If you were to judge new Georgetown head coach Patrick Ewing and his first season at the helm of his alma mater, you might say that this team has a long way to go in the competitive Big East Conference. And you would be right. Georgetown head coach Patrick Ewing, right, stands for the anthem […]

In the sloppiest game of a season full of slop, the 2017 season for our Washington NFL team is mercifully over.   New York Giants’ Dalvin Tomlinson (94) tackles Washington Redskins’ Keith Marshall (39) during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 31, 2017, in East Rutherford, N.J.

That was exciting, wasn’t it? The Washington NFL team just won their second consecutive game to close out their home schedule, a 27-11 victory against an equally disappointing and battered Denver Broncos team. Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs (39) carries the ball during the first half an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos […]

After two horrible performances against the Dallas Cowboys and San Diego Chargers over the last two weeks, Washington was already officially eliminated from postseason contention. It is now officially the “playing for pride” portion of the schedule for the Washington NFL team. These last few games are paramount for a lot of people associated with […]

I honestly feel sorry for the thousands of Washington NFL fans who make cross-country trips to watch this team throw up all over themselves. Sunday’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers left the Washington NFL team with a 5-8 record, a mark that gives them no chance for a winning record with three games […]

In what has become an increasingly numbing 2017 campaign, the Washington NFL team laid another flat-out egg on the national TV stage, getting out-played, out-coached and out-whatevered by a similarly depleted Dallas Cowboys unit with a defeat of 38-14 on Nov. 30. Washington drops to 8-24 (.250) in their last 32 prime-time games. They’re 14-32 […]

For the second consecutive season, the Washington NFL team was slated to entertain the nation by playing on Thanksgiving. It’s doubtful whether the viewing public was indeed entertained by what, at times, resembled a glorified preseason game. Nonetheless, Washington walked away with a much-needed 20-10 victory on Nov. 23 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. […]

A 15-point lead with three minutes remaining in a game should be enough for a victory, right? Even if you’re playing the hottest team in the sport in the New Orleans Saints? You would think so. But if you’ve been a Washington fan for the last 20 or so seasons, you know that somehow, someway […]

A dreadful first-half defensive performance which saw the Washington NFL team surrender 14 points in the final two minutes of the second quarter buried their chances in a 38-30 loss against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 12 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (25) stiff arms Minnesota Vikings middle […]

Just when you think you have this team figured out…. Washington, who has been ravaged by injuries to virtually the whole starting offensive line, tight end Jordan Reed, receiver Jamison Crowders amongst countless others, were 8-point underdogs to Russell Wilson and the vaunted Seattle Seahawks at a blustery CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington.  But somehow…someway, […]

In what has become a bi-yearly ritual in Southwest Washington D.C., the Nationals have concluded yet another search for a new skipper by naming first-time manager Dave Martinez its new leader.  Martinez may not be a household name or one whose name comes up in casual fans’ minds but he has indeed gone through the […]
