Oh wow, the Ring of Fame. That’ll definitely fix our 4-13 season problems. Nothing says ‘successful franchise’ like constantly living in the past while the present is burning down around us. But hey, at least we got our priorities straight!
For those who don’t remember the stats: Santana Moss played for Washington from 2005-2014, recorded 6,392 receiving yards and 47 touchdowns. He had three 1,000+ yard seasons and was known for his speed and ability too make big plays in crucial moments. Well deserved honor.
moss was that dude who always showed up when nobody else did haha. remember when he torched dallas secondary twice in one game? that was more entertaining then our entire last season lmao. good times
Look im happy for Santana but lets be real here – the ring of fame is becoming meaningless when management keeps making terrible decisions on the field. We can honor past players all we want but untill we fix whats broken now it doesnt matter. Moss deserves better than this timing tbh
took them long enought lol. moss was good but ring of fame?? i dont know man, seems like there lowering the standards these days.
Next week they’ll probably induct the hot dog vendor from section 214 at this rate 😂
seriously?? what about other players that deserved it more. art monk had to wait forever and moss gets in this fast? dont get me wrong he was good but this aint right, the organization is just trying to distract fans from current problems
About time they recognized him! Moss gave everything he had for this team through good times and bad. His dedikation and performence on the field speaks for itself.
Finally! Santana deserves this so much, been waiting for this moment for years. One of the most clutch receivers we ever had, remember that Dallas game? Legend!
