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.

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.
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 [...]
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. [...]
In order to hold on to that lead in Pennsylvania, Joe Biden will be making an appearance with the World Series Champions Philadelphia Phillies.
Does anyone know what the Philly Phanatic’s position on Iraq is?
On Fox News Sunday conservative columnist Bill Kristol said that Obama is the Tampa Rays, while John McCain is the Red Sox. Their fates in the ALCS were linked, he said…
Item!
Down to their last chance, the Tampa Bay Rays left no doubt they were World Series-worthy, after all. The young Rays completed a stunning [...]
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.
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.
Finally a reason to watch hockey.
Although many Philadelphia Flyers fans cheered and clapped as Sarah Palin took to the ice at the Wachovia Center on Saturday night to drop the ceremonial puck kicking off this town’s NHL season, their warm reception was no match for the 90 seconds of sustained booing that rumbled through the [...]
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Here’s hoping a loss to the Redskins starts a death spiral for the Cowboys this season.
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.
This is me versus my best friend in Madden. I’m the ‘Skins, of course.
EA SPORTS World: Madden 09 Video Highlight
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 [...]
* 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 [...]
Very interesting interpretation of China’s concept of the collective via the lens of the Olympics. My guess is that the U.S. version of this would more likely focus on the athlete’s internal struggle and dialogue (and Gatorade and Nike have had ads with that theme).
The mainstream press scratches its head and can’t figure out why.
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.
Give our girls the gold!
Olympic gold and bronze medal winning wrestler Rulon Gardner shows former Giants running back and NBC correspondent who the man really is with a quick lift up on his shoulder during MSNBC’s Olympic coverage. Sweet.
If you’re watching the Olympics, you just saw Jason Lezak anchor an awesome come by behind victory for the men in the 4×100 Freestyle swimming event. Awe-some.
And they beat some French trashtalkers.
Don’t people understand that the Gods of sport are not to be trifled with?
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.

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 [...]
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.
Very interesting survey that sort of confirms the low regard I have for guys like Terrell Owens and Randy Moss. (via)
Bret Favre giving up on that retirement thing? Come on.
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 [...]
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 [...]
For some reason, Jamaica is really good at track and field.
The Reebok Grand Prix meet took place at Randalls Island on Saturday night, but it was a home crowd for Jamaica’s newest sprint star at 100 meters, Usain Bolt.
And the 6,490 fans were greeted with a stunning performance as Bolt set a world record in [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Santana Moss is having a birthday blowout.
This confrontation between Deadspin’s Will Leitch and old school writer Buzz Bissinger is making the rounds in the sports blog world. The old media folks just don’t come off well. Calling interesting media “mean” is just such a crutch.
What’s the matter with India?
The Washington Redskins cheerleaders were brought in to show India’s cricket fans how to shake their pompoms — but not everyone was impressed.
The New Delhi team said Wednesday it was switching its cheerleaders for a band of drummers. Mumbai politicians have forced theirs to cover up, saying their performances were lewd [...]
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 [...]
[Nelson]Ha! Ha! We’re laughing at the NHL![/Nelson]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

That Kobe, watch out. (via)
Every March I wonder this. I am admittedly not a basketball fan, and if I do watch I watch a pro game over a college one. But every March the hype machine goes to 11, people fill out brackets (something I’ve never done) and a school or two makes it further than they should as [...]
Bush, like Cheney, was booed throwing out the opening pitch for the Nationals. Disliking the president is the new national pastime.
There will be blood.
Jason Reid has confirmed that the Redskins and New York Giants will play in the NFL season opener Thursday (Sept. 4) at Giants Stadium. An official announcement is expected to come Monday at the annual owners’ meetings in Florida.
From Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s blog on the LATimes.com:
One of the common myths about me was repeated last week when a friend of mine was playing in his weekly basketball league and a teammate asked him, “Why was Kareem always so angry?” That’s not the first time I heard this charge. What’s weird about it is that [...]
The Redskins cut WR Brandon Lloyd. I caught almost as many passes as he did last year.
