The NBA will lockout tonight at midnight. In your opinion, which lockout lasts longer? Why?

Andrew Luck is the golden child everyone is looking to for the Redskins in the 2012 Draft, I however have taken notice to his left tackle.  Yes we have a tackle in Trent Williams, but why not load up and retool the right side? Queue Jonathan Martin, the guy responsible for keeping Luck upright. Name: Jonathan Martin College: Stanford Number: 55 Height: 6-6 Weight: 304 Position: OT Pos2: Class/Draft Year: rJr/2013 40 Time: 5.29 40 Low: 5.14 40 High: 5.44 Projected Round: Stock: Rated number 1 out of 151 OT’s 999 / 2118 TOTAL Need more visuals? Check this out:  

Here is an early look at the projected top five picks in next year’s draft.  Its no surprise that most mock writers see the Redskins going hard after Andrew Luck, Stanford.  But is this what the Redskins will need most during their 2012 offseason?  Obviously it is too early to tell, but its never too early to speculate. Here is Walter Football’s very, very early Top 5 Mock Draft.   Washington Redskins: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford Andrew Luck is the No. 1 prospect in the 2012 NFL Draft – for now. With Jim Harbaugh and three of his offensive linemen [...]

Last Wednesday I was fortunate enough to be watching one of the greatest bands of all time.  U2 was in town.  By “in town” I mean Baltimore, and as a Northern Virginian, that’s a little bit of a stretch for me.  However, geographic location is a moot point.  The important fact was that U2 had decided to play in a relatively easy location for me to get to.  Why they chose Baltimore, my friends and I could only guess.  But there they were before us; Bono, The Edge, and the other two guys that no one really cares about.  We [...]

This week Donovan McNabb made tons of news by showing up at a work out with the Eagles.  Actually let me clear that up, a few Eagle players.  This was not a practice nor did it resemble any form of practice whatsoever.   It was a bunch of pro football players working out in New Jersey.  Big deal?  No. Lots of fans and bloggers are spinning this out of control feeling betrayed by McNabb.  Some referring to many Redskin sticking up for McNabb and saying the right things.  I just a few comments on that.

Donovan McNabb said this in regards to the Eagles.  McNabb was in New Jersey  working out with a few of his old teammates. “It’s really like working out with family members,” McNabb said. “We’ve been a part of each other’s lives for 11 years.”

If things couldn’t get any weirder, they have.  Thanks to Brent from Brooding Burgundy, we have learned that McNabb is working with the Philadelphia Eagles at their players only camp. The Redskins blog offered some insight to this most odd situation.   Clipped from: blog.redskins.com (share this clip)   Clipped from: blog.redskins.com (share this clip) While McNabb wouldn’t comment on his situation with the Redskins, everyone else seems to know all about that. Nonetheless, what your thoughts on this?

For some of us who were hoping that this lockout would be over in a few weeks, according to Jeff Pash…it may be a bit longer until we see some resolution. According to Pro Football Talk: Our belief that keeping the lawyers away from the process can only speed up a resolution to the lockout may have been bolstered by one of the lawyers himself, as the league’s chief negotiator, Jeff Pash, indicated today that he expects to have plenty of work to do before the lockout ends. Asked how close an agreement is, Pash wouldn’t say the end of [...]

Talking to Sky Kerstein, of 106.7 the FAN DC, came on Backfield Radio and talked to the hosts about the type of atmosphere during the players only mini camp.  Talked about who is leading and who is standing out. John Beck, calling the offense and coordinating video recording of the practices. London Fletcher, paid for the the rookies flights to the practices. Kedrick Golston, not under contract, but going 100% and helping in distributing the playbook material. We are seeing leaders rise and continue to push this team.  But without the coaches, who’s to say how far along this team [...]
