I didn’t see it but apparently last weekend there was a play in the San Diego vs. Denver game that was controversial. The Denver QB fumbled the ball while getting ready to throw it. The ref mistakenly blew the whistle. San Diego recovered the ball. The play was reviewed (either with [...]

Tom Brady’s Knee
Posted in sports on Sep 13th, 2008
With apologies to my brother-in-law, I’m not a big Patriot’s fan. I used to be okay with them and I generally respect their latest successes but for the past year or two I have found Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to be annoying.
Brady seemed to be a cry baby about any little [...]
I’m at about the end of the first quarter. I’ll publish this at half-time (I’m watching somewhat delayed on my TiVo). So far, these are my thoughts:
The field seems strangely slippery - for an artificial surface.
That interference call on Smoot was a terrible call but…
The Skins secondary is terrible and has no depth [...]
Now that has to be one of the most used blog post titles ever, right? At least it doesn’t have “iPhone” in it.
Yes, football season starts soon. I’m a huge Washington Redskins fan and have been ever since I can remember. I have found over the past few years that my interest in pre-season has [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Brian recently posted about Demetric Evans’ inspirational story as told in this Washington Post article. And now, just a few days later, we get the very sad news of Sean Taylor’s death. We don’t yet know what really happed or if Sean’s death was related to problems that he had in the past. In many [...]
I sat through last week’s game versus the Patriots and obviously as a Skins fan it was really painful to watch. I know there has been some debate about whether or not running up the score is something the Pats should have done or not. I wish they hadn’t, but that doesn’t count [...]
Preseason Football - Ugh
Posted in sports on Aug 11th, 2007
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 [...]
