Big people music is over-rated anyway. Last night I had a dream about Beyonce and all I could think of was, "she'd be a great babysitter..."

Wow, is JLaC drinking already?

Daniels is a 10+ year vet. He can get away with playing without practicing if the coaches believe in him. This is a key divisional game and we have and early bye. I just care if he plays......

panties!

Verga!

One of the great JLC posts of all time.

I feel like I'm listening to a beat cat hit time and weave the words out of thin air.

That's me on the bongos, man, keeping it alive! Oh yeah, play on, playah!!

For kids music that doesn't split adult ears, you should listen to the local band Rocknoceros.

Jason,

You sound like me. I have taken my kids to see the Wiggles, Milkshake, and the Doodlebops (met you at the Doodlebops show). Its all fun with the kids though.

Lets hope Jason R. brings a good record to the 'Skins.

Go Yankees!

farstriker gets 5 TCCLs for using "desuetude" to end the last post. First time the word has ever appeared on RI. (Please verify, MV Dame, I'd hate to be wrong about this.)

Now, Jason has to work it into one of his print columns and Cindy has to urge us to use it 4,000 times before the bye week. The Boren Multimatum. Of course, the "Sign Chris Cooley" dude could accomplish that with one post.

Greatest rendition of the greatestkid's song ever?

RUNNERUP: Old MacDonald Had a Farm--Frank Sinatra. He recorded it when he claimed he could record any song written and make it a hit, and some fooled dared him. It was a hit.

WINNER: I'ts not Easy Being Green--Ray Charles. Oh yeah, sure the frog nailed it too, but Ray takes it to a new universe. Without changing a word of the lyrics, he makes it his song, now the story of a black blind kid trying to survive in the segregated south. Made me weep like a little girlk who's lost her pony.

Okay, sorry I got all sentimental mushy there, so let me make amends:

"Squirrel Butt Thong Undies."

Alright, TE!

=================

Add this one to the list of suggested songs that didn't quite make it onto the Wiggles' latest album:

"Squirrel Butt Thong Undies"

JJG II is a reflection of the ownership situation more than anything else. And the salary cap's affect on mistakes made.

I was thinking if Goodell REALLY wanted to punish the Patriots as he has so many players HE would not only take away draft picks but cut the Patriots salary cap down to between 75% to 50% of the rest of the league for 2 years.

Pet Sounds or no Pet Sounds, whatever you do DON'T take Chloe to see Brian Wilson. I wish him all the best, but seeing him perform live now is disturbing.

"Brian Wilson. I wish him all the best, but seeing him perform live now is disturbing."

Rampant drugs seems to lead to a short life and bad death ...
whether legal or illegal.

Looks like I was right about the 'Skins playing Springs less, more as a nickel back ... if I am right he will play a lot Monday night. And against every single divisional opponent. He will be held back depending on the importance of the other games.

what does philip daniels do to warrant still being on this team? He should retire, today.

Hey, it's our first Jason Reid sighting!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/14/AR2007091402142.html

"The 12-year veteran acknowledged time was running out for him to play in the first game of the season against an NFC East opponent that has defeated the Redskins 10 times in their previous 14 games."

For all of you grammar experts, here is a sample JReid sentence for you to diagram. Good luck!

Hey Snidely,

Who are you? Matt Swenson?

Snidely,

What's your problem, dude? Didn't you notice that all the words are spelled correctly?

MV Daaaame. Where are you?

Hail to the Victors!

Clausen goes down agaaaain! (intentianla grounding called as I am typing)...

Here's more from JReid's debut. See if you can find the misspelled word.

"One bad experience in Philadelphia apparently hasn't prompted Clinton Portis's mother, Rhonnel Hearn, to change her travel plans for Monday. Hearn intends to attend the game at Lincoln Financial Field, the site of her altercation with an Eagles fan in the final game of the 2005 regular season."

"Randoms: In the last two weeks I have procured tickets to see The Wiggles, Milkshake and The Doodlebops"

Their studio recordings are ok but it's really their live stuff that puts them on the map. Getting backstage passes for the after party as well?

Back to the SJK "Jack" and DE draft

Dear Jack,

Here is a great young cornerback who is expected to be an unrestricted free agent next year.

Nnamdi Asomugha | #21 | CB

He is expected to get more money than JaMarcus Russel just got from the Raiders. He would be perfect for the Redskins. He is a cornerback and he and any good cornerback (including long-in-the-tooth Shawn Springs) are expected to make more money than most QBs.

Now what do you think would fit the Skins salary cap situation? Signing a very expensive free agent cornerback or drafting 2 next year or beyond? Or signing a much less expensive DE if such is needed?

If you use your head for something other than a hat rack you will see that cornerback is best obtained through the draft.

Here are the most lucrative free agent deals signed by position:

Cornerback:
Nate Clements - 8 yrs, $80.0 million, $22.0 million guaranteed

Defensive End:
Dwight Freeney - 6 yrs, $72.0 million, $30.0 million guaranteed

Who do the Redskins play this weekend?

The Redskins play the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night.

"Here are the most lucrative free agent deals signed by position:
Cornerback:
Nate Clements - 8 yrs, $80.0 million, $22.0 million guaranteed
Defensive End:
Dwight Freeney - 6 yrs, $72.0 million, $30.0 million guaranteed"

BNnamdi Asomugha #21 CB 6 year veteran:
Predicted to be in the $100 million neighborhood.

