A theme song.
Look what “Baby Shark” did for the Washington Nationals. It propelled them from baseball’s depths to a completely unexpected World Series victory.
Of course, I’ve heard “Hail to the Redskins.” A million times or more. How’s it served the team lately? Not much wampum, swampum, stompum, whatever, going on. Most of the points soaring are tallied by the opposition.
It once carried enormous power, to the point of being the major reason the Dallas Cowboys exist. In case you didn’t know, the story goes that Clint Murchison craved getting an NFL team for Dallas, but needed a unanimous vote by the league’s owners. Redskins owner George Preston Marshall was clear he would vote no because the Redskins were the team of the South and a Texas franchise would infringe on that status.
But Marshall was feuding with Bernie Breeskin, the leader of his band who, along with Marshall’s wife, had composed “Hail to the Redskins.” Murchison bought the rights to the song and used it as leverage to get Marshall’s vote.
By and large, the Cowboys have been one step ahead of the Redskins from that day on. And the Breeskin-Corinne Griffith song has gotten stale, very stale.

Never a quiet time for WFT
The dust never settles around the Washington Football Team.
Bargains can be valuable additions
Raise your hand if you muttered derisively last offseason when the Washington Football Team signed free-agent tight end Logan Thomas away from the Detroit Lions.
