Ya don't say!

This week, the Washington Redskins began mailing letters to their general admission and premium club seat ticket holders, informing them of significant changes to the in-game video experience, headlined by two 30 feet tall by 100 feet wide high-definition video boards, one in each end zone.

I think Dan is suffering from Jerruh World Envy!! Hey, if it gets us better screens then I am glad he has it.

I went to my first NFL game this year (Dallas-Skins) and I was embarrassed by the "jumbotrons" in Fedex. Honestly, that whole stadium needs an upgrade. It was built with the minivan mindset, as many people in as cheaply as possible.

Let's see how long this holds him over. I'm sure that the second we start winning again he'll start pushing a brand new stadium that's bigger and more expensive than Jerry's World. You just have to know that after Danny Boy saw that place that he was going to want something just like this palace down here.

As long as there's no pole-dancers and the stadium isn't such a ridiculous hassle to get to, I won't complain.

It really is about time. Maybe next we will see the appropriate number of port-a-pots in the lots. Baby steps.

Finally, something to look at in the stadium. Nice.

I remember one game they were trying to show a replay during a challenge to see if the ball hit the ground. They were using slow motion action and stopping it where they thought the ball hit the ground. Well, on the screen you couldn't see the ball because there were several bulbs out and it was exactly the location of trying to see if the ball was down. It was embarrasing.

Embarrasing and Redskins football went hand and hand this season! Maybe just maybe we hit bottom and are on our way back up.

Can't wait to see the new screens....

I am ecstatic too, but lets not get carried away. Our cheerleaders offer a variety of nice things to look at.

My dad uses the Binoculars during the game, I use them during the timeouts!

Pole Dancers could have come in handy the last two years! Let's hope we don't need them going forward.

But I have to say, under most circumstances I am normally a big fan.

Don't forget, I used to have close up views of them. Hard to beat that.

I think the worst game I ever attended was when I sat in dream seats. I did nothing the whole game but flirt with my girl....you know who I mean.

DS must have sat down and read the suggestion cards, so far(since the end of '09 season) hes done well by us. Keep up the good work Dan.

Florio of PFT takes another shot at us with these new screens below. I think he really hates us now since we embarassed his super bowl pick last season.

I was going to mock that statement myself. Calling them "punter proof" reveals that Danny is just trying to keep pace with Jones.

Well I got my girl for half the game. They were doing some funky rotations when I was sitting in them. This was a while ago....

Ugh. Why hasn't Shanahan or Allen taken Larry Michael out to the common green and had him beheaded yet?

Far too merciful. Larry's demise must be painful and drawn out. Talk to your boss.

Thou canst not take the court jester to the gallows lest he steal from King Daniel's royal vault of Kindergarden Ninja DVDs and broke grandmothers' tears.

Guess this is our present for suffering through Cerrato's bs for so long. Long overdue imo. Danny loves to throw that jack around lol. Looking forward to a review of these next year for sure.

I don't want to bother him with such trivialities in an election year.

Gallows are way too good for MIchael. Maybe if the rope snapped and he fell into an acid bath..

I've been incredibly tempted to post a thread on ES along the lines of "I have a friend with the organization that says he heard LM is getting fired" just to see the response I get.

Larry actually said yesterday "We know who the OL coach is, but we won't tell." What a douche.

Why do you guys hate Larry? Are you thinking that he is in Danny's pocket or that he does not give a straight answer?

I hope there are more upgrades to come

Honestly, the most important thing being mentioned is the upgarde to the control room. I've been inside that room, and you would surprised how "out of date" the equipment is that's currently inside of it. Without that upgrade, most of you would probably very disappointed with what you would see on those new screens.
