Autographs

Friday night I will be signing autographs in Tysons Corner. It will be from 7-9 p.m. and will be in PSGamegear. If you would like any more information or to pre-purchase a ticket their phone number is 703-448-1701. The signing will only last for two hours and I will be signing 125 items.

I will be donating all of the proceeds to schools in D.C. through the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation.

Training Room

I took a big hit on my first catch of the game. It was a pass play, but I was initially left in blocking on the right side of the formation. No one was open early as the play started to break down. I moved out into the flat and Jason started to scramble toward me. As he threw the ball I felt like I was left by myself. Little did I know the corner was quickly making his way toward me while the ball was in the air. Before I knew it I was on the ground thinking where did that guy come from.

It took me about two plays off while I dry heaved on the sideline to make it back to the game. Really what it ended up being was a massive charlie horse in the side of the leg. The bad thing about these little injurys is they hurt like hell the next day. My buddy Larry thought the plunger technique was first in line for the healing process. We also tried a little "cupping" as well as some massage. Let me just say this, our training staff takes care of business, they're the best!

Fashion Police

When Malcom Kelly say, "I got a sag in my jean, man I'm lookin clean." I am concerned because I wouldn't want this to happen.

A 17-year-old spent a night in jail last week after police arrested him for wearing low pants in Riviera Beach, southeast Florida.

Yes that is right, baggy pants = jail time. I mean how dare a kid show off his underpants. What would they do if he accidentially...no, I won't even go there. But honestly, if I'm a cop, I feel like there are bigger issues than playing fashion police but maybe I'm wrong. Apparently there could be a more extreme punishment for wearing low-slung pants.

In Delcambre, Louisiana, offenders can be fined up to 500 dollars or jailed for up to six months.

You heard, SIX MONTHS for low riding. So be safe buy a pair of mom jeans next time

Really the Cowboys?

We thought it would be fun to have a Cowboys blogger on the site every week. Just a enemy fans point of view and at least everyone can crush him. Let's face the facts though, as long as we cheer for the Skins, we're gonna have to deal with the Cowboys. We'll just call our new man Cowboy Dan.

With all the attention put on Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson's off the field relationship what's one more conversation going to hurt? From shaking her amazing goodies in an owners' box, to their much publicized playoff bye week trip to Mexico she has been crazy. Add her prediction last week about the Cowboys kicking the Eagles ass, and much speculation has been made that all this attention has a drastic effect on Tony Romo's level of play. Seriously, what else does the guy have to do to prove himself a notable quarterback in this league? Since he has become a starter, in 27 games he has 56 TD's, over 7400 yards, 2 Pro-Bowl appearances and a QB rating of 96.7. Let's all stop worrying about what his girlfriend is doing or saying and just sit back and enjoy watching him and the Cowboys kick everybody's ass in the league. At least he isn't showing his junk all over the place.

Fantasy Update

Our match up of the week between Tana and Smoot definitely came down to the wire. After scoring an embarrassing 16 points last week, Fred's team managed to even out this week with his one point victory over Santana. I wonder what makes Tana happier, Shockey fumbling to cost him this weeks fantasy win or Shockey fumbling and actually helping us beat the Saints? You be the judge. Anyways, the rest of the results will be up in the morning on the sidebar tomorrow so be sure to check them out.

We're Dumb

All apologies from the website.  We are very sorry that we showed a penis on our website all day yesterday.  That was by no means our intention and we did not want to offend anyone.   The picture wouldn't have been up for so long, but we were in the middle of winning a big game.  Once again, this was a complete accident and we regret not reviewing the post more closely.  Thanks.

Fantasy Matchup of the Week

Smoot and Santana have been picked as the matchup of the week.  Both took losses in the first week, and Smoot scoring under 20 points and losing Tom Brady for the season was devastating.  I caught them at breakfast this morning for a little preview.

