Almost makes me feel guilty for mocking Driskell’s performance yesterday. Almost.
At least Haskins didn’t shush the crowd.

So the starting QB missing the end of the game screwing around is a non-story? In 35 years watching football, I've never even heard of something like this.

I'm in DC, been listening to local sports radio all morning. They're all getting a good laugh out of it, saying 'lesson learned'. He was expecting the D to run out the clock, but another Driskel INT w/ 6 seconds left forced one additional offensive snap (which is when he was taking the selfie). If he has a good career w/ the skins he'll be a legend for doing that (they're 2-9, nobody here gives a sh*t!). The guy who was in the selfie w/ Haskins has a great story to tell the rest of his life too.

One should ALWAYS expect another Driskell turnover. It is inexcusable.

I think I mentioned this in the Driskell thread in reference to Tebow and his ability to play in the NFL compared to some others still on the roster.

By the year 2025 it’ll be mandatory that quarterbacks carry a camera phone at every game. You’ll be seeing on-the-field selfies with teammates and opponents that are instantly posted on social media. The final score will become anticlimactic to the concept of self-promotion.

Driskel is probably gonna end up having a longer NFL career than Haskins.
The NFL continues to draft these one year starters @ QB and wonder why they fail. This guy, with the O they ran at ohio, was not ready for the NFL.

The only thing that comes close is Rick Mirer buying a hotdog and eating it on the sidelines.

WTF?

Also, I’m grateful that somebody on this board (I forgot who) referenced the meaning of “OK Boomer” last week. Otherwise I’d have no idea what the fan’s tweet meant (Boomer Esiason? He didn’t play for the Redskins.).

Not a Haskins/OSU apologist by any means, but I can give the kid a pass since it was garbage time and he just expected the skins defense to run out the clock...and.. it was just a victory formation snap that he missed. It probably gave the crowd a chance to remember:
"Oh yeah, Keenum's the backup"

The skins have so many other more important issues to worry about than this.
Mainly ... the owner.

Was that Mirer or Sanchez?

It was Mirer. I used to watch a lot of Pro football in the mid 90’s. He bought some dogs from a vendor in the stands and ate them with a couple teammates. Seahawks game. The announcers were incredulous. I think he got fined that week.

Sanchez did it too - But here is the story on Mirer:
