Skins Coach?

January 26th, 2008 ·

Anyone want to coach the Washington Redskins? According to the AP the Skins have fired Gregg Williams and Al Saunders and promoted Greg Blache and hired Jim Zorn. I can’t be sure but I’m guessing this means Gregg Williams won’t be the next head coach (which seems to be confirmed by Jason La […]

Football Coach

January 23rd, 2008 ·

Shortly after the Skins lost to Seattle a few weeks back, Coach Gibbs let us know that he wasn’t coming back next year.  On the one hand this was a big shock - it seems like next year could be a big year if the team can keep the injuries under control.  On the other […]

Washington QBs

January 5th, 2008 ·

As the Skins get ready for a rare playoff game a lot of the media attention has been on the play of backup quarterback Todd Collins.  I can see how this is a compelling sorry.  He hadn’t started a game in 10 years, blah, blah, blah.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad the Skins have […]

Preseason Football - Ugh

August 11th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I watched some of the first half of the Skins/Titans game and I have a few thoughts.
Slingbox is pretty cool.  Not the greatest thing ever, but definitely cool.
I’m still amazed at how bad some (most?  all?) DVRs are.  Sure, it’s great technology and I couldn’t live without it but the design and development of the […]

Football Time

August 10th, 2007 ·

The Skins open their pre-season on Saturday.  I won’t get too excited yet (pre-season is way too long) but it does mean we’re getting close to the regular season.  I hope the Skins can turn it around this year.

PTI - Mike and Tony are back

August 6th, 2007 ·

Pardon the Interruption, a daily sports show on ESPN, is one of my favorite television programs… that I’ve never actually watched. I don’t get much time to watch TV other than handful of shows that my wife and I watch (when we’re not in reruns). I have also gone through long stretches in […]
