Washington Redskins: One Player on Each Team Redskins Fans Hate to See

When you're one of the oldest franchises in the NFL, you're bound to make a few enemies.  The Washington Redskins are no exception to this rule. 

Since 1937, the 'Skins have been lining up across from players who either threaten with near-unbeatable skill sets or malign with awful personalities and inflated egos. 

Whether we're talking about the 'Skins' rivalries with the Giants, Cowboys and Eagles or an out-of-division game that happens once in a blue moon, there is always at least one player on every team that Redskins nation boos collectively.

Here is a list of one player on every NFL team that the Redskins hate to see.

Shawn Merriman, Buffalo Bills

Shawn Merriman has made a name for himself during his seven years in the NFL.  Some of it has to do with several years of outstanding play at the linebacker position, some of it is due to far more nefarious reasons. 

Whatever the case, "lights out" is not one of the most beloved players in professional football. 

The once-Maryland Terrapin and DC native is a formidable presence on the field, but he shouldn't expect a hero's welcome when he visits FedEx field. 

Whether it's on the road or at home, the Redskins would like to not only beat the Bills, but also to give Merriman a little lesson in manners and politely remind him where he comes from. 

Brandon Marhshall, Miami Dolphins

There's no denying that Brandon Marshall is a special talent.

At 6'4", 230 pounds, Marshall (when he's on) is a nightmare for opposing secondaries who struggle to find an answer for his rare combination of size and speed. 

This isn't the only reason Redskins fans don't like seeing Brandon Marshall, though. 

Marshall is mercurial and has a history of having an unpredictable personality.  The last thing we need is a hot head out there smack talking our corner backs.  We need them focused on coverage, not trying to best Marshall in a bro-fight. 

Marshall is also a Pittsburgh native.  Any loyal DC sports fan will tell you that the city of Pittsburgh is hostile territory and is a mainstay on the list of least-favorite away venues. 

That's why you're on this list, Mr. Marshall.

Tom Brady, New England Patriots

This one wasn't that hard to call.

In a way I feel like it's cheating to have Tom Brady here, but who else would it be?

Brady loves to rain fire on the opposition and the Redskins are no exception.  The Redskins haven't had a great deal of success against New England in recent years and Brady is the No. 1 reason why.

Perhaps it's also the Bieber-esque hair.  Maybe it's the way he throws sideline fits when things sway slightly out of his favor.  Maybe it's because his wife is a sports commentator in her own right.

However, it is definitely not because Brady sports an endorsement deal with UGGs.  He can have that all to himself.

Whatever the reason, Redskins fans know that whenever Tom Brady and the Pats show up on the schedule, it could be a long day for the Redskins. 

Darrelle Revis, New York Jets

In the last few seasons, Rex Ryan has made it fashionable to dislike the New York Jets. 

And if you do root against the Jets on a regular basis, you're probably in the anti-Darrelle Revis camp.

Now, I'm not saying Revis is a bad player.  In fact, it's hard to dispute that Revis is one of the premier one-on-one coverage corners in the NFL today. 

But Revis is an integral part of Rex's and the Jet's massive superiority complex.  They assume, week in and week out, that having Revis, along with corner Antonio Cromartie, enables them to shut down any team's passing game. 

If that were the case, why haven't we seen Rex Ryan holding a Lombardi trophy?

Plus, Revis is a Pitt grad.  Remember what I said about Pittsburgh?

I hear the weather on Revis island is awful this time of year, anyways.

Champ Bailey, Denver Broncos

It's not because Redskins fans dislike Champ Bailey.  In fact, it's quiet the opposite.  

Personally, I'm a huge fan, as he was one of the most consistent, more talented Redskins from my time growing up.

It was a red-letter day when Bailey was sent to Denver in a trade that involved Clinton Portis being sent over to Washington.

Portis had four 1,000+ yard seasons as a Redskin, so it's not as if we were on the bad end of the deal.  Still, Bailey's absence is felt even now as the Redskins look to bolster a secondary that is prone to giving up too many big plays.

Now, I could have put Tim Tebow in this slot, but that would have just been too easy. 

Seeing Champ Bailey in Bronco blue and orange stings for any Redskins fan because he was a great player for us.  It hurts any time a truly talented player like Bailey gets traded away in his prime.  It hurts knowing how much he could have continued to help us had he stayed in DC. 

