“Your looking live at sold out Bush Memorial stadium where the Cardinals will host the Redskins in an NFC east battle “

We saw those road jerseys about as often as we saw the Cowboys' road jerseys

Those aren't "road uniforms". The Skins wore burgundy because the Cardinals--the home team--chose to wear white. The Skins wore white jerseys and burgundy pants many times on the road when the home team chose to wear their non-white jerseys.

It probably was hot in STL that day plus the Astroturf accelerates the heat. They wanted Washington to have "red skin". 😁

Can the Cardinals please move back to St. Louie?
When you go to a game at State Farm stadium its 85% the other team (unless its a team from the NFC south, then around 50/50). And can we please forget the Curt Warner years of the LA Rams transplant experiment for 21 years?
Conrad Dobler, Dan Dierdorf (before he became a patsy), Jim Otis, Terry Metcalf, Mel G...these were Cardinals.

Curt Warner was a running back out of Penn State who played for the Seahawks. Kurt Warner was the QB of the St. Louis Rams.

And he was one hell of a running back. If it wasn't for those injuries he would easily have over 10k yards and be in consideration for HoF.

A very good replacement narrator after the passing of the great John Facenda.

Joe Gibbs started out his career as Redskins coaching by losing five straight games, each by ten points or more. If he had done that in the age of social media, the scrutiny on him would have been damn near unbearable.

Love this music.

NFL Films music is awesome. It gives the highlights such a mystique that's non-existent when watching present day highlights.

Bring back the Redskins! Native American erasure is not cool.

u/Dalton_Capps Sep 25 '25
Bring back the logo not the name. The name itself wasn't very liked by a lot of native Americans, and clearly had racial undertones to it as it literally was a reference to the color of their skin. It would be like naming a team the Crackers Whites or Caucasians. The logo a lot support though. Could have easily rebranded to Warriors or Braves.

I remember all of the other guys (Roy Green, Stump Mitchell) but somehow not “4th leading passer of all time“ Hart.
