This is getting interesting.
Last night, I put up a post reacting to this front-paged FanPost from Hogs Haven in which the author, Rodskins, recounted his meeting with Redskins DC Jim Haslett.
Of immediate interest were the Skins' lack of interest in Matt Flynn and any QB beyond Andrew Luck and RGIII, the suggestion that the Redskins had at least "already talked with Jeff Fisher about the possibility" of trading up for the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, and the validation of the "Peyton to Washington" rumors.
Well the D.C.-area ESPN radio station spoke with Jim Haslett this hour, and he seemed none to pleased with the story at HH:
"I don't even know the offseason plan..You think I am going to tell some guy I don't even know?...I don't even know the offseason (offensive) plans, so why would I say that?..My (expletive) family wasn't even there.."
As some commenters suggested here in the TST post, this could have well been some of the offseason chicanery that teams play to bluff certain moves to try and entice their opponents to overplay their hand.
On the other hand, if he did indeed disclose this info, that's the exact kind of denial you'd expect him to roll out.
The Super Bowl is over, and Madonna is yet to be released from the underground cage beneath Lucas Oil Stadium.
The offseason absurdity period is here.

And as soon as I write that, I'm hearing that Rodskins, the author of that post at HH, was just on the Mike Wise show on 106.7 The Fan here in D.C. The first zany offseason storyline is here, folks (if you don't count Gronkowski dancing the Super Bowl blues away). Will try and update/find the audio ASAP.
(updated by 3k at 2:20pm ET)
The audio's out (scroll to the bottom), and it's an incredibly interesting interview with Rodskins. Ironically, it would seem that Haslett was naive enough to not think this would get out, and Rodskins was naive enough to think he was just "talking to two or three hundred "friends." God bless the 21st century.

He seems pretty pissed at hogs haven. But I wish he was just puttin on……but I dnt think he was I figured that was bull crap when I read Dc talking about an OC pick. I figured it was crap. I see us and the browns trading. If not then I see us keeping the pick

Ofcourse he denies this! This already puts more value on our #2 pick. Yes!

Exactly the denial hurts us NOT
The value of the pick, which will bounce like a yoyo through out the off season, is increased with the speculation. I’d hate to find out that a respected brother, (Rodskins, whom was probably NOT lying), will get crucified for this. Even if we deal with Cleveland this could possibly add a later round pick into the deal. I know the players aren’t swayed by media reports this early but the body of work of instability at the draft will now include this report.

Don't forget Seattle
they would love to get their wings on RG3. I saw one mock has them trading with MN for RG3. Could we break Ricky Williams record of 8 draft choices for one pick. He even wasn’t picked in the top four picks. He was taken fifth.

"The Super Bowl is over, and Madonna is yet to be released from the underground cage beneath Lucas Oil Stadium."
..and as long as she stays caged and hidden underground the world will be a more safer and happier place. Tell the grounds crew at Lucas Oil Stadium to do whatever they please with her: we won’t tell.
This offseason is going to be CRAAAZAY
Haikus are easy,
but sometimes they don't make sense.

Jimmy boy done leaked the word out. Why don’t you just tell them an offer is already on the table?

Uninformed, unknowledgeable and riding the coattails of past Championships since ’82, ’87, and ’91.

I was thinking about this yesterday; Why would Haslett have anything to do with making personal moves on the offensive side of the ball? Also, you think Peyton wants to play against his brother twice a year? How would they protect him? JCampbell, Donavan & Sexy Rexy have been on the ground for the most part of their Washington careers. Unless sacks cure neck injuries, I don’t know, I’m not a doctor.
P.S. I dislike Mike Wise. He’s not funny even though he thinks he’s big time.
yeah, I'm not big on Mike Wise on radio
He brings down the Junkies every time he comes on

Is it cool if we ban this guy now?
I don’t have the power, for I am just a lowly writer, but it would just be super if one of the editors or managers could do it lol

I bet we win a super bowl before your team does..
Most of us aren’t unknowledgable by the way. Maybe the younger ones are because they have had to watch the crappy product Synder has put out there the last decade. And most of us stopped riding the coattails of those past championships about 5 years ago. And last but definitely not least, Im not a fan of Mike Wise either!
I'd take that bet
in a heart beat. no offense, but have no faith in the Redskins organization w/Snyder in charge

Let's see here...
If the rumor is true that he only wants Luck or III that hurts his negotiating position so he would deny it
If the rumor is false it helps his negotiating position so he would say nothing and let the rumor continue
The #2 pick is therefore more valuable

No. Rodskin is a bar owner I believe
Rodskins, not Rodskin, is the pastor that posted the Has stuff. The fact that his name is close to another more established, albeit quieter member is interesting.
I am on the fence on this. It is possible that it actually happened but it is just as possible that some one is having a laugh.
Of course, if I wanted some one to believe what i am saying, saying I am a pastor would be a good starting point.
Also Rodskins never recanted though he did recount
recanted his meeting with Redskins DC Jim Haslett.
good call