We miss you, Champ.  And, let's be honest: you looked way better in burgundy and gold.

Mike Vrabel, Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are tough because they're in the AFC West and the Redskins don't play them all that often.  Plus, the Redskins and the Chiefs are likely a part of the same warrior nation.   

Still, if we have to pick someone, it's got to be Mike Vrabel. 

The 14-year veteran is on here solely because of the two teams he played for prior to arriving in Kansas City: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots. 

Vrabel has been good for a long time, and he played a hand in beating the Redskins numerous times during his tenures with the Steelers and the Pats. 

Had Larry Johnson stayed with the Chiefs, he no doubt would have taken this spot over Vrabel but, alas, he signed with the 'Skins as a free agent. 

Vrabel is winding down his career, but the Redskins have simply seen Mr. Vrabel too many times over the last 14 years.  We'd appreciate it if you stopped tackling our players, Mike.

Carson Palmer, Oakland Raiders

It's easy to dislike the Oakland Raiders, especially if you're an East-coaster and can only raise an eyebrow at some of the personnel decisions made by the late Al Davis.

Carson Palmer certainly didn't help himself, coming out of "retirement" to take over for an injured Jason Campbell. 

Palmer is part of a string of recent USC-bred quarterbacks who came to the NFL with lofty expectations and fell well short of meeting said expectations. 

Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez and Carson Palmer.  I guess you could say that Palmer has had the longest, most prolific career of the three.  Yet, we'd rather Palmer stay retired rather than attempt a string of comebacks akin to Brett Favre. 

Knowing the Redskins' luck, Palmer would go 22/31 for 320 yards and two touchdowns against the 'Skins if given the chance, making Redskins nation beat their heads against the wall for the times Palmer beat us while playing in Cincy, dressed as a tiger. 

Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers

Philip Rivers and Eli Manning have a few things in common. 

They were both part of the same draft class, they were the two best quarterbacks in said draft class, and were even focal points in a draft day trade that sent Rivers to the Chargers so Eli could play in New York.

What else do they have in common?  They both, at times, can be borderline insufferable.

I don't want to marginalize the struggles of an NFL quarterback.  It's a tough grind and they shoulder a lot of expectations week in and week out.  Still, if this was truly the worst day of Rivers' life, then the former NC State star has it pretty freakin' good.  

Plus, Rivers (aside from an abnormally-down 2011-2012 season) is one of the game's premier passers.

We have enough to worry about with Manning, Vick and Romo in our division.  You think Redskins nation would really like to put up with Rivers on top of that?  No.  But we'd gladly like to cause ol' Phil to deal with another edition of "the worst day ever."

Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens

Ray Lewis, on behalf of Redskins nation I ask you to do one thing:

Stop being so good.

Seriously, it's not enough that you're already one of—if not the—greatest middle-linebacker ever, so you have to continue playing at a level that is clearly not indicative of the years you've been in the league?

The battle of 495 has tilted in the Ravens' favor in recent years and Ray Lewis is a huge reason why that is the case. 

It would be easier for Redskins fans to dislike Lewis if he was just an over-hyped bully, a dirty player with no football acumen or just an average player anchored by an amazing supporting cast. 

The truth is, though, that Ray Lewis is still a terrifying force to go up against and as Redskins fans, we wish he would just slow down and let us have a 150 yard rushing game every now and then.

Adam Jones, Cincinnati Bengals

This one's easy as Adam "Pacman" Jones has given virtually every fan-base across America a plethora of reasons to root against him.

Now, I'm a West Virginia fan and normally I wouldn't write something negative about a former Mountaineer, but Jones has earned it over and over again. 

Jones' off-field troubles are well noted and, despite several attempts by front office brass, teammates and coaches to help Jones get himself straightened out, there seems to be no end to the self-destructive cycle that surrounds Jones at all times. 

As if that weren't enough, Jones is a former Dallas Cowboy.

When he is healthy and does manage to secure a spot on the starting line up, though, Jones is an explosive athlete who can make plays in the open field.

So, Adam, if you could stay out of trouble and make the occasional big play against someone other than the Redskins, it would be mightily appreciated. 

Peyton Hillis, Cleveland Browns

The latest beneficiary of the "Madden curse", Peyton Hillis is somewhat of a mystery.

He's been compared to Ricky Williams in that he doesn't really conform with the rest of the Brown's social circle and recently has been linked to headlines asserting that he would like to take his talents to the CIA. 

