Dan Fields of Save It For The Show joins for Papa’s Basement’s 400th episode where we discuss the Redskins losing their trademark, pretending to like the World Cup to sound more cultured than we are and the futility in trying to grow and keep a podcast audience (except for mine, […]
THOUGHTS FROM THE GAME RGIII is Amazing–Really going out on a limb with this one. Before the season began, I figured it would be a story of how the Redskins mortgaged their future for a quarterback who revealed himself to be, at best, a slow learner of the NFL’s ways. […]
