Explain Your Avatars, People!!!

I don't know who that bloke is. He just haunts over my posts 😒

[JCB]

I really liked watching ST play for us.

[Renegade7]

I've changed mine over the years...right now my current is my favorite comic book villain, if for any reason he's so convinced he's doing the right thing he doesn't see himself as a villain at all. 

 

A reminder that even if you are right that if you go about it the wrong way, it can be like you never right in the first place...and risk becoming the very monster you are claiming to be fighting...

One of my big Rock Cartwright memories?  
 

He did an interview. Where he mentioned that the Redskins had a team tradition. 
 

When a RB has a 100 yard game, he owes the OL a dinner. 
 

Rock did it once. And he told the interviewer that he felt bad about it. That he apologized to his teammates that, in the first year of his rookie contract as a seventh round draft pick, it had to be a cheap dinner. He said he took them to a buffet. 
 

And ever since reading that, I've tried to imagine the reactions of the staff, when the Redskins OL shows up at their buffet.

Football Zombie is a pretty good explanation of my relationship with the NFL.

 

Its also a reminder to throw out a lil comedy w/ my posts every once in a while.

Alvin Walton was my Rock Cartwright  

 

 

 

(actually,  Rock Cartwright, was my Rock Cartwright, too.... I liked him from his name alone.  Rock was more Cartwright than ANY of the other Cartwrights)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but...back to Alvin Walton.    A kinda slow 180 pound pro football player (and I think they were generous with that 180 pounds) whose meat and potatoes was HITTING people so hard that they forgot who and where the hell they were.   Those over-size shoulder pads (for a DB, no less!).      THAT was 1980s Redskins football----  to me, at least.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure Danny White was about to wet his pants...

I believe @Captain Wiggles bequeathed it to me.  But it could have been someone else. In any case, it was bequeathed.

[Captain Wiggles]

I don't think it was me but I do believe the bequeathing happened in a conversation I was involved in. 

 

Hopefully everyone was offended and there was much clutching of the pearls. 🤭

I remember Cartwright.   I really, really liked him and he was a very solid returner. 

I also remember that he fumbled away the game at the goal line against the Panthers.

I remember because I was pissed and blamed him in no small part for for costing us the game and a fellow member, (former member?), you know who it is if you were around back then, tore me a new asshole about it. 

She was a friend of the Cartwright's family and he could do no wrong, in her eyes. 😂

 

 

That former member was insufferable.

Football needs a return to the oversized shoulder pads.  And mohawks, too.

I just thought this photo of Jay Schroeder was hilarious.

 

Despite being CRUSHED the evening before watching that game, my sister and I cracked up when we saw that (or a very similar) picture in the Post the next day. We as elementary school kids thought he looked like a duck. 

 

But I was so mad all week...I was barely aware of the 1982 Super Bowl team and so disappointed in the 1983 letdown. So I was positive 1986 was my year. 

 

Oh, and mine is just dumb-dumb Dan Snyder, obviously.

Mine features Brooks Buford and Danny "Boone" Alexander from my favorite band "Rehab", circa late 90s. If you like rock/rap, check out their albums "Southern Discomfort" and "Cuzwecan". They're pretty fly for a couple of white guys.

Dancer wearing a Redskins dog shirt. I still have it somewhere, this photo was taken when she was a puppy at my brother's place in Maryland before they moved to Reedville.

@Spaceman Spiff

 

Here's another new disclosure from the Jumbo files. 😁

 

That former member attempted initiating a little x-rated phone activity with me within a year after I'd  joined the old guard mod staff.

 

And, according to that member and several in-the-know mods and other ES longtimers, actually had an off and on torrid fling with Mr. Cartwright while he was on the team.

 

I'm here with the long forgotten secret salacious headlines for your edification and entertainment. 👹 😉😆

Yall making me want to listen to Debbie Harry now.

Oh, I'd heard the rumors about the fling with Cartwright.  The 1-900 action with you, I had no idea about though.

If you mean your avatar, it looks to me like a young James Cagney, a versatile multitalented movie star who, along with Edward G. Robinson, was a true OG  of the great Hollywood gangster movies of the 30's and 40's. And no, I'm not that old 😏, but I saw those movies on tv as a kid and loved them.

This just keeps getting better and better!

The smarmy "I'm an insider and close friends with Cartwrights'  so my **** doesn't stink and you're a pissant" attitude was, shall we say, a bit disconcerting....
