Okay. Finally: tell us something you saw at camp today that’s not going to make it into your Postcard From Camp, but that Redskins fans would want to know.

I’ll tell you something that IS going to make it into my postcard: I thought Jason Campbell had one of the best camp practices I’ve ...

They have a ton of time and money invested in Campbell, and they just gave Todd Collins 9 million. No way Favre comes to DC.

Mike Quick who is the analyst for the Eagles games with Merrill Reese says there will be news about Roy Williams before the week is out.

That means the Cowboys, Redskins or the Eagles will probably wind up with the receiver before the week is out.

Mike just finished doing a live interview ...

Apparently, the guy is so smart it's ridiculous. I've read stories about him memorizing game plans in one night.

Plus, according to Collins, Kansas City ran basically the same offense for two years before Saunders arrived.

He'll be fine. He'll pick it up in no time.

CANTON -- The Cleveland office of the National Action Network will ask NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to cancel the Aug. 3 NFL Hall of of Fame game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins.
NAN President, the Rev. Al Sharpton, said the cancellation request is in response to a ...

I'm pretty sure Brunell's contract is voidable at this point, but someone might want to check me on that. That would make his cap number 0 I think. Could be wrong though.

As far as free agency goes, the Redskins don't sound as if they plan on being major players. Vinny said, "There are not a lot of free agents out there. We probably won't be a big player."
As far as needs, Cerrato stressed finding a "big" WR, a swing o-lineman who could play center or guard or ...

With everything they have invested in Campbell, I can't see them hiring a defensive minded coach.

Now this funny....

The number '17' means a lot to Washington Redskins players and fans alike. Why you might ask? Because it was the number worn by Billy Kilmer, the quarterback that led the Redskins to their first Super Bowl appearance. But in 1992, Doug Williams, number '17' led the Redskins to their third Super ...

This might be a silly question, but who does he work for? is he on the radio, what station?

The mothership, Sportstalk 980 out of DC.

I'll still never forget earlier this year when he absolutely chewed out Adam Whatshisname from NFL Network in regards to Monk not being in the HOF. Classic.

Was just listening to Czaban's radio show, and he was going over the Skins cap situation. He mentioned that he got the info from thehogs.net, then he made a smart comment about "other" fansites that are owned by the team. So, congrats fellas.

Tough to watch, but here's the link.

My wife and I each got a towel at the game also. They also gave each of us a Redskins hat too. I'll be keeping my towel.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that there were probably a dozen of the towels on the floor in the bathroom at halftime. Jerks.

Gotta give it up for King on this one. Great read, very touching.....

Talking about a mid December return.

I'll post it since it's premium content.

Campbell much better than his numbers show


By Jeremy Green

After watching Washington QB Jason Campbell over the past few weeks I wanted to go back into the film room and really break him down. What I saw after looking at tapes is that he is rapidly ...

Thank you sir. Much appreciated.

Looking ahead here in Maryland it looks like Fox is showing STL vs BAL, and CBS is airing KC vs CIN. Why in the hell is the Skins game not on? Does anyone have the link for the Sopcast channel?

True, but I'm enjoying this recent wave of positive press. Here's to hoping they can keep it up. The schedule coming up is brutal.

Jason Whitlock on Fox Sports giving the Skins props. He thinks we have the defense in the league.

3. My search for a new sleeper team — after the Saints bombed — has taken me to the nation's capital.

If Jason Campbell can ever get comfortable and confident with Al Saunders' huge playbook ...

This is one time I'll have to agree. There's a reason Philly keeps a jail underneath their football stadiums and that reason is not the visiting players or fans. Philly leads the NFL in fan arrests per game. That's not a reputation we want or need in D.C.

Doesn't FedEx also have a holding cell?

Campbell said on Training Camp Live that he's going to play Thursday night. Gibbs said that he'll see how Jason does in practice tomorrow, and that he won't play Thursday unless he's 100%.

Personally, I'd keep him out until the opener. I know he needs the game experience, but c'mon. Can't play ...

I honestly don't expect to see a whole lot out of the offense tonight. I want them to come out healthy, and I would like to see the defense continue to be strong.
