Stat of the Day: A New Low for the Redskins

Joe Posnanski points out that the Washington Redskins this week will be playing a winless team for the sixth consecutive week. That is utterly unbelievable. And even more unbelievable is that they have managed a losing record against those five unfeated teams. In fact, the Giants, whom Washington played in Week1, are the only one of those five opponents with a non-Washington win - the other four opponents are 2-2 agains the Redskins but a Detroit Lions-esque 0-15 against everyone else. (Last year's Lions, that is, since of course this year's version beat the 'Skins.)

I know there are a lot of Redskins fans on here who probably don't want to talk about this, but like an college athletic director who just discovered a violation in his own program, it probably would have been best for everyone if you had just brought this to our attention yourselves.

Your team is lame, amazingly, historically lame. And really crappy at football. Perhaps it's some consolation that a lot of the players on it will be retarded or insane in the not-too-distant future...

P.S. The Economist also finds your mascot offensive, but disregard that, the important thing is that they come up with a reasonably funny alternative: The Washington Real Americans. Can we just call them the 'Mericans for short?
