New Orleans Wrap-Up
Wanted to let you guys know that Scott Zakheim will have an essay about the volunteer trip to N'Orleans in the Saturday edition of The Post. I know a lot of you guys are out of town and won't see the dead fish editions of the paper, so wanted to...

Awards Time
1 TCCLs - Me. There I am, back at the bottom. My editors have me absolutely swamped, and with the family obligations and Christmas oncoming and me out of town for the weekend in St. Louis, well, something had to give. And there was that whole Bourbon Street debacle last...

Marcus Still Out
Marcus Washington (knee) was not out there for the last big practice of the week. Again, it's unusual for him to have to miss anything, so it must be pretty serious. Jansen, Rabach, Lemar and Samuels were back in pads....

Can The D Do it Again?
So the Skins stopped a top-notch offense in New Orleans, actually beat them up pretty good. But, like with everything related to the team, could it actually happen two weeks in a row? Will they finally build some momentum? Wish I could say for sure, but I'm going to...

Injuries
Marcus Washington missed practice with a knee injury and is questionable. For him to miss a practive means he is pretty beat up. That'll be one to watch. Rocky could end up getting his first starts. Lemar missed with a knee. Rabach (hand) and Samuels (knee) rested as well, but...

HaikuMan's Holiday Offering

Hawaii 5-9
We're a few hours from Pro Bowl announcements, and no one around The Park is holding his breath. Not too many bright lights in this dim season, and not many individual honors expected to go around. A year ago guys like Santana and Dolla Bill were locks, and I thought...

Monday-Night H-Back
Hey there. I'm still alive, even after two nights in The Big Easy. Was scrmabling around today - 6 am flight, had to watch Chloe in the morning, snuck in a nap and fought 90 minutes of traffic out to The Park - so I've been off-line all day. I...

I've Fallen, And I Can't Get Up
I am now officially the lamest blogger ever (in case you didn't already know). I am an old, old man who can no longer hang; the guy who heads back home to change clothes and passes out way too early in his jeans with ESPN blaring on the television, then...
