News about Fred Dean

Since the franchise revealed its new pig mascot on Sunday, 'Major Tuddy' could pose a major issue for the Washington Commanders. Despite facing the threat of a lawsuit from former players from the 1980s, Washington revealed a porcine creature as its mascot and named him 'Major Tuddy,' giving him a rank and a slang term for touchdown. During a game at FedEx Field earlier this year, the team revealed its two choices for a potential mascot - a "dog" and a "hog."

On Sunday, the Washington Commanders are set to unveil a new mascot, but online fan voting could result in a court contest between team owner Dan Snyder and former Redskins players. In September, the Commanders revealed the two finalists: a dog and a hog. The issue is that a group of former team members dubbed 'the Hogs' have already trademarked the former option and threatened litigation. Former Washington players from the 1980s are members of an LCC known as O-Line Entertainment, and they are made up of former players from the great Washington squads. Joe Jacoby, Mark May, and Fred Dean, former tight end Doc Walker, and legendary running back John Riggins are among the group's veterans.
