 The 1999 Playoffs: Redskins-Lions | 54.04 MB |
EXCERPT:
The season was 1999, and the site was FedExField. The 10-6 Redskins, winners of the NFC East, were hosting the 8-8 Detroit Lions in a first-round playoff game.
The Lions' quarterback was a man familiar to Redskin fans, for he had served in the same role in Washington for five seasons (1994-98): Gus Frerotte. Frerotte's position coach was someone who today is very recognizable in the Nation's Capital: first-year Redskins head coach Jim Zorn.

EXCERPT:
Ken Houston remembers the play like it was yesterday, only it was 30 years ago on October 8, 1973.
The Redskins were hosting the Dallas Cowboys at RFK Stadium. With 24 second left, the Cowboys trailed 14-7 and faced a fourth-and-goal at the 4-yard line. Fullback Walt Garrison caught a pass at the 1. But Houston came up from his safety position, picked him up and wrestled him to the ground a few inches from the goal line, preserving a victory over the Redskins' most bitter rival.

EXCERPT:
When the name Don Shula comes to mind, you think of one of the most legendary coaches in NFL history. In 33 seasons of coaching, most of them with the Miami Dolphins, today's opponent, he posted two of the most coveted all-time league marks: the most overall coaching wins (347) and the most regular-season wins (328).
Now, what many people don't know about Shula is that he also played in the pros as a defensive back for seven seasons, spending one year—you guessed it—with the Redskins. After playing for the Cleveland Browns in 1951 and 1952 and the Baltimore Colts from 1953 to 1956, he spent the 1957 season on a 5-6-1 Redskins squad. He intercepted three passes that year and 21 in his career.
Mike Richman, producer and host of the TV show "Burgundy & Gold Magazine," won first place for sports coverage in the nationally recognized 2013 Hometown Media Awards sponsored by the Alliance for Community Media (ACM). The judges named Mike the winner for his seven-minute clip from an episode of "B&G Magazine" taped during the 2012 season at FedExField. In the clip, Mike interviews "SuperSkin," that iconic Redskins mascot who dresses like Superman in burgundy and gold spandex clothing, and the owners of "The Diesel," an old U.S. Marine transport bus painted in burgundy and gold that sits in the parking lot at FedExField. The rest of the show features an interview with "Chief Zee," another legendary Redskins mascot who has long worn Native American clothing to Redskins games, and a profile of the "one-man gang," former Redskins LB and special teams star Lorenzo Alexander.
The award was presented at ACM's Hometown Media Awards ceremony on May 30, 2013 in San Francisco. There were more than 800 entries combined in all categories.

Mike would like to thank his cameraman for the show, John Eftimiades, as well as his Final Cut Pro expert, Roni Benzvi, for their stellar work. Another excellent camerman, Robert Snip, shot footage for Mike at a series of other games throughout the Redskins' historic 2012 season.
