At OTR, we usually congratulate ourselves for doing a great job. It happens a lot. We aren’t in the business of congratulating others unless, 1. we somehow benefit, or 2. they did something like threaten their family with a golf club or shove their girlfriend down a flight of stairs. But today, we are willing [...]
Word is surfacing from multiple media outlets that the Philadelphia Eagles today asked a fan to remove his #5 Donovan McNabb Washington Redskins jersey. And it’s true, that did happen. But all the reactions on Facebook and Twitter calling the Eagles classless and – essentially – Nazi’s are inaccurate. Yes, the team asked him to [...]
You know that you are officially part of your new team when your teammates start breaking your balls and pranking you. We don’t mean in the Albert Connell “Hey Duece McAllister isn’t it hilarious that I stole money from your wallet” type of prank. But, more in the good-natured way. Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley [...]
The Washington Redskins recently traded for QB John Beck from the Baltimore Ravens. That gave the Ravens some breathing room in terms of their QB depth chart, but now the Redskins have the problem of too many QB’s. Not for long. ESPN 980 radio in Washington D.C. reports that the Redskins has cut former University [...]
Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb was on the Kind David Show on WQYK 1010 AM recently, and he was talking about Super Bowl wins and how quarterbacks are judged by them. While he said he strives to win the big one, he doesn’t believe that it should define how good of a player he was [...]
It’s pretty funny that there is all this hype about Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson making comments about Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb. Sure, the media likes to stoke the flames, but there is another quote from DeSean that should be getting the attention. Specifically, in the Sporting News article that everyone is talking about, [...]
The Oakland Raiders will send a 2012 fourth-round pick to the Washington Redskins in exchange for QB Jason Campbell.

ESPN.com cited multiple sources yesterday saying Washington Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb has encouraged the team’s coaching staff to consider free-agent wide receiver Terrell Owens. Now look really close to that article. What do you see? Do you see a name of a person who seems to consistently get news wrong? Do you see a name [...]
We admit that we don’t really care too much about the NFL schedule coming out. Everyone makes a big deal about it and speculates about how many wins a team will have or who will win this matchup in December or whatever. The truth is, a lot changes between now and these games and you [...]
During all the reports and rumors of the Donovan McNabb trade, a couple Washington Redskins’ players’ names popped up. One was Albert Haynesworth, but safety LaRon Landry’s name also bubbled to the surface. Landry says that all that talk didn’t bother him and that everything is fine now. “During that time, as far as a [...]
New Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb would have retired if he was traded to the Oakland Raiders according to several recent reports. Well, McNabb came out today and said that’s not true. And OTR spoke to separate source who said that McNabb is telling the truth and there is no way he would have retired. [...]
The Washington Redskins seem to be revamping their clubhouse in a very positive way and it all started with bringing coach Mike Shanahan on board and then trading for Donovan McNabb last Sunday. Now it’s time to get rid of the fat and what better place to start then defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth? Per NFL.com’s [...]
Well, the good news for Donovan McNabb is that the Washington Redskins already seem to realize how important it is to protect him. GM Bruce Allen went on Sirius Satellite radio Tuesday and said that the team has already reached out to former Dallas Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams. Adams is getting up there in [...]
Lost in all of the discussion about Donovan McNabb being traded to the Washington Redskins is the exact compensation the Eagles will receive. The Eagles get their second-round pick this year (#37) and next year’s fourth rounder that could become a third. Ok, so what’s it going to take to make that happen? Well, as [...]
We decided to collect some of the comments from Philadelphia Eagles fans who are so smart that they believe Donovan McNabb hurt the team and they will be better off without him. This is why we contend that so many Philly fans are abject morons. There is a large faction of people out there who [...]
The St. Louis Rams have announced that they have severed ties with QB Marc Bulger. Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that there was interest from the Washington Redskins and that kept the Rams’ hope of finding a trading partner alive. Now that the Redskins have Donovan McNabb, however, we think it’s safe to say that [...]
The Washington Redskins tweeted this morning that new QB Donovan McNabb (still weird to type) will get to wear his number five jersey. Former University of Hawaii QB Colt Brennan had been wearing the number, but he agreed to let an actual good player wear it. Brennan wore #15 in college, but picked the number [...]
In wake of Easter Sunday’s Donovan McNabb trade involving the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles, an interesting thought comes to OTR’s mind (thanks to Bill). With the lack of playmakers on the Redskins’ offense, will Washington owner Daniel Snyder reunite Donovan McNabb with Terrell Owens? After an un-T. O. esque year with the Buffalo Bills last season, Owens [...]
CSN’s Derrick Gunn made an interesting post on Facebook regarding the reaction of the Philadelphia Eagles’ players to the trading of Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. He did some poking around to see if they think this was a good move. He writes that he “has talked to at least 12 players by way [...]
Adam Caplan of Scout.com was just quoted on television as saying that the Washington Redskins offered up DT Albert Haynesworth in the trade talks for QB Donovan McNabb. Caplan was told about this from two different league sources, and they said that the Eagles just said “no.” Hmmmmm….this might say a lot about what the [...]
So, how did the Washington Redskins tell their current quarterback Jason Campbell about the Donovan McNabb trade? Did they write a nice letter? Email? Maybe they sent him a fax on official Redskins letterhead. Surely, they called him to tell him what was going on out of respect for the fact that the guy has [...]
While the actual press conference welcoming Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins won’t happen until Monday, the ‘Skins did release a comment from new head coach Mike Shanahan. Shanahan will be Donovan’s second head coach in 11 years. “Donovan is an accomplished quarterback who has been a proven winner in the National Football League,” Shanahan [...]
Washington Redskins new QB Donovan McNabb (boy is that weird to type) spoke to the Washington Post’s Michael Wilbon by phone this evening. The Post said that they’ll have some more quotes and a column from Wilbon shortly, but until then they posted a couple of quotes. According to Jason Reid, McNabb is “absolutely looking [...]
The Donovan McNabb era in Philadelphia is officially over. For those that think Pro Bowl QB’s grow on trees and pretty much anyone can step in and do a better job than Donovan, you got your wish. For those that think Donovan gives you the best chance to win right now and appreciate all of [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles have reached an agreement to trade Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins, according to multiple sources close to the situation. The Eagles receive the Redskins’ second-round pick in 2010 (#37 overall) and a fourth-round pick in 2011 that can jump to a third rounder. The fact that McNabb was [...]
