I'm no fair-weather Redskins fan. But these close losses are really hard to take. Last week, it was a 1-point loss to the much hated Dallas Cowboys. And yesterday, it was a 3-point loss to NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. Both losses occurred due to points scored late in the game. While I was … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback: another Skins loss

Redskins win
It's been a long time since the last one but today the Denver Broncos played worse than the Washington Redskins. A win is a win - I'll take it. Still think Dan Snyder needs to go, though.
Choo Choo!
Get'em John 😉 UPDATE: The video has been removed. Below the fold is a transcript that I've seen in a number of places around the internet. JAMES BROWN: John, you have been pretty doggone outspoken on the Washington Redskins and what is not working. Maybe it is an obvious question, but why so passionate? Why … Continue reading Choo Choo!

Politics and football
Sometimes, I'm amazed at how much politics and football are alike. Yes, they are both contact sports, although sometimes politics is more like boxing - with all the bobbing and weaving going on.

Redskins are hopeless
I remember well the rookie year of Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Troy Aikman. The team went 1-15 that year, although Aikman didn't start the one win - his record as a starter was 0-11. But that one win came against my favorite team, the Washington Redskins, who went into the game sporting a 3-2 record. Yesterday, … Continue reading Redskins are hopeless

Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao hit Ricky "Hitman" Hatton with a left hook and took him out in the second round. Watch it while you can 🙂 UPDATE: And, as expected, the video has been removed.
Super Bowl XLIII: who’s going to win?
The Arizona Cardnials and the Pittsburgh Steelers meet Sunday in the 2009 version of the Super Bowl. The sports books have the Steelers favored to win. But if I were a betting person - and I'm not - I'd put my money on the scrappy Cardinals. After all, these guys shouldn't even be here. Plus, … Continue reading Super Bowl XLIII: who’s going to win?
NFL division champs: who?
I know I haven't written much about the NFL this year.

The NFC matchup has the Philadelphia Eagles at the Arizona … Continue reading NFL division champs: who?