That said, Hillis had a down year in Cleveland and added more fuel to the long-held belief that appearing on the cover of Madden does nothing but harm one's career.

When he's healthy and full-go, Hillis is a bullish, powerful play-maker and thankfully, the Redskins now have the linebacker corps capable of stopping him from breaking off big plays. 

Still, Redskins nation—like any other fanbase—knows it's inevitable that Hillis will return to form and break from his Madden-cursed ways. 

Let's just hope it's not during his next outing against Washington.

Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

Big Ben Roethlisberger. 

Now that Hines Ward has been released, the Miami (OH) alum is undoubtedly the favorite son of Steeler nation. 

Roethlisberger has given the Steel city much to celebrate since being drafted back in 2004, but celebrated as he is within Steeler nation, he is equally despised outside of it. 

Washington is no exception. 

Redskins fans chomp at the bit for a chance to boo Roethlisberger and get under his skin whenever the Steelers make the trip down from Western PA. 

More recently, Big Ben has attempted to market himself as a changed person since his days of bike wrecking and fighting off sexual assault charges. 

This may be the case, but regardless, Redskins fans would like nothing better than to see Ben Roethlisberger wearing a dirty, tattered jersey and carrying an 'L' back to Pittsburgh.

Brian Cushing, Houston Texans

Brian Cushing and current Redskins all-pro Brian Orakpo were members of the same draft class.

Cushing was coming off an exceptional year at USC and Orakpo had just finished terrorizing the Big XII as a Texas Longhorn.  Both showed up to the NFL scouting combine and put on a show.  No surprise, then, that both were first round selections that made immediate impacts for their respective teams.

However, it was Cushing that won defensive rookie of the year over Orakpo and the outcry could be heard all across the DC metro area. 

While Cushing tallied more tackles, Orakpo more than doubled Cushing's sack total in 2009, asserting himself as one of the youngest and most fearsome pass-rushing linebackers in the NFL.

The memory lingers and no doubt drives Orakpo to continue to improve every day. 

Redskins hate to see Cushing for that fact alone, but take pride in the fact that Brian Orakpo has been one of the Redskins' most productive first round draft picks in recent memory. 

Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts

This is timely, given how often Peyton Manning's name has circulated through the Redskins' free agent rumor mill of late. 

Manning is simply one of the best quarterbacks of all time.  His pocket presence, his arm, his control of the game—they're all enviable traits that any head coaches would do anything to instill in their respective signal-callers. 

But, after four neck surgeries and a looming 36th birthday, Manning (it can be argued) is not the quarterback he was even a year and a half ago. 

It's frustrating, considering the Redskins' need for help at the quarterback position and that Manning would hit the market only when injuries have raised serious questions about his ability to play. 

As fans, we feared Manning for years, knowing full well a 400-yard passing performance could happen at any moment.  Now, we're hoping for the newest, youngest thing to end up coming to us in the draft and that Manning lands elsewhere. 

If there are a few more 400 yard games left in No. 18 though, let's hope he doesn't he doesn't use up any of them on the Redskins' secondary.

Blaine Gabbert, Jacksonville Jaguars

Blaine Gabbert is here because he has the potential to become a good quarterback and therefore, legitimately compete with the Redskins. 

He certainly better be, that is, when you consider that the Jags cut the more-than-capable David Gerrard in favor of drafting Gabbert out of Missouri. 

Gabbert is big at 6'4", 230 pounds, but is also mobile and athletic enough to make plays outside of the pocket. 

If Jacksonville is able to draft a down-field threat like Alshon Jeffrey or Marvin McNutt, Gabbert could see a huge improvement in his numbers in the 2013 season. 

Plus, Gabbert sports long, blonde locks that remind one of the much decried Tom Brady, and no one in Redskins nation is going to let that one slide.

Don't be surprised to hear 'Skins fans yelling "Sunshine" during the next match up with the Jaguars.  

Cortland Finnegan, Tennessee Titans

Cortland Finnegan has a colorful personality, some might say. 

The majority of us, though, would say that Cortland Finnegan likes to talk trash and isn't afraid to go to fisticuffs with opposing players. 

The Redskins don't have a very heated rivalry with the AFC South Titans, so we can't rely on the strength of any bad blood between Finnegan and one of the Redskins' offensive players. 

