Video: Dead Tree Crew Documentary

November 22, 2008 in Videos

By now you are probably familiar with the Dead Tree Crew, the hard partying, rabid fans of the Washington Redskins. They had a film crew come out for the first tailgate of the 2008 season and put it up on YouTube. It’s a new season and new NFL code of conduct but the DTC still demonstrates that they still abide by their motto of “Go Hard or Go Home”

The film was shot and produced by Josh Sautter. Sautter is an American University Film student who is making a documentary on tailgating at FedEx Field and follows the DTC to each and every game. The final flim will be about everything Redskins tailgating, not just the activities of the Dead Tree Crew. Since the DTC allows Josh full access for every game he is also putting together highlight reels from each game. In the coming weeks more videos are coming with interviews with Michael Wilbon, Dan Steinberg, Clinton Portis and Steven A Smith, all being asked about the DTC.

Weekend Wrap #26: Bringing It To London Edition

August 24, 2008 in Tailgating Ideas

news_wrap.jpgAfter overdosing on Olympics for the past two weeks I think I need another four years just to recoup. China hands the torch to Great Britain for the next Olympiad with a wintery stop over in Vancouver two years from. I wonder if there will be any tailgating for the Vancouver Winter Olympics? Sounds like a great excuse for a TailgatingIdeas.com road trip. While I keep dreaming of tailgating outside the women’s ski jumping facility here are some news and blogs stories that you may have missed this past week.

Exclusive Interview With The Mayor Of FedEx Field

August 3, 2008 in Videos

The Mayor of FedEx FieldLove him or hate him, you have to admit that when you think of the Mayor of FedEx Field and the Dead Tree Crew, you immediately think of tailgating. The Dead Tree Crew (the DTC as they have abbreviated it) has been the subject of write-up in Deadspin, Mr Irrelevant, videos on YouTube and in January the DTC was the opening feature on HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumble. The Dead Tree Crew’s tailgating style may be controversial and their reputation is not always the kindest but it is undeniable they have a passion for the Washington Redskins and tailgating.

I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with one of the leaders of the DTC, Chris Ferrarese, who calls himself The Mayor of FedEx Field. In this exclusive interview, The Mayor was in Canton, Ohio for Hall of Fame weekend and discusses why the DTC dislikes Eagles fans the most, the fallout of being the focus of an HBO piece and how he envisions himself wearing a pig nose and a flowered dress five years from now.
