    I have been a Washington Redskins fan for as long as I can remember.  It is Sunday, so that means I am sitting here watching the Skins, though as badly as they have been playing this year, I am not sure why.  Anyway, over the years, they ha...

  • Wes Welker's Snow Angel

    Posted on Sunday December 21st, 2008 at 20:47 in nfl

    I love watching football games played in the snow. Here in Maryland, they broadcast today's Arizona Cardinals & New England Patriots game. It wasn't much of a game, a blow out for the Pats. The most entertaining moment of the game came when We...
