Justin Skaggs?

IggyG · 01-22-2008, 10:11 PM

Does anyone know or have any idea what happened to former Redskins WR Justin Skaggs? I thought he had talent then the Skins released him and thats the last I seen or heard of him. I hope this doesn't happen to Mike Espy.

He's dead man. He's been dead for almost a year.

Needless to say.

It definitely sucks though.. He had a nice career going for him in the AFL.

For the record, before you post something... at the very least, Google that shit. I'm not trying to be a dick. It just baffles me why you would start a thread about something you could effing google.

Your more likely to get your answer... and you'll probably get it faster.

sorry didnt realize that...may he RIP. Now, does anyone believe Mike Espy has a decent shot of making the 53 man roster next year?

Depends on how he's healed.

I def. think he's got a legit shot at sticking around. Signing the likes of Mix, Caldwell, and McCardell greatly decreases his chances... but he's def got a better shot than our main man b-lloyd. He looked good all pre-season, and it really is a shame he got hurt.

If he plays anywhere near last year's level... I'm certain he'll at least make the practice squad.

Sorry, but it sounds like you are being a bit over the top. Things do not have to be a throughly researched endeaver. It sounds like a legit question to me.

For the record... If I was overly harsh, I do apologize.

But seriously... Google is not a thorough endeavor. It's a very mild one, in fact... it's much easier than the trouble it takes to figure out and start a new thread.

Type "Justin Skaggs", in Google, and you'll get your answer. Right away. It's literally right at the top.

Nobody said thoroughly researched. But it's like.. When he said Justin Skaggs, I looked it up on wiki and it practically has his whole life on there. If it was some in-depth question like, does anyone know his statistical numbers for when he was playing here. That's a little more harder to answer or if it was some opinionated question/comment.

I think all he's trying to say is if it's something trival like, "What happened to X" You could probably figure it out on your own or at least try to first. But whatever, it doesn't matter to me who posts what here I'll help out whoever asks, so I digress...

It's supposed to be about knowledgeable discussion.

RIP Justin Skaggs!
I am so happy to have been able to meet him in Carlisle during TC and purchase a game worn jersey of his last winter... never did I know we would end up losing yet another 'Skin star too early.....

Iggy is tough as nails. He won't let my criticism slow him down. I don't think I was being too harsh on him... plus, I promise he'll google everything from now on.

I'm just trying to say, in general, effort should go into starting a new thread. Maybe it's not my place...
