About Rich »

I went to my first Redskins game in 1967 and I've been hooked on the NFL and the B&G ever since. I've written two books on the Skins and I have the longest-running Skins blog on the internet.

I've been covering the Redskins for Warpath Magazine at Redskins Park and at FedEx Field since 2001.

Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Sonny Jurgensen, Tiger Woods, Clinton Portis, Sean Taylor, John Riggins, Michael Jordan
Favorite Sports Teams

Washington Redskins, Virginia Tech Hokies, Washington Nationals
Favorite Coaches

Joe Gibbs, Vince Lombardi, Frank Beamer
All Time Sports Moment

John Riggins breaks a tackle and goes for a touchdown on fourth and one and the Redskins beat Miami in Super Bowl XVII
Most Memorable Game Attended

Super Bowl XVII in the Rose Bowl. Over 100,000 people there, and you could look every one of them right in the eye, an amazing sight. It was a tense, taught game throughout, one of the most underrated SB's every, and the Skins won.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

I think that Cal Ripken put the consecutive-games streak record out of reach. Someone will get lucky and break DiMaggio's 53-game hitting streak at some point.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth. The Say Hey Kid was one of the best ever, The Babe was THE best ever.
Unitas or Montana?

Johnny U. I like Montana, too, but when Unitas played the corners could bump all the way down the field, linemen could not hold and QB's were not a protected species.
Jordan or Russell?
Gretzky or Orr?
Pele or Maradona?

Who?
Federer or Sampras?
Tiger or Nicklaus?
Petty or Earnhardt?
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

ACC by geography and school affiliation, but the SEC has the best football year in and year out.

Did you watch the Packers - Bears game? I went back and studied the film to come up with some surprising observations, including the key play in the game that everyone has overlooked.

Comments are always appreciated.

I love The Sporting News. And I look forward to its top 100 players every year.

That doesn't mean I can't disagree though...
