Practice Bubble Inflating At Redskins Park
Posted by on January 20, 2012 – 4:39 pmThe long-awaited rise of the Redskins practice bubble has begun at Redskins Park this afternoon. As the sun goes down behind the clouds, the bubble is about one-third of the way full and getting bigger by the minute.
The photos above were taken at around 4:25 p.m., and the video update below was shot at around 2 p.m. when the inflation began. This is the first indoor practice facility for the Redskins in franchise history, and should allow the team a safe and accommodating place to practice, no matter what the weather.
Here’s Redskins Nation‘s Larry Michael with the breaking news:

This is big news?? For the deadskins, maybe. Their bubble burst a long time ago. Ravens are still playing.

Press member reporting Skins know who there QB will be and fans will be excited minus opportunity to draft Luck or RG3 plus old reports Shanny loved Bradford=Rams take RG3 and trade Bradford to skins. Next DC QB Sam Bradford?

Just say no to SAM BRADFORD. Why would anyone want that lousy player with that god-awful contract.

No way we keep Landry.

How did the redskins ever go so long without an indoor facility?
I guess the owner never expected them to hold practices in January.

Sam Bradford is a solid QB, we’d be lucky to get him.

BRADFORD sux

BRADFORD 2011
6 TD; 6 INT; 6 Fumbles = 70.2 passer rating.
Total two seasons 74.4 passer rating.
He sux for the money he’d make and for what we’d give up in picks. If St. Louis wanted to pay all but a couple mill per of his salary and a couple low round picks over 2012 and 2013 drafts, O.K. otherwise, just say no to SAM BRADFORD..

We can’t afford the luxery of squandering picks this year. The club isn’t that good……….yet! But another truck-load of talent like last year’s draft and a 7-8 win finish in 2012, we can blow money and picks out of the water for MATT BARKLEY, who barring injury will be the #1 pick in 2013′s draft.
