Several weeks ago, The Redskins were in training camp. Sometimes, during training camp, the media is allowed in to watch. Sometimes, those media types bring cameras, which they use to capture moving images and sounds of the Redskins, which are then broadcast on TV. Sometimes, those images are of newly signed, 54 million dollar defensive back DeAngelo Hall doing pushups. Sometimes, apparently, those pushups are, for lack of a better term, not on par with what you'd expect from a 25 year old NFL athlete earning 54 million dollars.
It is then that the bet started. Fellow GRGGD contributer TJ was very upset and offended by those pushups. He went on to say that "MeAngelo Fall" is lazy and complacent, and that he will be a complete waste of the team's money and a liability on the field.
Me, being more of a "blind, total, and uncompromising faith in all things Redskins" kind of guy, disagreed. Maybe the cameras started rolling when he was on number 343. Pushups don't relate to pass coverage. That kind of thing.
So a bet was started. For one(1) beer (no need to get wild here), we would keep score of DeAngelo's successes and failures on the football field. There is no standardized scoring system, or anything crazy like that. Just some assigned points at the end of each game.
Let's just say, that after tonight's loss against the New York Football Giants, TJ is being very generous allowing the score to be only 3 - 1 in his favor. I guess when all of the plays one makes are terrible, it's difficult to judge what constitutes another point or not. Even DeAngelo's lone "good play" point; an interception returned for some nice yardage, only happened because he got burned by a rookie receiver and Laron Landry made an impressive play and tipped the ball up.
Here is hoping that DeAngelo can bounce back in week two(2), and put some points on the board for my side. Don't let me down, D Hall. TJ has very expensive taste in beer.
