Sunday night’s Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys game is big — the NFC East gets decided by the winner and the loser probably goes home. The Skins can still make the playoffs with a loss, but winning is much easier.
Here is look back at the rivalry over the years, as of about 2010:

My favorite holiday is a day away — Thanksgiving! Family, food, football fire in the fireplace — what’s not to love? Thanksgiving is why America wins, on points.

No Washington Redskins guest prognosticator this week since I don’t know any Dallas Cowboys fans (which some might find funny).
The Redskins have been solid so far, but I think they have been talking too much trash for this early in the season, especially since they have to go on the road. I think Tony [...]

I slam Minnesota for cultural misappropriation of Snowmageddon and post videos of Vikings meltdowns as revenge.

Washington Redskins hold on to beat Dallas Cowboys, 13-7, on final play – The Post
Clearly, it was the “gold” pants that won that game for the Washington Redskins. Had they been wearing the more appropriate white pants, DeAngelo Hall would not have scooped up that Dallas Cowboys fumble with the clock reading 0:00 in the [...]

I’m going to try and post my uninformed predictions for the Washington Redskins here every week.

Moving on, I think Donovan [...]

Through a Dallas Cowboys blog, Dan Steinberg has determined that the Washington Redskins will be wearing their burgundy jerseys at home for the 2010 entire regular season. While I prefer the traditional white jersey, burgundy pants combo, the burgundy at home [...]

Rich Tandler has a great piece of QB Babe Laufenberg, the perennial preseason darling for the Redskins in the mid-1980s. Every year, he’d have an exciting preseason and then get cut. He bounced around the sport for several years after his Redskins glory days, before ending his career as a Cowboy in Troy Aikman’s second [...]

The NFL ignored the social contract when it sold rights to NFC games to Fox, ending 38 years of CBS coverage. This was the last few minutes of the final telecast.

Well done, even with the cheesy syth music. Terry Bradshaw was restrained back the and not acting like a buffoon every second he was on [...]

Dan Steinberg had a great DC Sports Bog post the other day about Chief Zee and the late Crazy Ray. These “opposite numbers” in the Redskins vs. Cowboys rivalry were unofficial mascots for many years and clearly they had a good time with each other. Crazy Ray died this past March and Chief Zee was [...]
