Vick does have a fracture

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick clearly got leveled at the one-yard line against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. And he clearly suffered some rib and chest injuries as a result. However, we were told that there was no fractures in his ribs, but only cartilage damage (like that’s any better?). Then Vick went on Bruce [...]

Vick’s x-rays are negative

It was bad news for Philadelphia Eagles fans today as quarterback Michael Vick had to leave after getting crushed between two Redskins at the goal line. Insult to injury, the run was called back and Kevin Kolb couldn’t get the team in the end zone. Vick left the game with injuries to his clavicle and [...]

Eagles fans should boo Cataldi

Nationally, Angelo Cataldi of 610 WIP in Philadelphia might be best known for leading “The Dirty 30,” a group of “passionate” Philadelphia Eagles fans, up to the 1999 NFL Draft to show their support for Texas RB Ricky Williams. But, locally, those who know him and his radio show know that he’s a rabble rouser [...]

JA’s NFL Week 4 picks

My girlfriend is not a sports fan. Despite relentless efforts to turn her, I’m pretty confident she would rather watch QVC, infomercials or play Call of Duty Modern Warfare. rather than spend time watching a good old athletic competition. Albeit, a girl who wants to play C.O.D. is reason enough to turn a girlfriend into [...]

Here are some updates on some running backs who are annoying their fantasy owners. -Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno: It’s not looking [...]

Devin Thomas can’t get it going

This is certainly not what the Washington Redskins envisioned when they selected Devin Thomas in the second-round out of Michigan State in 2008. Head coach Mike Shanahan said in his Monday press conference that Thomas has barely taken the field on offense because the other receivers are practicing better than he is. Through three games, [...]

Week Three: NFC East game predictions

My job as an amateur non-journalist is to please NFL fans with bold predictions and game insight.  You may call 1-800 numbers for Joey Bambino’s ‘lock of the week,’ but what he tells you isn’t the same thing he tells the next guy.  It’s his job to get 50% of the money on one side [...]

Johnson needs MRI on ankle

Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson was an absolute beast this week against the Washington Redskins as the team rallied from a hefty deficit to get a win. His 158 yards and a TD (34 yards) were filthy, but his ankle injury wasn’t really. It actually kind of sucked. But, he did get back into the [...]

McNabb says Redskins can’t win without Haynesworth

We mentioned earlier that there were rumors of the Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans working a trade for disgruntled lineman Albert Haynesworth. While that’s still possible, the team’s quarterback doesn’t think that shipping Haynesworth out of town is a good idea. In fact, Donovan McNabb says that the team can’t win without him. “Albert is [...]

Redskins and Titans talking trade regarding Haynesworth?

The Washington Redskins are clearly not happy with their decision to sign Albert Haynesworth to a buttload of money in the 2009 offseason. Like many things the Redskins do, it was just stupid. And we all know by now all the BS that has been going on between Haynesworth and Shanahan. Well, that could all [...]

Redskins put Kelly on IR

The Washington Redskins are simply refusing to admit their mistake. Malcolm Kelly has just not produced at the NFL level for a variety of reasons, but mainly because he can’t stay healthy. So, instead of cutting their ties with the wide receiver, they have instead decided to shelve him for the season. “Malcolm Kelly on [...]

Kelly hurt again, chances of making the team are slim

Back in 2008, some observers considered Malcolm Kelly to be the best WR in the draft. But, there were concerns about his knee so he dropped a bit in the draft. However, the Washington Redskins don’t concern themselves with such matters. Facts like knee issues or character concerns or missing a left leg are of [...]

Could Redskins cut Johnson and Parker?

Jason Reid of the Washington Post says that a source told him during the offseason that the Washington Redskins had concerns about their running back depth behind Clinton Portis. You are probably thinking, “yeah, duh. That’s why they signed Larry Johnson and Willie Parker.” No, this was after they had already signed those two.

Haynesworth has rhabdomyolysis?

This would explain a lot. We mentioned before that Albert Haynesworth was having issues with the Washington Redskins and how they’ve been referring to his “headaches.” Well now, a league source tells Jason La Canfora of NFL Network that Haynesworth is likely suffering from a condition known as rhabdomyolysis, where muscle fibers get broken down [...]

Devin Thomas inching up the depth chart?

To date, 2008 second-round pick Devin Thomas has been a bust for the Washington Redskins. His work ethic has been in constant question and he’s produced next to nothing on the field. But, could that be changing? “I’m starting to get comfortable with what’s going on around here as far as what the standard is,” [...]

Saints add Ladell Betts

The New Orleans Saints didn’t wait long to replace fallen RB Lynell Hamilton, who was lost for the season last week. The Saints just signed former Washington Redskin Ladell Betts to a one-year $755,000 contract plus a $50,000 signing bonus. Many people might jump to the conclusion (like Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com did) that Betts [...]

It’s pretty well known that Washington Redskins defensive tackle/end Albert Haynesworth was not happy with the Redskins’ switch to the 3-4 defense. After a bunch of crying and whining from both sides, Albert finally showed up and decided to be a part of the team. But, could it possibly be that Haynesworth now likes the [...]

You know that you are officially part of your new team when your teammates start breaking your balls and pranking you.
