Missing Bloggers Report: Skinsaphrenia

Disappearing act

As long as Curly R is going to shout out to producing blogs, Redskins and otherwise, we also want to draw attention to our colleagues that have gone by the wayside, regular or promising blogs that have ended, in some cases just... disappeared. Perhaps a few of these authors will touch base with us, pen a guest post or maybe even be shamed into resuming their fine work, in the world of the Redskins more voices is more better.

Our inaugural Missing Bloggers Report is on Skinsaphrenia. Started in May of 2006 by David Gaines, three months before Will Allensworth started Hogs Haven and I started Curly R, I was a regular reader of David's, he covered anything and everything and by no means was limited to football happenings nor was he a bootlicker, he had his own opinion and agenda.

Skinsaphrenia published 191 pieces over 22 months, ending in March of 2007. David's final piece was on rumors swirling over the 2007 draft, with the Redskins talking about JaMarcus Russell and Lance Briggs.

Wherever you are David I hope you are doing well, you are always welcome around these parts.
