THE QUESTION
Did Riggo cross the line?
Will John Riggins' criticism of Daniel Snyder, Vinny Cerrato and Jim Zorn hurt or help his Redskins legacy?

FROM THE PANEL
Riggo being Riggo
When John Riggins was outspoken and even embarrassing folks would give him a pass. That legacy is not only intact, it's growing.

Vinny Cerrato Defends Daniel Snyder
Vinny Cerrato took to the airwaves on his radio show Friday morning to defend his boss from Riggins's charges of having a dark heart.

Riggo doesn't know
John Riggins was a great Washington Redskin. Now he's an entertainer, a great listener but not an insider.

Riggins has earned the right
The question if Riggins crossed the line is pretty much moot, because he left that checkpoint in his rear view mirror years ago.

Riggo overstepped
Except in the eyes of the most rabid Redskins fans, John Riggins' rant will hurt his legacy.

Riggo is right
I don't have to listen to John Riggins to dislike Daniel Snyder.

Who cares what Riggo thinks?
When was the last time John Riggins said something meaningful or insightful about anything? "Loosen up, Sandy, baby" doesn't count.

Legacy untouchable
He's John Riggins. The Diesel. Big John. Riggo. That will never change. Never.
