NFL News

The Marion Barber Show

Apparently, as penance for my candidate winning by historic margins, I am doomed to see my team get punked in prime-time back to back while also giving away games they should win.
Gah! I hate Dallas so hard.

The Norv Turner Effect

A few years ago the Chargers were among the elite of the AFC, on the verge of being a Superbowl team. Now, they are 4-6.
This is what happens when you hire Norv Turner as your head coach.

In Case You Were Wondering

Eff Dallas.
I’m sick of pretty boy Tony Romo in those Sunday Night Football ads that act as if Romo and the Cowboys are playing themselves. I know the Skins are banged up and didn’t do well on Monday Night Football before the bye, but Dallas is coming into our house and as usual have their [...]

Trouble In Big D

I can’t lie, I’m enjoying it.
Owner Jerry Jones doesn’t seem overly concerned with the decline and fall of his Dallas Cowboys, but he should be. Rewind the videotape of a 35-14 waxing by the New York Giants, and you’ll discover why.
The Cowboys couldn’t run. They couldn’t pass. They couldn’t tackle. They barely defended the pass. [...]

The Silence In Detroit

In years now, I have not heard a stadium as silent in the NFL as Detroit’s. Even when they were ahead of the Redskins - there was hardly a sound there. Even in seasons when the Skins have been putrid, and there have been a few in the last decade in a half, never was [...]

Skins Of Their Teeth

The Redskins dominate the Browns all game, but neglect to score and then keep them in the game late. This is the kind of game that has fans like me reaching for the Pepto. But still a win.
5-2, Zornado!
ALSO: Dallas now officially in death spiral. Who started it? Oh yeah.

Does Hugh Hewitt Understand Football?

Hewitt:
Obama was in the prevent defense mode, and McCain moved the ball a long way down the field.
As a football fan, I hate the “prevent”, but prevent is almost always being used by the winning team.

Video As Metaphor For Redskins’ Last Game

Failure.

TRAP GAME

Jesus H., trap game.
The Redskins went from not getting respect last week to believing the hype this week. Any given Sunday, gentlemen.
4-2. ARGH.

4-1: The Zorning

How about them Redskins? How about the Eagles starting 14-0 then getting punked for the rest of the game? And how about Andy Reid calling for the worst replay ever?
HAIL TO THE SKINS.

Fantasy Football Question

I have both Jason Campbell and Peyton Manning on my fantasy team. I’ve started Manning every week but last week due to the bye, and of course Campbell has had a great season so far (Manning is good, but not traditional Peyton Manning good). I’m trying to silence my inner fanboy and make a rational [...]

No Respect

WR Santana Moss laughs at the haters (#2 in receptions for the league so far)
9 out ESPN’s 10 “experts” have picked the Eagles to defeat the Redskins on Sunday. And I like it! It often seems where the NFC East is concerned that when they go on a streak the media is quick to declare [...]

T.O. Meltdown Watch: Gimme The Damn Ball, Tony!

The spoiled one had a deep conversation with Tony Romo. What T.O. isn’t acknowledging is that the Redskins defense shut his butt down for most of the first half of the game. The Cowboys tried to get the ball to him, but he just wasn’t good enough to make it happen.
Santana Moss shows what a [...]

Terrell Owens Starts Up The Waaaahmbulance

Here’s hoping a loss to the Redskins starts a death spiral for the Cowboys this season.

Redskins Go Into Dallas’ House And Win

HAIL, BABY, HAIL

This Jim Zorn guy. He’s not so bad.
And Jason Campbell is looking good. Real good.

- Wanna beat Dallas today?
- Yeah coach.
- Go do it.
- Ok, coach.

Burn!

This is me versus my best friend in Madden. I’m the ‘Skins, of course.

EA SPORTS World: Madden 09 Video Highlight

Redskins FTW (2-1)

A pretty decent outing from the Redskins. The offense from the first game now looks like early season jitters. Jason Campbell finally has realized that when the lane is wide open and the wideouts covered, its okay for him to run with the ball (to the tune of 26 yards today). I think the defense [...]

His Only Mistake Is The Team He Backs

On Sunday afternoons, Sen. Obama is America’s go-to guy for gridiron action.
People would rather watch a football game with Barack Obama than with John McCain — but by barely the length of a football.
Obama was the pick over McCain by a narrow 50 percent to 47 percent, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll released [...]

Things We Know About The Redskins After 2 Games (1-1)

* Jason Campbell needs to commit to passing quicker or just running with the ball. He’s holding on too long.
* The defense is pretty good. Not awesome. But good.
* The offense needs a lot of work. I still don’t know if its the players or the coaching to blame. But it needs fine tuning.
* My [...]

