Wale’ Live at FedEx Field

Courtesy of Mr. Irrelevant, it’s homegrown hip-hop star Wale performing at halftime of the Redskins-Cowboys game.

Unfortunately, this would be the most solid performance out of D.C. on the night.

Troy Smith Makes Trade Demand Via Agent’s Twitter Account

Troy Smith wants to be traded from Baltimore. Not the least bit surprising for a former Heisman Trophy winner who has held his own in relief duty from the Ravens.
What is weird is that his agent let the world know via Twitter, which I guess is the new press release.
“Ravens QB Troy Smith, Ohio State [...]

How Daniel Snyder Can Immediately Improve the Redskins

Part of the reason that Daniel Snyder continues to bring in coach after coach, free agent after free agent, and losing season after losing season is because its profitable for him. For as much as thousands of fans lament the sad state of the franchise, and its inability to find continuity beyond its annual coronation [...]

Too Much Big Love for Big Ben on Ravens-Steelers Broadcast?

It’s one thing for network commentators to openly display man crushes for Ben Roethlisberger. It’s another when they continue to refer to him during the game by his moniker.
For all the things Dick Enberg and Dan Fouts did well in their CBS telecast of Sunday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, I can’t [...]

The Ravens Love Penalties. And Wish to Marry Them

What exactly has the Baltimore Ravens infatuated with penalties? Is it that they absolutely have to protect the brand of defense they’ve built over the year? Are they not able to be fast and furious without a late hit out of bounds?
Are they so unsure of their blocking technique that they have to hold or [...]

Albert Haynesworth Falls Down on the Job

Maybe Albert Haynesworth hates Greg Blache, and maybe he’s exactly right to require a better system by which the Redskins can wreak havoc. And yes; maybe $100 million dollars should buy him a little more input on how to improve a system that is pretty darn good.
But even if the Redskins’ defensive scheme was the [...]

Why Ed Reed Should Retire

It’s all coming to an end for the Baltimore Ravens. The smothering defense, the happy-go-disciplined approach to the game. The youthfulness of playing football. Time and coaching acumen have all caught up to the Baltimore Ravens, and one of its best defenders sits on the sideline with a difficult decision that has just one possible [...]

Interviewing Jerry Gray Doesn’t Make the Redskins Less Racist

So, the Redskins would have us believe that because they got a flighty, minority assistant coach to conduct a token interview for a not-yet-vacant head coaching gig, that they aren’t a racist organization?
Please.
We’ve had the discussion about what’s in a name, and for all intents and purposes on their end, the Redskins have succeeded in [...]

George Kokinis Suing Browns for $4 Million

Only the hapless Cleveland Browns could fire the idiot that hired Eric Mangini, be sued, and possibly lose the case.
Yep, so glad that he’s FORMER Ravens executive George Kokinis.

How Jim Zorn Will Dismantle the Redskins Franchise

Not that he needs that much help, because Daniel Snyder has already done such a fine job of it. But if Snyder is going to fire Jim Zorn, it will cost him much more than the remaining terms of the contract. It’s going to cost him players, fans, and likely, league-wide respectability, if there was such [...]
