It’s Dallas Week. It used to be that nothing else mattered to players, coaches and fans alike. Losing seasons have been forgotten because the Redskins beat the hated Cowboys. In seasons that the Redskins swept the Cowboys, all was right in the world. Some would even stand for a two-win season as long as those … Read more
What happened to football as I once knew it? So much has changed over the years and yet, so much has remained the same. The trials and tribulations of being a Redskin fan have been documented before. The changes in the league, whether it is the salary cap, free agency or expansion, have also been … Read more
It’s that time of year again. It’s the time for giving thanks for all that we have and all that we have been given. It’s for spending time with family, friends and loved ones. It’s time for…. All right, enough of the Norman Rockwell and Hallmark moments. It’s time we talk about what this time … Read more
You can’t keep a good man down. That is how the old saying goes and it has never been more appropriate than when you look at the Redskins young signal caller, Patrick Ramsey. This kid has been beaten up more this season than Jerry Cooney was during his time as a heavyweight fighter. Opposing defenses … Read more

By far it … Read more
This was supposed to be the year that “The Hogs” came back to Washington and carried the Redskins back to the top of the NFC East. Thanks to two key free agent signings at the guard positions in addition to the duo of All Pro tackles, the Redskins looked to have what I dubbed “The … Read more
I know it is football season but there is magic in the air of four Major League cities. While the Cubs look to advance to their first Fall Classic in almost a century, the Boston Red Sox have renewed their rivalry with the hated Yankees of New York. Their series is tied and over the … Read more
…Ok, I admit it I was calling this season’s Redskins offensive line the second coming of the fabled “Hogs.” Based on their performance thus far in the season, I have been disappointed. They have allowed too much pressure on the quarterback and have caused Ramsey to take a beating. The bookends (Samuels and Jansen) have … Read more
It was once said that the only thing a person HAS to do is die and pay taxes. In the sports world there is a far worse third option: the sun will set on your career. For some this may be worse than dying, and we have seen others who have chosen to fight the … Read more
