Yes, it was just a preseason game. But it sure felt good to watch - and cheer - the Washington Redskins as they defeated the Buffalo Bills. I actually missed the start of the game. When I turned on the TV, the Skins were down 0-3. That didn't last, as they went on to score … Continue reading Redskins 42, Bills 17

AP/VP: Oops
The headline was right, but there was a little problem with the score. Colts 31, Saints 17 I wish! The story was from the AP so I don't know whether it was wrong in the story or whether somebody at the Virginian-Pilot messed up. In any case, it's not Dewey defeats Truman but close 😉 … Continue reading AP/VP: Oops
Super Sunday
The New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts face off today in Super Bowl XLIV. It's been two weeks since the teams won their respective conferences and I have to say, the least hyped Super Bowl I can remember. Or maybe it's because my attention has been focused elsewhere. In any event, I'm looking forward … Continue reading Super Sunday
Super Bowl XLIV: Saints versus Colts

The team heads to the Super Bowl for the first time in its 43-year existence. They face the Indianapolis Colts, who earlier in the day, defeated … Continue reading Super Bowl XLIV: Saints versus Colts

And so it ends: Redskins 4-12
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the Washington Redskins ended their season with a dismal 4-12 record. The Jim Zorn era as coach also comes to a close as the AP reports what the rest of us have known for some time. Zorn, who was brought in as a first-time offensive coordinator and was … Continue reading And so it ends: Redskins 4-12
Cerrato out, Allen in
The news out of Redskins Park is that Vinny Cerrato, executive VP of football operations, has resigned. In his place will be Bruce Allen, son of former Redskins coach George Allen, who will also be general manager. This is, of course, the first of many moves the Redskins will be making. I fully expect that … Continue reading Cerrato out, Allen in
A Redskins win
The Washington Redskins managed to grab a lead and hold onto it yesterday in 34-13 win over the Oakland Raiders. It's been a long time between wins for this 4-9 team. It would have been nice to see: I missed most of the game because I had visitors. I caught a play here and there. … Continue reading A Redskins win
