Redskins vs. Dischord

I love it when writers sneak in references, which 99% of the readers will never understand.

The guy who wrote this little piece about the Washington Redskins for Fox Sports obviously knows a thing or two about the legendary DC punk/hc label Dischord:

23. Redskins:
It’s no surprise that there’s some unrest among the Redskins fans. They put all their eggs in the Joe Gibbs basket, and the faith was not rewarded. I’m sure Daniel Snyder will try to solve the problem by throwing money at more free agents; it’s one of the NFL’s most predictable rites of spring. Which overrated wide receiver will the Redskins embrace this year? I shudder to think. Look at the make-up of this team, and you’ll realize that the Redskins will always be a minor threat unless they can build some depth. There’s really only one word to describe this franchise right now: fugazi.

For more on the topic I recommend “Dance of Days”, a great book about the DC football music scene.
