on the road (again)

It looks like the Cowboys will be signing Z-Thomas. Zach, if you're reading this, I hate to break it to you: the Pats were the best shot you had at winning a Super Bowl. Playing for Wade Phillips and Jerry Jones will hasten your retirement and Tony Romo will take you on a crappy vacation as a consolation prize when you lose in the first round of the playoffs. Didn't you call Junior Seau about your situation? Take his advice, not your agents.

I'll give you a disclaimer, too, since you have concussion problems: when you play the Redskins next season watch out for Portis and Betts; they play smash-mouth football and they run a lot harder than any back in the AFC East. Same thing goes for when you play the Giants. The Nigerian Nightmare will run you over and tower over you since you're only 4'10.

Lebron skunked the Wizards yet again, and I think this is the 5th time he's killed us in a close game. The Wizards are hanging tough, though. Butler is still out and Arenas has been absent. The team is still around 500 notwithstanding these injuries. I'm gonna put together a massive post on the Wizards sometime soon, but Arenas' injury basically allowed the team to develop their younger talent. His absence allowed guys like Antonio Daniels, Nick Young, Dominic McGuire, Andray Blatche, Roger Mason Jr, and Deshawn Stevensen to develop into very good players. Now if we only had a decent center...

Great piece on the Redskins this morning. A big part of me wants Zorn to build on Gibb's legacy as a class act and first-rate football coach. But when I hear things like this, "Zorn praised the wide receivers on the Redskins' roster" I have to be critical.

I'm on the road this weekend (Big Apple and LA), but stay tuned for a massive post on cheating and sports either today or tomorrow.
