I do remember an old color commentator for the NY Rangers, Bill "The Big Whistle" Chadwick, (he was a former NHL referee.) He was funny. Rangers brought up a guy named Gene Carr. Fastest skater anyone ever saw but had no shot at all. Chadwick said of him " he couldn't put the puck in the ocean if he was standing on the edge of a pier."
Another time he said a guy "handles his stick like a cow handles a gun."
That is fucking cold, funny, but cold.
Sonny Sam and Frank were not that blunt about when the Skins sucked, but the way they talked when we did bad, you could tell they had the virtual paper bags over their heads thinking, "COME ON!"
I feel about the Skins today like you'd feel like a family member letting out a big stinky fart at the Thanksgiving table, you love them, but you wish they would not embarrass you like that. FACE PALM!
The other analogy I've made about how long we have sucked since Danny bought the team and draft season after draft season we are spotty at best I say, "The Skins are like owning a Lamborghini with a oil leak and flat tire, they look great, but you cant do shit with them."
The Redskins are like that auto mechanic whom forgets there are 6 cylinders and you cant use a doughnut spare either if you expect to make it deep into the playoffs.
Skins, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I'D DIDN'T CHECK THE OIL? Ok, you are fucking picky, I know the manual says 10w-40 but I am going to use SW-30.
