keys to the game:

-knee brace stays upright (maybe scrambles for a first down?!)

-skins pound the ball with multi-back attack and keep McNabb off the field

-distribute the bean: Thrash catches another 40+ yarder like last year in Philly

-Portis' Ma breaks a Yuengling bottle over Iggles fan's head

keys to the game:

Let's make it simpler. It can be done it ten words or less:

Run the ball.
Attack, you idiot!

I guess "Sweet Pea" Portis really is a son of a B.

OK,OK
I've been out of town the past few days. Was I missed?

It will take me all of tonight to read everything so i can say I'm 'caught up.' Until then my lovelies ...

*hugs*

regarding running the ball...
just for kicks i'd like to see portis carry one play, betts carry the next and sellers carry the next and then rock and then tj (if he's active that week) and start the loop over.

that'll show andy reid who called the washington offense "EXPLOSIVE" on 980 yesterday.

but seriously (with 1/4 cup of wishful thinking) i'd say the iggles are reeling, fans are restless, they want andy's head, mcnaab's head and if you get up on them early it'll be all downhill running for the skins from there.

Now I know who not to accidently spill beer on when I'm at FedEx... Mama Portis.

Megskin is right. Run the ball, Attack you Idiot! is all we need. I'm actually starting to feel really good about this weekend. Not good enough to bench McNabb on my fantasy team, but good enough to think the Skins can take it to Philly like Mama Portis.

dealer's got it right- get their crowd to turn on 'em early and we have a chance

Shouldn't Fauria have a cast on his arse instead? Ware whipped it several times last week.

The talking heads on Sportscenter were saying that Philly has a soft run defense. I was unaware of this development. If that is so, I hope our unsung hero, the downhill dumptruck, lays some wood on Mr. Sandbag (J. Trotter).

I know I've said this before, but seriously, that guy should have been named Jerimiah Paycheck. Took the money and put his feet up until Gibbs showed him the door. Then he decided to start playing again once he got back to Philly.

Flatten him, dumptruck!

Frank was excited about his new rifle. So, he went bear hunting. He spotted a small brown bear and shot it. There was then a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around to see a big black bear.
The black bear said: "You've got two choices.
I either maul you to death or we have rough sex."

Frank decided to bend over. Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Frank soon recovered and vowed revenge. He headed out on another trip where he found the black bear and shot it.

There was another tap on his shoulder.

This time a huge grizzly bear stood right next to him. The grizzly says: "That was a huge mistake, Frank. You've got two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have REALLY rough sex."

Again, Frank thought it was better to comply. Although he survived, it would take several months before Frank finally recovered. Outraged he headed back to the woods, managed to track down the grizzly and shot it.

He felt sweet revenge, but then there was a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to find a giant polar bear standing there.

The polar bear says:
"Admit it, Frank, you don't come here for the hunting, do you?"

OK,OK

Didn't something similar happen to Iverson's mother in Philly? I don't follow basketball like Ido the NFC east but I vaguely remember that ...

Are loco mullin and Sallie Mae the same person????

Never forget that philly is the worst place in the union...

OK,OK
Lisa - no. And someone else is posting as SallieMae also - I found on Monday's blog after I left work (and this blog).

I've been gone since Monday and just returned this PM.

but who really *really* cares? I don't.

*hugs*

split personalities??????

Iggles fans are animals but Dallas is the worst city in the union

Loco and Sallie are the same person.

81 has it right too. Philly is a place of depraved fatties.

OK,Ok - sobe it.

"HI Loco"

"Hi Sallie."

reminds me of my favorite poem ...

"Roses are red
Violets are Blue
I'm schizophrenic
and so am I"

Interesting debate. I still think philly is the worse town we have.

I mean, I hate the cowboys more than the iggles but it's pretty close. The actual city of dallas is not a good city but I feel better about it than I do philly.

Think about those iggle games. When they come to town, there are always the most fights. Everywhere they go, they are the most hated people in the room. Always. That's what's in philly. Right now. They pour things on CP's mom. Of course dallas sucks but I think philly sucks more.

Thoughts?

"interesting debate"

what? if sallie and loco are the same person? good question. lets open the floor for debate.

