Your Skins Starting QB Against the Eagles....... WHO CARES!?!?

Does it really matter who starts at Qb for the skins this week? Or for the remainder of the season? I mean, seriously. there are plenty of games left in which the Skins can turn this mess around and finish with a winning record... but does anyone out there think this will happen? The way I see it, even if JC is starting, with that mess of an O-line in front of him, it will merely be a matter of time before he's hurt and in comes Todd Collins.

The more important story is Jim Zorn is toast, whether he deserves to be or not, and the main guy that should be going is the teams personnel head, Vinny Cerrato.

Thank god for Caps hockey!

WOW... The Skins are a Mess!

Its been awhile, sorry everyone for the delay, but my god some shits gone down in the last few months. Lets start at the top. The Redskins are a mess. Its not like any of us didnt see this coming. I mean, yeah we love to be the "offseason champs" every season, Haynesworth and Hall - Great additions, but seeing how our average at best QB of the future Jason Campbell was sitting on his ass most of last season play after play, dont you think they should've perhaps addressed the O-Line? Samuels - gone now for possibly the season/career, and once again injured Randy Thomas on the shelf, leaves Rabach and Dockery as the only starters left? Santana Moss, a great number 2 receiver, Randle El, a great number 3 option (see what I'm gettin at here? -- there's no legit number 1!!). Portis - past his prime, and Cooley - the offense's probably best overall option on offense - is being forced to stay in and block because there's no O-line...

Is all of this Zorn's fault? Probably not - all the recent draft picks are busts (as par usual in DC), and the team did nothing (outside of bringing back Derrick Dockery) to correct this offense. Zorn's unbridled honesty in post-loss press conferences, doesnt help his situation when he's explaining challenges, play calling, and the F-ing reasons he gives that the Skins seem to use up all of their time outs before the 4th quarter even starts! Greg Blache - Defensive coordinator has boycotted the media. (I mean the defense is the best part of this team - but this boycott is another part of the 3-ring circus in DC).

Ok - so whose at blame for this complete and utter mess? A lot of people say owner Dan Snyder... but how can you blame the guy that pays for all of the players to come in, with no football knowledge other than the fact he's owner and a lifelong skins fan. How bout blame the guy who's sole job is to manage the teams personnel.. Vinny Cerrato. What has this guy done right since being here. I mean, when Gibbs was here, the Skins took somewhat of a step back from lavish offseason spending, and looked more for solid character guys. Dan's always going to be aggressive in his pursuit of high profile free agents that fit the teams current needs, but the draft has been atrocious, and failure to address the teams obvious weaknesses this past offseason has to put the blame directly on Cerrato's head. Zorn has been a victim of circumstance... He was hired to be O-Coordinator (with no prior experience at play calling outside of college), and they decided to make him head coach. He's probably in way over his head, but its definitely not completely his fault. Personnel is the obvious first flaw, and secondly new coaching is needed at least to help right the ship until better personnel can be brought in.

Should we root for the Skins to continue to lose to winless teams each week so that the wrecking ball comes harder and faster? Either way, its a bad bad bad bad time to be a Skins fan. Break out the paper bags!

Orioles Pitching = The Cure for your Shitty Average

Not hitting the ball very well? Seems that everything you do hit is right at someone? Introducing the cure to all of your blues. Try hitting off of "Terrible Orioles Pitchers", by Blammo. Look O's fans, outside of Koji, and Guthrie until recently, O's pitching has been horrendous. When will Radhames Liz stop getting a chance? And Brian Bass? His season pretty much went down the shitter on his first outing when he threw a simple comebacker about 8 feet over Greg Zauns head allowing more runs to score. Believe me, I know the O's plan, and I see the light at the end of the tunnel with all the stud arms down on the farm. These guys can plain hit, but man they give up some runs. I guess it could be worse... they could be the Nats.

2009 Schedule released

WOw .. has it really been almost a month since my last post? I mean its honestly been that time of year - so much shit goin on - my heads been spinnin (March Madness, NHL/NBA Playoffs, MLB season is underway)... not to mention, I've been playin the shit out of MLB the Show on PS3... (its sick!)... Ok... now onto some important business..

On Tuesday night the NFL released the schedule for the upcoming season. NFL Network and ESPN had schedule release specials... (Personally I feel its a little overkill, but I understand the show is for mostly the fucktards out there that have yet to hear about this thing called THE INTERNET - its much easier to check your teams schedule that way, than to waste an hour of your valuable time)... ANYWHO.. I felt this would be a good time to lay out our predictions for the SKins this year, now that the schedule has been released.... HERE WE GO!

Week 1 AT NYGIANTS: At least this time its not on Thursday night on prime time, in front of the whole fucking country, and at least this time there will be NO Plexi-glass burress burnin up the skins secondary. Skins win a squeaker... (record 1-0)

Week 2 at home vs the RAMS: Wow we blew this game big time last year... team was winless coming into Washington and we handed one over to them. Skins usually win the home openers and this one will be a bit of a revenge game.. (record 2-0)

Week 3 at LIONS: We get to play the Lions again?!?! Nuff said (record 3-0) (thank you NFL Schedule gods)

Week 4 vs Bucs: Normally I'd say this is going to be a physical, tough game, but didnt the Bucs, like release everybody including their coach? (record 4-0)

Week 5 at Panthers: This is the part of the year where the Skins get there first wakup call. I kind've remember last year in preseason when the Panthers pretty much stomped the skins like 28-0 in the first half of a game where the starters were playing much of the game, and Campbell was on his back fumbling multiple times, gasping for air after a monstrous sack (record 4-1)