Still, I like to think that Cortland Finnegan is to the NFL what Ron Artest—or rather, Metta World Peace—is to the NBA: He's not the greatest athlete or most skilled player on the field but he plays hard and will, at times, cross the line in order to get under another player's skin. 

By the looks of things, Finnegan won't be a Titan for much longer and will end up signing elsewhere as a free agent.

Wherever he does land, though, hopefully the Redskins get another opportunity to throw a long touchdown down his side of the field.  That should give him something to talk about.    

Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals

Here's the thing—Redskins fans won't boo Larry Fitzgerald because he's a jerk, which he absolutely is not.  They'll boo him in a heartfelt attempt to throw him off of his game. 

Fitzgerald is arguably the best wide receiver playing the game of football.  When you have as much talent as he does and then have the reputation of being an all-world nice guy to boot, there's not a whole lot opposing fan bases can conjure up about you. 

Redskins nation admires Fitzgerald's receiving talents from afar and hope that the 'Skins don't have to cross the Mississippi for a showdown with the Cardinals. 

With the way our secondary has been playing, it wouldn't be a good day for either DeAngelo Hall or Josh Wilson. 

Plus when you're tall and have Predator-esque dreadlocks, that tends to scare people—little kids, even.  So keep all that out in the NFC West, Larry. 

And should the Redskins end up playing the Cardinals in the NFC championship in the near future, please have the flu or an off game or something. 

Carlos Rogers, San Francisco 49ers

When the Redskins drafted Carlos Rogers out of Auburn in 2005, they were hoping they'd found their next athletic, shutdown corner to help bolster a team that would have to continue on without all-pro Champ Bailey.

For six years, Rogers labored mightily to excel in the Redskins secondary.  While he was never lacking in tackles, Rogers got beat far too often and had, arguably, the worst hands in the NFL. 

Since heading to San Francisco, Rogers has become a pro-bowler and, in one season out in the Bay area, matched his interception total from the four previous years. 

Redskins nation is still asking the question: Where the @#%#%^ was that when you were in DC, Chuck?

Should the Redskins be happy for Carlos Rogers? Sure.  But rest assured, they wish he had been playing at that level during the six years he was in Washington.

If you're looking for one, all-encompassing reason as to why the Redskins are looking to beat the 49ers in 2013, look no further than Carlos Rogers.  

Marshawn Lynch, Seattle Seahawks

Maybe it's because of his beast mode run against the Saints in 2011. 

Maybe it's because one of his 100+-yard rushing performances from this past season happened against the Redskins. 

Whatever it is, Marshawn Lynch is a force when he has the rock in his hands and, certainly in 2011-2012, he revealed that the Redskins still need to improve their run-stop defense.

And, aside from Lynch, no one on the Seahawks is scaring the socks off of opposing teams.  Tarvaris Jackson? Charlie Whitehurst? Ben Obomanu? Nope, not even close.   

The Seahawks will likely place their franchise tag on Lynch which means that the Redskins will get plenty more chances to go up against Lynch in years to come.  Hopefully next year, "beast mode" will be Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan holding Marshawn Lynch below 60 yards rushing.   

Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams

In much the same fashion as Marshawn Lynch, Steven Jackson ends up on this list because he's currently St. Louis' lone weapon. 

Jackson is a 240-pound doomsday machine who can either run past you or run directly over you.  It usually depends on the mood he's in on any given Sunday. 

This past season, the Redskins managed to hold Jackson to 45 yards on 17 carries.  Not a bad day's work for the Redskins until you consider that the Rams literally had no other option on offense aside from Jackson, and it was after this game that the Redskins began their skid towards a 5-11 season. 

Sam Bradford figures to be healthy this fall and should have a big receiver target coming out of the draft. 

Until then, though, Jackson is the guy that Redskins nation should fear and boo, simultaneously.

Roy Williams, Chicago Bears

Roy Williams, ladies and gentlemen.

The former Dallas Cowboy, Detroit Lion and Texas native has made a name for himself in the NFL over the past eight seasons, and not one of the reasons is because he is a play-making wide receiver. 

Williams' time with the Cowboys and Lions was an extended exercise in patience to see how many attempts it would take before he could successfully reel in a pass.  Next to Carlos Rogers, I doubt there was a worse pair on hands in the NFC East for the better part of the 2000's. 

Now a Bear, Williams is still searching for only his second 1,000 yard season. 

