Redskins fire G.M. … Just hours after the start of the new NFL season, Washington announced that G.M. Scot McCloughan has been dismissed. The league has been abuzz the past few weeks since McCloughlan didn’t attend the scouting combine last. His absence was explained as because of a death in his family, but he then wasn’t in the office this week.