OK,OK

Just for luck (Hi Meg) ...

On my way back home from this convention earlier today, A state trooper spied my car puttering along at 29 MPH. So he turned on his lights and pulled me ver. Approaching the car, he noticed that five others were inside, and they looked wide-eyed and terribly pale. I pleaded with him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"

"Mam," the officer replies, "You weren't speeding, but driving slower
Than the speed limit can also be dangerous."

"I beg to differ, Officer, I was doing the speed limit exactly:
twenty-nine miles an hour!" I replied.

The trooper, chuckling, explained to him that "29" was the route number, not the speed limit )I was on Lee Hwy). A bit embarrassed, I grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out his error.

"But before I let you go, Mam, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car
ok? These guys with you seem awfully shaken."

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute," I said. "We just got
Off Route 110."

Loco Sallie?
Mullin Mae?

And GREAT JOKE Sallie ROTL

Um, that is the oldest joke in the world. Original content, please. Or attribute it.

A Dallas-Philly Comparison:

Stadium Newness: Philly
Stadium With Most Mismatched Aluminum Siding: Dallas
Greater Majority of Bandwagon Fans: Dallas
Bigger Belt Buckles: Dallas
Hotter Women: Dallas (my wife's included here)
Better Public Transportation: Even
More Impressive Historical Claim to Fame: Dallas (was it's own country)
Cheaper Beer: Dallas
Fan Ruthlessness: Philly (by a landslide)
Bigger Egos: Even
More Likelihood of Getting Mugged: Philly

In the end - they both suck

SallieMae mullin
¡Loco en la cabeza!
Not OK, OK

*hugs*

Philly fans are abhorrible. BUT as a city, I'll take Philly over Dallas any freakin day of the week. At least it has an identity and local color albeit blue coller. Check out: http://www.overheardinphilly.com

pure genius. Sorry, but dumb hats, mechanical bulls and tight jeans don't classify as culture.

loco mullin

What the hell was that? And what does it have to do with Skins?

Philly is the worst hell hole on this earth, what's worse is they claim to have the best cheese-steak which isn't true if anybody on this blog has ever ventured to Marios (in Arlington) at 2am!

Um, that is the oldest joke in the world. Original content, please. Or attribute it.

Are you baldheaded too?

I'll tell you a true Philly story:

When I was about 15 my pops took me to a game with his buddy and his buddy's son. I think his son was 8 or 9.

My dad's friend had some Skin's Juice and hooked up a few field pass' to the away game in Philly.

We walked out on the field and were walking back in. We had on Skins gear....big mistake. Some guy threw a spoon and hit the 8 year old in the face. His dad ran up to the guy and said "You #$%* you hit my son instead of me. Way to go." the guy said "I was aiming for your son."

Guy got thrown out but that's Philly.

Laying down the law
Originality please!
Cindy comes correct

Since Penn Relays are held in Philly. (ex track runner here) And I hate Dallas more than anything. So, I have to say Dallas

Lone Star State and Keystone State - both think they're the business. Can't wait til the Skins give the iggles the business.

However, "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" is a very funny show.

I hate the Cowgirls just as much as everyone else on this blog, but lets not throw mud at belt-buckles and mechanical bulls.

thats just wrong.

Dumb hats speak for themselves.

What's Dallas best known for? Presidential assassination? I'd take Philly over Dallas without question.

Where is our boy Dealer today?

Cindy can we Boofer ban? Remember the bet was he had to show up everyday. Anyone notice he is AWOL the last 3 days again. Really no respect now lol

I've never had their cheesesteaks, but that square pizza is silly.

Good call F&#@ Philly.

You want a silly cheesesteak, hit up Claymont subs in Claymont, DE. Just off 95 ouside of Wilmington.

Oh yeah, eff the iggles and the girls. Your next G-men.

More Impressive Historical Claim to Fame: Dallas (was it's own country)

Umm, I don't know about that one. I think George Washington, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution would diagree with you.

Philly fans are ok as long as the cops douse them with pepper spray first.

OK,OK
jm220 - I thought if we won, he would show up daily for his spanking? He's a no-show?

I still need to read all of this weeks so I'm alittle behind.

