Mark Rypien bet Washington from 1988 to 1993. He then bet the Cleveland Browns, St. Louis Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, and Indianapolis Colts.

Brett Rypien was 8-for-9 with 53 passing backyards and an interception in the Broncos 28-10 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 3. Denver coach Vic Fangio said he saw enough out of Rypien to provide him the start on a brief turn-around.
” Weve had a year and 2 training school with Brett, and we think he deserves an opportunity to see what he can do here as the starter. Aside from the last toss on Sunday– which was a bad throw and a bad read– he played quite good in there, so we wish to see if that can continue,” Fangio stated Tuesday.
