About K. D. »

I'm writing for b/r b/c I've been a lifelong Redskins fan, but over the past 10 years, the franchise has not done a great job of being a solid foundation on and off the field. Ever since Jack Kent Cooke was getting up in age, by getting rid of Joe Gibbs and moving the home stadium from the nation's capital to "Raljon" (Landover, natch), Maryland, the team has continued to be errorful.

I don't hate the franchise. Never did. But it needs revamping, from the owner down. And as a citizen of the DMV, a world-class fan, and a keen observer of things sports-wise, I will try to do the blogger world and everyday sports fan justice by writing quality, albeit acerbic at times, reports.

JW Nix made a great argument for the suspension of Brady Quinn. However, after I examined it, I felt that Brady Quinn needed a defense attorney.