Imagine Champ Bailey on the open market today?

Know any defensive ends that will be able to ask for that?
You get more for the buck drafting corners from the draft
period.

"What does philip daniels do to warrant still being on this team? He should retire, today."

He is actually effective in passing situations from the tackle position because of his strength. His speed is down but the strength and leverage is still there. Evans might be more effective at end at this point but he will have to prove it in game situations. Wilson is raw, needs to bulk up, but he could push him and Carter.

IMHO if the Skins still had Champ Bailey and Shawn Springs, plus Rogers and Smoot they would unequivocally be the very
best defense in the NFL. DL schmeeee"L". They are one player away and that player is a cornerback.

"The 49ers agreed to terms with cornerback Nate Clements on a eight-year, $80 million contract. $22.6 million was guaranteed. Clements can say he's the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, but he didn't get the most guaranteed money and the deal is essentially six years and $44.5 million."

rotoworld.com

"Colts signed DE Dwight Freeney to a six-year, $72 million contract with a $30 million signing bonus. That makes him the highest paid defender in NFL history. Freeney may be too one-dimensional to be worth it, but he'd still get more on the open market. He gets $37.72 in the first three years, although the Colts actually save over $3 million in cap room in 2007."

rotoworld.com

Key issue: Clements hit the open market, while Freeney gave Indy the hometown discount.

Try as one may, there is no way to determine the real difference in value between a premier CB versus a premier DE. (Both positions are very valuable.) Most of the premier DEs in the past two years have re-signed with their own teams. Clements was not a premier CB and still landed the "biggest" contract to date on the open market.

Based on the availability of premier position players coming out of college, the most sensible approach is to target both a DE and a CB in the first two rounds of the draft. The final determination of "which comes first" should be based on "best available target position player" and "best position depth" at the time that the first round pick is made. This approach would usually dictate a CB picked in the 1st round and a DE picked in the 2nd round.

We should be so lucky if the Redskins keep their draft choices in 2008 and draft a topnotch CB prospect in the 1st round and a solid DE prospect in the 2nd round.

Last summer weekend
Ultimatum hits the wall;
Boren must be sad :(

Brandon Lloyd is a complete azz hat. He should have been shipped in the offseason with Arch Deluxe.

A five-hour gap between comments last night. WOW. I can't remember the last time we went dark for that long. We have eight days to hit the Ultimatum... crikey.

dfw
WTF!!!!!!
How can people who seem somewhT sensible born and bred In dc find like the dfw cowpukes and associate themselves with THESE kind

Smack what hapnd to you when you were a kid??????

A little dap for my Virginia Cavaliers on the occasion of their 22-20 win at UNC. In football. No passing game to speak of, but you can't argue with 220+ rushing yards from Peerman and Pearman.

The Wahoos are 2-0 in conference play and alone atop the ACC Coastal division, which really means a heck of a lot three weeks into the season.

Wahoowa!

"We should be so lucky if the Redskins keep their draft choices in 2008 and draft a topnotch CB prospect in the 1st round and a solid DE prospect in the 2nd round."

That makes much more sense to me. I would draft another corner in the 3rd round if a sleeper is available or wait until the following year to draft high. They also need a wide receivers or two. By then Brandon Lloyd will be out of the picture.

They definitely need many more draft picks not less. And that's the truth. The mistakes in free agency and the dearth of picks has left them in an unenviable position. Even with a good year.

Mancrush on Staubach. Kidcrush I guess. And now I find myself a Cowboys fan to this day. Which is weird because as a drunk atheist pothead, Roger would hate me.

Life is absurd, witness UK over Louisville at the moment. Like every other bet today.

I wonder if CP's mom could beat up JuJo's mom. She was a coal miner and all.

"Which is weird because as a drunk atheist pothead, Roger would hate me."

I remember him in the booth pushing really hard to get his cohort George Allen back into coaching. An unlikely duo.

Nate,

I am getting really nervous/excited for MNF. How the heck am I gonna make it another 48 hours?!?

Its interesting how huge an effect losing a premier starting cornerback can have. Versus losing a starting DE or even a starting receiver! The only two positions that have a similar effect would be feature back and quarterback.

Go Nationals! Kick some butt next year!

thx smack
if that was my reasng one visit to dfw wide changed my allegiance

Eh, dealer, I don't change allegiances. Other than that messy divorce.

NEW ORLEANS -- The Dallas Cowboys' charter flight to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Saturday afternoon was forced to make an unscheduled landing here about 3 p.m. (CDT) because of a mechanical problem

This is the sort of thing that happens when you try to transport Leonard Davis.

LMGO

Excellent work, SMACK.

SCSkinsFan, I recommend self-medication. There are some mild sedatives in liquid form, available over the counter in most jurisdictions, which I've found have a delightful mellowing effect.

"This is the sort of thing that happens when you try to transport Leonard Davis."

Don't they just put him in a bathtub? He's so fat, I would think he floats!

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

JustMe, just curious, as I recall you have often referred to your little one as "the brat" up here. You don't really think of this precious little person as a brat, do ya? Surely there must be some redeeming qualities... We're finding with a three-year-old that while there is more bad (willfull, provocative, obnoxious) behavior, the good stuff keeps getting better. Anyway, just makin' conversations...

periculum,

We haven't even played the second of sixteen games yet. We don't know who will play well, who will play badly, who will end his career. So can you tell me why you (and your fellow traveller Jack) are obsessed with next year's draft? Let it go. There's plenty of time after the season, when you will actually have a clue as to what the Redskins' needs are.

