What the hell is he talking about with the Burgundy and Gold Diapers?

He means the jerseys.

[Diomedes]

I tried to listen to that but it was so stupid I just couldn't.

It's bad enough I'm captivated by possibly the dumbest sport on earth, I'll be damned if I'm giving any of my attention to yokels like these.

[reese125]

Not even that, you know how gay it sounds when a grown man says, "How dare you..." when angry? Pretty farging gay.

A yearly ritual: taterskins embarrass themselves in primetime

WASHINGTON -- The Washington taterskins sure know how to embarrass themselves in primetime.

Take the Monday night game two years ago, when many thousands of Pittsburgh Steelers fans waving Terrible Towels ruled the roost in the lower bowl of FedEx Field to root their team to a 23-6 victory. taterskins owner Dan Snyder was so humiliated that he ordered 50,000 "taterskins Rally Rags" to be distributed at the next home game in an effort to restore the home-field advantage.

Or last year, when soon-to-be-fired coach Jim Zorn tried one of the silliest Monday night plays ever, the high school fake-field goal play known as the "swinging gate" or "picket fence" or "wash bucket." It had a new name -- "failure" -- after the New York Giants intercepted the trick pass on the way to a 45-12 rout.

The taterskins might have topped them all this week. Their return to the Monday night spotlight turned in a 59-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, a game that was 35-0 early in the second quarter and sent booing fans home by halftime. It spoiled the news, announced a few hours before kickoff, that Donovan McNabb had signed a contract extension, and an ugly pregame skirmish only served to fire up the Eagles even more.

The taterskins shut their doors to the media Tuesday -- coach Mike Shanahan didn't even hold the customary day-after news conference -- but players found ways to vent their dismay on Twitter and on their weekly radio appearances.

"Last night was horrendous," tweeted receiver Anthony Armstrong.

"I'm repulsed by the way we played," tight end Chris Cooley said on 106.7 The Fan.

And on and on.

Shanahan said after the game that his team was "outplayed and outcoached in every area." He blamed himself for not having his players better prepared.

Players pointed out that the loss doesn't totally derail their playoff hopes. The taterskins (4-5) are two games behind the Eagles and the New York Giants in the NFC East, and they have two games against the Giants. What was left unsaid was whether the team has used up the supply of good fortune that helped it win four close games in September and October despite glaring deficiencies on both sides of the ball.

The defense is again last in the NFL in yards allowed at 415.3 per game. The bend-but-don't-break philosophy is starting to falter, with the taterskins 26th in points allowed at 25.4 per game. The struggles continue for an offensive line that has allowed 25 sacks and for a thin receiving corps, with wideouts accounting for only seven catches Monday night. Washington has converted 22 percent of third downs this season, by far the worst percentage in the NFL.

McNabb tied a career-high with three interceptions, and even his five-year, $78 million contract turns out not to be as ironclad as initially thought. His agent, Fletcher Smith, confirmed Tuesday that the taterskins could cut McNabb at the end of the season after having paid only $3.5 million of the new deal with no obligation to pay anything more.

As ugly as the score was, the words exchanged over the behavior of taterskins safety LaRon Landry were even uglier. The Eagles accused the player known as "Dirty 30" for stoking the pregame confrontation by making inappropriate trash-talk at Philadelphia receiver DeSean Jackson, who recently returned from a concussion.

"Everyone talks trash, but there are just certain things you say and don't say," Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin said. "Life-changing incidents are things you just don't talk about, and he was just running his mouth a little bit too much."

Philadelphia center Mike McGlynn also said he was spit at by Landry twice during the game on extra points.

"He's a dirty player. We know that," Eagles receiver Jason Avant said.

Landry denied the spitting allegation and said his pregame talk with Jackson was nothing more than routine banter. He also defended himself on Twitter.

"To everyone who's truly taterskin fan/fan of mine... Knows I never been a dirty player/never will!" Landry tweeted. "Supposedly I spit on the center if there's any truth to that I would have been flagged or the guy would have some sort of reaction! I just play hard and do anything to help the team win... As for as D. Jack that's my guy been home boys for awhile so to y'all who wanna read blogs/the Internet find out the truth to stories/not a writer trying to stir confusion!"

With this new set of distractions in place, the taterskins must now regroup quickly for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

"Can we continue to build? Can we get better? What is our real character? What's the character?" Cooley said. "If we have guys that care, we'll go to work tomorrow. You have to put it past you."

Pointing. Laughing.

There is literally nothing better than this.

Alright, a SB win, but other than that absolutely nothing beats the week following an embarrassing of the taterskins. So good.

[Eagaholic]

If I'm remembering the McNabb deal - a 3rd or 4th rounder as compensation depending on how 5 and the team does - there's an odd quirk.

If washington won the SB or if they went 0-16, the compensation would be pretty much the same, last pick of 3rd or top of 4th.

Now it's looking like a top 10 pick of the 4th. Maybe Howie can turn it into two 5th round LB prospects for the first LBs of their draft.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

The rival taterskins agreed to trade their 2nd-round pick in this year's Draft to the Eagles for veteran quarterback Donovan McNabb back in April. The deal also included a conditional 2011 Draft selection for the Birds, either a 3rd- or 4th-rounder depending on a variety of factors dealing with Washington's success this season. But with the 'Skins recently announcing a trade with the Saints for offensive tackle Jammal Brown and promising either a 3rd- or 4th-round pick in 2011 in return, the future compensation for the Eagles has been altered; though the changes are very slight, they should definitely be noted, as New Orleans is now infused into the Draft pick cluster because of their moves.

The deciding factors for determining whether the Eagles get a 3rd or 4th are still in play: if the taterskins win at least nine games, go to the playoffs, or McNabb (pictured) is voted into the Pro-Bowl in 2010, Philly will receive a 3rd; the Saints would then be given Washington's 4th-round selection. If that isn't the case, the Draft picks will simply be switched (New Orleans will receive the 3rd and Philadelphia will be given the 4th-rounder). There are also now a few other picks on the line because of the Saints' involvement, though the Eagles cannot benefit nor suffer because of what happens with it; if it is indeed New Orleans that winds up with the 3rd, then they will be required to ship a 5th-round pick back to D.C., whereas if the Saints receive the 4th, they must deal a 6th- or 7th-rounder to the taterskins. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, there is also a conditional 2012 pick involved, which would be based off of Jammal Brown's 2010 performance in burgundy and gold.
