Redskins...
Pretty much was convinced they stunk and there was NO chance they make the playoffs... now to see them have a SHOT, albeit a small one, but a shot nonetheless, makes me CRAZY! You have no choice but to look back and think about the Giants loss and the Arizona loss, just 2 of the losses they REALLY should have had... that would put them at 9-5!!!! And the Giants would be at 8-6... we would be #1 in the Wildcard race and almost DEFINITELY in the playoffs, might actually be locked up... now to have to play perfect and not lose to make the playoffs is nauseating... this is CRAZY.... please, please Redskins... claw, cheat, fight, steal, whatever, BEAT THE VIKINGS

The Mitchell Report, A Day After
A few words, a day after the release of the Mitchell Report.
First, how productive is it to include names of players, when this list is so incomplete? Is it fair to single out a small percentage when there are so many more? What does this accomplish? Also, coming up with a partial list seems like a half-assed job, at best, by Mitchell et al.
How much improvement will come from this multi-million dollar project? Mitchell seemed to name 80 some odd names, most that we already knew about or at least suspected, and the rest are retired and/or no-names. Also, we need to keep in mind that, most of his "credible" sources are guys trying to stay out of the clink. He told us the dangers and risks involved with steroid use (duh). He gives us suggestions that a third party should handle the drug testing and that we need to stay at the cutting edge of testing to keep up with the ever changing performance-enhancing drug landscape. Wow, super insight. Great contribution. This took several million dollars? How is this any different than Kenneth Starr's report several years ago?
In an era of baseball in which so many players appear dirty, we should recognize and congratulate those that have performed at a world class level without the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Manny Ramirez, and Ken Griffey, Jr. are the first to come to mind. You never ever hear their names mentioned in this discussion, when so many have been thrown out there (rumor or otherwise). Maybe we shouldn't congratulate someone just for not cheating, but given the state of things in baseball, we should at least recognize them for what they have done, and for playing the game the right way. At the least, this would be viewing this issue from a different perspective; a positive one. Although, I realize this would break the media's Oath to only report negativity. So, I'm sure nothing like this will be written.
Much respect to Manny Ramirez and Ken Griffey.

College Basketball
John - UMASS beats Syracuse then loses to UIPUI. What gives? Loss to Northern Iowa - not pretty either.
HC - tough loss to a quality Dayton team, this weekend.
