Michael Irvin's Stand

Michael Irvin has taken a stand in favor of gay rights.   (ESPN:  Michael Irvin Champions Equality) This is certainly a courageous statement on his part.  A stand that is likely to be unpopular among many in football, especially among the fanbase in the Dallas area, and those who look for any reason to pile it on.

If he really believes what he is saying, I have a good place for him to start.

Thoughts on Washington Redskins vs. Seattle Seahawks

First of all, for all the people shocked at the chippyness of this game, and how these two teams could possibly be rivals, I’ll say to you that you can look no further than any other game we’ve played against the Seahawks. They’ve all been chippy, and they’ve all been tough. While Trent Williams was the key guy in a lot of the video getting into it, and while it’s documented that the Seahawks may have started it by taking offense to a Redskins huddle at midfield, I wouldn’t count out veterans like Mike Sellers and Santana Moss having a lot to do with it before the game on our side.

On to the game, the opening drive was refreshing. It’s been a long time since this team has started a game with a long drive, and even longer since scoring (a touchdown at that) on the opening drive. It was a bit disappointing following up that drive with drives that just fell short, or ended early due to penalties in this chippy game, but my biggest praise goes to Kyle Shanahan for sticking with the run. There were definitely times we didn’t run enough still, but the early influx of the run definitely kept the Seahawks honest enough.

Truck Neild Wallpapers

What do you say about a guy who gets drafted with the second to very last pick of the draft, and beats out a 5-year veteran to make the active roster in his rookie season?

Well I said this before he made the team, and I thought it was appropriate to do up a wallpaper graphic for such a meat-and-potatoes guy. I had a couple of game photos that came courtesy of Jake and Teri Russell, and I couldn’t decide which ones to use. So I used two of them! I liked both shots but couldn’t think of a theme that would use both, so I did up two completely different graphics.
