The premier local pregame show in the country returns on Sunday. I say that because I have seen more pregame shows in more NFL cities than I can count and without question the gold standard is Redskins Kickoff.
What makes it so good is the amount of content and wonderful flow of the show. It is a show for fans of the Redskins but it never loses its objectivity.
