1. Breaking the Routine It hit me this morning when I was scanning through the various roster cuts – something is very different today.

1. NFL Game Hijacked… The Redskins vs. Rams? No silly, it’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Fox Broadcaster Chris Collinsworth was terribly upset when he was rejected during early casting calls for Bravo Channel’s hit-show, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

1. Hit’s Just Keep On Coming The swagger is easy to see, and even easier for opponents to feel early in preseason. The Redskins defense is BACK.
