Hognostications: Week 3 Picks

Congratulations go out to Fiji Hog with a 13-2 record last week.  There were several hognosticators with a respectable 12-3 record also.  

Damn.. MANY close games last week.  I guess that’s what separates the men from the boys.  That’s OK, I like using the Redskins strategy and lulling my opponent to sleep before I make my move.

If you want to make a few bucks this week, then I suggest you take these to the bank:

THN Weekly With Andre Carter

Andre Carter THN Weekly

The Redskins, coming off of an exciting come-from-behind victory over the New Orleans Saints, face a tough challenge against the 2-0 Arizona Cardinals this Sunday afternoon at FedEx Field. The Redskins are familiar with their former NFC East rivals, having faced them twice in the last three seasons. The last meeting came at home last … Read more

Redskins Haikus

Over the years, we’ve had a lot of fun doing Redskins Haikus. If you’re not familiar with what a Haiku is, its a poem with three lines, that has five, seven, and five syllables in the lines. You can read all about it at Wikipedia.

Here are a couple of examples – a couple of these rhyme, but they don’t have to:

Know Your Opponent: Arizona Cardinals

So, I took a little heat last week for simply hurling schoolyard insults at the Saints in “Know Your Opponent: New Orleans”Not as much heat as the Saints took in FedEx, but I digress.

I intend to still hurl my schoolyard insults this week because, c’mon, it’s the Cardinals, are we really afraid of a team that has named itself after a perching songbird?

A mere 10 days after putting a sizable portion of the Redskins fan base on suicide watch, the team bounced back with a thrilling win. Jim Zorn went from … Read more

Redskins Win Big for the Z-Man!

If you look at this week’s game, it wasn’t nearly as close as the score would lead you to believe. The Redskins were dominant throughout the game on both offense and defense.The weak spot this week? Special Teams.

The Redskins’ Special Teams unit accounted for 14 of New Orleans’ 24 points. Randle-El’s fumble may not have been returned for a touchdown, but it put the Saints in position to score their first touchdown. Durant Brooks should have kicked the ball out of bounds, but instead kicked a low, line-drive right to Reggie Bush (who is already known as a dangerous return man) who promptly returned it for a touchdown.

Lucky Underwear 1, Saints 0

Okay, so I know what happened here.  I wrote about how Durant Brooks did so well last week, taking that shot to the groin and all, he read it, got all cocky, and went out and had a bad week.  My fault.  However, it’s a good thing I was wearing my lucky underwear to help the Redskins pull out the win.  I forgot to wear my lucky underwear last week, and look what happened.  So far, my lucky underwear is 1-0 versus the spread.

And just a quick note to my friends at DirecTV.  I pay you two hundred fifty some-odd dollars for my Sunday Ticket subscription.  I pay you ten some-odd dollars  a month for my HD service.  And now you want me to pay ANOTHER one hundred some-odd dollars to get my Sunday Ticket games in HD with your ‘SuperFan’ offering?!?  Have you gone mad?!?  How many ways can you possibly screw me out of more of my hard-earned some-odd dollars?!?

And now back to our regular programming (which is probably slighty more random than usual, given that I was irrate and distracted for most of the first half, after learning that I could not watch my game in HD)….
