Skins Win

It wasn't pretty, but it did work: the Redskins beat Dallas on Sunday night (and really we don't care about much else). A win is a win, and doubly sweet since it is a Conference game (i.e., it really counts).

One thing I'm still having trouble adjusting to is seeing Donovan McNabb in a Redskins jersey. I'll take it, though -- any day rather than Jason Campbell!

Almost Time For Football

After last week's disappointing pre-season performance it was, well, less disappointing to watch the Redskins lose this week. The Redskins only lost to the Patriots by a field goal. Since only the first half counts in pre-season (that's when the starters play), Jason Campbell and team battled the Patriots to a 17-all tie at the half -- that's progress.

Cooley broke the stagnation by catching a pass and running down the sideline for over 70 yards. Now that's excitement. I finally got a good look at the guy whose running style is described as a "broken beer truck" -- how apt! That lumbering thunder-wagon has got great hands and is a potent weapon, whether blocking or recieving. Lumber on!
