An inside joke was in plain view at the Redskins’ “Welcome Home Luncheon,” draped across the stars of the program.
Each Redskins player who attended wore a Tommy Bahama shirt in a blue or red pastel, resulting in a procession of relaxed sartorial splendor that even caught the attention of team owner Dan Snyder, who commented on the shirts when it was his turn to speak.
The reason for the loose-fitting garb is Paul Kelly, who officially is the Redskins’ director of football operations. That’s a nice way of saying he plans and fixes a long list of things for players and other staff.
