    It turns out "Fast" Willie Parker couldn't leave Washington quickly enough. In a radio interview on Pittsburgh's 93.7 The Fan on Wednesday morning, Parker criticized the Redskins, a team he never played for. "They weren't about football. They were about partying and stuff like that," said Parker. "You appreciate Pittsburgh a little bit more after going somewhere else and seeing what another team has to offer." Parker isn't the first ex-Redskin with Steelers ties to criticize the Washington franchise. Former Redskins and current Steelers S Ryan Clark, and Steelers WR Antwaan Randle El -- in his second stint in Pittsburgh after spending four seasons in Washington -- have unfavorably compared the teams in the past.

    That explains why Big Ben has gotten into trouble with the women.....because they don't party in Pittsburgh. Just admit it Willie, you are pissed you couldn't beat "party boys" for the starting job.

    washinton deserves better than snyder. he ran that franchise into the ground. goes to show just because you have a ton of money doesn't mean you can run a football team correctly.
