Frequently I hear these stories about Groupies flying out to see athletes, being jump offs and what not. I don’t particular care it is none of my business, if that is what they want to do more power to them.
Every once in awhile I will read a story, that gives me the perfect opportunity to point out some of the pros and cons of this type of lifestyle, not just for the athlete but for the groupie.
Balleralert.com has these type of stories up all the time, but this particular one is amusing to me. So, what I am going to do is post the story and I will interject my comments in BOLD, when I think they are needed. Remember this is just the groupie side of the story, no way to confirm anything happened the way she is claiming. If you need good laugh just following along.

This is the groupie motto. They never ever search out ball p...

Last season’s disappointing 5-11 record, placed the Redskins solidly in last place, within the ultra-competitive NFC East. While Washington was nestled firmly in the middle of the league with their ranking of 16th in total offense (336.7 YPG), their rushing attack finished a meager 25th overall, while averaging just 100.9 YPG. And even though the team fared better in passing...

Following Tuesday’s minicamp practices, Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he’s informed third year kick returner Brandon Banks that he’ll have to contribute on offense if he wants to make the team.

With so many NFL teams going with a committee backfield the past few years, it’s really hard to find that one running back who is going to have a spectacular fantasy football season. After much self debating and pondering on who I think could finally have a breakout year in 2012, here are five guys who I think could make a name for themselves and should be on everyone’s radar...

I’ve heard a lot of things about potential Redskins starting quarterback, the #2 overall pick in this year’s draft, Robert Griffin III out of Baylor. I’ve heard he’s Cam Newton 2.0. I’ve heard he’s the real deal. Thus far he has looked great in workouts, and apparently has the mental part of the NFL level down too.
