The Washington Redskins hadn’t lost to the Detroit Lions for 70 years; and they still haven’t. In fact, the Redskins put on their most impressive performance of the 2007 season, and thoroughly thrashed the Lions 34-3 at Fed Ex Field on Sunday. Here are the Fifth Quarter rankings: Passing: The dawning of a new era? … Read more
It’s tough to say what looked sharper at the Verizon Center on Saturday night, the Washington Capitals brand new red RBK uniforms, or the team that was in them. For the second night in a row, the Capitals steam-rolled their competition, and handed the Carolina Hurricanes a 2-0 defeat that was much more convincing than … Read more
WILKES-BARRE- After witnessing the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 5-4 victory over the Hershey Bears last night, a thought might cross one’s mind.
