Friday, October 31st, 2008The Brim Reaper. The Chief. Or, more recently, worthless. You may call Chad Cordero by many different names, but you can no longer call him a National. The team essentially cut him yesterday.
I can’t say I’m overcome with sadness — it’s hard to form a strong affinity for a guy who had one good season. [...]
I’m Not Sure How the NFL Sleeps at Night
Friday, October 31st, 2008Ryan Clark’s story is a good one. Undrafted out of LSU, he latched on as a special teamer with the Giants and worked his way into their defensive backfield before coming to Washington via free agency. He spent two seasons with the Skins, starting 24 games at safety, 22 of them alongside Sean Taylor. In [...]
Happy Halloween From Manager Acta
Friday, October 31st, 2008For some reason, We’ve Got Heart’s Manny Acta pumpkin creeps me out, but I guess that’s the point. The Redskins Blog has carvings of their own, though none as intricately detailed or sleep-haunting.
My own sits on the porch untouched and will probably get knifed into something lame Dale Sr. In lieu of that, enjoy some [...]
Big Ben Is a Big Bitch
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Ben Roethlisberger could be worried about facing the NFC’s third best defense on Monday. Or about how THE 12TH MAN IS TOTALLY GONNA BRING THE PAIN!!!! 14,000 screaming Redskins fans, you know, once you subtract the corporate seats and such. But no, Big Ben is really concerned about half-naked women stretching in his line of [...]
ESPN Knows How Much You Love Politics With Your Sports
Thursday, October 30th, 2008All week I’ve been operating under the assumption that the worst thing about the Skins playing the Steelers on MNF will be listening to Tony Kornheiser. I may have assumed wrong:
On the eve of the presidential election, ESPN’s Monday Night Football game November 3 will originate from the nation’s capital when the Pittsburgh Steelers meet [...]
Burn it to the Effing Ground
Thursday, October 30th, 2008None of us are pleased about this. Seeing Philly fans happy, with something to celebrate is … well … it’s something I’ve actually never witnessed in my lifetime. But I know I don’t like it. Not one bit. So, if you’re like me, and you have hate in your heart, let it out. While the [...]
Things Maj Learned at the Wiz-Nets Game
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Here with a report on the Wizards’ season-opening loss is KSK co-founder, Deadspin weekend editor and our friend Jack Kogod a.k.a. Unsilent Majority.
Eddie Jordan still has his head up his ass. Don’t get me wrong, I like Eddie quite a bit, but his in-game coaching is indefensible. Eddie came into the season basically admitting that [...]
Fun Bunch: Wait, Those Aren’t Alligator?
Thursday, October 30th, 2008If there were more hours in the day, we’d blog about everything Redskins-related. Alas, here’s the Fun Bunch.

Recommendation: The FreeDarko Book
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Let’s get the disclosures out of the way first. The mastermind behind this title is Nathaniel Friedman A.K.A. Bethlehem Shoals, who worked with me at FanHouse and works with Chris at The Sporting Blog. Plus, any recommendation of mine for a book authored by a sports blogger is tainted, but let’s be honest. I’m not [...]
