The Ravens Best Lose in Regulation

If you don’t live in the D.C. area, go ahead and leave the room now. Same goes for those of you with Sunday Ticket and anyone here who isn’t a Skins fan. Alright, now that I’m speaking to just the D...

Jim Zorn Won't Let Road Kill Go to Waste

Bog Man Dan got this backwoods story out of the Zorn Star first, and it’s already spread like an airborne virus through the blogosphere, so we’ll just share the money quote: “We lived on Lake Washington,” he began...

Step Aside Randel-El, Santana Moss Will Be Handling the Punt Returns

That headline might be a bit misleading, actually. Based on Zorn’s press conference on Monday (which I got around to listening to yesterday evening), it seems that Santana Man will be handling ...

For Skins Fans Only: Meet the New Guys

Despite my preseason trumpeting of the draft pick, Ray Guy award winner and owner of my lonely heart a 45.3 yard college punting average, it’s with sweet relief that Washington has waived and replaced Durant Brooks just six games into his career...

Pistol Play, Choking a Man While He’s Driving Both Not Cool With Clinton

You’ve certainly heard the news by now that Pacman Jones is gonna be missing some time. The Commish suspended him today for at least four games. That’s a bummer for a Dallas secondary that could certainly use all the help it can get...

Skins to Sign Another Washed-Up Star

Ladell Betts is expected to be out two weeks with a mild knee sprain. No big deal, right? I mean, we still gots CP (MVP!) and Rock, whose ability to run straight is a quality I admire. They can hold it down for a couple weeks until Betts comes back...

Not a Moment Too Soon: Taylor Is Back

The unstoppable force that is the Redskins’ pass rush is being revved up to 11 this Sunday: Jason Taylor is back! And seeing as he accounts for exactly 16% of the team’s total number of sacks this season (6), this is kind of a big deal...

LaVale I Mean JaVale McGee Is Our Savior

Haywood is out for up to six months, Antawn may be gone ’til December and Gil probably longer than that, but stay medium, Wizards fans, because remember who we drafted: THE VALE OF CASHMERE A...

So, I Guess the Redskins Can't Play the Underdog Role Anymore

This is something we’ve only seen once since I was 10 years old. And I would know. I had a huge gambling problem back in ‘92: As you can see, the Skins are favored by 14 points against the Rams, as of right now...

Skins Winners & Losers, Early Edition

Jamie is back in NoVA, enjoying (hopefully) the game with our good friend Andy (better known here as Putts From the Rough), so he’ll be unable to do a post-game Winners & Losers thang...
