Go Dallas Cowboys!

I hate to say it but if you like the Redskins, you like the Cowboys tonight on Monday Night Football. The Redskins need the lions to lose to continue to increase their odds of making the playoffs in back to back seasons. I'm not saying you need to go buy a Dak jersey to wear tonight but keep an eye on it and hope that Jerry decides to keep the starters in the whole game. Remember this would have been a lot easier and you wouldn't have had to root for the terrible Texas team if the Redskins wouldn't have laid a total dud against the Panthers. 

Let's see what happens..Go Cowboys!

March Madness

Hows your March Madness bracket? Mine is actually doing pretty well, it ranks 6,000. I know that doesn't sound that great but keep in mind there were 11.57 million brackets that were entered into the ESPN Tournament Challenge. I think this is what keeps us coming back each March, not just the crazy upsets or buzzer beater shots it's the gambling mentality each of us have. Whether you are in a pool for money or just want to be the top name in your office pool, you will continue to fill out a bracket each March and actually think you might be the first person to complete a perfect bracket. 

Next year take some time and take some chances with your brackets if you want to be perfect. Keep in mind two 14 seeds moved on the very first day of the tourney! 

Almost Perfect Bracket

Redskins Coaching Options..

Now begins what unfortunately some people call the most exciting time of the Redskins season, the offseason! Here we go again another offseason of unknown, uncertainty, and Skins fans believing next year will be a Super Bowl year.

I think Dan Snyder needs to step back and plan for his new coach. He needs to change the coaching mentality in Washington. This can no longer be the place where coaches go to get a big pay day and continually have below .500 records. Snyder needs to start by hiring a football minded GM and let him decide who will be the next head football coach. But do you really think that Snyder will give up that much control? We will see...

The available coaches are quite intriguing. Did Bill Cowher already meet with Snyder? Will John Gruden give up his ESPN gig? Will RGIII be reunited with his college coach? See who else may be available to get the next head coaching job including what I think will be a great choice, Russ Grim former HOG...
