Maddenisms

Sorry, one more before I go to bed… how creepy is it when John Madden says “penetration”?

John Never Said It Would Be This Fun!

Since I bought my PlayStation 2, I’ve bought just one game, Jak and Daxter. I’ve rented half a dozen now, and have found what will probably be the next member of my permanent collection: Madden 2003. Other than some unfortunate choice of music with profanity in it in the menus, the game is great. The […]

Monday Night Recap

I’m sure you’ve read all about it already, but I was there. Ok, I wasn’t there there, but I was in the stadium. Yes, we made it to Monday Night Football last night. It took us two hours to get there, a mile of walking past tailgaters, port-a-potties and up four stadium levels of ramps […]

The Redskins have a new

The Redskins have a new coach. I’m a little surprised it all happened this quickly, but I guess I shouldn’t be. The short owner isn’t known for acting with deliberation. Now they have a coach who will at least make them entertaining. I’ll be interested to see who they get as GM. That’s the real […]

“I thought Tony was

“I thought Tony was fine,” Schottenheimer said. “He missed a few throws, but with the exception of Brett Favre everybody misses a few throws. What we want to do is keep working with the guys we’ve got and try to get Tony more and more comfortable with all the receivers.” That has got to be […]

Ask and ye shall receive.

Ask and ye shall receive. The Redskins have cut Jeff George! (story @ CNNSI) Wow, now what? Tony Banks? Oh yeah, baby, can you say 0-16?