Week 6 vs Chiefs: See also week 2 vs Lions (record 5-1)

Week 7 vs Eagles *Monday night on ESPN: God I hate Philly. Skins beat 'em both times last year. This is the last game before the bye week. I'd love to say we'd win this one, but havin a feeling this is going to be a tough one. (record 5-2)

Week 8 bye week: week off - drop it likes it hot

Week 9 AT Falcons: Normally I'd say this is going to be a tough game as well, but following the bye week ya gotta go with the Skins. (record 6-2)

Week 10 vs Broncos: No Jay Cutler - No defense - Rookie Head Coach - Home game - West coast teams lost pretty much every game last year when playing a game at 1pm on the East Coast (record 7-2)

Week 11 AT Cowboys: I fucking hate Dallas - even with TO gone - still I hate them. We always usually split (although, I'd like to take this opportunity to able to replay Haynesworth squishing Romo on Jerry's brand new 50 yd long big screen). (record 7-3)

Week 12 AT Eagles: I have them beating us at home, so we win this one in Philly (record 8-3)

Week 13 vs Saints: Somehow we beat this team at home last year when it was warm - assuming this one will be a cold one in December. Cant see us winning both. (record 8-4)

Week 14 AT Raiders: You ask HOW could we LOSE this game? My thoughts exactly (we lost to San Fran AT san fran last year). (record 8-5)

Week 15 vs Giants *MONDAY night ESPN: This one is getting close to playoff time. (See also last years choking 2nd half collapse). (record 8-6)

Week 16 vs Cowboys * SUNDAY night NBC: Look, we split every year (almost) (record 9-6)

Week 17 AT Chargers: Obviously this is a long way away. Zornstar trying to save his job with a win and Skins in the playoffs vs (ex-skins coach) Norv most likely trying to save his job with the bolts. Isnt Tomlinson usually hurt by now? (record 9-7)

Hey, sometimes 9-7 gets us into the playoffs. Sometimes it gets us our head coach fired, millions thrown at more free agents during the offseason, and 3 more wide receivers and a punter drafted in the offseason.

Yeah, I'm a Homer but I'm also a realist. Is Anquan Boldin still available?

A-ROD Photo Shoot

A-Rod posed for a photo shoot in Details magazine - just before Selena Roberts leaked the info about him testing positive for steroids in 2003. The article goes on to say about A-Rod calling up worrying about leaking information about his favorite Madonna song.

"Last night, he let slip his favorite Madonna
song. The curious relationship between A-Rod and the pop icon makes for
delicious gossip, of course. Is Rodriguez terrified that Madonna will resent the
tongue-wagging? Or, better still, has he picked the wrong song as his favorite,
and fears that an offended Madge might march her stilettos over his back? No:
Rodriguez believes that revealing the song would lead to its being played every
time he stepped to the plate during an away game"

I'm just picturing A-Rod's first at-bat this season at Camden Yards, as "Like a Virgin", or "La Isla Bonita" is being screamed over the sound-system. Even better, is if the Orioles would show a large photo of Skeletor, er, Madonna, I meant, on the big screen during the at-bat.

"I'm strong enough, I'm good enough, and Dog-gonit, People Like me"

Breaking News from the "DUH" section ....

The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that the NBA is reconsidering their traveling rules (possibly making 2 extra steps legal?).... ummm... like its been called since like 1985... (?).

Secondly, the Kansas State Senate actually endorsed a resolution today, top stop Kansas from ever again playing a basketball team that starts with "B" in the month of march... Glad to see everyones hard-earned tax dollars being put to work!

The Nutt Brothers.. what a crazy bunch

Southeast Missouri State hired the brother of Mississippi head football coach Houston Nutt to coach their basketball team.... His name... Dickey Nutt. Not certain what Mr and Mrs Nutt were thinking when they were naming their son, but apparently, like his brother, he can coach.

NHL to Curb Fighting?

The NHL is proposing a new set of rules to curb fighting. Basically, they're voting on harsher penalties for "instigating" fights, and looking for ways to slow down retaliating from hard hits...

I say this is bullshit. I mean really, this just will mean HARDER hits, more broken necks, etc. (believe me I'm all for that too), but fighting will alleviate this. Look if someone is upset and he feels that he got "hit too hard", then yeah, he should get a penalty for starting a fight.




Probably start a lot of fights with this guy...

Bon Voyage Jason Taylor

The Skins released Jayson Taylor today, after Taylor refused to re-work his contract and add in mandatory offseason workouts at the team facilities - basically rendering last years trade for a 2nd and 6th round pick useless. Another wasted pickup for the offseason champs. Bon Voyage Jason... thanks for nothing.

Don Cherry - Just Shut Yer Mouth!

Don Cherry doesn't like the way Alex Ovechkin and co. celebrate after goals. He finds the 3 second fist pump, or jumping ontop of teammates to be too far over the top for him. When asked about Cherry's comments, Ovie replied with "He's a funny guy and and old guy. He likes old-fashioned hockey". Hey Ovie, what about "He stole my grandma's table cloth and is wearing it on TV".




Bottom line, how should Ovie react after he scores a goal. Let me tell you why you notice there, Don. Ovechkin scores.... a lot, and the only reason that YOU don't like it is because your little BITCH boy Crosby is always whining after playing the Caps ("Wahhh he hit me", "I dont like how he celebrates a goal, blah blah blah "). What a douche
