Adam Carriker Caption Contest

Not to be outdone by Laron Landry and his freakish physique, Adam Carriker (the Redskins strongest player) has gone to his twitter and facebook pages with a picture of himself in a shirt that’s a little small…

Contest time. The funniest tweet, facebook message or comment post left on this blog, captioning this picture gets a Fatpickled T-shirt (we have them in guys & girls and in all sizes). 2 quotes immediately popped into my head when I saw the pic of Adam so I’m throwing them out now.

“Dan Snyder called, he wants his shirt back.”

“Fat Guy in a little shirt”

The contest will run till next Thursday, bring on the funny.

Is Peyton Manning The Next Billy Kilmer?

The last neck I saw that was that long had rings on it...

Unless you live under a rock I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors that Peyton Manning is set to be cast aside by the Colts, a result of neck surgery that has left Manning with a “noodle” arm according to reports. Manning’s passes after surgery have been described as “wounded ducks”. Let’s see here, an over the hill, noodle armed QB who throws wounded ducks…we’re talking about Billy Kilmer right?

It was a little over 40 years ago when the Washington Redskins traded for Billy Kilmer. At the time Kilmer had been in the NFL for 10 years, was 32 years old and was headed to his 3rd NFL team. Kilmer was coming off a horrible season for the New Orleans Saints, a season in which the Saints won just 2 games and Kilmer threw just 6 TD’s vs. 17 INT’s. Kilmer’s performance led the Saints to draft a can’t miss QB prospect out of Mississippi by the name of…Archie Manning.

40 years later it’s Archie’s son who’s being replaced by the can’t miss prospect, in this case Andrew Luck. It’s Peyton who’s over the hill and throwing the wounded ducks…the Manning’s are coming full circle.

I’m still not sure if the Redskins should sign Peyton Manning or not? But, if Manning were to become the 2nd coming of Billy Kilmer it wouldn’t be so bad. All Kilmer did was lead the Redskins to a Super Bowl, go 50-23 as a starter and lead the NFL in passing during the 72’ season. He would also make a Pro Bowl and the Redskins Ring of Fame.

Noodle arms, wounded ducks…can’t lose?!

The Early 90′s = Bad Redskins T’s

I’ve covered ugly Redskins T’s on this site before and the common theme always seems to be that the shirts originated in the early 90′s. From the era that brought us zubaz pants, I give you more awesomely bad T’s:

"Ain't No Doubt" this shirt is horrendous.

When I look at this shirt 'It's Tricky' by Run DMC starts playing in my head.

Creepy-looking mannequin sold seperately.

Not sure how/why the Tasmanian Devil was so popular?

Ok, this one's not so bad?
