Riggins Finds Calling, Rips 'Skins Again

I'm not sure how John Riggins would fill his days if not for the futility that Redskins football provided. He's carved out a nice little niche in a crowded DC-area media landscape.

Partly because he was an integral cog in those 'Skins teams that routinely made the playoffs in the early 1980s, but also because he's frank in his assessment of the current organization, not to mention his attention to details others might overlook. Like, say, production quality (and free-stylin').

There are no metaphorical wood piles this week, however. Nope, just Riggo on the radio diatribin' it up. Video after the jump:



"... Now with Sherm Lewis as your offensive play-caller -- and he's only been here for two weeks -- the idiocy of this whole move is just numbing. And the reason I say that is, okay, he's the play-caller, that's his responsibility. Who's he working for? He's not working for Jim Zorn. He's working for the owner and the general manager."

Yes, Riggo, but Sherm Lewis also has a black belt in bingo. Maybe that doesn't make the Redskins more competitive, but neither has most of the other personnel moves concocted by Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato. So in that regard, it makes perfect sense.
