By now you have surely seen, or heard about the Monday Night Football gaffe that cost the Green Bay Packers the game against the Seattle Seahawks, If you haven’t, you really need to, so here is a link.
The NFL just announced that they supported the decision last night, that the Seattle Seahawk receiver actually caught a touchdown pass, and that the Seahawks deserved to win the game.

It isn’t just the fans in #RedskinsNation that are pawing over their new quarterback, and gushing about his every move, even the ‘experts’ can’t keep their hands to themselves.
John Madden decided to wax poetic to Sirius XM NFL radio yesterday about how Griffin was, “… the best player in the NFL today.”
Seen the new Sports Illustrated yet? I know this might be hard to believe, but it has RGIII on it!! This is the cover of the East Coast Edition. Jason Campbell was the last Redskins player to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated – in August of 2009. HTTR Follow me on Twitter … Read more

Remember when you were a wee lad and your running joke when somebody would say, “I feel like a million bucks,” was to quickly quip, “Yeah! All green and wrinkly! Nanny nanny poo poo.”
Well I’m all green and wrinkly this week, because I feel like a million bucks. Less than 48 hours removed from the 2012 Washington Redskins opener, and the debut of one Robert Griffin III, I STILL can’t get the smile off of my face.
Let me first clarify something, I am not an optimist – at least not by nature. I’m much more of a pragmatist with a hint of realism for the most part.

Here are some of the more interesting, and/or poignant numbers and statistics from the Washington Redskins impressive 40-32 victory over the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome: 464 – Total yards of offense for the Redskins. Not a bad debut for an offense that contains a lot of new pieces and had several question marks. … Read more
The Washington Redskins, and all other NFL teams, had until 9 pm last night to name their 53-man roster. As of 11pm, the Redskins had still only named 52 players. Obviously they have a certain player or position in mind, so they left a spot open, rather than have to juggle again later when that aforementioned player is acquired.
So I guess it isn’t a ‘final’ roster, but here’s who made it:
