[MTree]

http://twitter.com/Russellmania09


Heading to Golds in the Burg now!! Chasing Westbrook and another possible big name move as we speak. SHow tonight at 10 PM on

Any ideas who the big name might be?

[JPCreativelab]

O.J. Atogwe?

[chow184]

jamaal brown or atogwe?

[jsharrin55]

Probably an AH comment that won't come true...again...

[JetSkins]

AH to Vikings....

[TD_washingtonredskins]

It's really kind of dickish (sorry for that awkward word) for these guys to post things like that. Either break news or don't. Don't just drop a statement trying to show that you're in the know if you have no intention of actually giving out the information.

[goflyhelo]

I hope it's Westbrook signing.

[MarkRascadizzle]

Bruce Smith?

[The Tris]

Tune in at 10 PM for more vague references to personnel moves that may or may not occur.

[mossomo]

Terrell Owens?

[NoleSkin21]

Shawn Andrews or Flozell Adams?

[authentic]

Dana Stubblefield..

[KingGibbs]

I get so giddy when we get teased like this.

[NoleSkin21]

i get so giddy when we get teased like this.

lmao!! Funny stuff. Westbrook is visiting the Broncos today, I bet he signs since BDawk is there.

[MarkRascadizzle]

Jaromír Jágr?

[c4man5282]

I hope it's Westbrook signing.

Oh dr...here we go again...

[talk show host]

another possible big name move? hmmm. let me think for 1/10th of a second.

we're in the process of revamping our front office. doug williams just left tampa. doug williams used to be a super-bowl winning redskins qb. bruce allen loves doug williams. there's been chatter for months that doug williams would be coming here.

its not rocket science people.

[MattFancy]

Is this like when JLC said to expect a big move...I'm still waiting...

[mossomo]

jamaal brown or atogwe?

The jury is out on Brown as he had hip surgery and a sports hernia last year and sat the season out.

Atogwe I am 100% on board with (we need a play maker and ball hawk on D).

[Destructis]

Doug Williams is my guess, it didn't say it was a player.

[santana_4_prez]

Chris Russel has been stirring the pot about AH all along...he's either on to something, or needs to get a life.

That's my issue with this.

Either don't mention it or say what you're working on...he has no ties to the team, so what's the problem with just mentioning the rumored move he's tracking?

this would be my guess too but you never know. I would bet theres a better chance that he is still trying to talk about Haynesworth and make up something that has to do with that.

Either don't mention it or say what you're working on...he has no ties to the team, so what's the problem with just mentioning the rumored move he's tracking?

Yeah, his tweets have been getting on my nerves. Out of the blue he'll say something random like:


From an #NFL (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23NFL) source ..The #Redskins (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23Redskins) are doing 'everything they can' to make a trade for Haynesworth happen, no matter what they say publicly 12:05 PM May 10th (http://twitter.com/Russellmania09/status/13736870657) via web

He doesn't want to mention it b/c he doesn't actually know anything. And he probably says it just so people will listen to his show at 10pm.

It could be a sensitive source at the moment. It could also just be that nothing is finalized so he doesn't want to say "Redskins interested in Player X" because then if it falls through people think he's full of crap even if his rumor was true. However in that case he should just keep his mouth shut entirely.

He's just trying to be the first to mention a rumor in an attempt to gain credibility/publicity. If this develops into an actual story some readers will remember that this guy mentioned it first. Then they will visit his twitter or read his articles or whatever more often hoping to get the next bit of info early. He's just doing his job and trying to get readers.

[texasthunder]

LeBron James will be signed as an unrestricted free agent.
He is expected to see action in the wide reciever role.

How about this:

TD_WR is tracking a potential big move. I'll let you know if/when I can elaborate.

[Madison Redskin]

How many people here hate it when the media speculates or reports rumors, but read PFT and check out the "rumor" threads on ES religiously?

I am one of those people...the difference is I want someone to actually speculate on a rumor.

There's a difference between:

a) I'm hearing that the Redskins might trade Albert Haynesworth and
b) I'm hearing something but I won't give any details.

I'd prefer to not hear B until the guy can say A.

[THEREALTOR1]

I guess that means he's gonna check back in on ES around 9:45 and read thru the top 5 active threads in the Stadium at that time

Chris Russell is hitting the gym hard after being inspired by mike williams last year... trying to loose 100 lbs to get down to 400 and play guard.. not really a big name tho

Ali Haji-Sheikh brother.

Steve "Slate" Slaton ;)

[Mr. Sinister]

I'm seeing a lot of "OJ Atogwe is a playmaker" posts, and I don't understand it. He's played on a ****ty team for the majority of his career, and has been routinely beat in coverage during the games that I've seen him play him in, not to mention the highlight reel of him being godsmacked by Ladanian Tomlinson. I'm sorry but I do not think we need him on this team. It kind of reminds me of when Dre' Bly was a FA and all of a sudden, he was a shutdown corner, when he was getting routinely smoked in STL, and failed in Denver.

[RabidFan]

I wish twitter would just go away.

and Facebook but people love creating their own files to save the FBI time. LOL :)

[Coral]

My guess, Clinton Portis traded.

I like this guess and I think if there's a "big name" on the move, you're right.

I hope you're wrong though.

[Yeen80]

Frank Robinson?

I haven't seen him get beat all that much, but if he has, you gave part of the reason right there--"****ty team for the majority of his career." Most safeties who play on horrible teams get beat more often. When the entire defense in front of you is getting torn up and burned nearly every week, you're gonna be getting a lot of one-on-ones and bad angles coming your way. No one's saying he's a perennial Pro Bowler, but he's been consistently solid over the last 4 seasons, he's not old, doesn't have an injury history, and is good for a few picks a year. I don't see any reason we SHOULDN'T go after him. Someone doesn't have to be an All Pro for them to be worth going after. Now if a bidding war gets going for him, forget it. But otherwise, adding Atogwe would give us a sick nasty group of safeties.

[redskin301]

I think it's T.Old

[brianm23]

Probably the best post I've read in quite some time.

[fdarugar]

There are a lot of great things about twitter. You get to choose who you follow, so I don't see what the big deal is? If you don't like somebody's tweets, you don't have to follow them.

[SKINSFAN87]

Trading AH to the vikings for Jared Allen?

Tell that to Arch Deluxe, who " made plays" while he was there i STL, then we paid him handsomely, only to see him providing gatorade to the players on the bench. There are countless other times when a DB had a " great" season as far as stats go, get paid, then tank it, it's a problem we don't need to deal with IMO.

You are gunna compare Archuleta to Atogwe just beacause they were on the same team?

Two different situations man. I'm not saying overpay for Atogwe because he is Ed Reed Jr. but the guy would be an upgrade.

[VRIEL1]

its Doug Williams.

I too think it's DW. I'm not sure if it was to save face or what but DW's interview made it sound like DW requested to be let go so he could move on to other opportunities.

Either he got canned and is trying to save face or he reconsidered the Redskins gig or another offer was brought to his attention. I'm betting he's coming to the Skins.

Otherwise maybe it is T.O. LOL. He wasn't in their plans a couple of weeks ago cause they wanted a second look at what we had. Maybe after the last camp they reconsidered.

[alwaysaskin]

I think it's T.Old

T.O. and Portis dueling pressers. Who throws their team mates under the bus more this season?

[illone]

Chris Russell,

Thank you for nothing!

[Redskinzfan30]

Trading AH to the vikings for Jared Allen?

If we are going to a 3-4 then Allen wouldn't fit our plans.

[CPortJGibbs89]

I would like to get that dude from the rams Otogwe if thats how you spell it??

[praise_gibbs]

We will trade McNabb for that guy from Oakland... Campb... ok I won't go there lol

I have my doubts that anything big will come of this 'news'.

[Santana_Fan]

Oshiomogho Atogwe

Alot of stlouis fans have claimed he is their best player behind steven jackson. I remember before playing the rams the past 2 years st louis fans laughed at the notion by redskins that landry was better then otogwe when breaking down roster strengths.

[Vooskin]

http://www.nfl.com/players/oshiomoghoatogwe/profile?id=ATO237308

His last 4 years in the league disregarding his rookie year where he didnt start a game he has 18 interceptions and 14 forced fumbles.

http://www.nfl.com/players/laronlandry/profile?id=LAN165690

Landry in his first 3 years has 3 interceptions and 4 forced fumbles. You can actually make it 5 ints if you count the playoff game against the seahawks but atogwe as far as I know has never sniffed the playoffs.

I will say this. Those stats can be skewed when you look at the varying levels of competition to to division strengths of the NFC east and NFC west.

Arch fell off because he had a back injury that he never recovered from. We also had somewhat egotistical coaches that thought they could mask his coverage deficiencies. It was never an issue of him getting paid and mailing it in. Back injuries can be tough.

They've gotten me twice this offseason with that 'Big News' Bull****.

First, they said we'd definitely sign a huge FA, either Peppers or LT.

Then, they said we'd definitely make a huge draft day trade, involving either us picking Berry or trading down in a megadeal and acquiring more picks.

None of those happened. And neither will this.

Unless if, by big name, Chris Russell means we're signing someone named Geronimo McGiantville. Or maybe Biggie Gargantuan. Neither are real people, as far as I know.

I utterly despise the media around here. Everyone is trying to bring something new to the table with their blog or twitter page when its all the same old recycled garbage and anti-skins banter that is fast becoming the exact opposite of what fans want to hear.

