You don't want it. You don't need it. But you're going to get it anyway. The Kevin

Shein Show. Here's Kevin. So I'm putting this podcast out today. It's a part one of a two-part interview that I did with Mike Richmond.

Mike's an author, longtime skins historian. He wrote a book about Joe Gibbs, he wrote the Redskins Encyclopedia, and the book

that just came out this week that Mike authored is called George Allen a football

life. It is the book about George Allen, the second greatest coach in

franchise history after Joe Gibbs and I believe the man responsible for creating the passion that really still exists today,

lesser form than maybe 10 years ago because of what we've gone through as a fan base

with Dan Snyder. But but George Allen when he arrived in

1971 the team was a popular team but it wasn't the sports entity in town that it became when George Allen got here and

started to win. Mike has this book out. You can find the book anywhere you get a book. You can go to

Mike Richmondjournalist.com to get a signed copy of the book. So for some of you

maybe not for all of you but I think for some of you of a certain age,

I think you'll enjoy kind of the story of George Allen, the stories that Mike told me.

And because we ended up talking for a much longer period of time than I had

anticipated I'm splitting it up into two parts part one today on Saturday

November 4th and next Saturday on November 11th on

November 11th. I'll put the second part out.

But I think you'll enjoy it.

And I started off by asking Mike if he agreed that George Allen is really the beginning of this passionate

following that followed, you know, his arrival in DC and 71 or did he think that the passion existed

you know with during the sunny jurgensen years during the 60s when they were

great offensively but they didn't win.
