There … Read more

C’mon Matt, Take the Money

As the days before the 2004 NFL Draft approached, the soap-opera began. Two teams; the San Diego Chargers and the New York Giants. Two quarterbacks; Eli Manning and Philip Rivers. Two NFL front offices with limited finances. The stage was set and the drama was intense. The two clubs could not agree on trade terms … Read more

Scooter’s 6 Pack: Vikings

1. Purple Pounder People The Vikings made the playoffs – after being whipped by the Redskins in the final game of the year. The Redskins almost kept the Vikings alive with a fumble and a sad INT, but the Redskins won. The smack talk was flying freely, especially from Vikings QB Dante Culpepper. The Redskins … Read more

Scooter’s 6 Pack: Cowboys

Scooter’s 6 Pack: Eagles II

1. Score Revised REDSKINS 13, EAGLES 10, ZEBRAS 7 If I wanted to watch a sexually confused zebra, I’d try to merge Queer Eye for the Straight Guy with the National Geographic Channel. Another bogus Pass Interference call gave the opposing team points – points that they were not going to have otherwise. Not enough … Read more

Scooter’s 6 Pack: Giants II

1. Spanking the G-Stringers At the opening kick-off, the Giants had all the momentum. It took the Redskins defense exactly three plays to get the ball back.

Scooter’s 6 Pack: Steelers

1. Special Ed Not since the days of LeCharles McDaniel has the Redskins McSpecial Teams, LeStunk so badly as it did against the Steelers. Punt returns cost the Skins 10 points, indirectly, with outstanding field position. The Steelers Antwan Randle- El is a super player with great skills. At some point during the week, it … Read more