[Justsomeguy]

What a complete waste of time.... Very annoyed with that hack.
Maybe he was skimming ES threads again

[Farbod21]

Hmmm Russel took offense to something someone said

@Russellmania09 What horsecrap, another hack saying he is working on a "big" story and then has nothing to show for it...Thanks for nothing

@Farbod_21 "Chasing Westbrook and another possible big name move as we speak" ..What part of that is Horse***t and a hack job by me?

Thats me... I cant stand these ****ing bull**** wanna be reporters anymore... Half my twitter page is just me attacking reporters haha...

[kiingspadee]

@Russellmania09 thigs in common. maybe you 2 can keep throwing out rumors together and maybe get at least SOMETHING right once

@Russellmania09 this was close to being as bad as JLC saying that there would be a big move before draft...which didnt happen - you 2 have

[Jethrodsp]

@everyone I ******* hate ****ter. Can we have one mega-****ter thread?
About right now via my ass in reply to every attention-starved schmuck on the web

[Spartacus87]

Chris Russell strikes again.

He is really a complete nobody. "Hack" might be too good of a term for him. He's just a beat reporter for a radio station that markets itself with a clear agenda, and he consistently looks to fill it with his "reports."

The worst is when he tries to talk X's and O's. It's almost as if his version of football is played on an electric board.

[McD5]

Where's jsteelz when you need him?

He retired about three weeks ago.

[hoskins]

8 pages about a hack who pulls teases out of his ass. Seriously?

Don't feed the hacks.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Thats me... I cant stand these ****ing bull**** wanna be reporters anymore... Half my twitter page is just me attacking reporters haha...

I'm in my car a lot listening to the radio so I've shot some texts to 106.7 the Fail a few times letting them know how absolutely full of **** they are and how much they suck. They've responded on air a few times.

Rock from the Kevin and Rock show is pretty cool though. He'll actually text back and, no lie, he's told me that he knows that most of the people at the station just pull **** out of their asses.

Not sure if I should throw in that last part. I know they read this board and I don't want to get dude in trouble. But whatever.

[Coral]

];7527110']They've gotten me twice this offseason with that 'Big News' Bull****.

First, they said we'd definitely sign a huge FA, either Peppers or LT.

Then, they said we'd definitely make a huge draft day trade, involving either us picking Berry or trading down in a megadeal and acquiring more picks.

None of those happened. And neither will this.

Unless if, by big name, Chris Russell means we're signing someone named Geronimo McGiantville. Or maybe Biggie Gargantuan. Neither are real people, as far as I know.

Stop giving him ideas :doh:

[aREDSKIN]

Here's another possibility. I said POSSIBILITY.




According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Shawne Merriman's decision to change agents could hasten a trade of the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker.

The report said Merriman's dismissal of Tom Condon and pending agreement with David Dunn came after three draft-weekend trades fell through in large part because of Condon's high demands for a long-term contract for Merriman.

Merriman is a restricted free agent who was given the highest tender by the Chargers, who have no plans to give him a long-term deal. The Saints and two other teams tried to acquire him last month during the draft, according to the report. Although a deal was discussed past the preliminary stages in all three cases, the talks fell apart because terms could not be reached on a long-term deal. The Chargers were asking for a first-round pick in return.

Absolutely not.

If we were in the market for an OLB, we would've gone for Peppers, Porter, Burgess or Adalius Thomas -- the latter two of which are still on the market -- and we wouldn't have had to give up anything.

@Russellmania09 "Tune in at 10 PM for more vague references to personnel moves that may or may not occur."

I see what your saying and you could be right on..but whos to say this new FO isnt looking to trade a player or two because we do want him/them off the books..JMHO

I'd understand if it were a player for player swap, and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't mind that if it meant getting a guy that could help our team (transition to the 3-4).

My objection comes at what I bolded in my quoting of the original article, that the Chargers wanted a FIRST ROUNDER(!!!!!) in exchange for Merriman.

For a guy who has been in two controversies (PEDs, Tila Tequila), banged up and turned in nothing but lackluster years after he led the league in sacks a few years ago, anything more than a 3rd rounder, in terms of draft compensation, for Merriman would make any team balk.

I agree...I would not give up a first rounder either...but I could see a trade ...a player we want to get rid of (makes too much money, want to unload contract) for a player we see fitting within our team...JMHO

[SlobberKnockinFootball]

So what exactly did he say last night at 10pm? What was his lead he was following? The tweet's are confusing in this thread.

@Adam_Schefter any comment on the 2nd part? RT @Russellmania09: Chasing Westbrook and another possible big name move as we speak.

I love that Schefter called him out with this tweet.

