There are three types: nice people who just want to get to know you; people who think you're rich and want something; and jealous people who want to start trouble. Fans don't understand what that's like. You feel like you're alone. And I couldn't believe it when Sean Taylor was killed. He was Superman on the field. But he wasn't in real life. Security in the NFL: Branden Albert, Chiefs T - ESPN The...

Nnamdi Asomugha is the best corner in the league. In fact, he makes Champ Bailey look like a steaming pile of puke. The Panthers tested Nnamdi but once last week and he was on that ball like Romeo Crennel on the last loaded potato skin. While not well-known among casual fans, he commands the [...]

Goodell believes the NFL is all about collective action, which is surprising given his individual flair. (By David Duprey - AP) Last week, several blogs offered their opinions on former Redskins safety and close Sean Taylor friend Ryan Clark being docked $5,000 by the NFL for honoring Taylor by etching "21" in his eye black. Believe it or not, some fans saw this not as preserving the uniform purity...

The last issue of Esquire that I picked up did this thing called the “Endorsement Issue,” where they endorsed Barack Obama, a candidate in every Senate and House race, and various simple things that can be enjoyed by Esquire-reading douchebags like me at some higher intellectual level. Random stuff like Clontarf Irish Whiskey, shoofly pie, [...]

Ryan Clark’s story is a good one. Undrafted out of LSU, he latched on as a special teamer with the Giants and worked his way into their defensive backfield before coming to Washington via free agency. He spent two seasons with the Skins, starting 24 games at safety, 22 of them alongside Sean Taylor. In [...]

Filed under: Redskins , Steelers , AFC North , NFC East , NFL Fans Oh, the humanity. The NFL continues its assault on common sense and decency, as they flippantly (that's how it appears, anyway) hand out player punishments for any number of absurd transgressions . The latest scrapbook entry involves Steelers safety Ryan Clark , the former Redskins player who was very close to the late Sean Taylor...

Politics makes people retarded, in an even less pleasant way than how sports makes people retarded. Observe any of the political flame wars that have erupted the last few weeks in the comment threads anytime the election has been mentioned even tangentially. Most folks have grown tired of the coverage and just want the shit to [...]

This was followed by a trick-or-treat parade through [...]

I wish I had some way to quantify the number of Skins fans who invaded Ford Field yesterday, but it was like counting empty seats at a Nats game. I was gonna just count Sean Taylor jerseys, but even that was like counting doo-rags in Raljon: there were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. The burgundy was more visible during the pre-game, since Lions fans seem to be a late-arriving sort. A late-arriving,...