Bonaroti

A great tradition began three years ago. Ristorante Bonaroti is what I consider the best resturant in the entire DC/Virgina area. Wait, really if I think about it my favorite resturante of all time. In just three years I have so many great memories there. The owner Sergio and his wife Noel are two of the best people I have ever been around.

So anyways, back to the tradition. For the last three years we have been eating there before every home game. It's always been Yoder and I, sometimes we incorporate some different faces (Colt Brennan tonight), but me and Yodes have never missed.
I even have my own appetizer on the menu, unbelievable by the way - buffalo mozerella wrapped in dry aged filet minon. It's called brezola, really I don't know if that's how you spell brezola, and I can't ever pronounce it right, but it's damn good!
Although I am listed on the menu, I haven't actually ordered from it in over two years. When Yoder and I show up, we just ask Serg whats the best thing we could order and he hooks it up every time. Tonight I went spaghetti, best spaghetti in the world, and I'm counting on the energy in the heat tomorrow. Bonaroti's never fails!

TC: College Football GOW

I don't care who you are or where you're from. North, South, East, or West the college game this week has got to be #5 Ohio State heading to Hollywood to take on the top ranked USC Trojans. Are these teams that good? Yes. One of them has played for the national title each of the last four seasons and this game could determine who will go this year. Should you watch this game? Yes.

"We love competing against the top teams," USC quarterback Mark Sanchez said. "That's why I came here. It's going to be a great day for college football. The (Los Angeles) Coliseum is going to be rocking."

God came down and handed me that pick of the week but here are some others that I feel are notable.

#23 Cal is coming to College Park - Will this be a good game? If a good game to you is watching one team destroy another, then yes it will be great. I mean Cal is sort of good. In 2 games they've scored 102 points and only given up 34. Maryland on the other hand lost to Middle Tennessee State last week...enough said

I know that a good one will probably be Kansas at South Florida but instead I am highlighting #6 Missouri vs Nevada at 12:37 pm. Why this game? Because Nevada is in the WAC...and I hate them. Plus the 12:37 kickoff jumped off the page at me so I had to check it out.

After saying that WV was going to "beat ECU's ass" I owe a true apology to them. Like I said before, my knowledge is still on the west coast. But after beating the Mountaineers last week ECU jumped to #14 in the polls and should have an easy win over Tulane this week. GO PIRATES!
Being fresh out of college I still have plenty of friends that play football for the Aggies. No, not Texas A&M, not New Mexico State, but the Utah State Aggies. I feel like I can say that because after losing to Oregon 66-24 last week the Ducks actually moved up two spots in the polls. Good job with the strength of schedule on that one computer. And this week doesn't get any easier for the Aggies as they try not to lose their 11th straight game against #22 Utah. Good luck guys, at least it won't be snowing Logan.

Normally the Michigan/Notre Dame game is a good one. This year...not so much. They just aren't that good anymore. But thanks to NBC you can still check it out at 3:47.

My final game worth noting this week is UCLA at #18 BYU. I briefly mentioned how I wanted to be watching BYU last week against Washington, a game was won on a blocked extra point that was long because of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but I chose Cincinnati/Oklahoma instead (head slap). So this week I am putting them on the charts.

So fellow fans, check the blog regularly tomorrow and give me your thoughts on the games. I know I will need something besides football to fill my day.

Papelbon Gone Wild

Besides being a Ryan Zimmerman fan, Chris loves the Red Sox. So when I saw this, I knew it had to go on the blog.

In May Rob Bradford, then of the Boston Herald currently of WEEI.COM, told me that Sheila Papelbon (Jonathan’s mom) had a video tape of her son and the rest of his high school teamates in heels, dresses and wigs at high school rally. We later learned the tape also showed Pap playing the role of Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing with his best friend then and now playing the role of Jennifer Grey.

If you didn't catch it last night on Washington Post Live. You have to see it. I don't even know where to begin describing this thing so just watch the video.

This isn't the first time Papelbon has made an ass of himself on stage. Watch here and here to see more great stuff from the Red Sox closer.