BREAKING NEWS

3 days huh ... BOOFER and SallieMae are the same. Both gone 3 days? Coincidental?
A triple identity with Loco? Hmmm ...

SallieMae keep up the good work with the short post. We are all loving it. (hugs hugs lol)

Philly fans are ok as long as the cops douse them with pepper spray first.

Joe in Raleigh something is wrong with you. But that was funny as hell. So there must be something wrong with me as well. lol

3 days huh ... BOOFER and SallieMae are the same. Both gone 3 days? Coincidental?
A triple identity with Loco? Hmmm ...

LMAO! Whoever you that posted that. You have issues. Be nice to SallieMae. Give her credit the post have been short. Hugs Hugs

OK,OK

jm220 - thanks sweetie. Like Isaid earlier, that one bye week was Soooooo boring, I knew a few well placed rants would liventhings up then ... and it did.

Now that we are playing weekly again we don't need too many distractions here now, do we?

*hugs*

I'm off - gotta go pickup the kitties at the kennels. *HUGS* to all my lovelies.

Without a doubt, Dallas is worse than Philly, and in my experience, it's the worst city in the US.
I always ask front-runner Cowboys fans if they have ever even been to Dallas, so far 100% say No, which just reinforces my theory that all Cowboys fans are ignorant, because Dallas is such a lousy city that I don't see how anyone would want to support that place.

I think something is wrong with me. I am starting to warm up to SallieMae. lol

I think something is wrong with me. I am starting to warm up to SallieMae. lol

New policy. Portis Mom to adopt all Skins free agents

Thank you, Jaygee...worst city ever. Truth is most cowpie fans aren't even from Texas.

My favorite photo I have is the one of me urinating on Texas Stadium during the Turkey Day halftime show rehearsals, 2000.

Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836 and existed as the independent Republic of Texas for nearly a decade. It joined the United States in 1845 as the 28th state.

Jeff Hayes a little too much information there.

Damn mile high. Please tell me you didn't remember that from school. lol

History major in college - however - funny story - wife's from dallas and she, until I set the record straight, thought that everyone in the country took Texas history. Got her on some meds and she's much better now.

dude- you try sneaking into that place during t-day rehearsals...amazing feat.

Got her on some meds and she's much better now.

You better hope she doesn't read that. lol You are the man my friend. I give it up to you for remember that one.

thought that everyone in the country took Texas history

Hilarious. Why didn't we know this story last week? Oh man, that's funny.

No way she reads is. Despite being a die hard cowgirls fan she knows to stay in her own blogosphere.

You kidding me - she reminds me every time we go to that god-forsaken state that it is the only state in the union that is permitted to fly its flag the same height as the Stars and Stripes since it was, at one time, its own country.

Who feels smarter?

can Vinny Cerrato take a look at Ma Portis?

Vinny just tried to trade Ma Portis to Denver...

ha! yea, her and 17 picks for Ricky Nattiel

sorry Joe. Should have posted it last week. I'll remember next year.

i actually like philly and the people. i like visiting the city, good history, architecture, good food.

if i had a choice (money was no object) i'd live in nyc and have a vactation home in the bay area and one in hawaii. (and of course root for all the teams from wash dc! nats, les bullez, skins.)

sorry, bay area= SF, San jose, ca...

(tanka, not haiku)

Big Star belt buckles
And mechanical bulls**t
Must be in Dallas
All those doublewide trailers
Sitting on old concrete blocks

(for jm220)

Flying TO Air is a turbulent ride
He is not a player you look to with pride
This Texas Star dancer
Is the biggest cancer
Always sends our boy over to the dark side

Unrelated, but with Damon Huard looking more and more likely to start in KC, what are the chances of Trent Green making a triumphant return to D.C. to run Al Saunders offense?

MV Dame

Thanks bra. (ah Lord Vader crazy breathing)

Dealer good to see you bra.

Bowling Green Dude

A slap in the back of your head. Can we please just develope our young talent? Green is damn near as old and worn out as BenchMark. And the hell with giving away more draft pics

MV Dame and Dealer are you guys going to make the N.O. trip?

