Working title

1 and 1, not 1 and Done
After a shaky start, the Washington Redskins managed to squeeze out a 29-24 win in their home opener against the New Orleans Saints. The offense FINALLY got going in the fourth quarter, topped off with a magnificent 67-yd TD to Santana Moss. Forreals, our offense did good! If only they can start out with that kind of scoring, instead of wasting opportunities and leaving their D to do all the work. We have faith they can only get better….Right, Andrea?

Cue Cheesy Jingle Music
We think we just lowered our IQ’s several points by checking out this blog. Thanks a lot, Chris Cooley! I’m sure the Redskins Public Relations staff is THRILLED about your, um, overexposure.

Inside the Minds of Former ‘Skins Coaches
What’s Norv Turner really thinking? Poor Chargers. They lose in the last second to Carolina in week one and then lose a heartbreaker to the Broncos, courtesy of a botched call. Looks like he’s not the only former ‘Skins coach with troubles. Joe Gibbs Racing was caught cheating last month, Steven Spurrier’s South Carolina Gamecocks can’t quite get a win, and Marty Schottenheimer…where are you?

In other football news, the Dallas Cowboys beat Philly’s Eagles in a Monday Night Football shootout. We hate them both. And Matt Cassel led the New England Patriots to victory over Brett Favre and the Jets, 19-10. Tom who? Perhaps Brady’s returned to his original career….

O-H-I-NO!
This past Saturday’s “Clash at the Coliseum” wasn’t much of a clash, as the No.1 (Damn STRAIGHT) USC Trojans trounced the Ohio State Buckeyes 35-3. Once again, OSU showed everybody what they’re really made of on the big stage…which is…not much. And the Trojans, well, what more can you say? Mark Sanchez keeps throwing TDs, Joe McKnight keeps running them in, and the defense keeps forcing turnovers. More proof USC is still the football powerhouse in Los Angeles. (To end the football monopoly in LA, Mr. Neuheisel, your team can’t lose 59-0.)

The 12,000 Calorie Diet
Michael Phelps may have brought in the highest ratings for Saturday Night Live in years, but we think he still can’t compete with Peyton Manning and his family of comedic geniuses. Stick to the swimming!