JustMe will be back in a bit... she and the brat are putting her guts back in.

Why are three-year-old children the best negotiators?
1. Time is on their side
2. They understand that 'No' is just an opening position

Is it a bad sign when your game one starting QB responds to demotion by enrolling at Northern Illinois?

Uh oh, monoblogging...

Ahhh...Pet Sounds - the first music that my 17 year old daughter and I have agreed on in oh, about 7 years. (She was a captive audience prior to that)

I loved it when she said "wow - that's great"

Oh well - exactly 48 hours to kick off - I'm preparing myself for nail biting by watching Brad Lidge try to finish off the Pirates in the 9th - talk about psychotic emotions...

Lidge records the save! Two strikeouts in the ninth! Will wonders never cease?

oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink

Yes, yes, Saturday night... I hope MV Dame isn't taking the Notre Dame loss too hard, letting it sour his last week on the island...

So, what are we drinking tonight?

Except you, pig, I'm not sure I can handle what you're loaded up on.

re: ND, is it Weis, is it the last independent program in the nation, or what?

It's because Jesus hates them.

Sorry, that was in incredibly poor taste, even for me, but I cannot STAND that "Touchdown Jesus" garbage, the crypto-Catholic luck of the Irish garbage that always gets trotted out... again, sorry, couldn't resist. It's so easy to pile on...

The Medicine Woman has left the building.

I've not yet clicked through on the NFL.com headline "Lorenzen could get shot vs. idol," but I gotta ask: The Giants have Dom DeLuise on the schedule this season?

Just beer as usual for me, cload. This excellent Haymaker Extra Pale Ale from Portland's Bridgeport Brewing. Mighty good.

>>> "So, what are we drinking tonight?"

My best friend's wedding is next weekend. Apart from my role in the wedding ("don't get drunk until after the pictures are done"), my job this week is to entertain all of the out of town guests as they arrive. Tonight, the general consensus is: let's go to the casino and then the "gentleman's club".

Now, I love craps, and I love, well, the other stuff. But it's Saturday night. Can't these people do something civilized? Like go to a dive bar, shotgun PBR, do shots of Hornitos, and lick the floor?

"The Redskins could also have their newfound depth at cornerback tested. Fred Smoot, who hurt his hamstring during practice on Friday, was downgraded from probable to questionable. "

*** Fantasy talk

Somehow He Nate Me is favored by 18 points over dcsween's team this weekend. That seems a bit excessive. Especially given that my supa-star, Plaxico, is unlikely to ever have another game like his explosion last week. Oh well. That's why we play the games... and then tally up the statistics and convert them into fantasy points.

*** End fantasy talk

I have to say, I'm pretty stoked to read Alan Greenspan's book.

Oh, and...Oreo Pizza.

Because even the haters need love.

Plaxico may have a pretty good game against that Packers secondary...

Hornitos... Alan Greenspan... Oreo Pizza... I'm detecting a consistent theme, here, Diddy!

Hornitos and oreo pizza... imagine cleaning that up tomorrow.

SC, so with Daniels and Smoot downgraded, would you say our chances on the whole (to have as stout a D as we saw last week against a much better O; to win) are accordingly downgraded?

Oh, and I played flag football today for the first time since Clinton was president. Two things:

1. I am in tremendous pain
2. I am old

I have many bruises, but none worse than to my ego. No, I cannot throw a pass longer than 30 yards anymore. No, I cannot run straight downfield on every play anymore. No, I cannot "cheat" a little in coverage anymore.

My "theme" is to be off-topic as much as possible to annoy the haters. It's what we losers do when we're in our mothers' basements.

Speaking of which, Kevin Smith's cameo was clearly the only redeeming factor in Die Hard 4.

lemme get this straight... there's a show with the freakin' Caveman guy... they couldn't even sustain a half dozen 30 second spots!

Although, that one with the therapist "I'm having an existential crisis! Oh, It's my mom, I'll put her on speaker" is pretty funny

Nate,

I think Evans can come in and make as much of an impact as Daniels (i.e., a batted ball here or there), but I don't like a gimpy Smoot against a pass-happy Iggles team with a chip on their shoulder.

The "Hefty Lefty's" real nickname is "J-Load".

Love it.

Frankly, seeing Lorenzon play makes me happy. Hurray for the fat guys!

I have DVDs of all the new pilots from this season. The caveman show is insipid. Which, of course, means that it will be the #1 show in America by week 3 of the new TV season.

Others: "Bionic Woman" is ridiculous. Incredibly, incredibly, incredibly stupid. And the chick isn't even that hot. Flavor of the week hot, but not exotic, cool hot. And she has no talent, either. Blech.

"Chuck" is awesome.

I believe all the NBC pilots are on Amazon Unbox right now for you to preview. I can't check because I'm a Mac guy and Amazon Unbox isn't enlightened enough to support the Mac.

yo hukkas whats shakin..

Nate,

I just put the brat to bed after all 4 feet of him sat on my lap while we watched "Arthur and the Invisibles."