John Thompson just had a guest on his radio show, Adam shefter (sp?), who suggested the Jaguars might be looking to trade Byron Leftwich in the off-season and that Leftwich would be intersted in playing for 'skins. Do you see this as a viable option? Or is it not a possibility b/c J. Campbell is the future QB for the 'skins?

Thanks!

skins fan smack in the back of your head. I like big B. But damn it can we please stick with our young talent? And the hell with giving up draft picks.(unless JC looks really bad when he gets in)

SallieMae
Welcome back! You were missed. I enjoyed reading your jokes and rants regardless their origination.

And Jason's Editor - WHO tells original jokes? 99$ of the rest of US in the world hear a good joke and commit it to memory to tell again to friends and family. If what was implied was censorship - shame on the POST for even suggesting such a denial of our rights. Reporters (and Editors) should know all about freedom of speech, etc. NO?

Post away SallieMae - Like Jason posted earlier, those of us who don't want to read it, we can skip it.

And another thing ... notice the diff in the two types of posts between Loco Mullin and Sallie Mae? Sallie Mae is always first person.

They are not the same person posting ...

SallieMae - found a roommate yet?

I think X.Hog has a blog crush on SallieMae.

I know you Skins love former Jaguars QB's. So, I know I'm coming to DC to get paid. Jags will get some great draft picks out of it. I know I will be in QB battle with Trent Green and I will take him.

jm220 - I think I do too.

:-)

X.Hog nothing wrong with that. I wish you two the best. (just make sure we all get an invite.

Can we please stop thinking the grass is greener on the other side? Let's see what Campbell can do. Damn you guys are pushing me to the dark side with this Big B and Green talk. (I can hear Lord Vader voice call me now)

""Portis said a "bogus" law suit has been filed against his mother for an altercation with an Eagles fan...""

It's Philly, who cares? ;)

- Ray

jm220 - I'm with ya dude. but damn ... all the picks we gave up and we still don't know what the kid will do? You know what will happen, right? ... just like Green before, and a couple since, his contract will end, he won't play here, he'll sign on with someone else ... and become a REDSKIN Killer.

Ya heard it here first.

I would love if the Redskins would develop young talent, but the sad reality is, theyre not going to. Never have, never will. I think Green makes a lot more sense than Leftwhich because he knows what Al Saunders is trying to accomplish.

/slaps self in back of the head

... and another thing ... along that last post ... has anyone mentioned on here, the WashPost, or at Redskin Park how much we need a GM?

MY GAME PREDICTION:

Redskins 31 Philly 27.

Portis 88 yards rushing
Betts 112 yards rushing
Vincent 2 interceptions
Archibingus leads team with 12 tackls cuz he can't cover his guy.

Keep dreaming for a GM

http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=21883

X.Hog,

You are being very optimistic.....we have not rushed well all season.....

Yea - leave salliemae alone. she's funny and often the most entertaining poster of the day.

Bowling Green Dude another slaps in back of the head because you guys done push me to the dark side now. (and I was having such a good week)

Your lack of faith in Cambell I finds disturbing. (Lord Vader let him go. damn I love that movie)

Hi Lisa *reaches over and kisses hand*

which part - the 12 tackles? I agree!!

:)

I am done for tonight. For all of those that cry about us every year going after FA. It seems you have now turn into the very thing that you said you hate.

man! i missed me some slappy action.

no, i'm not. i'd love to but i think i'll be needed at home during that week. god willing.

i offered tix cuz i think we may have a free southwest ticket...i'll ask and check with scott.

*programming alert*

there's a 24 hour marathon going on on Nick of Sponge Bob. it started at 8 tonite and will end at 8 tomorrow with a new episode. if you've never gotten into mr. squarepants , now's your chance. all it takes is one episode and you'll be hooked.

this is funny. well maybe you have to be in the right mood. but i found it funny and i suspect it was The Danny.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/09/AR2006110902125.html

I may take you up on the ticket offer Dealer. Who am I going to clown with now? lol

cant wait to play pitch and catch against the worst D in the NFL.Vincent better stay on special teams because he sucks in coverage.

jm, I'm not going to be able to make it to NO this year either. I suspect that they'll need just as much help next year so I'm probably gonna plan some kind of road trip then. I'll be off the Vineyard and back in DC full-time then also...
