Keyshawn Johnson is a hired mouthpiece, paid on his ability to talk smack from the comfort of an analyst chair. The same analyst chair once occupied by Rush Limbaugh, so that should tell you how much value accompanies the gig.

If you woke up this morning still a fan of Washington football, you should give yourself a pat on the back. There was very little to take away from their 23-17 loss to the New York Giants that would suggest the team is close to competing for an NFC East title, which is what the [...]

Which Jason Campbell is the quarterback Washington football fans can check for this year? The quarterback that is maligned and halfway out of town? Or is he the second coming of Doug Williams, as Clinton Portis has so eloquently stated recently?

The Ravens cut the majority of the wide receivers they brought in through draft and free agency, and from all appearances, seem comfortable with the core of Derrick Mason, Demetrius Williams, Mark Clayton and Kelley Washington.

Daniel Snyder and the Economics of Fan Stupidity
September 03, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
Every knowledgeable fan knows that an NFL owner, in this case Daniel Snyder, makes money off of the sweet seats in luxury boxes, not off the yokels who buy single tickets. So to be fair, the Washington NFL franchise has every right to pursue funds owed them by delinquent purchasers...