I most certainly do consider my little person to be a brat. He's demanding, stubborn, rude, defiant, mouthy, spoiled, and prone to temper tantrums. But, he's also intelligent, affectionate, generous, kind, witty, and expressive. I love that kid more than anything or anyone I've ever set eyes on. But, I'm not blinded enough by that not to recognize that he can really be a little pisser. So, I say it half in jest, half not, and never to him either way.

Perfect time for my flingin' flangin' iTunes to stop functioning (app will not open no matter how sweetly I cajole it), as I'm trying to put the new Black Francis album on my iPod for my trip to NYC.

Oh itunes, why hast thou forsaken me, now when I need you the mostest??

Drinking a Whiskey Sour here while I watch Redskins Report and then the Joe Gibbs show once that is done.

I hear ya, JustMe. Just like chris Larry's description of the in-laws visit, I think you adequately described a lot of peoples' experience with the wee vexatious ones. And I didn't *think* you would address him as a brat. Again, just making conversations...

iTunes always has problems for me with my iPod nano. No problems with my iPhone or 80G iPod. Just shut down iTunes, reset the iPod (hold down Menu and Play at the same time until the Apple shows up on the screen, I think), and retry syncing.

app will not open
rebootion is solution
windows is like that

Hmm... a whiskey sour does sound good. So does shotgunning a PBR. I am easy. Another Haymaker for me, then.

Aha! There was a software update I had missed. Installed, all's well now, Black Francis is coming with me to NYC on my Nano... thank goodness.

I understood, Nate. :)

is anyone watching Louisville-Kentucky?

Wow!

CL,

I can't make up my mind which would have been more painful -- having to sit through Unaccompanied Minors or holding in a fart for the duration of it. LMGO

The brat normally harasses me to take him to the movies to see anything with kids in it. Fortunately, I dodged that one.

ahh, was that iTunes 7.4.3.1 (afternoon) or itunes 7.4.3.1 (early evening)?

"You're watching this game on ESPN Classic for a reason"....

"And now, the 2005 World Series of Poker".
Ummm, no.

SC, so with Daniels and Smoot downgraded, would you say our chances on the whole (to have as stout a D as we saw last week against a much better O; to win) are accordingly downgraded?

Posted by: Nate in the PDX | September 15, 2007 10:22 PM

**************************************

I don't like our chances any less. I feel better with the idea of less Smoot or Rogers, and more Springs. I'm also not uncomfortable with Macklin, so I'm not worried about the corners at all.

With Evans, you get someone younger, faster, and determined to be noticed more this season (wasn't he the one yapping off at the beginning of training camp about all of the stuff he was going to do this season???). Let's see what he can do for a full game, with maybe Chris Wilson getting some spot pass rush duty. It'll be a good opportunity to see what the young dudes can do.

Awesome article about Stephon Heyer in tomorrow's WashPo:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/15/AR2007091501362.html

Really good article on Heyer: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/15/AR2007091501362.html

I don't mean any harm, but thank goodness it wasn't up to our favorite plaid shorts wearing beat reporter to write it.

SC, JustMe, I remain cautiously optimistic about our D. This is their first of several good offenses on a row -- really good, if McNabb looks better -- and I think they're playing with a purpose, an attitude, and the proverbial chip on the shoulder pad, that were lacking last season. Hoping that all stays true even if we have a few key dudes dinged up...

I was so engrossed in that article, I didn't refresh before posting the link too. LOL It's a really good read.

And, you're right, JustMe. Good thing JLaC didn't have to write it.

The article should have said "everybody likes Heyer...except JLaC".

great piece on heyer by les carpenter

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/15/AR2007091501362.html

Nate,

I think the D will be fine. I'm looking for them to have a few more games where they look really good at times, and not so much at others. Kinda like the 2005 D. To me, they started much slower than they finished. They're adjusting to tweaks in the scheme and to new personnel. I think by midseason, they'll be great, barring major injuries.

Anyone else want to post the link to the Heyer article? :-)

Alrighty hamsters, time to head out.

Enjoy your Saturday night.

OK, Y'all,

enough time wastin....gimme a prediction...I have Skins 17- Philthy 14...Shazam with another 4th qtr FG ( this one from 32 yds ...our drive stall near the goal line.)

When is the darn WaPo gonna publish something about Heyer, fer dern's sakes?

Fantastic article from Les.

And I would be remiss if I didn't note how very impressive was Jasno's post to start this thread. J-La was showing some wear and tear before the season, but he is BACK with a VENGEANCE.

To the Ultimatum and beyond!

beyonce or britney

Reppin TX, I would love to see a barn-burner that's close all the way, something like 23-21. Like you, I have visions of Swish booting another game winner late.

Just want to see us play for sixty minutes like we want it more than they do.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for us to go into Philthy and win. I know it is WAY too early to say.."Big Game" , however, it would be nice to put the B"eagles" into a 0-2 hole. By the way...the answer is Beyonce

Look for these plays on MNF
By Scouts Inc.

http://proxy.espn.go.com/mnf/surround07/news/story?page=mnfplays/week2

I think Britney would be better at washing clothes and light housekeeping.

you'd have to count the silver after she left, tho.

Hey Nate.

All.

Oh and by the way, Beyonce.

Couldn't sleep. Just thought I'd further Cindy's drive to tbe the most OCD person on earth.

I am the Nina The Pinta The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
The fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire

Did the blog really go quiet for 5 hours??? Sorry, I have a 3 year old with an ear infection.

Night, all.

