Of course, the weather folks around here are giddy, almost hyperventilating at the thought 🙂 Snow is not something we get to see very often. I mean, there was that blizzard back in 1980, when folks who went to the circus got stuck in the … Continue reading Let it snow!
The Washington Redskins lost their playoff game yesterday to the Seattle Seahawks, in a game in which we saw star rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III go down.

I ran across this article today about former Redskin Tre Johnson. We don't often hear about pro players after their careers end, unless it is something negative. Johnson's story is far from that. I always understood that lineman were pretty smart, if not the smartest players on the field. Johnson, after obtaining undergraduate and graduate … Continue reading Life after football: Tre Johnson
Besides all the good food, the best part of Thanksgiving Day was the Washington Redskins defeating the Dallas Cowboys. And the 38-31 victory took place in Dallas, no less 🙂 Supposedly, this puts the 'Skins back in the playoff hunt but I'm not that optimistic.
