Sometimes, It Takes Magic

by

I’ve heard some of the whining… “You can’t win when you’re playing against the Refs, too.”

I hear ya. It is hard when you are playing 11 on 12. But, that 12th man wasn’t wearing black and white stripes… Frankly, I’m not sure exactly what Marie LaVeau is wearing these days, but she is clearly one imposing football player, when she’s got that #30 Burgundy and White voodoo doll in her hands…
She sure timed those needle jabs just right… That had to hurt. And, Madame LaVeau, what skillful manipulations were involved in working that pathetic punt over to tap poor Kevin Barnes in the shoulder as he was doing everything he could to make himself the smallest target possible? wow… excellent. more here My hat is off to you, Madame… Good game!

Injuries = More Tenacious Play?

by

I’m confused. So, what else is new?

Concussions… ACL’s… MCL’s… Fractures… Sprains… Hip pointers… Team leaders and fast risers on IR… yet, still, the Redskins are finding their mojo.

For multiple weeks at the start of the season, the Redskins, virtually at full strength, played as poorly as you could imagine against the historical dregs of the league. They barely won against the Rams. They lost to the Lions. Amazingly, they beat Tampa Bay… by a field goal. This “sterling” offensive performance was followed by losses to Carolina, Kansas City (KANSAS CITY!!!), Philly at home, a draw with the bye week, then a loss to Atlanta. I have no idea how they beat Denver… but it was nice. Now, they have put up strong, fairly tenacious, but losing, efforts against Dallas and Philly, as well.

Happy Birthday, Sean

by

Sean Taylor would have been 26 today. Running a Washington Redskins web site, there’s not a day that goes by that one doesn’t think about what a tragedy Sean’s murder was, and from so many different angles. First and foremost, it robbed a family of its beloved son, a woman of her beloved fiance, current … Read more

by

The Redskins have addressed another need by bringing back the missing original member of “The Dirtbags.” Left guard Derrick Dockery will sign a five-year, $26.5 deal to return to the Redskins. The contract should be a happy medium between the reported three-year, $12 million pact offered by the Redskins just prior to free agency in … Read more

Wild Day for Redskins As Free Agency Begins

by

The Redskins have done it again. This time, it’s record setting. Never shy from attempting to catch the big fish in the ocean known as NFL free agency, the Redskins have essentially caught the whale shark of this year’s talent pool. The team doled out a 7-year, $100 million contract to former Tennessee Titans defensive … Read more