The rest of the story falls into place...if ya know what I mean. !!!

Alright, I give up...

Soccer, cheerleading, college FB has kept me busy today.

Lisa - Brian Baldinger is crap and so is the Eagles D-line.

BigFish !!!!!!!!

My fellow Texas homie !!!

That would be my kids soccer and cheerleading of course. BTW - My son scored his first goal today on the way to his team's first win.

What up Reppin! Good to see two of us deep behing enemy lines representin the Skins/RI.

Lisa... not to be a downer?
As long as you don't blame the skins FO for the Beagles having a good line...

1. jm220 is on his Ramadan break.

2. Nice try, "POST POLICE"--I would recognize Jasno's spellings anywhere. It's okay, Jasno--you can hang out here in the comments with us.

3. Reppin TX--LMGO out at the Baldinger comment.

Living in Texas as a Skins fan has to be as bad as living in Philly as one. They better play tough on Monday night so the Linc clears out and I can party with any remaining Skins fans.

Hail.

Brian Baldinger is a huge, dry, salty, sour, dildo. lisa, don't listen to a thing he says!

Actually, for the past 15 years, living just about anywhere as a Skins fan has sucked.

I've lived outside of Philly (Coatesville) and I'm living in TX (DFdub) now. TX is nowhere near as bad as Philly. People down here are generally pretty easy going.

Very true farstriker. Sad.

BigFish,

I have tried all night to let everyone know about the greatness of Beyonce, CP, and Bacardi. Unfortunately, my wife has fallen asleep, so, I am hear with you folks !!! ( No offense to you all, but if she was awake, she and I would be busy !!!)

Come on, JG. You know that's not a proper thing to say.

. . .

You don't need the comma before "dildo," dahling. It's the noun.

Rip Hamilton - pride of Coatesville. There are some cool people in Philly bigfish but a lot of SJKholes as well.

Beyonce is cool but I could think of others that I would prefer above her. CP is great and Bicardi is alright too but I prefer my Brandy. Hail to drunk blogging while the wives are asleep!!!

Baldinger was not making that statement about the Eagles D line in an ugly manner...they were talking about all the teams. He was just stating what he saw. That's why I'm worried.

I would be soooooooooooo excited if Jason Campbell had a good game. It would be great for him to go into Philly on Monday Noght Football, on the road, against his idol, and go toe-to-toe with D.Mac

cdubb - you up in that area?

Only reason I lived in Coatesville was because I had along time girlfriend up there while in the Navy. We both got out around the same time and lived together for a bit. Had to get back to DC because the jobs were better.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Lisa - No need to worry about what one person says about Philly's D-line. Especially Balscratcher (SJK and Lisa).

"Beyonce is cool but I could think of others that I would prefer above her."

Me, for one!

bada-boom!!

Hail to bloggin while the wife is asleep.... others on my list ......

1. Beyonce
2. Charlize Theron
3. Ciara ( If ya don't know...get to know !!)
4. Janet...all time classic
5. Selma Hayek

Spelling could be off.....so sue me !!

I love Dominic's sausages but good grief...

plop plop fizz fizz

Dorf, blog-buddy, how goes grad school?

Me in no particular order ( not icluding porn stars)

1. Megan Fox
2. Eva Mendes
3. Christina Aguilerra (Sp?)
4. Kaley Cuoco
5. Megan Fox

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
is for Megan Foxxx

Megan doesn't get the love that she deserves but I'm willing to give it to her (SJKandL)

Even my wife would consider Megan Fox...if I gave her a few more glasses of wine !! haha!

bigfish - I live right near King of Prussia 20 miles west of center city. Area of PA you are talking about is not one of the better ones.

cdubb - I know the city of Coatesville is bad but we lived off of the main road in the suburbs. It was actually quite nice up in the hills. We had a Coatesville address but where we lived was nothing like the city. Round about what city you're close to?

There is good and bad spots anywhere bro. Neareast city to me if you can call it one is Norristown.

KOP - Nice area there BTW. We used to visit there quite a bit. Also spent quite a few weekends in Amish country. PA is one of my favorite places (not including cities like Philly and Da-burgh)

I can't tell if I have a Bacardi & coke or a Suisham & Coke.....both are kickin' my azz!!!! See y'all later !!!! Be good, I'm gonna wake my wife up.....if ya know what I mean!?!?!

"I can't tell if I have a Bacardi & coke or a Suisham & Coke.....both are kickin' my azz!!!!"

Excellent - LMGO!!!!

Maybe Suisham will be the staple of our kicking game like Barcardi has been the staple of rum for so many years.

I'm lifting my brandy to Squishyson being the Kicking Kid for the next 15 years.

I try not to think about it until Sunday night... and with no skins game tomorrow I should have a productive week.

How's the teaching going farstriker, my fellow nerd in crime and blog friend?

I bid you ado blog.

where the hoes at??

I'm up in DC right now... I stopped by the Redskins store in Tysons and they were all out of ties. I had to get a polo and hope I get away with wearing a Skins polo on a monday (generally a tie day)

also, I finally gave in and got a white Cooley jersey... the contract signing helped me in the decision. I'll still wear my Champ Bailey jersey though. Here's to at least 6 more years of the Coooooooool man.

Stinkface

dorf
one way to relieve nervousness about buying a jersey in fear of player leaving,I just change name on back when player changes.not that difficult especially if u know someone who sows? Duck tape and magic marker also works!

