Fun With Mock Drafts: Sugary Cereals That Are Worth the Risk of Diabetes
Image via. Buy it here.
Welcome to the first mock draft of the 2012 off-season. Once again we’ll be holding a weekly mock draft each Friday between now and the actual NFL draft during April’s final week. Now if you’re new to the site you should probably know that these mock drafts have absolutely nothing to do with football. Real mock drafts are worthless, so we do this to...

Gio Gonzalez: ‘Hail to the Redskins’
When John Wall arrived in D.C., he told reporters he liked the Cowboys. When Bryce Harper signed with the Nats, he told reporters he liked the Cowboys, the Lakers and Duke. Clinton Portis wore Phillies hats, and John Wall wore Flyers hats, and even Fred Smoot came to Verizon Center to root for the Cavs.

Random Athlete Of The Day- Trung Canidate
To answer your first question, Trung is actually his real name, and no it’s not short for anything (I originally thought it might have been a sick nickname for Theodore). Canidate is from Phoenix, Arizona, and consequently became an Arizona Wildcat. In his freshman year he had 138 rushes for for 804 yards and 4 TDs. One of his touchdowns was a career long 96 yards, he was a...

It’s Back To the Draft For the Redskins, or Risk Losing Another Coach
Looking at the caliber of team the Redskins designed this season it’s easy to feel like we should have got more.
When I say that, I mean a playoff birth.
However, that’s not the case, and the Redskins find themselves once again watching the playoffs from their couches.
Many will blame it on turnovers and injuries, but that has become more of a cliche excuse nowadays....

Clinton Portis hints at retirement
Clinton Portis’s many media appearances this week didn’t lead to any definitive statement on his football future. He sure seems done, but you kind of expect that he’ll come out and say it at some point.
The closest he came, that I saw, came in his Web chat for ESPN.com, and it went like this:

Schefter: Redskins could try to trade for top pick in draft
Here was the start of Tom Boswell’s column last week on Washington’s new appreciation for the NFL draft:
For 40 years, the Redskins have thrown away high draft picks like they were cheap lottery tickets. In half those seasons, Washington didn’t even have a first-round pick.
For decades, whenever the Redskins wanted Donovan McNabb, Mark Brunell, Brad Johnson, Clinton Portis...

Clinton Portis on love and lust
Tuesday, I suggested that the new Clinton Portis was boring. Tuesday, I was an idiot.
During a late afternoon appearance with Dan LeBatard, Portis broke out a Dolla Bill moment for the first time in years, talked about his stripper pole, and answered a question from LeBatard’s dad about the first time he fell in love.

After spending most of the day at ESPN, Portis made the trip from Bristol, Connecticut to Stamford for an on-set visit with…

Clinton Portis on Tim Tebow
Having transcribed more Clinton Portis radio interviews than possibly any living human, I was thrilled to learn that the former Redskins star would be on both Mike & Mike and Colin Cowherd’s program during a Tuesday trip to Bristol. Portis made headlines virtually every Tuesday in D.C., and this would be like a nostalgic trip to free blog traffic land.

Third Quarter Thoughts

Through the first three quarters, Helu has 21 rushes for 105 yards. By cracking the century mark, Helu is the new standard of consistency among rookie running backs, becoming the first in his 2011 draft class to rush for three consecutive 100-yard games.
He is also the first Redskins rookie running back in franchise history to pull off this feat.

Even though Coach Mike Shanahan is reluctant to admit that the Redskins are in a rebuilding phase, it is exactly the path he is leading the team right now.
It was apparent back in March when Andre Carter, Derrick Dockery and Clinton Portis were released for various reasons. In April, the youth movement continued as the Redskins war room managed to produce 12 new picks when they...

Bart Scott: Redskins/Ravens rivalry was based on strippers
Oh, Bart Scott. Please don't ever stop talking. When you open your mouth, magical things happen.
The latest little miracle to come from Bart was on The Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York. Scott was comparing the Jets/Giants rivalry to the Ravens/Redskins rivalry, and implied that the intensity of a geographic NFL rivalry is contingent on the number of local strippers. Via Sports Radio...

Clinton Portis’ Early Retirement
As recently as 2008, Clinton Portis was pretty awesome. Just last October he was the Redskins’ starting running back. Now, one year later and seemingly as healthy as a 30-year-old with 2,230 career carries can be, he’s probably finished. The timeline:
Nov. 24, 2010 — Portis goes on injured reserve with a groin injury. We give our thanks later that day.

Torain Credits Hightower For Pass-Blocks

The trade for Tim Hightower this offseason brought a running back to Washington that was well-versed in pass-protection. A running back that can perform in all three facets of the game offers the offense more possibilities while he’s in the game, something that has been missing since Clinton Portis in his prime.
But now that Hightower’s season has ended on...

UM is struggling, and for once it is not the offense holding them back.
Senior quarterback Jacory Harris is looking like the passer Canes fans wish he could become, rather than the mistake-prone source of worry he had been for most of the past two seasons. And running back Lamar Miller has become a freakish combination of Clinton Portis and Willis McGahee, prone to score from any...
