Life in Curmudgeon Corner…

HOOOOO HOOOOOO!  Football is back!

It’s about time:

Mike Sellers has been named a Captain of the Special Teams, which is certainly well deserved. This could prove very interesting, as he is known to be the king of the pranksters at Redskins Park… There will be no restraining him now.  Powerful, emotional leader….  bring it, Mike!   Just PLEASE make sure Tanner Cooley’s got his camera running once in a while for your “team building” exercises…

Bright Future? Not this year…

Is there any doubt that Marko Mitchell needs to be active every game? Dude had 2 passes thrown his way on Sunday… Turned both into first downs.