Larrybud, and farstriker aka jm220
your so busted because of your attack on spelling! Riddle me this, do you have multiple personalitys off this blog?weak saying your off somewhere with no access to computers? VERY LAME!

Only idiots would buy that one?

time for a yuengling, just got back from work

1:52 PM in Redskins Planet. Just got to work.
a la the Beach Boys $ Wilson, they hit their peakwith the Fat Boys (great band, for kids too) I suggest everyone go to you tube and check out the "Wipeout" hip hop cross over they did with the Fat Boys. this is guaranteed enjoyment

connskins, you've been working the late night events, dude. Wow. And with the new little one waiting for you at home, no less! Hats off to you.

Sichuan! Sichuan! Sichuan! In the house.

WTF was that?????????????

I know, I know. Just something especially cool about having a Skins fan representing in Western China. Come on, admit it, that's cool.

todays activity..bungee jumpping at a fair in NJ. All pain in the but little kids with snotty parents--henceforth maybe 2 yuenglings

What does connskins do?

I figure if there weren't any stories on the news wire about bungee jumping accidents in NJ today, it went as well as possible. The pain in the butt kids are prolly par for the course...

connskins:

a. roots his guts out for the Skins
2. blogs his guts out up here
iii. has an events and stuff biz

no injuries means a good day and yes par for the course but these parents were over par so to speak
anon---I run an entertainment company

Kentucky vs. louisville & ark. vs. alabamma were some great games.....what say you, blog people?

who won the ark and alab game, only heard about the louis game and the ucla upset, seemed like all the rest of the college games went as they should

How about that ever powerful UCONN Huskies football going to 3-0 beating that powerful temple team. Just a matter of time until UCONN cracks the top 25-----yeah in about 10 years

PG, definitely some great games today. Nothing I hate more than a college football Saturday without upsets. It's been a good season so far, just a few weeks in. Plenty of intrigue, close games, upsets.

(I do root for those Razorbacks, having lived in AR for a while. So that's an upset I could have done without.)

I saw Baldfinger on the NFLN's "playbook" show. basically its him trying to sound smart by diving into football minutae and hitting the rewind fast forward button a bunch of times. A true douchebag

I saw Baldfinger on the NFLN's "playbook" show (this is included in the webcast football subscription, set me back 300 bones but i get every down of every game on the CPU). basically its him trying to sound smart by diving into football minutae and hitting the rewind fast forward button a bunch of times. A true douchebag

. . .BAAAAAAAALDFINGER . . . hes the man, oh yes the maaaaaan with the shoddy analysis . . .

watching the banter between Baldfinger and Sterling not-so-Sharpe on a bellyful of Chinese rotgut is possibly the most disgutsing thing in life. seriously, has anyone seen this show?

later, gotta get home
nate once again, hopefully see you monday

Sichuan, you had me at "every down of every game." Jealous!

Be well and drive safely, connskins. Hope to see you Monday in NYC. See you back up here soon, for shore.

this place sure ain't what it used ta be, i'm afraid

Aye, 2:41, aye.

whoa, is my computer playing tricks--a gap from Nate at 2:42 AM to now, 9:09?

In season?

Wow.

Mebbe it's because of the Monday nighter/A$$CLOWNZ/beautiful Fall weather here on the East Coast. Either way, it will heat up the closer we get to game time.

Good game on tonight, will Bill "Director of Photography" Belichik and his troubles be a distraction for his team?

Just posting so we don't have another 6 1/2 gap.

Yowzers!

Off to son's hockey game. I hope there is blog activity this morning.

I wouldn't want someone posting a bunch of Office quotes just to keep us on life support :)

That Les Carpenter article on Heyer was one of the better stories I have read in sports section in a long time.

Wasn't it was Philip Daniels who asked Gibbs to let them have it their way with regard to offseason conditioning? Didn't he say that Gibbs'program was too hard, and caused them to get injured. I seem to recall Daniels saying something to the effect of "Before I came here I could run through a brick wall". Well he got his wish, and after one game he's got another injury and will be out next week.

Daniels is a BUM. He's always hurt, and he can't put pressure on the QB. He now lives by the old 5 mississippi rush backyard football rule.

Next offseason is going to be very interesting with guys like Daniels, Springs, Griffin (class of '04) getting older and their cap hits getting larger...

I may end up with tix to the giants game. Has anyone taken the shuttle bus to the stadium from the Landover station on the Orange Metro line?

Hopeful,

Maybe I've talked to the wrong people, but I've heard horror stories about those shuttles, especially trying to get one after the game.

I would change over to the blue line and take that in... it's like a 3/4 mile walk to the stadium and you don't have to be dependent on shuttles.

Hopeful, whenever I have gone to the game without a parking pass, I have used the shuttles and it has never been problem either going to returning. If you don't mind about a mile walk to the stadium, you can take the subway (blue line) to either the Garret Morgan or Largo Town Center stop and walk to the stadium. Many fans make that trek from the pay lots near the Largo Town Center stop.

Awesome article on Stephon Heyer by Les Carpenter. Hard not to root for that kid.

Ricky and LH, thanks. I think I would prefer to rely on my feet and walk the 3/4 mile. I'm coming south on Amtrak. I can go into New Carrolton or Union Station. If I go into Union Station I can take an Acela otherwise the Amtrak regional train. I would prefer the Acela but how much time am I wasting by going into Union Station then getting out to the blue line stations you mentioned? You mentioned Morgan or Landover. Is one better than the other? Are there signs pointing to the field or can you just see it and follow the sound of money being loaded into Brinks trucks?

