The ten latest exclusive Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, and NFL Draft news and articles by www.thehogs.net. en-us http://www.thehogs.net/content http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1240 The Hogs finally have a representative in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. Russ Grimm will be inducted with the 2010 class, and with it, a great wrong will have been righted. It seems impossible that almost twenty years after dominating the NFL, the venerable offensive line known as the Hogs didn't have a single member with a bust in Canton, Ohio. Now they will. Grimm must have thought that the day would never come, after being a finalist each of the last six years, and a candidate for fourteen... Mon, 8 Feb 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1239 The 2009/2010 Washington Capitals are a great hockey team. Sure they sit atop the NHL standings, sure they're a ridiculous 27 points ahead of their next closest division opponent, but you know what really makes this year's Caps team special? Their never say die attitude. There doesn't seem to be any lead that is insurmountable for this hockey team - as witnessed again on Sunday afternoon. The always heralded match-up between Washington and Pittsburgh was nationally televised and did not di... Sun, 7 Feb 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1238 There will surely be a dozen bad 'dozen' references in headlines tonight, but it won't take away from the magnificent ride that the 2009/2010 Wasgington Capitals are on. Thursday night they made it twelve straight wins with an impressive comeback win over the New York Rangers in their own barn - Madison Square Garden. Nicklas Backstrom led the way with four assists to go along with his goal, the game winner. He put the Capitals out in front for good 5:34 into the third, when he picked up a l... Fri, 5 Feb 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1237 A New Position for Carter Amidst all the front office and coaching changes that have taken place at Redskins Park over the last month and a half, there will have to be another change to account for, this time on the players' side. Andre Carter, who had one of the best seasons of his career in 2009 at defensive end, will be making the move to outside linebacker in 2010 under new defensive coordinator Jim Haslett's scheme, which is expected to be the 3-4 alignment. “As soon as I think I'm... Sun, 31 Jan 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1236 It was business as usual on Friday night at the Verizon Center - at least for the month of January. The Washington Capitals etched out a 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers for their ninth consecutive victory, and their franchise record-tying twelfth win of the month. Led by three-point performances from Mike Knuble and Nicklas Backstrom, it was another strong showing for the Caps in front of their home crowd at the Verizon Center. Washington are now an NHL-best 20-3-3 at home. Knuble kept ... Sat, 30 Jan 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1235 With the announcement that Keenan McCardell will become the Washington Redskins' next wide receiver coach, it appears that the 2010 staff is now complete. While Washington may still add another name or two to the list, all of the important positions have been filled. Only four coaches remain from the last regime - Danny Smith for Special Teams, Steve Jackson for Safeties, Kirk Olivadotti as the Defensive Assistant, and Bill Khayat for Quality Control of the Offense. Here's a look at the new memb... Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1234 The Washington Capitals exploded for three goals in a two and a half minute span in the third period, to beat up the Anaheim Ducks 5-1. The win was Washington's eighth win a row, equaling their longest string of victories since the 1983-84 season when they had ten. Alex Ovechkin brought fans at the Verizon Center to their feet less than a minute into the game with an easy tap in, when Ducks goaltender J.S. Giguere was out of position. After the game, Alex said that his 34th goal of the season...

What many may not know is that former Washington Redskins linebacker Ken Harvey was tasked by Diageo to visit the embattled island and offer his support. Harvey hopped on Redskins One and made his way to Haiti. Once on the island, the devastation ... Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1232 The Washington Capitals took advantage of a tired Toronto Maple Leafs squad, and pasted the boys in blue 6-1 to the delight of a packed crowd at the Verizon Center. Alex Ovechkin showed why he's the best in the game with a five-point night, one goal and four assists, to move into second place overall in the NHL points race. Ovechkin got Washington off to a lightning quick start with a goal just 49 seconds into the game. Nicklas Backstrom broke into the Leafs zone and when both Leaf defenseme... Sat, 16 Jan 2010 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1231 After the Redskins lackluster performances against the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys the last two weeks, it's easy to see why the talk surrounding the team is mostly about changes that may come as soon as early next week and not about the product that has been put out on the field. Following their second embarrassing loss in as many weeks in a divisional matchup on primetime television, this time a 17-0 defeat at the hands of the hated Cowboys, fans simply want the final game of the seas...
