The policeman obliged. Kilmer got out of jail in time to lead the Redskins to the playoffs against San Francisco, and he won the hearts of fans when he told the waitress she could keep the $100 as a tip. (from The Washingtonian)

This is one of those memories that doesn't make Redskins Yearbook, but it is part of the great Redskins history.

It's been a fun ride and I hope we have great fun this year.

Do you have a fun memory to share?
I wonder what Goodell would have done to him!?

The George Allen spy games. I am only 22 and was not alive obviously, but that man got in their heads. Reading about it and watching it left me with a fuzzy happy feeling. "Any helicopter that came over, the coaches would look up like, damn, that's George Allen up there with a notebook,'' recalled Cowboys running back Walt Garrison.

How about Frerotte head-butting the wall after a TD, effectively ending his season because of the neck injury. And he was supposed to be one of the smart ones.

Re: Great Redskin memories, like Kilmer getting arrested...

One of my fondest Redskins memories from the pre-Gibbs era was seeing Dave Butz pull Tony Dorsett down at the line of scrimmage with one hand while lying on his back. Then, the next day, the Post ran this huge picture of the tackle and it showed that Butz had actually pulled Dorsett down with one finger jammed up in the sleeve of his jersey. I cut that picture out and had it hanging in my room for several years. I wish I could find that image again.