Game On 2008

What you got coach? Let’s bring it.

Update: FAIL. Not EPIC FAIL. But Fail nonetheless.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Skins! Giants! Tomorrow night!
YES!!!!

Certificate Of Participation

The New England Patriots make up a perfect season ring for themselves, even though their season was merely near-perfect and not perfect — as anyone who watched the Super Bowl can tell you.

Fantasy Football

I have about 3 slots in my league left, draft is in 7 days. Anyone interested email me.

The Bret Favre Show?

Am I the only one who has found the constant BRET FAVRE UPDATE during the Hall Of Fame Game amazingly annoying? I know its preseason and they’ve got to pad to make up for what is a meaningless game, but oh my God, I really don’t care that OMG BRET FAVRE’S PLANE IS LANDING.
Give it [...]

FINALLY.

He’s #81 in your playbook, but you can refer to him from now on as Hall of Famer Art Monk.
Former Washington Redskins teammates Art Monk and Darrell Green are among the six players who are about to be enshrined at Canton, Ohio.
Monk won three Super Bowls with the Redskins and was the NFL’s single-season receptions [...]

Return Of Bret Favre

Favre has faxed a reinstatement letter to the NFL. I hope once he comes back he falls flat on his face. What should have been a top athelete going off into the sunset turns out to be just another spoiled brat.

Football “Intelligence” By Position

Very interesting survey that sort of confirms the low regard I have for guys like Terrell Owens and Randy Moss. (via)

If True, Fail

Bret Favre giving up on that retirement thing? Come on.

Cowboys Prep All-Felon Team

Some things remain the same.
The Cowboys have been America’s Team for three decades. Now it seems like they’re building America’s Most Wanted’s team.
It wasn’t enough for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to bring in Terrell Owens when Owens was considered the most selfish player in the NFL. He had to bring in serial gun nut Tank [...]

Withdrawal Sucks

I don’t care about the NHL.
I could give a crap about the Lakers-Celtics series.
I couldn’t be less interested in the Nationals or the O’s.
I WANT FOOTBALL BACK! SWEET JESUS, THEY GIVE US 19 WEEKS OF GLORY AND THEN ITS GONE FOR THE LONGEST TIME. I don’t care what Tony Romo is doing with Jessica Simpson [...]

Arlen Specter: Extensive Spying By Cheating Patriots*

The cheating characterization is mine. I confess that I think congress has no reason to be involved in this and its pretty stupid for them to be in the middle of it. But they are and so we have this:

After meeting with a former New England Patriots employee who helped the team spy on opponents, [...]

Election Preview Via NFL

Viewed through my eyes, the likely Clinton wins in West Virginia and Kentucky are sort of like the touchdowns scored by John Elway in Superbowl XXII. They were nice and all, but they ignore the fact that this happened. For our purposes Barack Obama = Doug Williams.

More Videotapes Show New England Patriots Cheating

I wonder if this could ever rise to the level of stripping the Patriots of their titles? At the very least I think the official record book should have a Roger Maris style asterisk. *
Former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh sent the NFL eight videotapes that show New England violated league rules by recording opposing [...]

Clinton Portis Eats Gunpowder In His Eggs

The Redskins still have the weirdest running back in the league.

The “Experts”: ESPN Draft Edition

Grog say Havertini a steal in third round!!!
One of the great things the world of the Internet and blogs has brought us is a large needle with which to deflate the self appointed experts in the press. This deflation usually occurs by researching what they say. In this case ESPN’s draft experts did no better [...]

NFL Draft Observation

When the Patriots made their pick, the boos were so loud they drowned out the TV announcers and almost everything else. Have the New England Cheaters now officially overtaken the Cowboys as the team everyone else in the league hates? I know Cowboy hatred well, but for all the dirty play, drugs, and arrogance that [...]

Once A Year, Baby


NFL Draft: Riggo’s Pick

He thinks the Redskins will pick Limas Sweed at #21. I do hope they pick a wide receiver because more than anything the passing game nearly kept them out of the playoffs last season. Santana Moss can only do so much and while Antwaan Randle El has his moments he isn’t a go-to spectacular guy [...]

Redskins Cheerleaders Invade India

Give up now.
“The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders, deemed the ‘First Ladies of Football,’ will be traveling to India on April 10th to create the first ever cheerleading squad in that country for cricket’s Royal Challengers Bangalore, part of the new Indian Premier League (IPL), in their inaugural game on April 18th.”
But of course they are.
