RGIII not the same RGIII...

Robert Griffin III started Sunday Night Football out looking like the RGIII of old with a few good runs and scrambles outside the pocket. It seemed that Redskins fans were going to get the old RGIII back and turn the season around, right? Not so fast, RGIII struggles were still evident with multiple over throws and a costly fumble that just about sealed the fate for the Redskins on Sunday night.

It seems that its going to take a lot longer to get the old RGIII back in the burgundy and gold. Maybe he is not like the Adrian Peterson, maybe he is still hurt, maybe he is not as good as we thought? Whatever it is we need to stay behind RGIII and get this season turned around. It's going to take some huge upsets, and multiple winning streaks to keep the season alive..

Nationals Trade for Cubs Outfielder

The Washington Nationals have traded for Cubs outfielder Scott Hariston to bolster their bench. With the Nationals bench struggling and the need for a powerful hitter against left handed pitching Hairston might be the perfect fit. The trade become official this morning according to Adam Kilgore and James Wagner. Check out their story here: Nationals Trade. It is not official yet who the Nationals had to give up to acquire Hariston. Hopefully this is the insurance the Nats needed to get them going in the second half of the season...

Redskins Salary Cap

It's almost time for the NFL free agency market to start and it's almost time for Dan Snyder to get out the checkbook, right? Well, not so fast. The Redskins still have a 18 million dollar salary cap hit looming over their head and it may make it very difficult for the Redskins to be their usual big spending self during this off-season.

If the Redskins want to make moves they will have to make enough salary adjustments and may even release a few unexpected players. Players like DeAngello Hall, Fred Davis, and Santana Moss may no longer be Redskins in the near future. With large guarantees in their contacts, these guys are going to have to do some serious restructuring if they want to stay in the burgundy and gold. I think Santana Moss may have the best shot of being released this off season. He is getting older and the Redskins feel like they may have some younger talent that can start to fill his shoes. It would be strange to lose a guy that lead your team in TD receptions a year ago, but it would give Snyder more money to spend and make a free agent splash...

Washington Nationals back in Action..

The Washington Nations are finally back on the field after their heart breaking loss in last years playoff run. The Nationals are back with a little added pressure. This town now expects the Nationals to be at the top of the NL East and making another run at the playoffs. With off season editions of Denard Span, Rafael Soriano from the Yankees, and starting pitcher Dan Haren it looks like the Nationals are poised for another outstanding season. Not to mention the edition of a 5th president to the famous presidents race...maybe this will have a good effect on the season? I think the players are in the positions they need to be in and the batting lineup is strong from top to bottom. Rizzo has put together a great group of guys that are poised to make a run at a World Series title!

I still stand behind my thinking that this will be the team to bring a championship back to the DC area before the Redskins.
