Tour of Duty Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I don't know if any of you listen to Riggo on SIRIUS but he consistantly says how the Redskins are not a good football team. Today he even said "people tell me I'm anti Gibbs, well I guess I am. I just think the game has passed him by" I love this guy but I just don't get it.

LiveStrongSkins Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 How can you be "anti-Gibbs" after it was him that made Riggins who he was. I've never been on the Riggins bandwagon. I think in this era he wouldnt even be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diego1115 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 he sounds that way at times....but it is what it is i think he is more Anti-Portis than anything.....i dont know what he or Tony K has against that man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Riggo is always a little too broad in his statements. This is not a good offensive football team. It's a good defensive team. Overall, it's an average team leaning towards good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Well I will say this. Riggo says what he wants, when he wants. Always has. Gibbs respects that. He may not like it, but he respects that. So, like was already said, it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel22 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 :laugh: Don't kid yourself dude. Riggins was a beast, and still would be. Amen!!! Riggo has always marched to the beat of a different drum and he has never been afraid to share whats on his mind -- some people cant handle that. Luckily for me -- I dont have to choose between Coach and the Diesel -- I love em both :dallasuck :wewantd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpy007 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Remember guys Riggo was and is an individual. He is the kind of guy that loves to stir the pot. He loves the spotlite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffylookin Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 John Riggins certainly could play in today's football...........he'd be a great backup and provide short yardage relief for Clinton Portis but anyone who thinks that he could supplant Portis as a starter :laugh: .....spare me. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2Skins Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Actions speak louder than words. Gibbs has created a great team. SI said the Skins would only win 4 games all season. Minus a few bad calls on big plays this season the Skins could easily be on top the division. You've seen the games; the Skins can beat anyone. Regardless of how it ends up this season will be remembered. Who cares what anyone ( including Riggins ) says. He's just acting like he knows what he's talking about because he's on the radio.

Jordan086 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Riggo isn't the smartest guy. He's gotta love Gibbs, but he does seem to enjoy talking bad about the Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunellSuperbowl Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 the game passed JoPA by too lol when you get youth and talent at the wide outs and QB. You are a genius. When you have a over the hill QB , and one wide out , you look bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Riggo was my kind of back. I love the guy. He's like the big stupid town idiot you just couldn't help but like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboylifer Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 whenever an ex-redskin picks against the skins they become dumb and illiterate and haters by many on here. i of course was not a riggo fan however he was a redskin r.b. who has won a superbowl so i can respect that he has better knowledge than any of us, however, we dont have to like or agree with him. the skins have won 4 of their last 10 games, to sub-par teams. they do have a great defense, and they come to play each week. that will always keep you in the game, however, gibbs has his people in place, he is an offensive genius, and the redskins can barely score. maybe riggo aint so dumb.

Atown Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 riggo had like 1000-1300 yard seasons with the hogs. give portis the hogs and he will have 1700-2000 season. I think he is mad cause joe gibbs said portis is the best rb he coached and that portis matched riggo's best season with a poor passing game beat up o line and a rookie TE.

REEGSKINS Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 riggins just tries to get ratings. that show stinks him and adam shyne just contradict everything they say. people listen to riggo cause he is over the edge. but that show is horrible. if you want to listen to a very good show on sirius listen to MOVIN THE CHAINS with T rock and pat kirwan.

jerrarde Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Funny how Riggo gets to say anything he wants about our beloved coach and no one on here really rips him. Let another commentator say the same thing and this site goes crazy. Riggo is a hall of famer because Gibbs believed he could still play after he retired. So Gibbs brings him back, and now Riggo is anti Redskin. I respect what he did for us, but honestly he is not my favorite Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarpon75 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I have listened to Riggins talk about the Redskins multiple times on Sirius, and one thing for sure he waffles.Some days he tears the Skins apart then he will do an about face.Just the other day he picked the Skins over the Boys and was calling himself a Redskin homer. He said,he couldn't help it and that he liked it or something to that effect.Something else I noticed is he is off the wall ,he comes out of left field with some of his commentary.As others have said, alot of it is for effect and may not nescessarily his true feelings.
