Redskins Spend $181 Poopillion While I Sleep

I was going to wait until one of the other shitboxes who supposedly post on this site did so, but then I opened up the Washington Post this morning. Turns out the Redskins spent another poopillion dollars while I was sleeping, bringing the grand total in the last 24 hours to... well, basically this:



Holy anal sex, batman! After grabbing Albert Haynesworth and resigning D'Angelo Hall, the Redskins brought back offensive guard Derrick Dockery for what can modestly be called Scrooge McDuck money. The funny part about (re-)adding Dockery is supplied by the excellent folks at the Washington Post's Redskins Insider blog:

Buffalo and Detroit had agreed to a trade Thursday with Detroit willing to pick up the rest of Dockery's 7-year, $49 million contract and to guarantee the 2009 and 2010 portions of that deal. However, the Bills failed to file the necessary paperwork with the NFL Management Council by the 4 p.m. deadline, according to a league source, and, rather than pay Dockery $4.5 million for this year, the Bills allowed him to become a free agent.

The Lions were still willing to pick up the remainder of the deal with the two guaranteed years and Dockery, who spent today in Detroit, was close to accepting their deal. However, tonight he decided to take the Skins' deal, which will pay him $3.5 million less over the duration of the deal.

To sum up, the Bills, the team which lost a draft pick a few years back because they didn't turn in their pick within the required time limit, forgot (?) to file the appropriate trade papers by the deadline, leading me to ask the question: Are the Bills run by my mom? Further strangifying this is that Dockery decided to take less money to play in Washington.

I can't believe I just typed that.

1. Dockery took less money to not play in Detroit, not to play in Washington per se.

2. It was the Vikings, not the Bills, who didn't get their little draft card in on time.
