I can't imagine [Washington Times Skins beat writer] Elfin believes there's a realistic scenario that has Brennan under center for the Redskins in 2010. And even if Brennan was an option, no way owner Dan Snyder, who has a predilection for high-priced free agents, lets it happen. In fact, there's a better chance that Michael Vick and Antwaan Randle El start at quarterback for the 'Skins in the A-11 offense.

Harry Jaffe: Five reasons Dan Snyder should sign Michael Vick
[Harry Jaffe - Washington Examiner]
I'm convinced the Examiner article was written by a 15-year old. First, the columnist misspelled his paper's name in the first sentence with "Examinter." Secondly, he brings up the exhausted reasons of Snyder liking Deion Sanders and Mark Brunell. Brunell was Gibbs' pick and Deion was almost TEN years ago.

He said he weighed as much as 265 pounds last season, but reported to camp at 228.

I’m not really thinking Patron really piles on the LBs though…
Love the Bucs bringing back the throwbacks though, why would they ever change?
Jerseys that should never change:
Tampa Bay orange creamsicle
Redskins white tops on mustard bottoms with the R helmet
San Fran and their classic red
Denver and the Orange Crush jerseys with the Blue helmet with the D logo
damn…what am I missing?

Love the radioshack helmet
- Eagles should go back to the old ones
- Bolts to the powder blues
- Pats to the red jersey and the patriot guy hiking
Bolts powder blue!
Totally…with the white helmet and yellow bolt

Native Americans
I ironically have a very small percentage of Native American blood in me…and I write for the Skins. Is that enough to close the book?

…where you have constant phony outrage.

I bet there’s tons of native-indians that love the Skins. HTTR!

dr WNC-more than a small precentage of Native American blood (grandmother-100%)
Just to really clear the air—People need to get over it, not a big deal…time to move forward…next
And a fan of the Redskins! HAIL!
Does anyone feel like Stafford can do better?
Welcome to the dawn of the moppy headed, frat boy QBs… Culter, Stafford, Leinart… Did I miss any?
He's not marrying the chick!
Man…for an afternoon fling..I think he’s doing just fine.

Hayneworth at DE (PK)
If that’s the case, I asked, would offenses have to face the 350-pound Haynesworth bull-rushing from one side and the lithe Brian Orakpo rushing from the opposite … on maybe a third of the snaps per game. "Maybe,‘’ Blache said with a big smile. "Maybe. We’ll see.’’
RAK EM UP!
Stewart Bradley
If the Bradley injury is serious, the already sketchy Iggles LB corps takes a huge hit.
RAK EM UP!
Most likely replacement is Joe mays
Joe Mays, starting middle LB
3rd year, out of North Dakota State. Has played in 2 career games and has yet to record a NFL tackle.
http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=15401
Omar Gaither...
Gaither is Bradley’s likely replacement…
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9754
Started at MLB in 2007, was moved to WLB in 2008 to make room for Bradley, and lost his starting WLB job to Akeem Jordan. Gaither plays hard, is very athletic, but makes a lot of mistakes and offenses look to create mismatches on him with the TE in coverage. It’s a big downgrade.
wait
bradley is out for the year?
wooooowwwwww, thats huge
any free agents they could pick up in case they don’t trust joe mays?
BDawk is either hungover from the jonas brothers concert or just in deep depression over stu bradley
Both... The Jonas Brothers rocked the house last night.
Bradley’s replacement won’t be Mays… It’ll be Omar Gaither.
And this is an absolutely ENORMOUS loss. He’s an immensely underrated player – a legitimate star in the making that nobody outside the NFC East really knows anything about. I ranked Bradley the 7th most irreplaceable player on the team (link below).
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2009/6/7/893374/rankings-what-20-eagles-can-we
In this division, which has 3 great rushing attacks, this is a major blow. Major. It takes a team to stop the run, but Bradley was by far and away the most important player on this defense in that aspect.
Somebody in my office sneezed earlier, and instead of saying “God bless you,” in my head I was thinking “Shut the fuck up, dickface!” That’s the kind of mood I’m in right now.
