So, these tidbits are being combined with my game analysis. And really, what else do I have to provide other than tidbits from section 449? 1st of all, my buddy Ryan reported late to our meeting place. We were supposed to meet at 10:45. He was delayed because he got caught behind the Cardinals bus [...]

Week 2 preview

There’s a lot of people who are rooting for Rex Grossman to fail: Bears fans, NFL experts and fans of the other teams in the NFC East. We know why the last group is. Experts want to sound smart and most of them predicted the Redskins to be terrible this year and finish with records [...]
JJ’s out, but now who’s in?

Jarvis Jenkins being out for the season is indeed bad news. Yes, forget all the JJ references, me yelling “Dynomite” from the middle of section 449 every time he made a big play this year. Even more important, JJ will be missed sorely on the defensive front where it looked like he had played himself [...]
Moral victory

Amid the Nats struggling to gain footing during the dog days of summer, my departure from the country, word that the Caps dressing room was too relaxed and that Ovie did not take keeping himself in shape seriously, my favorite college basketball team getting into a melee with a Chinese basketball team and the constant [...]
The show is over

Getting rid of Haynsie and McNabb not only reflected on Shanalahan’s ability to deal, it also most importantly prevented the 2-ring circus which would have been training camp today in Ashburn if either or both were still on this team. Instead, Kelli Johnson LaVar and Dukes and anyone from ESPN (who probably won’t be coming [...]
The curse is reversed?

One of the worst mistakes made by the Redskins, among many, these past 10 years happened when we did not re-sign Antonio Pierce for what he was worth in 2005. What happened? He went to New York, in the prime of his career and helped the Giants not only beat us all the time, but [...]
300 pound wish list

Yesterday, I think everyone got very excited about the owners saying yes to the proposed CBA. Everyone got very excited. But at the end of the day, the players are not in a rush to sign squat. “Why?” you may ask. Well because, they get paid only for game checks, (17 times per year), not [...]
Teams that are playing

The Nats enter the all-star break at .500. The glass half-empty look is that the Nats are 8 games behind Atlanta for the Wild-Card and too far back to measure from Philly. (Did anyone else realize that the National League East is the best division in the National League and may the be the best [...]
Way too much vision

As I like to focus primarily on teams that are playing games, I will start with the Nats. At this point, this team seems incapable of winning more than one game in a row since they are just not getting any kind of hitting at all. Add to that the comedy of errors which this [...]
Treason

It’s funny that just as I write that the Nats solid pitching and excellent defense will be the key factors that will allow them to continue playing good baseball, the team goes out and has two games where the starting pitching is average at best, the bullpen implodes and our defense is a disaster. I [...]
