Top The Redskins Quotes

The Redskins Quotes By Hunter S. Thompson

The two keys to success as a sportswriter are: 1) A blind willingness to believe anything you're told by the coaches, flacks, hustlers and other "official spokesmen" for the team-owners who provide the free booze ... and: 2) A Roget's Thesaurus, in order to avoid using the same verbs and adjectives twice in the same paragraph.
Even a sports editor, for instance, might notice something wrong with a lead that said: "The precision-jack-hammer attack of the Miami Dolphins stomped the balls off the Washington Redskins today by stomping and hammering with one precise jack-thrust after another up the middle, mixed with pinpoint-precision passes into the flat and numerous hammer-jack stomps around both ends ... — Hunter S. Thompson

The Redskins Quotes By MariJo Moore

They sent out notices to all the tribal leaders, and they told us we could have whatever we wanted: Prairie Niggers, if the New Jersey team did not object, Redskins, Savages, Warriors, Heathens, Braves, Bucks - and of course the cheerleaders would be the Squaws, unless we wanted to modernize the language and just call them the Cunts. But — MariJo Moore

The Redskins Quotes By Winona LaDuke

The idea that you can dress up in some kind of a fake Indian outfit and get on stage is somehow acceptable in this country. That has to do with the fact that you have the Redskins, the Braves, you have people who dress up like Indians, people dress up like Indians on Halloween. That is acceptable. — Winona LaDuke

The Redskins Quotes By Kirk Cousins

This is how it needs to be in life. Solomon also wrote these words in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV) "Two are better than one, because if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls down and has no one to help them up." God didn't intend for us to do life alone. So let me ask you, who do you turn to when life hits you hard in the mouth? Your family? Some trusted friends? A teacher or coach? Are you building relationships today that will be there for you tomorrow when adversity comes your way? Do you have humility to look to others for strength and encouragement, or are you holding to the foolish pride that says, "I need to make it alone"? — Kirk Cousins

The Redskins Quotes By Terrell Davis

The Redskins Quotes By Sherman Alexie

Last night I missed two free throws which would have won the game against the best team in the state. The farm town high school I play for is nicknamed the "Indians," and I'm probably the only actual Indian ever to play for a team with such a mascot.
This morning I pick up the sports page and read the headline: INDIANS LOSE AGAIN.
Go ahead and tell me none of this is supposed to hurt me very much. — Sherman Alexie

The Redskins Quotes By Wolf Blitzer

I'm a season ticket holder to the Washington Wizards, and I love going to Washington Nationals and Redskins games. — Wolf Blitzer

The Redskins Quotes By Michael Lewis

A new force in pro football, Taylor demanded not just a tactical response but an explanation. Many people pointed to his unusual combination of size and speed. As one of the Redskins' linemen put it, "No human being should be six four, two forty-five, and run a four-five forty." Bill Parcells thought Taylor's size and speed were closer to the beginning than to the end of the explanation. New York Giants' scouts were scouring the country for young men six three or taller, 240 pounds or heavier, with speed. They could be found. In that pool of physical specimens what was precious - far more precious than an inch, or ten pounds, or one tenth of a second - was Taylor's peculiar energy and mind: relentless, manic, with grandiose ambitions and private standards of performance. — Michael Lewis

The Redskins Quotes By Robert Griffin III

I know I'm the No. 1 quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and that's all that matters in my heart. That's all I wanted. I wanted a team that wanted me, and I found that. — Robert Griffin III

The Redskins Quotes By Tony Kornheiser

So instead of the Super Bowl, we've got the Stupor Bowl. Two once-proud teams, now 0-4 and stumbling through the season like zombies. And if you think the Cowboys are bad (and they are), the Redskins are so bad that every few plays you have to put a mirror under thieir noses to make sure they're still breathing. — Tony Kornheiser

The Redskins Quotes By Bill Cowher

This isn't Kirk Cousins' job to win. Right now this is Kirk Cousins' job to lose ... He's putting together a profile right now, a resume of these next seven weeks that will make the decision easy for the Redskins: either they sign him to a contract or they're still looking for the quarterback of the future. — Bill Cowher

The Redskins Quotes By Catherine Coulter

Sean's our boy, big into computer games and football, wants to help the Redskins build a dynasty, though he doesn't really know what that means. — Catherine Coulter

The Redskins Quotes By Tim Tebow

I knew I loved football before I even played it. Uh, but the first time I stepped out on the field playing for the Lakeshore Redskins, I knew that I loved this game. I knew that this was something I wanted to do. And I was only 6 years old, but I loved it. — Tim Tebow

The Redskins Quotes By Michael Lewis

The quarterback of the Washington Redskins, Joe Theismann, turns and hands the ball to running back John Riggins. He watches Riggins run two steps forward, turn, and flip the ball back to him. It's what most people know as a "flea-flicker," but the Redskins call it a "throw back special." Two Mississippi: Theismann searches for a receiver but instead sees Harry Carson coming — Michael Lewis

The Redskins Quotes By Rob Huebel

I've had and probably still have a lot of bad haircuts. My mom just sent me some pictures - I don't know why she did this - but she sent me some pictures of me when I was probably like 12. I grew up in the D.C. area and I used to wear a Redskins jersey just walking around. I just had kind of a bowl haircut for a long time and no sense of style or personal hygiene. — Rob Huebel

The Redskins Quotes By Robert Griffin III

The Redskins haven't won the division since 1999, and we came in and we did it in one year! — Robert Griffin III

The Redskins Quotes By Ken Follett

Did she go to Washington Redskins football games, or follow the Nats baseball team? — Ken Follett

The Redskins Quotes By Sherman Alexie

It's hard to be optimistic on the reservation. When a glass sits on a table here, people don't wonder if it's half filled or half empty. They just hope it's good beer. Still, Indians have a way of surviving. But it's almost like Indians can easily survive the big stuff. Mass murder, loss of language and land rights. It's the small things that hurt the most. The white waitress who wouldn't take an order, Tonto, the Washington Redskins. — Sherman Alexie

The Redskins Quotes By Daniel Snyder

The Redskins have been active champions in the fight against childhood obesity through our commitment with the NFL Play 60 program. — Daniel Snyder

The Redskins Quotes By Hunter S. Thompson

The Redskins Quotes By Daniel Snyder

Sammy Baugh embodied all we aspire to at the Washington Redskins. He was a competitor in everything he did and a winner. He was one of the greatest to ever play the game of football, and one of the greatest the Redskins ever had. — Daniel Snyder

The Redskins Quotes By Maureen Dowd

Good and evil are not like the Redskins and the Cowboys. — Maureen Dowd

The Redskins Quotes By Michael Vick

The beginning of my love for football goes back to when I was seven years old. I was spending time with my grandmother, Caletha Vick. I never knew anything about the game until one Sunday afternoon when she turned on the television because the Redskins were playing. They were my Uncle Casey's favorite team-and my grandmother's favorite too. After watching the game with them, I was hooked. — Michael Vick
