And so begins the new era of the Redskins. Resisting the urge to up the ante for Chad Johnson, the Redskins instead figured out that trading down for more picks was the way to go. I could quibble with the amount we got in the deal. Because essentially I felt like the 1st and 3rd [...]

He just couldn’t resist it. Months of discipline and careful spending have been flushed down the toilet. Let’s face it, it’s not FUN to keep your core players and expand through the draft. There’s no immediate gratification. Dan Snyder had to try to throw all his draft picks at the Bengals to get a big splash for his team. We’re just [...]

ESPN is reporting on their nightly radio program that the Arizona Cardinals have rejected a trade offer from the Washington Redskins that would send talented wide receiver Anquan Boldin to the Redskins for an undisclosed number of draft picks (presumably including at least one 1st round pick).

ESPN is reporting here that the Washington Redskins offered the Bengals what effectively would have been a 1st round pick this year and a 1st round pick next year. All this in exchange for grumpy, outspoken Chad Johnson. The Bengals refused the offer and informed other NFC East teams that Johnson is not on the trading block. [...]

Anyone who has been tracking my obsession with Chad Johnson knows I’m convinced, convinced we can have for a second round pick and we would be insane not to offer it. Well, Floyd Reese on ESPN’s Sportscenter said he would be willing to offer a 1st and a 2nd for Chad and he wouldn’t be [...]

When you see something you want to blog about, an article or a video or whatever, the first thing you try to do is come up with your “take” or your “spin” or whatever you want to call the thing that separates blogging from merely linking to the news. And when I first saw this [...]

Octopus, a regular poster over at The Landry Hat, shared an encounter he had with Fred Smoot. Although he’s a lousy Dallas fan, I’ve found him to be reasonable and credible so I thought I’d share his brief encounter with greatness.

The NFL has released it’s full schedule for 2008. You can find it here.

I’ll have [...]

In honor of Pac Man Jones applying for re-instatement today, we link to this classic from The Onion from over 5 years ago. Long before Jones made it rain, the NFL had an “image problem.” Get over it NFL, and let him back in.
