It’s Déjà Vu All Over Again

Some things you just can't make up.

Back in January, we reported
that Heath Shuler would be playing in RFK for the Congressional
baseball game, a completely appalling situation that was only slightly
rectified by the fact that we got a funny quote in Roll Call. As the
game got closer, there were numerous reports about how the Democrats had [...]

Shuler stubbornly continues to not to be stopped

We kinda figured that as of November 8, our work was done. But Shuler keeps rearing his draft-bust head.

First, some good news when we found out that his office is on the fifth floor of the four-floor Cannon building (Ex-Redskin Shuler again an outsider in Washington – The Washington Times).
Things went down hill as we [...]

Shuler not stopped

Well, as you may have heard, Heath Shuler was elected to Congress today.
Back in January, when we found out Heath Shuler was running for Congress, we thought, "wouldn’t it be funny to oppose his bid, purely on football reasons?" We think the conclusion, after all of this, is yes. Yes it was.
We did this [...]

Can we just skip to the election already?

   

When we chose to start this cause, we didn’t realize we’d end up following the twists and turns of one of the more idiotic races in recent memory. Remember the whole debate thing, where Shuler couldn’t do it because he doesn’t work on Sundays? Well, they finally set up a debate — a radio [...]

Norv Turner can’t handle the truth

After our landmark interview with Heath Shuler the other day, we figured it would be only fair if we asked Shuler’s former coach, Norv Turner, to comment on what Heath had to say. Sure, he may be busy preparing the mighty 49ers offense for another ass-kicking, but we figured that he’d want to refute some [...]

Heath Shuler Speaks!

So, a few weeks ago, we sent a playful email to Shuler’s press guy, asking for an interview. We didn’t think anything would come of it, to be honest. In fact, we were thinking of turning it into a part of the site like, "Why won’t Heath Shuler face the truth?" or "Day 12 of [...]

Getting philosophical…

One of the main points of the Stop Shuler Manifesto is that the Redskins are finally getting things right, and having Heath Shuler back in town could screw all that up. Yes, we know, it’s not really deep stuff, like proposing to give the workers the control of the means of production or anything. Nonetheless, [...]

Wait a minute — does this mean we’re jinxed?

Finally, someone in the media is doing their job. From the esteemed pages of Sports Illustrated:
Heath Shuler fizzled as a top Redskins draft pick. Now he wants to return to D.C. as a congressman
In the 19 games Heath Shuler spent taking snaps for the Washington Redskins in the mid-1990s, the team went 4-15. His quarterback [...]

A Titanic concern

There is no conceivable way that the Redskins could lose at home to the 0-5 Titans, right? I mean, the team has the talent, the coaching, the fans, the resources, everything — there’s just no way.
So how did it happen? Could it be that the "stench of failure" that we have been concerned that [...]

Heath Shuler: Hot or Not?

In another example of how the Mainstream Media is ignoring the important issues at hand, the Washington Post wrote an article about how, well, just plum attractive the Democratic candidates are this year. Instead of writing an expose on how bad an QB Heath was for their hometown NFL team, they chose to talk about [...]
