I'm kind of surprised, given the minority owner's business, that they never floated the idea of the Washington Express.

Sounds like it's the Admirals

I don't see how they will change their color scheme to a blue and white/grey naval scheme somewhat similar to the Cowboys. That will be more offensive to their fan base than changing the name. It would be like Ohio State suddenly changing their colors to maize and blue.

i like the generic name, similar to famous soccer clubs around the world. let the fans develop their own nickname for the team. if the redskins merge with a local football team, washington united is in the cards, until d.c. united's law team contacts them.

Aligning an NFL team's identity with a team in a second rate league is an odd position. And bad for marketing I'd think.

I still favor the Washington Filibusters as a nickname. But the Washington Gridlock could also work.

Hussra mentioned some Washington Admirals team in a sport(?) I've never heard of. The point still stands.

I know they won’t but from the beginning I wanted the Pigskins. You keep the Hoggettes, you can still call them the Skins, and keep the red and yellow.

Sure maybe you’d piss of vegans and PETA but they’re triggered by their own shadow fearing they might be hurting animals.

True. At least the first time you could make the case that he would continue to get better.

Ive been to Ben's a few times at U Street when I used to regularly go to DC for work. Made the mistake of having Ben's at Reagan before a flight, half smokes and then getting on an airplane do not mix well.

I ate at Ben's before driving back 10 hours to Chicago. I usually have an iron stomach.

I love the shakes. They remind me of Demon Dogs.

I also love the original smokie with everything. I have no idea why you would put mustard on it as the taste is completely washed by the chili and strong smoked flavors.

Not to sound like a Dan Snyder apologist, but it's really hard to believe he is this stupid. I won't lose any sleep if he's booted out of the league, but over this???
