Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?

remember how Dave Butz use to have his kid carry his helmet off the field? that was cool.

Darrell Green is a punk ass bitch. I love nostalgia, but he doesn't deserve all the praise he gets. Yeah, he's fast, yeah he caught Tony Dorsett, and he was a great football player. I was at a private car show in Manassas and saw him walking around with one of his boys. I walked up to him, and said..."Mr. Green, can you sign my hat?" and he said..."No Son, I don't do autographs." So, I said "ok, thanks anyway." Shook his hand, and started to walk away. Then this mentally and physically challenged boy carted up to him in his motorized wheel chair, and the boys Mother asked him, and he said "No, I don't want to be seen, and I don't do autographs."


Point is, is that he is fake as hell, and this youth charity he takes on is probably because of his guilt for so many times he did shit like that. I promise this story is true, and will swear on the bible. Not many people know him like that, so I just thought I'd like to say that because I'm just really tired of people being on his nuts.


Now, my favorite Redskin? I've been watching since 91, and I'd have to say Kurt Gouveia. He was a nasty linebacker. Reminded me of the old Steeler D. Close second would be Dex. Dex has more emotion than I think any of the old Redskins had, with exception to Donnie Warren. I also met him at a car show oddly enough. It was at the MCI center if I'm not mistaken. After a brief convo with Warren, he looks like he hates life for not playing for Gibbs anymore. I like those guys.

I've made mention several times of my less than stellar encounters with DG off the field, still I can't deny his impact on the field and what he meant to the success of this franchise. You take someone like Dana Stubblefield for example who as a person was always great to me and probably one of my favorite people to deal with, but as a player I can't consider him a favorite because really what did he do for the team on the field?

I knew Green a little growing up and he is a very private person. He made a choice in his career that he wanted a seperate life off the field. He's actually a very nice guy who would help anyone. I was there when one of my friends asked him for an autograph and he said the same thing, "I'm sorry, I don't do autograph's". Instead he gave us a couple of tips on coverage and told us he looked forward to seeing us play. Don't get down on a guy who made a choice for his family, every man has the right to deal with fame their own way.

Kurt Gouveia was an awesome player!!! He would also come give clinics and help out at my practices in high school.

Awesome memory, I remember that very well. It was the '88 Super Bowl I last recall he and his son were on the sidelines. In fact, I believe it was John Madden that kept referring to Butz' helmet when they had a camera on him during the game and Madden said that it looked like a "used car" it was so scratched up! Great player Butz was.