[SKOALSKIN]

106.7 is the worst collection of sports minds in the history of radio. The junkies continue their slide with hours of meaningless banter. Mike Wise loves to "stir the pot" with his commentary. And then we get the rest of the Special Ed class with lavar and dukes. Dukes is essentially nutered by LaVar (who holds the ultimate trump card). Finally we have Holden Kutchner and these other ass clowns.
I'm all for opinionated sports radio, provided they have expertise in the subject matter. These guys are a bunch of no talent hacks, that some how found a nitch and are never going to leave.
I found WTOP to be a much better option in the AM. I'd rather listen to traffic reports, then hear EB from the junks ramble on about how "Ovechkin is the 4th best player in the league" or how "Lebron is overrated."

[Fat Stupid Loser]

Jaromír Jágr?


At least he knows how to score.

[Nighthawk]

Chris Russell is to journalism what Jamarcus Russell is to NFL quarterbacks.

They weigh about the same as well.

[diehardskin8229]

funny thing is nobody heard his show to find out what he was talking about...

jamaal brown or atogwe?

please be Jamaal Brown. He can play RT if needed, or kick Silverback over to RT until he gets the system down then switch him to LT.


This team still needs linemen on both sides and linebackers before it starts filling in holes in other areas.

[China]

I wish twitter would just go away.

how is it you think there is still big news, the day after he was supposed to reveal the big news. he made it up to get people to tune in to his show. nothing to see here.

[Chicken Fried]

Chase Daniel?

[UK SKINS FAN '74]

another possible big name move? hmmm. let me think for 1/10th of a second.

we're in the process of revamping our front office. doug williams just left tampa. doug williams used to be a super-bowl winning redskins qb. bruce allen loves doug williams. there's been chatter for months that doug williams would be coming here.

its not rocket science people.

Yep, its not rocket science at all.

anything come of this

[RAAZ227]

CR and 106.7 the fan is a JOKE!

[ConnSKINS26]

So he didn't even have anything lame on his show that he could at least pretend was big news?? Wow, that's stupid.

[ChiefPowhatan17]

Was it Haynesworth for Sage Rosenfels????? That would suck.

[redskindan07]

Russel sucks, he's almost as bad as JLC

[gortiz]

i know i am highjacking this thread but can anyone remember a thread with so many bad jokes?

you guys need to come up with some funnier stuff man ...

anyway, saying the redskins are going to make a big move soon is no different than saying UConn woman's b-ball team will probably win their next game ...

[Califan007]

anything come of this

You know...reading this, and then seeing your sig immediately afterwards, gives all kinds of unsavory connotations lol :D...

[SKINSFAN87]

Harry Potter and the gang? Really, anyone can post a comment with the words "big move coming". If you are going to say anything that relates to it than you better say what the move is going to be, otherwise ridiculous.

[RandyHolt]

I think we are more likely to see a possible no name move

And i have an announcement. Which is I may be making more announcements in the future.

[Area51]

Chris Russel…I’ve never heard of the guy (and I’m sure most 'Skins fans don’t).

Redskins + "big name" = Something that is very feasible to happen at ANYTIME.

(little known journalist/talk show host/whatever he is) + ("Redskins Big Name Move") = Guarantee of having many more tune in to hear his b.s.

Jason LaCanfora was the Washington Post’s Redskins "Outsider" for the last 2-3 years during his time there, yet he was able to maintain his job (and even advance his career in sports journalism…currently being an eyesore on NFL Network…talk about face for radio….but I digress…).

Bottom line: All you have to do is write bull**** articles / blogs about the Snyder-Owned, universally hated Redskins, cite some random, 'unnamed sources’ to back your b.s. up, and NFL Network hires you.

[BTW, before anyone tries to defend LaCanfora and his 'unnamed sources,' the fact that he was the only person 'reporting' that there was NO WAY that the redskins would be able to sign Haynesworth & stay under the cap (only to look like the biggest idiot), then turn around the next year, and make such a definitive statement on the NFL Network that AH WILL BE TRADED on draft day (making him look like a total dumbass by that point), discredits all his bull****, & his supposed 'unnamed sources']

[Spartacus87]

Thats me... I cant stand these ****ing bull**** wanna be reporters anymore... Half my twitter page is just me attacking reporters haha... You talk to John Keim a lot on Twitter too right? Keim's the man. The anti-Chris Russell.

I barely ever check my Twitter but after I commented on the actual Haynesworth article Russell put up on the 106.7 website, I sent him a short comment on Twitter about it and he responded:

Russellmania09 (http://twitter.com/Russellmania09) @seminoleskins87 (http://twitter.com/seminoleskins87) Thanks for your very kind words about my column. http://shar.es/mhuyZ Trying to figure out what part is shady?
I guess it's good that he tries to address his critics. It's too bad he doesn't have anything of substance to offer a rebuttal with though.

And this year at the Draft, he was reporting that the Skins would go with Berry, all while Trent Williams is receiving a phone call from Mike Shanahan. It's comical.

I hope we can get him. I would think we'd have the advantage since he's worked with Haslett.
