THN Toon: Cam Newton
Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback has started his career with a bang, which has helped people forget some of the turmoil that he stirred up before he even get to the NFL.
So this week’s THN Toon is just a friendly public service announcement to help Redskins fans remember things:
Father of a Former Redskin… Or Hulk Hogan???
In the idea of lifting up the spirits of Redskins Nation after a frustrating loss, I figured a little humor was needed.
We all know how 2009 turned out but I figure I’ll give you all a bit of a flashback… in a good way. This time in the form of former Redskins punter Glenn Pakulak.
Pakulak, as you all remember, filled in for starter Hunter Smith when he was injured in mid-October and appeared in two games (Oct. 11 vs. Carolina and October 18th vs. Kansas City).
What does Pakulak have to do with the Skins now? Nothing really. But it’s never a bad time to blog about a former punter just days after your current punter hurts his hip in pregame warmups.

Early Play-Off Look For Redskins
Its definitely too early to really make play-off predictions, but Steve Wyche did so any way. There’s no real surprise information here. Obviously, he has the Giants, Panthers and Cardinals as locks, since all three of these teams are the class of their division, at least as it presently looks in the standings. He also lists Tampa Bay as being “In good standing.” Again, no surprise. They are 7-3 and playing pretty good football.