Looks like if I get out at Morgan I can just walk up Summerfield to the stadium. Do yuo know what time they open the stadium?

GO DOLPHINS!!

The Dolphins will sleep with me and the fishes.

Hello. Watching Titans-Colts and Gints-Pack....

I'm taking the day off... if you were wondering about how I was abiding.

Go Dolphins! Go Packers!

I'm watching the Red Zone Channel on DirecTV. It's like having a personal assistant channel surf for you while you sit on the couch eating buffalo wings.

DirecTV Supercast requires a Windows PC. Damnit!

Steelers throwback unis are hideous. They look like someone squirted mustard all over poop.

I was talking with my friend, a Steelers fan we'll call Steely McBeam, and I told him the Stillers looked hideous. Very few of the thrownback unis work for me.
Titans giving the Colts a bit of a game here....

I liked the 'Skins throwbacks from a few years ago. They were pretty cool...

Dan Dierdorf on Colts/Titans. I have to figure out which of my three remotes has the mute button...

And...this is the part of the game where the Colts run away with it...

News flash from the Steelers game...

Solomon Wilcox thinks that Troy Polamulu has good instincts and is going to be a good safety.

I'm speeching by this blinding flash of insight.

Adam

Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe I'll toggle 'tween Niners and Gints for a while.

Hey Adam, are you nervous about tomorrow? :-)

or maybe that was speechless? who knows

Adam

Cindy, surely you have Sunday Ticket...Red Zone Channel rocks.

Gotta admit, though, that this 3rd-string crew doing Steelers/Bills actually does take the time to point out who blocked who and why things are happening...

Vince Young doing his best to make the Colts/Titans a good game...he's simply amazing.

It's too bad Vince Young failed the Wonderlic.

Yes.

Even though Brian Baldinger is an idiot, he's right that the Iggles D Line is a lot better this year than it was last year. I just think the offense is (currently) a mess and won't do much against the Skins improved D.

If the game's low scoring, the Iggles will be alright. If it get into the 20s, I think we're cooked.

Adam

Steelers/Bills game just had one of the most impressive 1 yard lesses I ve seen in quite a while

Adam

We should do, like, a story on this Polamalu guy.

I think it's another nailbiter, pace around the room, rub the lucky dog kinda game.

I also think it's another one of those occasions that is appropriately celebrated with Oreo Pizza.

Diddy, you're right that SW's in game color commentary is very good. He just needs to be banned from doing those canned shorts for the forseeable future.

Adam

I agree, Cindy. This Les Carpenter guy has skills with the puff pieces. You should send him to Pittsburgh to profile Polamalu. He's an under-reported story if there ever was one...

Think the Bills found a keeper in Marshand Lynch. Steelers are a pretty good tackling team and he's making a lot of people miss.

Adam

This dude doing commentary on Red Zone Channel is awesome.

though he's being very effectively negated by JP Lossman

Adam

While we have the Directv package, we don't have the superfan pkg, so no redzone for us. And don't call me Shirley.

Cindy, you should do a "Where are they now?" piece on Michael Vick. Maybe time it with the WashPo's annual Watergate Anniversary celebration.

watching bbm and young
good game
6-13 bbm

I'm back to Colts-Titans. If my name were Diem, I'd want to be nicknamed "Carpe." Or maybe "Per."

Whatever happened to Michael Vick? And his brother, Marcus? You don't hear much about them anymore.....

So, with 2 minutes left in the first half, Buffalo has 57 yards of offense and 1 first down.

9-0 never looked so bleak

Adsam

The Browns are starting a QB named Derek Anderson. Who on Earth is Derek Anderson??? He just threw a TD.

The Skins will be wearing their throwback unis next week against the Giants. Bright yellow helmet and I believe the uni pants are bright yellow as well.

Come on P, Derek Anderson is a solid wing player; I remember him when he played at Kentucky

http://www.nba.com/playerfile/derek_anderson/bio.html

Oh, you meant Derek Anderson the QB?

Oops

Adam

So, if I'm Belichick, my defense is that I thought taping opponents' signals was allowed under the Patriots Act.

Jeremy Shockey is a pinhead.

Cindy, LMAO

Adam

I'd rather have jc over young

One thing in JC's favor: he doesn't have that Madden '08 curse hanging over him.

Watching Peyton Manning right now reminds me of what it was like watching Joe Montana win those 4 Super Bowls. He is in a zone that is completely, totally unreal. No matter what you think about BBM, he is playing on another planet right now...

MSNBC Alert just popped up...OJ Simpson was arrested for robbery charges. Hilarious.

No sweat, PD. If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.

Oh, holy bleep! OJ has been arrested. What kind of a country do we live in when a person can't run his own sting operation?
:)

I love Robin Givhan: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/14/AR2007091400657.html?hpid=topnews

Gives credence to the TCCL.

I've got the Carolina-Texans game.

Kubiak has brought the Denver O with him to Houston, and they are looking sharp after falling down 14-0 early. Matt Shaub is the real deal.

Mario Williams finally emerging, too...

What kind of a country do we live in when a person can't run his own sting operation?

