I Like Pink: The NFL’s Effort To Raise Awareness Is a Plus
Posted: 13th October 2009 by K. D. James in NFL
I don't have an effeminate bone in my body, as I'd rather watcháboxing than America's Next Top Model, a violent action movie to a chick flick any day.á
I don't shave my legs, go for manicures or pedicures, and it's hard for me toáknow whether a womanáhas extensions in her hair.á
I could not be able to distinguish a mini from a midi (audio file extensions?) or what the heck "tulle"áis, either.
But ...
Feel it cominÆin the air/
And theáscreams from everywhere/
IÆm addicted to the thrill/
ItÆs a dangerous love affair.
á
CanÆt be scared when it goes down/
Gotta problem, tell me now/
Only thing that's on my mind/
Is whoÆs gonna run this town tonight?
á
RihannaÆs cute, Bajan lilt on theáhook of Jay-ZÆsásong may have you in a frenzy, but it's really the young Washington Capitalsáwho run this town.

Yes, thatÆs no misprintùhockey and the Caps own Washington, ...
I'm not a legitimate pigskin prognosticator like SI pros Peter King and Dr. Paul Zimmerman, but I'm going to try my first attempt for this week's games. If I can pick at least 11/14 of the Week 4 games correctly, then I'll have another pick'em for Week 5; if I get fewer than 75%, no more game predictions on here again. Ever.
Let me know what you think.Begin Slideshow
Wake Me Up When September Ends: Washington Gives Detroit New Life
Posted: 28th September 2009 by K. D. James in NFL
Great, just great, Redskins. You made Billy Joe Armstrong of Green DayÆs words ring true, with a forgettable 1-2 record in the month of September. What happened since last year? At this point last year, you were 3-1.
Great, just great, Redskins. You made me lose my breakfast. And lunch.

Great, just great, Redskins. You, as FOX TV analyst (and former NY Giant) Michael Strahan simply put it, ôquitö in the ...
Redskins-Rams: Five Likes and Dislikes from Washington’s Week Two Win
Posted: 23rd September 2009 by K. D. James in NFL
It's a "W." Yes, it's a flippin' "W."
But what a stinker of a win for this squad, squeezing past the woebegone St. Louis Rams like a tube of toothpaste, 9-7, at home (a 7-1 record in home openers for the past eight seasons).
There were a lot of positives, yet so many more negatives, most notably on the offensive side.
I'm happy that the team won, and the crowd was into the ...
Ugh. To paraphrase 32nd U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's somber words from his speech to Congress on Dec. 7, 1941, but Sept. 13, 2009, should be the day that the Washington Redskins shall live in infamy.
The first game of the season at the Meadowlands was ugly from beginning to start for Washington, losing 23-17 to the New York Giants.
The first drive seemed promising on a big run by Redskins running back Clinton ...
“Mr. November,” “Mr. Bachelor” Now “Mr. No. 1 In Team Hits” For No. 2
Posted: 13th September 2009 by K. D. James in MLB
I have let my opinion be known regarding how I feel about the New York Yankees (which is funny, really, considering that the Yankees' provenance developed right in Baltimore, Maryland, 1901). The perennial team of "haves" and World Series titles and the most-prized free agents over the last few decades or so, Team Pinstripes has been an annoyance and the object of my disaffection for years—including when they won the 1996 ...
