Scot McCloughan to be new Redskins GM

I really don't think the drinking will be an issue anymore. Sounds like he's cleaned that part of his life up. He's a grown man and if he wants to have a beer then so be it. Just keep it under control.

Come on - really? Alcoholism is a lifetime problem, always with relapses.

There is near certainty this will be a problem again.


Personally I think an alcoholic really cannot continue to drink beer or any alcohol, it's heading to disaster. Is there anything wrong with drinking beer? Not for you or me perhaps, but for an alcoholic it's just disaster. The real question is only when he will relapse, how will he deal with it, and who his support circle will be to help him with it. If he develops a good friend/support circle, he can get through his relapses without losing his career / his life. And not to mention developing cirrhosis by 50 years old. Mark my words, if his eyes start to turn yellow and his belly gets real big - his liver is failing.



Anyway, I still love the move, well worth the risks. Would be nice to still have AJ Smith as backup if McCloughan can't keep it together over the next few years.

Haslett gone. New GM.... is this real life? oh happy day!

I hope Mc can "clue in" our scouting department.

I hope Mc can replace our scouting department.


Fixed that for you.

Seems like a great move but I'll grade it in a couple of years. Been a fan since 86 and this has been one of the more demoralizing years to watch. Cancelling the NFL package.


I had the NFL package when it was born up till 2010 when I moved East. I thought they were giving it away or at a steep discount now.

Is this a done deal or not? I'm seeing reports he still interviewing with the Raiders and Jets.

yeah, rumors floating around about deal not signed yet.

Deal is done. Just working out the money

Doesn't the Rooney rule apply to GM hires too? Were any African American candidates interviewed?
