No one on the corner has swagger like Laron Landry

By Chris Chase

Redskins players were feeling predictably good following their 23-17 victory today in Philadelphia. It was the second straight NFC East road victory for the team, which now moves to 4-1 on the young season. During interviews with the local D.C. sports station, Chris Cooley, Clinton Portis and Fred Smoot were all smiles. Initially it looked like they were just happy with the win, but it's quite possible they were just laughing at Laron Landry's wardrobe.

In his post-game interview with Comcast SportsNet, the second-year safety rocked a brightly-colored, rolled-up flannel shirt and a bevy of necklaces and bracelets that made him look like a cross between The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and a contestant on Project Runway. (Michael Kors thought Landry looked like a lumberjack on his way to Disney World, while Heidi Klum said when he first walked down the runway, she thought Laron was wearing couch upholstery.)

The highlights of the LSU product's wardrobe were the two chains he sported. One looked like a pink and yellow doughnut and read "L30", a reference to his initials and uniform number. The other was bling in the shape of Louisiana; I repeat, bling in the shape of Louisiana.

By the way, you might not be surprised to hear that Landry drives a lime-green Lamborghini around town. Clashing, apparently, is not a concern for L30.

    Gruden sucks. Overrated. If it weren't for Monty, that team would really suck. The offense is always second fiddle to their defense. Couldn't move the ball on the Broncos?? Pathetic...

    It seems to me they give the officials to much power, i thought i was watching touch football with some of the calls i saw in todays game, especially the ravens and pittsburgh games where they were called for personal fouls for for late hit's and hits to the helment i guess they expect these guys to stop in mid air.

    It amazes me that Lamborghini would make a lime green model, even for special order. Where is their pride?

    If I had money I might have a green Lambo but it wouldnt be the first car I bought. Skins are overrated guys sorry. They arent a Superbowl team. Philly could have won today if McNabb had stepped up. And if my Boys dont step up and crush the Skins later I know the Giants will.

    Landry is the bomb. And as for #10 we beat your girls and the beagles. We were the better team and on the road in both games. As for philly coulda winning they didn't. Props to the Skins for winning the close ones. We are for real and will be 7-1 in a few.

    Hey Texas they stomped your "boys" in your house,. They spotted the Eagles 14 points and then ran over them on the road. I hope the odds makers keep making them huge underdogs because it just fires them up. Your "boys" barely squeked by the woeful Bengals

    The Redskins are better than a lot of teams right now because they know who and what they are. They are a team that moves the chains and stops the run. They can even win, like they did on Sunday, when one of their star players -- wide receiver Santana Moss -- doesn't catch a pass. (He didn't complain, either.)
    The Redskins are better than a lot of teams because they believe in their legitimacy, even if others don't.
    From an article at NFL.com by writer Steve Wyche. I would have to agree! HAIL, GO SKINS!!! Landry can wear a potato sack for all I care, just keep winning.

    Dude is like 20-something. So what if he looks like a lumberjack? All I care about is he makes plays on the field and stays out of legal trouble. I bet if you were a WR down the middle and Laron was coming after you, you won't snicker at his fashion sense :-)

    I didn't realize so many FOOTBALL FANS cared so much about fashion. Oh! Now that I read further most comments were made by Cowboy fans, that makes sense.
    Dear Cowboy fans:
    We won and you lost, in your house and we both know the score was not indicative of how the game was played. Don't tell me that we are not SuperBowl contenders, you have no place. We may not be contenders, so if we are not, what does that make you? Win one playoff game Dallas, ONE! Then I'll listen.
