The only thing that would make this story better will be when Michael Irvin is off of the airwaves.

So is this Sanders taking a few more definitive steps to try and fulfill his (outspoken) dreams to become a coach?

At least we'll always know that Dan Snyder will never hire the guy ever again. Ever.

How 'bout Collinsworth with Irvin under one arm and TAFKAPT under the other taking a long walk off a short pier?

For some reason I'm able to tolerate Troy Aikman on the air.
I didn't think that would be possible. He's not that bad at all. And I must admit, I really enjoyed Dandy Don Meredith back in the day.

I don't know about Meredith...didn't care much for him, but Aikman is doing a great job I must admit.

I don't know why you guys like Aikman...He bashes the Redskins every chance he gets.

Last year the Dallas vs. Redskins game at Texas Stadium he couldn't stop bashing the Redskins. I personally think he's still upset on how a Redskin ended his career.

But I have to agree when there are other teams playing he does do a good job.

We deserved to be bashed the past two seasons.
