After a solid 13-5 regular season my “Lock of the Week” it gets harder from here. Only 4 games, all good teams, and some slim point spreads. Undeterred, I forge ahead with Mr. X by my side, trying to sort out Saturday and Sunday’s games. Also, Reuben Foster update, how “Da Pope” sounds alot like […] Read more
Mike Tomlin survives amidst the Antonio Brown chaos in Pittsburgh. How much of it is his fault? I talk to two big anti-Tomlites today. RIP three legends of the 70’s and 80’s: The Captain, Mean Gene, and SuperDave. Alex Ovetchkin is skipping the All-Star game, and I can’t get behind that. Read more
File this under “they don’t make ’em like they used to” but looking back at the 1984 North American box office, it looks like the 1927 Yankees of film. So how come it seems like we might only get 2 or 3 good flicks per year now? Antonio Brown wants a trade, but keeps buying […] Read more
If an NFL team was penalized 4 spots of draft position each round for a relatively minor league rules infraction, that team would likely scream bloody murder! And yet… simply winning a single meaningless game sometimes achieves the same penalty. When will coaches and teams wake up? Black Monday claims 1/4 of the league’s coaches. […] Read more
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy we have a 4-teamer, and I’d even be okay with it expanding to 8. Although I am not sure it will “solve” too many of the current gripes, nor deliver a more compelling product to watch. Truth of the matter is, college football just isn’t the NFL. The Redskins […] Read more
Holy kneecap-splitters boys and girls, an entirely too huge edition of F5WF for your consumption on this final week of the regular season! Which teams can avoid the final weekend choke? Will Tua vs. Kyler live up to the hype? What constitutes a “meaningless” game? And why do NFL kickers “choke” on the longer XP? […] Read more
So I was explaining to my lovely wife and daughter why certain football fields this time of year look better than others. They were rather amazed. I also told her that my inept team’s field is garbage because they put basically no money into it. It all started when I told them that a quartet […] Read more
What’s the saying… “damned if they do… damned if they don’t?” I think the Redskins did the RIGHT thing in letting a fake “leader” go after repeated warnings to keep things “in-house.” But sadly, Redskins fans deep and abiding hatred and mistrust of the organization’s suits, that they have somehow made this guy into a […] Read more
If you ever wanted to know the brief, and un-official history of my family’s Christmases through the years… boy have you come to the right place! I hope you had as many wonderful boyhood memories as I did, and loving parents like mine. A happy childhood is a gift that lasts forever. I will always […] Read more
When the head coach says that phrase, it would behoove the entire organization to believe it. Many Redskins loss are hare-brained. Some are comical. Some, shameful. A rare breed is the TRUE “heartbreaker” like this one was. A masterfully executed gameplan, which came undone at the very end. Pity. 11:00 – The Skins Heartbreak in […] Read more
