Redskins Hire Jim Zorn As Head Coach
Published 2/9/2008 by Michael David Smith at FanHouse
Filed under: Redskins, Seahawks, Seattle, Washington, DC In an announcement that no one saw coming, the Washington Redskins have hired Jim Zorn as their new head coach. To the extent that fans know Zorn, they know him from his old days as a player, so here he is in those days:
The hiring comes as a major surprise, as widespread reports had Jim Fassel, Steve Mariucci and Ron Meeks as the finalists for the job. Zorn was slated to be the offensive coordinator no matter who got the job, but apparently Redskins owner Daniel Snyder decided that hiring Zorn for the top ...
Redskins Hire an X-Man!
Published 2/10/2008 by Andrew at The Grand National Championships
Great news for the Redskins! They’ve hired themselves a Mutant!
Xorn, the magnetic healer who made Charles Xavier walk, was the guy who Daniel Snyder decided to hire to coach the Redskins after Joe Gibb’s retirement. It may be a controversial hire to some, but I like it. It’s an agile mind with powers beyond ...

This is your Pro Bowl open thread, we'll get into it here in a minute. In the meantime, lots of other great bloggers went unnoticed in my last blogger roundup which. One of my favorite blogs, My Brain Says Rage, is none too happy with this hire. They open with Jim Fucking Zorn? and don't stop: ...
Vintage Zorn

Vintage Zorn Dramatic rare footage of Jim Zorn from 1981, and it was too boring for me even to watch all the way through, but gosh darn it if you want to see your new coach in short shorts, this is the place. If, on the other hand, you want to see Zorn sticking his hand into a helmet, just glance below. I was also asked to do a Zorn blogger opinion roundup, but darned if Hogs Haven hasn't pretty much covered that ground. So if you'd like to know what bloggers think about Zorn, check here ...

My knowledge of competitive swimming is pretty limited: I know that Mark Spitz won a shitload of gold medals in 1972, that for a while you couldn’t talk about the East German women’s team without using the term “saliva test,” and that swimmers go through more razor blades than the average person.
But I know a whooooooole lot more about swimming today than I did a day ago — a lot more than I want to know, frankly. For starters, I know that Australia’s Leisel Jones has a bit of back flab. I also know that America’s Amanda Beard definitely isn’t living up to her ...
Seahawks News Omnibus: Zorn in Short-Shorts
Published 6/2/2008 by Stencil at Field Gulls: Front Page Posts
Here's a toothsome Update from the men with the pens.
Frank Hughes: Duckett is clearly the odd man out so far in the backfield. Reports are the once rare combination of size and speed is now just large. We'll wait until the preseason to pass judgment. Courtney Taylor is working from the flanker spot, don't be surprised if he's ...
NICE SHORTS
Published 6/3/2008 at With Leather
Long before Jim Zorn was hired by the Redskins to shut the hell up and do whatever Dan Snyder asks, he was a better than mediocre quarterback on an atrocious Seahawks team. This video from Seahawks training camp in 1981 reveals that the Redskins got themselves a born leader with a real fiery speaking style. Also revealed: a whooooole lotta man-leg. Yikes. It's one thing to see Chris Cooley as the only guy on the field wearing a pair of nuthuggers as a joke. It's another thing entirely to see more thighs and helmets than a Viking sex boat. And yet, ...
Um, Mr. Zorn, Your Balls Are Showing
Published 6/4/2008 by Chris Mottram at Mr. Irrelevant
Chris Cooley and Jim Zorn have more in common that we ever imagined: They’re both white and they both wear hot pants:
I believe we should start the movement now for the Zorn Star to bring back the short shorts at some point this season. Either that, or wear the same blue bell bottoms that then Seahawks coach Jack Patera was rockin’ in that video. Comedy always helps to ease the pain of losing.

Bring on the Hot Pants
Published 6/7/2008 by noreply@blogger.com (Tanner Cooley) at The Official Blog of Chris Cooley
[image] Little does everyone know that the man soon to dawn these short shorts in a few weeks also started the single greatest tradition in USU football history. "Tight End Tights Day." The day only comes once a year with generally about 5 participants sporting a full suit of "man tights." The equipment manager issues the infamous spandex in late October and the team wears them under their uniforms when it's cold. After 3 years of wearing these navy blue butt huggers, Chris decided it was time to break the mold. Turning heads of the entire team and staff, he walked onto the field in nothing but his practice jersey and a pair 1980's black spandex complete ...
