Yes, Redskins fans, we do have the bone-stupidest General Manager in all of football, and I’m including the CFL, NFL Europe, and the now-defunct Arena League. Here’s how he explained why he didn’t draft any defensive linemen - a definite need for his team - in the last draft.
You know, so you’ve gotta go with [...]

It’s not every day I agree with Michael Wilbon, but today is one of those days. Wilbon says that we shouldn’t be looking at Jason Campbell or Jim Zorn or Clinton Portis. We should be looking at the offensive and defensive lines.
Actually, I don’t even think the defensive line is such a huge problem. Despite [...]

Well, folks, that’s it for me until after the election. I’m tuning in to My Beloved Redskins who I’m hoping will give me warm fuzzy dreams of victory on which to sleep tonight. Tomorrow, I’m up at somewhere around 5 AM to spend the day working as a Provisional Judge at one of my local [...]

In 1991, Tony Kornheiser, who used to be a good columnist, invented the Redskins Bandwagon. Seventeen years later, I think it’s time to pull the old girl out of the garage, give her an oil change, and fire her up.
Forget winning the division, folks. After thumping the Philadelphia Eagles in their own house, the Washington [...]

With all the political news flying about this week, I’m afraid I almost lost sight of what is truly important - the beginning of football season!
My Beloved Redskins kick off the 2008 NFL season tonight in New York against the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. I almost hate to root against the Giants because [...]

If the first day of training camp is any indication, we Redskins fans are going to have an interesting year. The team lost defensive end Philip Daniels for the year but added veteran sack machine Jason Taylor.
This seems like a net gain for the team. Daniels was well-liked by his teammates and his fans. But [...]
