tussle with his rooster -- on their way to a ****fight. Saripalli Chanavenkateshwaram Rao, 50, was hit in the neck with a blade tied to the rooster's claw on January 15. A police spokesman told CNN the father of three was taken to hospital, where he later died from a stroke. Rao, who lived in Pragadavaram village in southern India's Andhra Pradesh state, was a regular at local ****fights, and was on his way to enter the rooster in a competition when it tried to break free, station house officer Kranti Kumar said. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/22/india/rooster-****fight-death-intl-hnk-scli/index.html I was bummed that the **** did not stab the guy's ****. …..still waiting on a story where a pack of dogs maul Michael Vick and don't bother anybody else.

I am going to miss this thread...….

It's December and this is the best thing we can say about this season...….(actually, I think I am getting better...…)