Roy Williams has had all the physical tools to become a force in the NFL, but for whatever reason, the lighting never struck.  Redskins fans never forget this fact and Roy Williams can rest assured that his reception for the burgundy and gold faithful will be anything but warm.

Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions

Megatron was a giant, metallic harbinger of destruction.  While Calvin "Megatron" Johnson is not made of metal—as far as we know—he does have a habit of waylaying opposing secondaries.  

At 6'5", Johnson towers above most cornerbacks and is fast enough to gain separation against just about any secondary.  Trying to contain him is simply a massive undertaking.  

Fortunately the Redskins don't face off against the Lions regularly.  It's even better considering the 'Skins graciously handed them the win that broke their dreadful losing streak two seasons ago.  

The Lions, at least in the passing game, are formidable again and Johnson is an integral part of that resurgence. 

It would have been easier to pick on Ndamokung Suh for revealing himself as a dirty player this past season, but Calvin Johnson is the most fearsome member of the pride and he doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down. 

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers is very, very hard to dislike. 

He's a fun-loving guy, he's the owner of arguably the coolest end-zone celebration in the league to-date and he's been able to emerge from Brett Favre's lengthy shadow as the undisputed favorite son of Green Bay. 

Oh yeah, he can win a lot of football games too.  Perhaps that's why the Redskins would rather not cross paths with the former Cal Golden Bear. 

Of course, you could also make the case that the Redskins just feel let down by Rodgers' feeble performance against the Giants in the NFC semis.  He could have ended the Giants' Superbowl run then and there but nooo, he had to let the unthinkable happen and lose at Lambeau in the playoffs.

Sheesh. 

Still, Aaron Rodgers is one of the most feared gun-slingers in the NFL and that deserves equal parts fear and respect.

Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings

Adrian Peterson is not a human, he's a horse. 

Well, he runs like one at least. 

The former Oklahoma Sooner is a devastating force coming out of the backfield and his blend of power, finesse and speed is a lot for any defense to account for. 

He's so good, in fact, that he was named to the NFL Any-Era team. 

Peterson incurred a season-ending knee injury against the Redskins this past season and is in full-on rehab mode.  Surely, Peterson wants that game back.

Adrian Peterson will be healthy soon enough and when he is, he'll be right back at his usual tricks: running holes through and circles around opposing defenses.  For the Redskins run-stop unit, that means a long, long Sunday chasing after him

Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons

For me, Matt Ryan represents one of the most forgettable Redskins' draft classes in recent history. 

Washington didn't have a first round pick that year and Ryan went to Atlanta with the No.3 overall pick.  Washington did, however, pick Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly in the second round, Chad Rinehart in the third, Justin Tryon in the fourth and finally Kareem Moore and Colt Brennan in round six.   

You all remember them, right?  Talk about picks not panning out (although Fred Davis was a member of this draft class).   

Ryan has made a name for himself in the last four years as one of the better, young pocket-passers in the NFL.  Imagine if the Redskins had been around to draft him.  How different would the last few years have been if the quarterback carousel could have been avoided altogether?

"Matty Ice" is now entering his fifth season under center for the Falcons after throwing for 4,177 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2012.  The Redskins would hate to play him based on his pedigree alone. 

But it's more the fact that Ryan is one of the lone stars to emerge from a draft class that has gone down as one of the worst punchlines in Redskins history. 

That's why DC hates to see you, Matt.

Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

Cam Newton has spent only a single season in the NFL and already Redskins nation can't bear to hear the sound of his name. 

The former Heisman winner and erstwhile Auburn Tiger defied expectations in his rookie season to throw for 4,000+ yards and 21 touchdowns while only collecting six wins.

One of those wins was against the Redskins in week seven. 

Panthers nation is suddenly reinvigorated and the NFC South suddenly looks like it's back on its way to being a formidable conference which is annoying, because everyone knows the NFC East is king.  Right?

Cam Newton has a long career ahead of him, and likely-thousands of opportunities to flash his million-volt smile.  Like I said, it's annoying, and it doesn't help that he's a threat on every down. 

Ideally, Cam Newton would go back to Auburn and keep transferring around the SEC for a few more years while the Redskins enjoy a string of successful seasons. 

Redskins nation isn't a fan because it looks like Cam Newton is actually the real deal, and that hurts.

