Despite my continued optimism about how America will look by July 1st and how it will look again by September 1st, I don't really want to give too much voice to that here. That's because, in part, optimists who turn out being wrong, come off as suckers. Suckers at best. Read more
The Redskins built the wrong stadium, in the wrong place, and we've been paying for it steadily every year that the team has been out there. Yes, it hasn't helped that the team has sucked for 30 years, but the stadium site has been awful, and Dan Snyder just might be going back for another taste. Read more
I'm all for new ideas — creative things to keep sports from getting stale. But I'm not for stupid ideas and stupid is knocking on the NFL’s door and it looks like the NFL is going to let stupid in at the Pro Bowl this year. Read more
Aaron Rodgers is 36 years old now and will be turning 37 during next season. Rodgers is not the problem with the Packers. But the thing is, he's also not the answer. Read more
This NFL Championship Sunday features four stories. In a league that's really a TV show about quarterbacks, it's of course about the quarterbacks this weekend. But it's also about a whole lot more . . . Read more
Redskins team President Bruce Allen spoke to the media on Tuesday in a non-one-on-one setting, taking all comers and all questions. It was 1,483 days in the making. The last time he did so, was December 31, 2014 at Redskins Park. That event is now known in Redskins lore as the “Winning Off The Field” […] Read more
It still feels to me that Lamar Jackson is being needlessly graded on a curve by some pundits and ex-players in the NFL commentariat. If slavery is indeed America's "original sin" that still haunts our efforts at racial conciliation, then the running, athletic, black quarterback is the NFL's equivalent. Sunday, as Lamar Jackson struggled mightily against the Chargers in a lose-and-stay-home elimination playoff game, one couldn't help but feel the... Read more
Many have asked me “what happened” or implored me to explain “the real story” about my departure from “Bob and Brian in The Morning.” Well…. the “real story” of what happened is quite simple and occurs all the time in the world of radio. My contract term was coming to an end. Another opportunity presented […] Read more
The Washington Redskins are an utterly failed state. There are no governing principles, and the failed state’s downtown capital city (in our case, our “home” stadium FedEx Field) is a shoddy, depressing, scary place. Aside from hostiles, it’s a ghost town of law abiding citizens. Dan Snyder is the all powerful dictator who lords over […] Read more
The Great Adrian Fucking Peterson. Remind me to never ever ever doubt him again. Going into this game, my weeklong lament was that I couldn’t believe that the “best we have” at RB was a 34 year old legend who is now nursing three separate injuries after just 4 games (shoulder, ankle, knee). Well, guess […] Read more
