"Where's Ricky Sanders!?!" Still a great moment.

Gary Clark of the Washington Redskins conducted at least 3 football camps at Native American reservations during his career. He wanted to know if they thought the Redskins name was racist. What he saw was Native Americans wearing Redskins gear and saying that they were proud to be a Redskin fan and the 5% that weren’t Redskins fans were Cowboys fans and that’s why they didn’t like the name.

[@stevehelinsky9039]

As a 40 year Redskins fan, I will never forget Doug Williams!!!! For all he went through and still prevailing with the GREATEST quarter in SUPERBOWL history is legendary!!! And Sam Huff said it best when Doug and the Redskins heard that DOUG WILLIAMS WAS THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER IN SUPERBOWL 22!!!! Sam Huff said "I hope that Doug Williams puts the vent in the black athlete in the NFL once and for all" AMEN Sam and HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!! I don't care if that is considered "triggering" on "Hate Speech" , to hell with political correctness!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan Synder needs to go because he reduced a great franchise into a pile of rubble although I think there is still hope in D.C. if he leaves.

Joe Gibbs and Bobby Beathard what a team. One could coach his ass off (Gibbs) and the other was a scouting savant (Beathard). Gibbs got two Super Bowl wins in the 1980s and three NFC Championships in that decade with rosters that were dotted with low-round draft picks, undrafted players, some replacement players, players obtained in shrewd trades (remember Jim Lachey?), fringe players on other teams but studs on the Redskins, and etc. Good shit Gibbs.

I find it crazy how Ernest byner’s fumble sent Denver to the super bowl but he did get one in 1991.....with the redskins

[@MD21037]

That was redemption for Earnest Byner, and as a proud possessor of a Super Bowl TD, made it all the more sweeter! "Go Earnest"; "Go Earnest"; "Go Earnest"; "..........

[@RoarOfWolverine]

One of the most lopsided trades in NFL history. The stupid Browns blamed Byner for that loss. The fans hated him and so did the franchise. Joe Gibbs took full advantage of this and offered a straight up trade, Ernest Byner for Mike Oliphant, a punt returner! The dumb ass Browns fans forgot that it was Byner’s awesome talent that got them to the championship game in the first place. Oliphant was a speedster who Gibbs had high hopes for, but he really never showed a lot of promise. He was certainly not an even trade for a world class running back. I remember laughing my ass off when I heard Cleveland had made that trade. As a Redskin fan, I was elated that the Skins got such a talent at RB and a double threat at that. Byner was just as deadly catching passes out of the backfield as much as running. Byner was worth so much more than a punt returner, as he proved when he helped take the Redskins to the Super Bowl in 1991. Byner got the last laugh when he got his SB ring while Cleveland is still waiting to get their first.

[@sabi2955]

@@RoarOfWolverine yeah, not only did he get them to the game, he was the reason they were in the position to win the game as they were And really, the WR missed a key block that would have gotten Ernest in the end zone relatively untouched

[@RoarOfWolverine]

@@sabi2955 I am really happy that it worked out in Byner’s favor, even though he looks so depressed laying there on the field, his own fans booing him. As we can see now, he would have never gotten a Super Bowl ring if he stayed with Cleveland, so the fumble turned out ot be a good thing in the long run. The fumble caused him to be traded to a much better team and organization, at least back then. Daniel Snyder has ruined that franchise and made a mockery of the brand with all of this sexual harrassment crap I keep hoping those charges will stick and he will have to sell the team, but I seriously doubt it. Those billionaires can buy their way out of any legal situations. Snyder could pull out a sawed-off shot gun and shoot Rivera on national television and never do any time, just like O.J. Simpson and he's a lot richer than the Juice ever was. The Redskins were one of the best organizations under Jack Kent Cook. They should trade Snyder to Cleveland.

[@Dan97LHS]

Watching this brings tears to my eyes. The Redskins were the "Rodney Dangerfield" of the NFL in 1987. We got no respect. HTTR!!

[@RoarOfWolverine]

They still get no respect for what they accomplished under Gibbs. It really pisses me off when I would hear announcers talk about the powerhouse teams of the 80s and name the 49ers, Giants and Bears!??? WTF! The fucking Bear went to and won exactly 1 Super Bowl, but somehow they were a powerhouse. The Giants went to 2 Super Bowls and won both, but the Redskins went to 4 Super Bowls and won 3, but somehow they’re not worth mentioning...? How can a team with that kind of record in a decade be completely forgotten about? The Redskins have always been hated by most commentators and announcer because every one of those bastard have at least one Dallas star tattooed on their ass cheeks, so the Redskins are their mortal enemy. The way they talk about the fucking Bears, you’d thought Chicago had won every other Super Bowl, sometimes they talk like the Bears have won ever Super Bowl, hell, sometimes like the Bears have won every game they ever played. Many commentators seem to favor older teams, like the Packer and Bears, but the Redskins are also one of the oldest teams in the NFL and Dallas didn’t come into the league until the 1960 expansion. The Skins came into the league in 1936! You are so right when you called them the Rodney Dangerfields of the NFL. They never get any respect, no matter how much they dominated the league.

Just beating Dallas on that Monday night, when so many veterans played for Dallas, was one of the most epic wins in NFL history. I was so happy when I heard that the Redskins made sure the replacements all got a ring, because they were a huge key in the Skins getting to the Super Bowl that year.

It was because Dallas upset the Cardinals in a game that was played later on that day. I think the Vikings were counted out at that point because the Cards were favored to beat Dallas, believe it or not? Dallas wasn’t very good that year. The Cardinal’s loss propelled the Vikings into the 6th seed wildcard game where they beat the Saints. Then they shocked the football world by eliminating the #1 seed 49ers in San Francisco! That gave the #3 seed Redskins home field advantage for the championship game, because they had beaten the #2 seed Bears. That was how the Redskins and Vikings ended up in the championship game at RFK.

204 rushing yds the mark still remains a SUPERBOWL MARK and just think all of the great RBs who came after him never sniffed this total.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

That record rightfully belongs to the greatest offensive line in NFL history. It’s a crime that only one player, Russ Grimm, from that line, is in the NFL hall of fame Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic played in all four seasons the Redskins made it to the Super Bowl, which resulted in three world titles, how are they not in the HOF? The narrator said it right, Timmy Smith “ ran through gaping holes...”, I’m sure that you or I could have danced through the holes that line created in that Denver line. Over an entire decade those hogs drilled holes through some of the best defensive lines in the NFL. Who was Timmy Smith? He was not the caliber rusher like, Marcus Allen or John Riggins, the two runners who held the records prior to him. Timmy Smith ran for the next season and was mediocre at best. He was let go by the Redskins after having substance abuse problems and bounced around the league, then ended up on the defunct start up league, then disappeared. It was that line that set the Super Bowl rushing records TWICE! John Riggins set the record in 1982 with that hog line. Marcus Allen broke that record the very next year and his record stood until Timmy Smith smashed Allen’s record in 1988 and that record still stands as the mark over 30+ years later! It’s a shame the record does not reflect that it was the same offensive line, for the most part, that opened the holes so those records could be obtained. In Riggins case, we can say, “ah.., he was a great rusher.”, but Timmy Smith? not so much. Bostic and Jacoby should be in the HOF for that accomplishment alone. Playing on the line that had four Super Bowl seasons is an incredible accomplishment, but blocking for two rushers who set the Super Bowl rushing record was something spectacular. It’s a real shame that offensive linemen are so overlooked when it comes to the HOF inductees.
