If you look at the Redskins schedule, they will start the season by going 4-2, but will finish with only seven wins. The Redskins have some talent like Clinton Portis, Santana Moss and Albert Haynesworth. [...]

Â
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning says he wants more meaningful playing time with the rest of the starters in tonight’s preseason game.

Video of Shaq Boxing De La Hoya
I mentioned earlier that I was very disappointed in the first episode of Shaq Vs. The show is comparable to a car wreck on a highway that you drive by and know you shouldn’t be staring at, but you can’t look away from it.

Can Vick Contribute?
Lost in all of the Vick discussion is whether he will actually be a difference maker this year. Surely, Vick out of the wildcat won’t be enough to catapult the Eagles over the Giants, though some have them as NFC East front runners anyway.
