Do ya remember the NY Titans playing there?

Yes. ABC used to broadcast Titans games to DC. And, incide ntally, Harry Wismer, the Titans founding owner, sold his 20% share of the Redskins for $200,000 to start the Titans. Sold to a Canadian millionaire named Jack Kent Cooke. How Cooke came to be majority partner witghout spending anything more, and how Marshall's sons lost control of the team, is a long an weird story.

Summary?

The Washington Redskins made a much larger profit than Marshall ever reported, because Marshall paid the profits to himself as a president's salary, and bought "offices", meaning luxury houses, in every NFL city. Edward Bennett Williams, Marshall's executor, bought back Marshall's shares with the team's profits while letting Cooke's ownership share grow and grow.

Williams hired Otto (Toot) Graham, Vince Lombardi, and then George Allen. They built Redskins Park, and made the Redskins a winner and a very lucrative business.

Poor Wismer didn't have enough money to make much of the Titans.

Just get one out. Just one.

Marquis also got two hits and knocked in 2. That plus 6.2 only yielding 2ER is a good day at the office.

If he was healthy they probably would

Luckily, he just started throwing again today and isn't ready to come back.

Of course, but it wasn't a great PITCHING outing. Are we gonna absolve him of all the runs he gave up now? 2 on hairston and he negated the other 2 with his bat?

Also, Dibble would orgasm on that knockdown pitch.

Huge out.

I bet Ray was smiling inside, too.

That was awesome...I don't know what you are talking about.
I hope that was intentional, but it probably wasn't.

Q: What do Ike & Tina and the Nationals have in common?

A: We never do anything nice and easy. It's always rough.

Bautista with 2 more HR's today.
Up to 15 already.

Bautista hit a 3rd homer today for 16!!!

ESPN's preseason prediction was that he couldn't repeat the 54 HR's of 2010, and that he'd only hit 39. I drafted him on my WNFF fantasy 18-team baseball squad anyway. He's on a pace to hit 64 HR's!

My team has 18 HR's this WEEK. I've been near the bottom of that category most of the season...

Williams hired Otto (Toot) Graham ....

Otto Graham was one of my favorites ... even at QB.
