 Zorn Ready to Lead the ‘Maroon & Black’
For a little perspective on how surprising this was, we ran a poll this week asking who the Skins should hire . The choices were Spagnuolo, Mariucci, Meeks, Fassel and Other; which allowed for write-in votes. Jim Zorn was so far off the radar that not only did we not include him, but neither did any of the 365 votes that could’ve been written him in. So forgive me if I’m still ... [link]

Redskins: 'To hell with it, let's just hire Zorn'
Published 2/11/2008 at Shutdown Corner

by Alejandro de los Rios First impressions are hard. Usually forced, awkward, with all parties just wishing they could somehow just skip getting to know each other and just know each other. You know? Some first impressions are perfect, most are awkward, while some are just completely disasterous. With that in mind, what better way to start our relationship than by discussing the geopolitical turbulence caused by China’s human rights violations and continuing ...
