Redskins – Rams (who I’d put back in L.A.) prediction

You know what’s weird? Since I started following the NFL in 1983 and the St. Louis Rams have been around longer than the Los Angeles Rams. I still don’t know why the Rams left Southern California for a fairly small Midwestern market with a so-so NFL history. Given that they won a Super Bowl and [...]

40 years ago today, the Washington Senators played their final game

The darkest day in D.C. baseball history was 40 years ago today. That night, the Washington Senators played their final game which they forfeit after fans overran the field at RFK Stadium. They appeared to be on their way to a 7-5 win over the New York Yankees when bedlam ensued. The Shirley Povich column [...]

Blue White Roundtable: Penn State at Indiana

Week 5 of Blue White Roundtable — Isn’t it weird that the Nittany Lions are traveling to play the Hoosiers, but not going to suburban Maryland to play the game? I was all ready to get on the Blue Line to FedEx Field.
BSD: Is it worth starting Matt McGloin this week at QB? Will [...]

Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys prediction

No Washington Redskins guest prognosticator this week since I don’t know any Dallas Cowboys fans (which some might find funny).
The Redskins have been solid so far, but I think they have been talking too much trash for this early in the season, especially since they have to go on the road. I think Tony [...]

YALE BULLDOGS 37 Cornell Big Red 17

Good win for the Bulldogs, now 2-0 (1-0). Great looking match-up too with Yale’s beautiful blue and white vs. Cornell’s red and white.

44 home wins for the 2011 Nats
