adam@section118 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/ Practice broke Thursday afternoon and while the team's third and final minicamp might have officially concluded, unofficially, the competition was just getting started. Redskins' Coach Mike Shanahan planned an afternoon for his players far from the hot practice fields at Redskins Park. "We're going to take the team out, have a little challenge at the bowling alley, bring some of the alums who have been here," Shanahan said. Some former players were at Redskins Park on Thursday for an alumni event, and they were invited to compete with the current players at an area bowling alley. "What we do is we get the top 10 offensive bowlers, defensive bowlers, support staff, coaching staff and alums, and we compete against each other. The winner gets a trophy about that high," Shanahan said, holding his hand about four feet off the ground, "and it's about five times bigger than the Super Bowl trophy. We'll have some fun with it."

Not the bowling. It also shows that while Shanahan's a hardass, he can have fun and he rewards the hard work you put in. Which is good, because I was just watching the special on the 2007 Giants, and how much of an ass hole Tom Coughlin was before that year, and I can't imagine wanting to play hard for a guy like that.

SonOfWashington Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Yeah, the team did this last year. http://blog.redskins.com/2009/06/09/fred-smoot-bowls-with-tremendous-enthusiasm/ And the PBA gave Smoot entry into an event, but I never heard about that again. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2009/06/pba_responds_to_smoot.html#more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewCliche21 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 To bad Smoot wasn't invited. That seems weird. Was it because this regime cut him? He, aside from the dumbass Love Boat and leaving for Minny, was a very good example of what it means to be a Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kappaluvacee Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Simple things like this make you wonder why the heck wasn't this done before. It just makes too much sense. I know the answer to that question, but it gives you real insight into the football capacity of the former pilots of our franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsgal Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Any pictures?!?!?! Did they go to Strike Bethesda?? They were at the bowling alley on Drainsville Road in Sterling. They did go bowling last year as well at the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
