The Washington Redskins are a team that has had their share of issues over the past decade, and on Wednesday they added to that list when general manager Scot McCloughan's wife publicly apologized for posting "disparaging" comments about an ESPN reporter, according to the Associated Press.

The posting made by Jessica McCloughan said that ESPN reporter Dianna Russini used sexual favors to get stories. The original posting of McCloughan's tweet can be found here.

McCloughan's posting was directed at Russini, who had broken the story that Robert Griffin III will be a backup to Kirk Cousins. In a statement, McCloughan said, "I deeply apologize for the disparaging remarks about an ESPN reporter on my personal Twitter account. The comment was unfounded and inappropriate, and I have the utmost respect for both the reporter and ESPN. I regret that my actions have brought undeserved negative attention to the Redskins organization and its leadership. My comments in no way reflect the opinions or attitudes of the organization and I regret that my behavior has in any way negatively impacted the team and its loyal fan base," via ESPN.

McCloughan's Twitter account was taken down Wednesday afternoon likely in an organization decision. Redskins Senior Vice President Tony Wyllie told NBC Sports that McCloughan did not write the tweet and that it came from a fake account. The story of a fake account has been pushed to the side since the apology. This is just a long list of problems that has continued under Daniel Snyder since he took over as owner in 1999.

The Redskins have started 16 different quarterbacks since 1999 and have had eight different coaches since Snyder began his ownership of the team. In February, head coach Jay Gruden named Robert Griffin III the starter, according to ESPN reporter John Keim. On Monday, Gruden decided that Cousins would be the starter come week one, according to NFL reporter Kevin Patra. This is just another problem that shows the mess that is the Redskins organization.

The Redskins will likely need a strong season for this to pass over, and looking at their team and the competition in the NFC East, it seems highly improbable.
