Hall-of-Famer John Riggins wants you to know the Redskins are awful

SHARE Hall-of-Famer John Riggins wants you to know the Redskins are awful

First, a full disclosure: I grew up in Virginia singing “Hail to the Redskins” and worshiping at the alter of Hall-of-Famer John Riggins as the team dominated all before them in the 1980s.

So I now know how fellow Pros(er) Kyle feels watching the Lions. Somewhere between sick to my stomach and just plain heartsick. It’s a bumbling team that at one time not long ago was the class of the NFL – OK, similarity with the Lions ends there – that’s become a conundrum of underperforming talent and a league laughingstock that winless teams look forward to on the schedule.

But I’m nowhere near as upset as Riggins, who currently is hosting a video series and lighting up Twitter with his ideas on why the Redskins have become one of the worst teams in the league. “Head” coach Jim Zorn (“he could be a good high school coach”) and General Manager Vinny Cerrado (“He should go on radio … be an analyst”) receive the brunt of the Diesel’s wrath.

And as if that weren’t enough, he’s also taking his assault on Daniel Snyder’s (the worst NFL owner ever?) heaping pile of steaming football team to “Inside the NFL” on Showtime reports Brad Biggs.

Keep on blasting away, Riggo, like you did back in the day:
