Wow, Todd Pinkston Signed

Okay, some will look at this as a move of utter desperation, and I can't say I would argue with them. Skins sign Todd Pinkston, who most assumed was out of football for good after no one picked him up last season (cut by Eagles and then also Vikings after brief stint in Minn.). Todd took a lot of abuse for having "alligator arms" and his run ins with The Grim Reaper were well documented.

Some people would say the Redskins have no legit No. 2 WR - again, no argument here - and with the wide receiver out with shin splints (not sure if he'll be practicing today or not) and no one not named Moss showing much Saturday, it can't hurt to look at other people.

This is now the second vet. WR the Skins have brought in in the last few weeks - Corey Bradford - is the other, and even they seem to be admitting that despite all the millions in signing bonus $ spent at this position, a need exists. Still, I kinda thought Pinkston was done.

The Skins also signed DT Matthias Askew - a 4th round pick by the Bengals in 2004 who was waived last year - and cut WR Kyle Brown and DT Vaka Manupuna.

This could be the funniest ex-Eagle signing since Rich Kotite coached the Jets.

He's up next I would guess.The Skins have Moss and Randle-El. I guess this move admits that Lloyd sucks and won't do anything. Thrash will make the team...I would guess that Lloyd, Bradford, Espy and Stinkston will battle for the final 2 spots after Moss, El, and Thrash.

Todd Pinkston, he's baaack

Doesn't that imply that he was actually here at one point? This scarecrow may be the worst player to ever fool NFL coaches into significant playing time in NFL history.

Holy #### funny you should ask. He came into my liquor store tonight and bought a bottle of Chopin vodka. Seriously. Recognized him instantly. He was with an average looking white girl. I almost felt like asking him if he planned on trying to sign somewhere but didnt. Talked vodka for a minute and then he left...Hes actually pretty personable, which surprised me.

He's a servicable deep threat. No one is going to confuse him for Steve Smith or Randy Moss.
