How about the weird season that Riggo took off, and he was camped out in a tent along the Potomac?

This article has some CLASSIC material. Enjoy.

I would say almost all of Riggo's career was a great Redskins memory.

GREAT article. Here's one snippet that might entice others to read it:

During one team meeting, the players heard a strange noise from inside the locker room, like the sound you hear when it just starts to pour rain. They glanced in the back and there was a groggy Riggins, lying on his back, his pants pulled down, peeing straight into the air all over himself. Gibbs and the poor coaching staff always looked the other way with Riggo, as long as he was coherent on Sundays, but this seemed a little much ... and yet the coaching staff never did anything. "They always looked the other way with him," said May. "It just wasn't Gibbs's nature to constantly battle with a player like that."

Can you imagine what the press and the fans would say if Clinton Portis was on his back in the locker room and so drunk that he was pissing all over himself?

Kilmer is still remembered for the night in 1971 he got arrested in an Arlington coffee shop. As the story went, Kilmer tried to pay for a cup of coffee with a $100 bill. As he argued with the waitress, a policeman showed up. Kilmer, who hadn’t been drinking just coffee all night, told the policeman, “If you think I’m wrong, put me in jail.”

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. :food-smil "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.

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.
