The Skins came out swinging on Sunday. At 1-2, things don’t look quite so bad. Of course, the 4 game stretch in front of us looks tough (Indy, Giants, Titans, and of course the Jags this coming Sunday), but I have every confidence that the Skins can emerge from it’s first 7 games with a … Read more
I’ve been converted, I am now a believer. Whereas I once knew nothing, I now know everything. I am referring, of course, to Antwaan Randle-El. Before the offseason, I knew about as much of Randle-El as the rest of the country did. I knew he was a converted quarterback, I knew that he could run, … Read more

Well think again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m disappointed that we lost yesterday. Dallas is a big game. … Read more
