Cooleys Are Stoked About the Redskins Signing Shaun Rogers
Friday, February 27th, 2009With Shaun Rogers and Albert Haynesworth plugging up the middle, NO ONE is gonna be able to run the ball against the Redskins.

Getting to Know the New $100 Million Man
Friday, February 27th, 2009Seeing as how he’s spent his entire career in the SEC and AFC South, many Skins fans may not know much about their latest free-agent prize.

The Definitive Opinion of Scheyer’s Face
Thursday, February 26th, 2009I hope the guy holding the huge Scheyer Face is doing an impersonation.

WINNERS: Dave Neal — For destroying Nolan Smith with that screen and then draining a three. It was a fantastic moment in a heated late-season ACC rivalry game, and the crowd noise alone lets you know what time it is.
Landon Milbourne — Nineteen points overall and [...]