Jonathan Vilma, New Orleans Saints

If only Greg Williams was actually a player and not a coach.  He'd be perfect for this. Instead, linebacker Jonathan Vilma gets the distinction. 

Vilma, an eight-year veteran, was a Jet for four years before joining New Orleans in 2008.  He warrants boos from Redskins nation based on his prior affiliation with the Jets alone, but it's his involvement with the Saints' bounty scandal (which I'm sure will soon be dubbed "bounty-gate") that really tips the scales. 

As a middle linebacker, you're essentially the captain of the defense.  There's no doubt that Vilma was aware of and likely participated in Greg Williams' scheme to reward devastating hits with under-the-table cash bonuses. 

It's inexcusable to say the least, and I expect more than just the Redskins' fan base to have a few choice words for the Saints when they take the field this fall.

Albert Haynesworth, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I bet Redskins fans can think of 100 million, though. 

This is technically cheating, considering Haynesworth has already been waived by Tampa Bay.  But seeing as how this was his last (and likely final) stop in the NFL, and he was so recently a member of their roster, we'll just pretend that Haynesworth is still a Buccaneer.

There's not much you can say about Haynesworth's career trajectory after his several dominating seasons in Tennessee.  Bottoming out is one way to put it, I suppose, but even that doesn't capture the depths to which Haynesworth plunged both on and off the field. 

The sexual assault allegations, the highway fist fights, the incalculable laziness, the price tag upon which Dan Snyder stamped his approval.  It all reads like a Shakespearean tragedy and, indeed, it could have been had Shakespeare's antagonist tipped the scales at 320+ pounds and made himself a pariah on three different NFL rosters. 

Albert Haynesworth will be forever enshrined in the pantheon of the most despised players in Redskins nation. 

Eli Manning, New York Giants

Perhaps we should be grateful that Eli captained the Giants through a treacherous playoff run to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Superbowl.

Yes, I'm actually serious.

A 5-11 season is nothing to hang on the fridge, but when two of those wins came against the Superbowl XLVI champs, it certainly provides something of a bright spot to an otherwise overcast season. 

That said, Eli is still enemy No. 1 in the Empire State for Redskins fans. 

Why? Well it could be that he's Archie's youngest son and made it abundantly clear on his draft day that he was playing where he wanted, not where he was picked. 

Perhaps it's the fact that he's won two Superbowls despite having a career that borders on the chronically inconsistent.

The reasons seem to vary.  Either way, the Giants have had the Redskins' number for the most part in recent years and Eli is always at the forefront of it all.

He's even ruined the word "elite." It's just too much.   

DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles

Typically, you won't see DeSean Jackson very often.  That's probably because he's running past you at 4.3 speed. 

Jackson is an unwelcome sight to the DC faithful because he's A) very hard to contain and B) has a bit of an attitude problem. 

I think we all remember the opening play of the Redskins MNF game against the Eagles in 2010.

After a well-documented pregame exchange between Jackson and Redskins safety LaRon Landry, Jackson took a Michael VIck bomb 88 yards to the house while leaving Landry doubled over coughing on jet engine exhaust.

I won't go into detail about the rest of the game, as it's not worth remembering. 

While Michael Vick is more universally disliked and feared by NFL defenses, Jackson has that nagging, cocksure braggadocio that just gets inside defender's heads.  

Now that Jackson has been tagged by the Eagles, the Redskins are sure to see plenty more of him in the years to come and that just isn't something Redskins fans are looking forward to. 

Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys

If you're a Redskins fan, you loathe the Dallas Cowboys.  End of story. 

Which is unfortunate for whoever happens to be under center for the Cowboys, as he is usually the focal point of most of the vitriol. 

That means you, Tony Romo. 

When you're the guy leading the silver and blue out of the tunnel under the billion dollar canopy of Texas stadium and Jerry Jones is signing your paycheck, there's no one else that 'Skins fans across the country would rather boo. 

Aside from seeing him arm in arm with celebrity bombshells or teeing off in celebrity pro-ams with Tiger Woods, we're also constantly reminded that Tony Romo is actually a good quarterback. 

Sure, Romo plays hard and I can't imagine he appreciates someone like DeAngelo Hall plotting to go after his injured ribs (jump to the 2:04 mark).  But this is what happens when you captain a team owned by one of the most lambasted people in all of professional football.

This is just life for Dallas' field general.  The people of "Big D" may love you, but to the burgundy and gold legions, you are public enemy No. 1.
