A good friend in the Cincinnati area, the Redskins playing at the Bengals, why not a road trip? The two day excursion continues, on day one we visited a bona fide Bengals bar, shopped downtown and drank whiskey out in the country. Day two was all about the game...=====So much for sleeping in on a road trip away from the kids, like me, my good friend Lee from the old school of Charlottesville...

Ohai guise. Curly R is calling Super Bowl 45 for the Packers over the Steelers by 27-24. Enjoy the game, this is a Super Bowl open thread.

Goats go to ClevelandSomeone had to go in Baltimore, after the Ravens defense gave up a long drive and score to seal the Steelers win over the Ravens in the AFC Division playoff round, after receivers Derrick Mason and TJ Housmandzadeh both dropped passes in the final moments, Ravens team leadership huddled up and... decided to fire the quarterbacks coach.That would of course mean...

vs. My Take in 60 Words or Less: All that is left is spoiling. So go do it. I'm going to the Eagles-Cowboys game. /2010season

at May Take in 60 Words or Less: The notion that Donovan McNabb's agent could go on the attack and not be representing his client is total ********. Donovan is simply trying to avoid confrontation so he lied to Kyle Shanahan. Simple as that.NFL helmets from here.

Bringing down the wrath of Redskins fansIf you are the guy running the Fire Mike Shanahan blog and you have not posted since September and you are still there and want some traffic, I would suggest you check the headlines.http://fireshanahan.blogspot.com/Mike Shanahan: AP Photo from here.

I'll speak slowly for the trolls and nitwits and the head coachThere are three reasons putting Rex Grossman in the game, even for a play, is a bad idea:1. There is a better quarterback on the roster. His name is Donovan McNabb.2. The better quarterback is healthy.3. The better quarterback is under contract for 2011.These reasons notably do not include any discussion of Rex Grossman...

Working on a midday post about butthurt Eagles fans pissed that Donovan McNabb is not in the running for the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season because for him to have done so would have meant Philadelphia's 2011 draft pick from the trade that brought Dono here would have accelerated from a fourth rounder to a third.In the meantime, check out that 'do. No gauge on the year...

Like the Redskins: Great idea, poor executionBack in September, just a couple of games into the 2010 season, the Washington Post launched an iPhone app called Football Insider, a brilliant play designed to bolster the flow of eyeballs to what is already consistently the most popular topic of coverage for the paper, the Washington Redskins.A great appliance app in concept and basic...

Less than a year and look how much it has agedRight now I am a depressed and confused Redskins fan, depressed because we are hurtling toward yet another postseason in which I watch lots of football yet none of it includes my beloved team and confused because I am getting lots of mixed signals about quarterback Donovan McNabb:Donovan McNabb having his worst season since his rookie...

vs. My Take in 60 Words or Less: Are you there god? It's me Ben, if you have to give us a demoralizing blowout where the Redskins are the child being fed live to the giant python, at least please don't let have Donovan McNabb get hurt.In other news, Santana Moss, Albert Haynesworth, LaRon Landry and Carlos Rogers are all inactive. Great.

It's a blog. NOT ******* TWITTER!Wherein we discuss the end of meaningful Redskins football in 2010.Image by me with apologies to Advice Dog.

at My Take in 60 Words or Less: I have no idea how to call this game, I have no idea who is going to show up for either team, I really hope the Redskins do not roll over and give the Vikings their one game new coach bump win on the road.

Their paths diverged from hereThursday night was an important night for former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann. It was his second game as color analyst for the NFL Network's Thursday games, Joe had been out of the game game since getting shitcanned by ESPN after the 2006 season in favor of Ron Jaworski on Monday Night Football. Up to that moment Joe Theismann had been a...
