  1. The Evolution of a Name

    I have stayed out of the Redskins name controversy because I am conflicted about it. However, after hearing Daniel Snyder give an interview, and listening to the subsequent talking heads reaction to said interview, I feel compelled to join the discussion. For once, I thought Mr. Snyder nailed...

  2. "Can your heart stand the shocking facts about Graverobbers from Outer Space?"

    Well, can it? "Can your heart stand the shocking facts about Graverobbers from Outer Space?" Thus begins, quite possibly, the worst movie ever made. I am referring of course to "Plan 9 from Outer Space". If you have not rented Ed Wood's masterpiece, Netflix it today. You won't regret it...

  3. Nerd Alert

    OK. This is gonna be a numbers-driven post. Revenge of the Nerds-stuff. OK, got the pop-culture thing out of the way. All the talk this week has been about McNabb vs. Shanahans, and for good reason. Mike Shanahan has to send Brad Childress a thank you card for knocking him off the top of...

  4. History

    Thank God I don't associate with any Eagles fans. Whew. That was awful last night. Good God. I know everyone hates fantasy stories, so I will keep this under 10 seconds of reading time: Up 63 points with no one playing going into the game. Lost to Vick and DJax. Ouch. Our "defense" (for...

  5. Nerd Alert (Part Deux)

    Last time I did this, we looked at the Redskins' O-line, today, horror of horrors, we are going to look at the D-line. It ain't pretty, kids. Better put the wife and kids to bed first... Most, if not all of these stats are courtesy of Footballoutsiders.com. Let's look at RB yards gained...

  6. Why do we Care?

    Why do we care so much? How is it that when someone I never met, and had precious little chance of meeting, passed away unexpectedly, it affected me for days? How is it that three years later, it still affects me? I have such strong memories of Sean Taylor flying around the field, wreaking...

  7. Is It Time?

    You know what the best thing is about movies? The journey. Think about it. When's the last time you were completely Kaizer Sose'd at the end of a movie? Usual Suspects aside. When's the last time you had no earthly idea what was going to happen next? Inception? Maybe? Memento? There...

  8. The Tipping Point

    No, I'm not predicting some massive crisis for the NFL whereby the tens of millions of rabid fans who devour the NFL each Sunday (and Thursday) suddenly decide to divest themselves of the spectacle in pursuit of other, more moral endeavors. No, I'm talking about something far more serious. My...

  9. Information

    I watched the movie Sneakers with my 10 and 13 year olds last Friday. Terrific movie with Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Akroyd, River Phoenix, David Straitharn, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell and James Earl Jones, among others. Fun, ensemble cast, ahead of its time, technologically, and...

  10. He's NOT What We Thought He Was. Or Is He?

    A few months ago, I wrote about hope. The birth of a new season of Redskins Football always seems to engender optimism within. For me, anyway. This year was no different. We had a new coach, a guaranteed Hall of Fame coach, no less. Yes, we had problems, but every team has problems. Mike...

  11. Hope Starts Now

    Anyone remember when Matthew Stafford was injury-prone? Could stay healthy? In his first two seasons he played 10 and three games, respectively. In the season opener in 2010 he injured his shoulder, came back on Halloween to beat... the Redskins (sigh), then reinjured that shoulder a week...

  12. Griff vs. Luck

    No, I'm not going where you think I'm going. (Besides, that's an easy argument. Griff wins ROY - go look at the numbers) I hope you're paying attention, because we may be watching something approaching magical right now. Deep breath. Ok, yeah, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna make the...

  13. The Drive

    Something's happening here. And what it is, is EXACTLY clear. To me, anyways. Since the Saints game, I have been patiently telling myself that this season is a learning season, the expectations will come full force next year and every year after that. This season is one we can sit back...

  14. Signs

    This has been a rough year to write a Redskins blog. Not much can be said at this point other than, "I think things are getting better", or "wait until next year", or "Wow! Helu looks like a keeper!". You know, the same things every other Skins blogger has been saying. At this point, you're...

  15. Winds of Change

    Do you feel that? That ever-so-slight breeze across your face? Do you know what it is? Change. It's change folks. I don't think I have to tell any of you that we would have lost that game against the Vikings last year. For one thing, Grossman couldn't have made that TD run; in fact come...

  16. Dispelling the Vyth

    Catchy title, huh? Vyth=Vick Myth. Maybe should have done this last week, but I was a bit caught up in the win. Go write your own blog. Anyway, I'm tired of lazy reporting and analysis. When I hear people compare RG3 to Michael Vick, my blood boils. It's like comparing Scarlett Johansson...

  17. The Snyder Problem

    OK, so maybe that title isn't specific enough. Heck, it probably isn't accurate enough. THE Snyder problem? Too many to count, really. Would you like me to list them chronologically or alphabetically? All right, enough of that. The problem to which I am referring is the Head Coach of the...

  18. Homegrown

    As I posted a couple of weeks ago, my company has purchased our largest competitor. The last two weeks (since the announcement) have been very stressful, as it has become clear that our corporate office has decided to extend job offers to everyone at the other company, across the board...

  19. Not the End Yet!

    That was like a bad romantic comedy last night. Our hero gets close, but never actually ends up getting the girl. Each time he gets closer, the audience roots for him that much harder, only to see the girl continue to step on his throat and crush him. OK, that part seems like a creepy...

  20. Bold Predictions

    It's never too early to make Bold Predictions. OK, maybe, just maybe, three games in is a little early, but whatever. This is a message board, dammit! There's no room for logic or reason here. So without further ado, based on the oh-so reasonable sample size of three games, here are my...
