This review is from: NFL: History of the Washington Redskins (DVD)

Well, being from Chicago naturally I am a Bears fan; however, I am a football fan first and I must say that I loved the "History of the Washington Redskins". The 1st disc is very comprehensive, detailing the history of the Redskins and atmosphere of the Washington, DC area in the 50's and 60's and some good insight on the racism of the times, (the owner refused to have Black men on his team, in fact, the Redskins were the last team to have Black men on their roster). The 2nd disc has interviews with prominent Redskin players, Theismann and particularly one of my all time favorite backs Mr. John Riggins!

This is a great dvd set of the Washington Redskins! Now, if NFL Networks would only produce the Minnesota Vikings, the Houston Oilers, the Buffalo Bills and the San Diego Chargers "History of", I would be in football heaven!!

Great item! Go buy!

This review is from: NFL: History of the Washington Redskins (DVD)

I became a Redskin fan back in 1981. So my recollection of being a Skins fan were the two Joe Gibbs stints, and the coaches in between. This DVD made know more about Redskins greats like Sammy Baugh, Sonny Jergesen, Larry Brown, Bobby Mitchell, and the late great coach George Allen. I love the 2 and a half hour documentary on disc 1. Awesome! I only wish there was more extras on disc 2, but it was still descent. Redskins fans, get this DVD today!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overview, September 3, 2010

I have to be honest. My interest in the Washington Redskins stems from living in Washington in the 60s and early 70s. I was hoping for more Norm Snead, Sonny Jurgenson Sam Huff and Bobby Mitchell than was supplied but overall this is an excellent history of the team. The NFL history formula is grossly overproduced but even making the fullest allowance for some of this cringe-worthy production, the history gives a great feel for the Redskins and their relationship to the city of Washington DC