Posted by: Cindy | September 16, 2007 02:35 PM

Wasn't the Reaper running his own sting operation a few years ago?

Red Zone Channel commentator has the biggest ears I have ever seen. He looks like a Star Trek space alien.

They should let OJ take the lead on the investigation to find the "real" culprits.

Good point.
Memo to self: It's against the law to run your own private sting operation.

I stand in awe at the creativity that yielded "Texans" as a team name.

If "Mr." Snyder ever decides to do the right thing and change the 'Skins name, I shudder to think what they'd come up with. Personally, I'd go with the Washington Red Tape, along with team mascot, Filibuster, the costumed timeout.

Still at my brother in laws house....where they don't "believe in tv" cant even get local channels b/c they threw out rabbit ears....like c'mon....me and my dad in law are dying...following action on lap top...i hate bye weeks and prime time games b/c then my wife "plans" for me...

arggggggggg!!!

wow new orleans...ouch

We're 14 posts away from 94k.

I'd vote for the Washington Bureaucrats. Our mascot could be "Bill" from the schoolhouse rock series.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJL2Uuv-oQ

Is there a special prize for 94K?

No prize.

I love Bill! I even have that extra special "rock and roll band" Schoolhouse Rock CD.

"I'm just a Bill, just a little ol' Bill, sittin' here on Capitol Hill, and I KNOOW I'll be a law someday, but today I am still just a Bill."

Oh man, that's awesome.

Not even a fruit cake?

Hate fruit cake.

You could regift a fruitcake then

Cincinnati/Cleveland is turning into a fun game to watch.

Still have no idea who Derek Anderson is.

I'm liking the new nfl.com scores page format, esp. the redzone thing

http://www.nfl.com/players/derekanderson/profile?id=AND180512

Oregon State - Nate should be able to tell us all about him

The NFL is going to allow the interception of Peyton Manning to stand?

I think the Commish is going to intervene shortly. Do over!

Oh, you mean the Derek Anderson who went to Scappoose High!

cindy, nfl might but dan deirdorf is making all the excuses he can to make sure that no one gets off the bbm bandwagon

David Patten with a 58 yard reception in New Orleans. Gotta love that. But, you know, The Receiver is an established guy as well.

One and the same

i've never had a fruit cake!

I worried that Ricochet will turn out as well as Patten

dealer, it's just like Oreo Pizza.

94K+, btw

trust me, dealer, they STINK!

does fruitcake give you that cool beard?

Oops. I was the 94,000th poster.

Sadly, no beard.

My football menu for the day is Chicken Nuggets, seven layer dip, and a bag of Doritos.

check out matt schaub...jim mckay must feel so stupid...(full disclosure: i didn't think matt schaub be this good. but no one's paying me the kinda money mckay's making or even bugeyes making)

Even though the Skins aren't playing, I have made Skins Mix today. And what might that be? Candy corn and peanuts, a delicious combo that I feel should be named for the local NFL team. We'll have more tomorrow night.

I'm pretty sure the Bengals had no clue they were going to be in for a fight like this today. Too bad CBS sucks and the game isn't in HD. I hate CBS.

Cindy, assuming the 'Skins end up in the Super Bowl, will the WashPo see fit to let you out of the office and get you to Arizona?

So Chad Johnson jumps into the Dawg Pound, gets a beer tossed on him, is thrown back to the field and a guy flips him off! They don't show THAT on the replay!

Yep. I'd be headed to 'Zona. I've gone most years, but have skipped the last two.

FCC fines on the way...

cyn cyndy are u actually a redskins fan....???

I. Love. Brett Favre.

Seventy points in the Cle-Cincy game and there's still almost 6 minutes left in the third quarter!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, a fun game.

LOL - Cindy "accidentally" 94ksnth comment. Great work! Couldn't have gone to a better person. Now go out and get yourself something nice.

I have to say, DirecTV's Red Zone Channel is absolutely the greatest thing ever.

vinneteri has missed a FG and an extra point today.

bbm 22 young 13

I am not actually a Redskins fan. I am impartial, but I am a HUGE fan of the team's fans. They deserve a winner.

well as a fan, thx for ur support!

Doh! Looks like sween will easily defeat me in the fantasy fball this week. He has BBP, who has currently doubled up BBM, who plays for me. Awesome.

I just used The Google to look up pics of Reche Caldwell. I get the Bug Eyes thing now. Hilarious.

Cindy at 3:27, that was just gratuitous kissing up. Not that we don't appreciate it, of course.

Nate, I do mean it!
BTW, Cle-Cincy is gonna break 100.

Giants have nothing. You've got to believe that Antonio Pierce regrets turning his back on the 'Skins, wishes he were suiting up in Philly tomorrow instead of the "Meadowlands" today.

22-20 bbm

6 minutes to go bbm with the ball

F the giants

I do regret not announcing a one-million-dollar prize for the 94,000th post...or maybe some sweet, sweet burgundy-and-gold crocs. Sigh.

to me suprise of the day is NO TB...the bloom is off the saints...

I thought the Saints would struggle this year....I didn't have much faith in Brees and I thought the league would be on to Sean Payton.

Goooooooo PACKERS!

No kidding...the Saints look DOA this season.

Other surprise: some dude named Derek Anderson rolling points on the Cincy D. WTF is Derek Anderson?

my nephews agrees...burgundy and gold crocs are way cool

i saw a year old fruit cake once. it looked just like t
