I read Jason Reid's Analysis Behind the Sherman Lewis Hiring and shake my head. Leave it to Daniel Snyder to make the wrong move at the wrong time. In Lewis' case, he's the right candidate for something, but comes, oh, two training camps and 20 games too late. I know Sherman Lewis, by reputation. Though he had departed by the time I arrived at Michigan State University back in 19-long-ago, Sherman Lewis was ...

It's all in how you think of it, people. Washington crushed Tampa Bay by three points. A three point margin is as good as 30 when it comes to a win. Sure, we'd rather a three pointer over the Eagles and a 30 pointer over the Buccaneers. Beggars can't be choosers. When was it ever easy to beat the Bucs? Besides, we saw three seeds of leadership over the past few days ...

If the NFL again realigns the divisions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get my vote to join the NFC East. The Dungy-Gruden years marked the Bucs as a tough-nosed, grind-you-down team that characterize the Beast. The Buccaneers gave the Redskins the toughest games of anyone outside the division. If you take Washington's problems and triple them and you would have Tampa Bay. The Redskins are a .500 club that could reach 10-6 if they ...

Michael Vick made an entirely too clandestine visit to D.C. to preach against the dangers of dog fighting. he gave his message to a group of at risk...churchgoers. The story of Vick's visit appears in today's Washington Post and on www.churchsolutionsmag.com. According to The Post, Vick expressed the false glamour of the thug life and its impact on his family. "Anything can happen when you're fighting dogs at two or three in the ...

This is what my football world is coming to. Writing what other people write about the Washington Redskins is more interesting than what I have to say. Today I'm a shill for Sports Illustrated. Ben Kaplan at timeinc.com tells me that in this weekÆs Sports Illustrated Poll, 296 NFL players were asked ôWho is the Most Dominant Defensive Player in the NFL?öá Most players picked Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (19 ...

Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn says that DT Albert Haynesworthástrained aáglut muscle high in the hip area during the Detroit game Sunday. Translation: He fell on his butt and it hurts. Not as much as watching your $41 million guaranteed free agent sprawled on the floor of Ford Field. The Redskins defense also took a shot to the rear in Detroit. Lions head coach Jim Schwartz was Haynesworth's defensive coordinator at the Tennessee ...

Every organization on a grand quest faces a crisis. The ones that face it down and chew it up, go on to great things. Let's be frank, weáembarrassed ourselves in Detroit (Yes, I'm a "we" fan). Now, players and coachesásurely look in the mirroráquestioning their confidence. The 'Skins season is now at stake and team can go in any direction; most likely, the wrong one. The time has now come for leadership ...

With a deep sense of shame and guilt, I confess. I left the sports bar at half-time of the Redskins-Lions game and went grocery shopping. It seemed a better use of my time. While standing in the check-out line, I got to thinking about the auto industry cliches we are bound to hearáall weekáin the wake of the Skins' 19-14 loss. Skins rear-ended by Lions. Speedbump on the road to the playoffs. Another bailoutáfor ...

10. Jim Zorn's initials are JZ which is the same as Jay-Z ,who is married to Beyonce'. This makes Zorn "Destiny's Child." That's how you like it, people. You know you do.9. Kanye West says Jim Zorn makes the best game tapes and deserves to stay.8. When Sonny Jurgensen questions Zorn's game calling ability, he's lying.7. Back in '64, this town wanted to fire coach Abraham Lincoln. He would go ...

I woke up Tuesday morning with a severe case of Peyton-envy with complications of Ronnie Brown-envy. It developed while watching the first two series of the Indianapolis Colts vs. Miami Dolphins game Monday night. That and the Cowboys vs. Giants game Monday night.Score. Answer. Move. Counter-move. Throw. Catch. Run. Touchdown.I wondered more than once during that game if our guys could do that?This post won't launch another slam of the ...
