Watch This Space

Coming Monday, the multi-part debut installment of Curly R's long-awaited offseason feature, Redskins Greatest Games.

Hail to the Redskins.


PS- I have a new favorite blog, Hail to the Deadskins. Read with bemusement the hagiography of Michael Irvin. Money quote:

Art Monk’s career stats are better than Michael Irvin’s. So what? Monk was a consistently good receiver for a very long time. Irvin willed his team to victory on a regular basis. There is no comparison.

Recognizing that a Cowboys fan defending Mike is easily dismissed, I’ve spent several days mulling over the proper approach to a dispassionate, objective analysis proving Irvin’s worthiness as one of the all-time greats. And then it hit me: An emotionless reading of Irvin’s career misses the point entirely, because it was precisely his passion that made him the player he was.


No comparison? None? Another Cowboys fan realizes objective analysis is beyond his ability. Two words guys: Wade Phillips. Enjoy your weekend.
