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 [...]

Redskins vs. Panthers Q&A and prediction with Kyle Thompson

This week the Washington Redskins travel to Charlotte (I’ve never been there, but the airport was nice enough) to take on the Carolina Panthers. I turn to Charlottean Kyle Thompson, a veteran of the Old School and Binghamton native, for some discussion about the Panthers.
WFY: You arrived in Charlotte around the same time as [...]

Redskins vs. Eagles Q&A and prediction with Kevin McGuire

This week, one of my favorite features, the guest prognosticator series returns! The Philadelphia Eagles are coming down I-95 to take on the Washington Redskins in a big NFC East matchup. Joining me this week is Kevin McGuire, a Philly sports fan who you may know from Examiner.com’s Penn State coverage and The Nittany Lions [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Redskins vs. Cardinals Q&A with nouveau Phoenician John

Look, I found somebody who actually follows the Arizona Cardinals! John is a former/displaced co-worker, former DC Metro resident residing in Phoenix as of a week ago, but he lived in Arizona for a few years circa 2005 before coming home. He is a fan of about 67 different teams and has been a season [...]

Redskins owner Dan Snyder drops CityPaper suit

I finally got around to blogging about the Dan Snyder vs. CityPaper/Dave McKenna SLAPP suit the other day after several false starts. The fact that Snyder had not even read the whole article showed that the whole thing was intellectually dishonest.
Last night, around 8 p.m., Snyder announced that the suit would be dropped. So, at [...]

Redskins vs. Giants prediction and Q&A with Brad: Game 1, 2011 season

Another Washington Redskins season means more guest prognosticators and this week is regular New York Football Giants contributor, my friend Brad Stratton.
WFY: Do you think the Giants will benefit from the lockout since they are established at quarterback?
Brad: The QBs missed out on OTAs and minicamps. There was precious little time for quarterbacks and their [...]
