Its definitely too early to really make play-off predictions, but Steve Wyche did so any way. There’s no real surprise information here. Obviously, he has the Giants, Panthers and Cardinals as locks, since all three of these teams are the class of their division, at least as it presently looks in the standings. He also lists Tampa Bay as being “In good standing.” Again, no surprise. They are 7-3 and playing pretty good football.

The All Unemployed Team
I was checking out an article on Scout about the best NFL offensive and defensive free agents that are currently available, and I thought it might be fun to choose the ‘best of’ and form a team out of them.
Wherever possible, I chose former Washington Redskins to fill spots.
But What About the Pass Rush?
Given that it’s next to impossible for fans of any team — but particularly fans of the Washington Redskins — to simply enjoy being 4-1, we’ve begun to hear some gripes about the lack of a pass rush.

I know this is a sports blog — more specifically a Washington Redskins and Washington Capitals blog — but some things are bigger than sports, and today is no exception. I’m sure everyone has their own story about that day, but I can’t help but reminisce about it and how different things are now, as opposed to before that fateful day.
Pacman To Be Re-Instated
In news that should be shocking to no one, ESPN.com News Services is reporting that the NFL will re-instate Pacman Jones for the upcoming season. Based on this timeline, which can be found in the story linked above, who can blame them:
You Can’t Play, Cause You’re Too Good???
From whatsthe401.com: Picture the commissioner of major league baseball walking up to Bob Gibson in the middle of the 1968 season and telling him that he was too good to pitch in MLB games. That doing so would no longer be allowed. On top of that, picture Gibson taking the mound anyway, and then the … Read more

This last week, the NFL held the Flag Football World Championships (FFWC) in Cologne, Germany. Ten teams from around the world were represented by young athletes between the ages of 12 and 14, who competed for the world title. I had the opportunity to do up a couple of articles on the event for various … Read more
The Caitlin Classic
The morning of November 1, 1995 was just an ordinary in the life of a young Marine Corporal. I got up and got ready for PT – Wednesday was the Company First Sergeant’s turn to take us on a 3-4 mile jog. After PT, I went home, took a quick shower and headed into work. … Read more
