Wednesday, December 31st, 2008The Terps participated in the Humanitarian Bowl yesterday, played in Boise, Idaho, on a blue field at 4:30 in the afternoon. So, yeah, as you can tell, their bowl game was kind of a big deal. And they won it, despite seven of their players, including All-ACC running back Da’Rel Scott, being benched for the [...]
The Year of the Blog on Yahoo! Sports
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Here is something I’ve been working on a lot lately, and YahooSports.com is actually leading with it this morning, so, please, go check it out.
And, of course, “MERRY NEW YEAR!”
Let’s Start Looking at 2009
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Matt Terl has posted up the list of teams Washington plays next season. Because it’s never too early to start forgetting about this season, let’s take a look-see at the competition:
Home:
Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis Rams, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs
Away:
Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, [...]
‘Dear Danta: Please Bring Us a Real GM’
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008We can’t give you all the details, but we can tell you that we have an agent embedded deep within the Redskins organization who is part of Operation Fire Vinny, a covert secret ops mission set to stage a coup d’etat to overthrow the Skins’ front office and replace Cerrato with a real GM. (Sorry, [...]
Skins Winners & Losers, Matinee Edition
Sunday, December 28th, 2008When I think of Redskins-49ers I think of Darrell Green blanketing Jerry Rice, Washington clinching the NFC East in San Fran back in ‘99, Steve Spurrier’s sparkling Skins coaching debut in Japan and … Brandon Lloyd.
But here we are, it’s 2008 and neither team is playing for much in Week 17. The Skins need [...]
Alexander Ovechkin Will Blow Your Skull
Saturday, December 27th, 2008I’m not sure I’ve seen something like this since Mighty Ducks, the movie franchise that beget an actual franchise:
That’s some And 1-on-skates shit right there: flying past one defender, puck handling around another and flicking the biscuit in the basket just before sliding headfirst across the ice. Pretty awesome, right?
When asked how this tally ranks [...]
Steve Spurrier Wasn’t a Good NFL Coach
Saturday, December 27th, 2008The Skins have seen plenty of dark times since Gibbs’ first go-around, but none darker than the Spurrier years. Washington went 12-20 under the ol’ ball coach, and when that happens, well, this happens:
“One thing I remember [Pro Bowl running back] Stephen Davis telling me [in 2003], was, ‘This is not the NFL,’ ” [Rock] [...]
Congratulations, Muffin Top
Friday, December 26th, 2008Ladies and gentlemen, your NFC Special Teams Player of the Week is …
That’s what you get for pinning five punts at or inside the 10 against Philly, and it’s quite an honor — a major award! — for a guy with the second-worst punting average in the conference.
As If the Wizards Hadn’t Suffered Enough, And As If I Didn’t Already Detest LeBron
Friday, December 26th, 2008Not only did the Wizards get robbed on Christmas Day, but LeBron had to pull this bullshit:
The Wizards intended to wear their blue road jerseys, which included a white holiday snowflake on the front. But James wanted to wear blue to match his new Nike “chalk” shoes and the Cavaliers sent an employee to Washington [...]
If It’s A Mustache Fight San Fran Wants, It’s A Mustache Fight They’re Gonna Get
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008The 49ers are growing lip fur to go along with their throwbacks for Sunday’s finale with the Skins in San Francisco. It’s a tribute to players past, and a damn fine one, but they clearly don’t realize who they’re dealing with here.
(Clockwise from top left: Doug Williams, John Riggins, Jason Campbell, Jeff Hostetler, Russ Grimm, [...]
