John Riggins prediction for the '07 season

I listen to his radio show just about every day, and I've never heard him say that he thinks the Redskins will be that good. I've heard him say that the Redskins are in a better position to win the division than any other team in the NFC East.

I've also heard him say that he thinks Gibbs will find some way to work Brunell into the lineup...

He sure knows Gibbs! LOL!

I just thought it was interesting since he's usually pretty negative about the team. I'm fully aware that he's a bit of a nut, but that's also what makes him Riggo.

Well.........whatever is determined to be "what he said", he does not cut the Skins, Gibbs or anyone else any slack. If he said it, he believes without any homerism involved

Absolutly!

Thats why some guys have a prob with him, I have heard enough from Riggo to say he is pretty knowledgable when it comes to player personel. Just because he's not predicting success for us every year doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's talking about, it's proven that he does.

I don't listen to him but I thought last year he wasn't very high on the team headed into the season?

I really love Riggo and everything he did for our club, but I can't take him seriously when it comes to his prognostications and opinions about the league.

Love Riggo the player and the personality but not the greatest analyst. I think that the D will be top 5 in yardage allowed but some of that is going to be bc of the short fields other teams will have to work with. I think a better indicator of improvement will be more TO's from the D.

Wow I can't figure this site out. A guy comes along and predicts that we will be ranked around 28 and he is stupid, a di$%, should be fired, knows nothing about football, etc... . Then Riggins says we could be a top 5 team and people say the same thing about him.

not quite the same thing.. We all love Riggo

Riggo is the ultimate fan favorite. Won't matter what he says, unless it is outrageously politically incorrect, folks will eat it up. He is a real character, but people love a character like him and find him really entertaining. As for him not knowing much about the NFL, just look at some of the net sportswriters or Dr. Z. They say some of the dumbest things.

Beyond all the things JR did on the field, you could always be entertained by the his sound bites on the evening sports report. I truly miss listening to his whacko comments (right Sandy baby?) and always felt he lightened up the mood when needed. Riggo and Dexter Manley: Two undeniable characters and I wish we had more of 'em.
