Standing ovation. This is one of the best-researched pieces I've ever seen on Deadspin. Holy moly, where do you guys keep the DHOF ballots?

Great piece. I always enough your writing on this team.

That's not fair. One of the two believes himself to be the literal messiah. The other was Sun Myung Moon.

based on the acrimonious split between Riggins and WTEM, I was actually shocked a couple weeks ago to notice Riggo's voice in commercials on that station again.... for Papa Johns and some estate planning guy (Mike Smith?... or something similar)..... never thought I'd hear his voice on 980am ever again....

Hi, Redskins PR Dept. intern!

Two losing traditions that deserve each other.

Yeah, if you don't like reading Pravda, just read other news in Moscow!

It's like Lenny talking about the bunnies on the farm before BAM
