This Hognosticator thought he had seen a good game in Houston? It may have been, but it was nothing like the thriller last week against the Jags. Without question, an all-time classic. The biggest play of that game (other than Moss’s walk-off TD, of course) may not have been a football play at all, but … Read more

What a dog fight. Santana Moss pulls in a pass from Mark Brunell and breaks it for a 68-yard touchdown in overtime? You can’t expect to see a much better NFL game than the Washington Redskins 36-30 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Not if you’re a Redskin fan anyway. It’s not surprising that … Read more

Springs Likely to Miss Week 4 – Cornerback Shawn Springs sat out practice Thursday, nursing a groin injury suffered in practice last week. It was reported by the Associated Press that the injury will likely keep him out through Week 5 against the New York Giants as well. – Quarterback Mark Brunell missed most of … Read more

After the first three weeks that this Hognosticator has had (nine games out after three weeks), it may be wise to just check the picks and select the opposite. Last week was particularly brutal. Never in the two year history of Hognosticating and years before in other pools have the Hognosticator’s picks been below .500. … Read more

Last week we took a tour through some vintage Madden in his book One Knee Equals Two Feet and saw how a typical Raiders’ huddle would function while he was a head coach.

On Sunday, Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan proudly upheld that tradition and thus have given us: Your First … Read more

The Washington Redskins’ offensive line dominated the trenches on Sunday against the Houston Texans. How can a unit that committed so many penalties actually have played a good game? By dominating on virtually every play of the game on the offensive side of the ball. Virtually every play because there were the penalties, and those … Read more

Good teams beat the teams they are supposed to beat. Hopefully for the Washington Redskins faithful, Sunday’s dominance over the Houston Texans is a sign that this is a good team. Although a 16-point win that saw a Redskin quarterback set an NFL record in efficiency will not be enough to quiet the doubter in … Read more

Springs Out Against Houston; Portis Set To Return – In his first practice since undergoing abdominal surgery in mid-August, cornerback Shawn Springs suffered a setback by straining his groin while participating in individual drills.

However, for those of us that live and die by the burgundy and gold’s wins and losses, the last two weeks have been miserable.
