As most of you have already heard, Carlos Rogers is out for the year. Anyone who saw his knee twist could have guessed this. I held up on posting anything about this until we had the corresponding roster move. Redskins.com announced that they have signed practice squad cornerback John Eubanks.
There is no question that this [...]

In a Riggo’s Rag first, we will be linking to an article in People magazine. The magazine that keeps you informed on whose breasts are real and whose are imaginary (err…enhanced) let’s us know that Tony Romo hung out with Britney Spears this weekend. Apparently, Romo and Spears hooked up while dining at an exclusive [...]

I got an email from my friend Guy Damrosch (he comments here under the name Gehenna) last night after the Redskins game that sums up my thoughts better than I could:
“I think I’ve officially joined the Anti-Patriot camp. Good God they spanked us.
First, let me stress that they were a far better team and [...]

…then Gibbs should win by 50! Yes, the Redskins beat the Pats and Tom Brady the last time we played them in 2003. In fact, we’ve beaten them every time we’ve played them since 1972. I’m banking that at least half my readers weren’t even born then. The Pats have beaten every team in the [...]

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. It has been a busy week, but I also think I’d have made more time if I had a little more confidence this week. Like most of the fans reading this site, I don’t have a ton of confidence going in to this week. I think there [...]

I’m not a superstitious person by nature. I don’t have a problem walking under ladders. If I spill salt, I generally just figure my blood pressure is better off without it. If I knock on wood, it is usually my own forehead.
But the one place where I suddenly get goofy about this stuff is with [...]

No, I don’t mean the tough competition and huge rivalries. I mean plain old butt ugly. According to a survey by Travel & Leisure magazine and CNN Headline News and reported by Yahoo at this link the city of Philadelphia has the least attractive, least friendly, and least stylish people in the United States.
But [...]

This quote from the Washington Post game wrap up:
“Once you got the dog down you got to kill it,” Smoot said.
Fred, Fred, Fred, please find another metaphor. You’re killing me. Some suggestions that would be less politically charged in the post Michael Vick world:
“Once you’ve broken in to the house, you have to steal [...]

Nope, that’s not a typo. That’s just an admission that we will not be able to beat the Patriots. That’s OK. We don’t match up well. They’re a better team right now. But that’s what makes this narrow victory all the more important.
To be honest, I didn’t see the whole game. Direct TV screwed me, [...]

I did a pretty full preview a few days ago when I discussed the advantage we have on defense. But I thought I’d do a run down of our health situation and make a few predictions.
The good news is that Rabach and Wade will probably play. Marcus Washington may not but Godfrey has replaced him [...]
