Super Bowl XLVI prediction

Here’s my quick Super Bowl prediction — New England Patriots 34 New York Football Giants 17. Last time these two met, I talked myself out of picking the Giants.
I’m pulling for the Giants for several reasons — they play in New Jersey where I was born, represent New York which is one of my favorite [...]

Redskins, D.C. won last major championship 20 years ago today

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Washington Redskins last super bowl victory and the last D.C. championship in the four major sports (football, baseball, hockey, basketball). DC United has won several MLS championships since then.
I remember telling a friend that year that the NFC was the Redskins to lose — the Dallas Cowboys were [...]

Uninformed NFL predictions – Conference championship games

The Northeast corridor is well represented in the NFL championship Sunday with 3 teams playing. At least one will move on to the Super Bowl. This is the best Sunday in pro football, better than the Super Bowl which is amateur night and about things like ads and half-time shows.

Uninformed NFL predictions – Divisional Playoffs

New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers
The Niners haven’t been in the playoffs in ten years. They can run the ball though and are playing at home. Weather is apparently going to be pretty good, but Saints are still a dome team. Plus, the ghost of Jim Mora may show up. I’m going with the [...]

Redskins vs. Jets Q&A and prediction with Eric McErlain

Once again, Long Island native Eric McErlain, the godfather of sports blogging, is here for some guest prognosticating. You may recall his earlier appearance talking about the Mets prior to their first series against the Washington Nationals in 2011.

Redskins vs. 49ers Q&A and prediction with Tom Bridge

Remember how I had a Washingtonian in San Francisco talk about the Washington Redskins vs. San Francisco 49ers earlier? Now, I’m having a Northern Californian in Washington do the same. Tom Bridge of welovedc.com talks about his Niners.
WFY: After being everybody’s trendy sleeper pick for a couple of years, the 49ers are finally playing well [...]

Redskins vs. 49ers Q&A and prediction with my friend David

I think my friend David is the first 3-time guest prognosticator. You may recall we made fun of the Indy Colts last year and then he talked to me about his San Francisco Giants. Here’s the view of the 49ers from a transplanted Washingtonian…
WFY: After being everybody’s trendy sleeper pick for a couple of [...]

My take on “Rooting Interests: Who are D.C. fans?”

Rooting Interests: Who are D.C. fans? – The Post
The Post did a survey on Washington D.C. sports fans attitudes, favorite teams/owners, etc. recently. It mostly confirms what we already know about D.C. area fans:
“Washington fans are really a wonderful blend of the best parts of Northern tier fans and Sun Belt fans,” former Washington Nationals [...]

Washington Redskins vs. Buffalo Bills Q&A with my co-worker Fred

My co-worker Fred, a Western New York state native, is this week’s guest prognosticator. I tried not troll him too much about Washington Redskins traveling to Orchard Park, N.Y. Toronto to play the Buffalo Bills.
WFY: The Buffalo Bills are 4-2, just like you expected, right — what in the name of Pete Metzelaars is [...]
