Guess Who's Going to the Pro Bowl
No that's not draftguru151, but rather Redskins long snapper Ethan Albright. When it comes to long snappers he's one of the best, but most of you know him from this. http://www.thephatphree.com/features...2&StoryID=3159
Well now he's going to Hawaii.
Quote:

The long snapper position isn't subject to Pro Bowl voting, so the coaching staffs for each team have to select a snapper if there isn't one among the linemen already chosen. Green Bay's staff will coach the NFC, and Packers special teams coordinator Mike Stock held the same position when Albright joined the Redskins in 2001.

Score:
Ethan Albright - 2
John Madden - 0

That is the funniest letter ever!!!!! I can't believe I never read that.

I remember hearing about him writing to John Madden. Never did I actually read the letter.
That is a ****** hilarious letter.
"Let’s see here, I think that Orlando Pace would be slightly better at jumping intermediate routes than Larry Allen."

I laughed my a$s off reading that, absolutely priceless. I think this was legitamately the hardest ive laughed in a while.
" also noticed that my kick return rating was a 0. I was rated a ******* zero? So you feel that I shouldn’t even receive a 10, or even a 5? You are pretty much saying that I couldn’t even fall forward on a ball kicked in my direction. I would just stand there and let the ball bounce off of my ******* face."

I'm not afraid to admit that I thought he actually wrote it. I really didn't investigate much into it and just assumed it was just an angry ginger who was mad at the world for what god had done to his face. =D

Sigh. I was reading it and I thought about whether or not he had written it a couple of times, but I decided to dismiss the fact that he might not have written it.
Oh well. It was more entertaining thinking he had written it anyway. In the end Turtlepower and I win.

No one still cares about long snappers, unless they 'write' a letter to John Madden that is this funny.
But regardless. Props to Mr. Pontbriand.

The only thing constant the last 10 (or whatever) years in the Redskins is Albright.
I can't recall the last time we had a botched field goal or punt due to a snap.
Props to the Red Snappa.

Red Beard that guys should have been rated a little higher like Awerness come on. How the hell does he get a rating for passing, and coverage. But then again they did get the Awerness rating thing right, he sent a letter to Madden not the game developers EA.
Looks like now they have to make him better since he got into the probowl
