Jason La Canfora: Hesher?

Jason La Canfora is now referring to Skins backup quarterback Colt Brennan as “Cult of Colt,” or, as he says in a recent Redskins Insider post, “CoC from here on out, if nothing else a nod to Corrosion of Conformity.”

Is the Post’s Skins beat reporter a secret hesher?

The funny thing is, for all La Canfora’s reported friction with Dan Snyder’s organization, doesn’t Jason La Canfora and (Skins GM) Vinny Cerrato sound like the names of two guys who’d have gone to see Nuclear Assault and Savatage together in 1989?

Finally, I would like to thank him for reminding me to take out Animosity this morning. It still rules.

    I think there should be a separate wing of the R&R Hall of Fame just for Italian-American metal stars.

    I guess you could include Italian-British dudes like Tony Iommi, too.

    I can’t think of an Italian-Canadian metal star.

    Hey brother, thanks for the shout out. Just wanted to add one thing - I am a lifelong metal head (Iron Maiden/Quiet Riot at the Baltimore Civic Center in like 82/83 was my first show) but there’s no closet about it. Metal gods are no strangers on my blog; in fact, it ticks off some of the hardcore, football-only people on my blog, but what the hell.

    I’m listening to Holy Diver on the IPOD in Carolina before the Skins preseason game right now. If my daughter Chloe (3 1/2), knows you well enough, and she’s in the right mood, and you give her a, “For those about to rock … ” she will stomp her foot, attempt a devil horn (we’ve got some work to do in that department), and respond, “We saaaluuute you!” in kind.

    Anthrax, Slayer, Suicidal, DRI, Pantera. At my core maybe I’m more of a punk/hardcore guy than a straight metalhead, but I digress. Thanks for reading. Keep on rocking.

    Cheers.

    IF YOU WERE TRULY HEAVY, YOU WOULD CHANGE THE NAME OF YOUR BLOG FROM ‘REDSKINS INSIDER’ TO ‘VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER.’
