DC Radio: John Riggins Returns To ESPN 980


Red Zebra Broadcasting has announced the addition of Hall of Famer John Riggins to the official Washington Redskins Pregame Show.

The legendary Riggins (@Riggo44) led Washington to their first Super Bowl championship during the 1982 season, setting NFL postseason records while rumbling to 625 yards in four playoff games. Riggins piled up 7,472 rushing yards in Washington from 1976 to 1985, the most in franchise history. The iconic Redskins running back was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992.

Offers the Hall of Famer, “I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God, well, most of the time…. maybe…. I think. Oh, yeah, El Riggo is back. And, that means the circus is back in town!!!”

For all 2016 home games, fans can watch Redskins Radio’s Pregame Show with Sheehan (@kevins980) and Riggins live from the Bud Light Pavilion at Fed Ex Field beginning three hours before kickoff.

Additionally, the charismatic Riggins will be featured on ESPN 980’s programming throughout the NFL season.

ESPN 980 remains the long-time flagship home of the Washington Redskins Radio Network. Burgundy and gold fans can hear Larry Michael, Pro Football Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen, Cooley and Walker for call all of the action during live game broadcasts all season long.
