Finally! I’m not sure what’s more overrated and overhyped, the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, or the NFL pre-season. Both are endlessly analyzed by the media, portrayed as sure signs and indicators of the future, painted in epic and historic terms, all before anything is really decided.
What can we learn from the Redskins pre-season. They [...]
There are times when it seems the greatest tragedy for fans is when their teams lose on Sunday. Every once in a while, things happen that remind us that there are things more important than football. Last season, Sean Taylor’s death taught us that.
This week there were two notable deaths from cancer. Gene Upshaw died [...]
ESPN provides an article with speculations about whether or not this will be a breakout season for Jason Campbell.
Certainly, a healthy Santana Moss is important for the Redskins’ sucess this year. If Moss can have a dominant year catching screen passes from Mark Brunell, imagine what his numbers could be catching passes from a quarterback [...]
Jason Reid asks how good the Redskins will be.

There’s just one little problem. It’s the pre-season!

Wait a minute, did I just infer that a Redskins SuperBowl run somehow depends on Carlos Rogers? [...]
Eli Manning was wondering aloud if the Giants SuperBowl run was a flash in the pan, or an indication that the Giants would be a formidable opponent to be feared in future years.
“I want to know why we weren’t more consistent last season,” Manning said. “Why did we have to wait for those last five games [...]
Delivering yesterday’s Redskins news a day late.
In scanning my google reader, the following stories jump out for comment. Don’t know if you’ve seen them or not.
Jason Taylor back in Practice: Jason Taylor is back in practice and apparently put on quite a show. The defensive coaches seem relatively impressed, although if I hear one more [...]
Check out this interesting article on Wikipedia, summarizing the Redskins and Cowboys rivalry over the years. One excerpt:
On December 19, 2005, Dallas Mavericks guard Darrell Armstrong was fined $1,000 for grabbing a microphone before a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the American Airlines Center and yelling “How ’bout those Redskins!” Only a few [...]
An excellent way to start out the highlights category, with a montage of our recent success in beating the Cowboys. This clip has the winning field goal after Sean Taylor returned the blocked kick, as well as the bomb to Santana Moss in that classic fourth quarter comeback in Dallas. There’s also a classic shot [...]
