Redskins Draft

   The Washington Redskins did not have any draft picks yesterday due to receiving Robert Griffin III last year.  They won't have any 1st round picks next year either.  This year however, they have 7 picks between the 2nd and 7th rounds.  They need some help in the secondary, and on the O-Line, and could use a WR aswell if someone lands in their lap.  Secondary is the main need and if they can get somebody like DJ Swearinger in the 2nd or third round that would be good as well as someone like Desmond Trufant, the Skins would have a successful day 2.  Lastly, if wide receivers, Justin Hunter, or Robert Woods drops to them at 51st I say grab him.  The Skins have good receiver but nothing spectacular.  Help RGIII all you  can!

Redskins Schedule Overview

  Today the Washington Redskins schedule was released.  They have a schedule on the easier end at 18th this year.  This is not too surprising as the NFC East wasn't too great last year.  I don't expect them to be too much better this year.  They also have to face the NFC North and AFC West.  The AFC West has one good team in the Broncos, as the rest of the teams are the Chiefs, Chargers, and Raiders.  The NFC North is very competitive and they have one primetime match up with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, November 7th.  The Redskins have won their last two games on Thursday, last year on Thanksgiving against the Dallas Cowboys and in the 2007 season against an NFC North team, the Chicago Bears.  The Redskins also have 4 more night games this year.  They are against their 3 division rivals and the San Francisco 49ers. The Skins are playing the Eagles on a Monday Night, opening week, at FedEx Field.  The last time these two met in a Monday Night party at FedEx, the Eagles blew the Redskins out 59-28 led by Michael Vick's 4 passing and 2 rushing touchdowns.  The Redskins played the Cowboys twice on a national stage last year, once on Thanksgiving day and one in week 17 on Sunday Night.  The Skins took both of those.  The Redskins also played the Giants once on Monday Night last year, coming away with a win.  The Redskins are also playing the San Diego Chargers this year.  Overall, the schedule is exciting and everyone is ready for another electrifying Skins team this year.

Nationals: 6-2 start, What does it mean?

   The Nationals are off to a 6-2 start.  What does that mean in the MLB? Absolutely nothing.  Last year at this time, the division leaders at the time were different than the division leaders at the end of the season in exception to one, the Detroit Tigers.  And the World Series Champions, San Francisco?  They were 1-4, at the bottom of their division coming off a 17-8 loss to the Colorado Rockies.  In fact the best team at the time, the Los Angeles Dodgers didn't even make the playoffs.  That shows something about the beginning of the season in the MLB.  With a 162 game season, 5-8 games into the season means absolutely nothing for all teams and fans.  Especially sorry to those fans in Kansas City as it would be a miracle if the season ended today and they were in the playoffs.
