Yes, “it is my team.” Born and raised in DC, I have no other football team to call my own.

Have you ever seen Braveheart? Well, in case you have:

Stephen: “Stephen is my name, I’m the most wanted man on my island, except I am not on my island…woes the pity.”

Hamish: “do you mean Ireland.”

Stephen: “yeah, its mine.”

and yes, I am a mad man.

That half a sack came against the Eagles.

Demarcus Ware has 31.5 sacks in 32 games played against other NFCE teams. The distribution is pretty even. 10 against the Giants and Redskins, 10.5 against the Eagles. 53.5 sacks in 68 games against everybody else, obviously.

“my team”? Are you LiL Danny Snyder in disquise? Unless you are, lay off the “my” buisness. Makes you sound stupid.

As a Skins fan this is nice to read, but Orakpo still has a ways to go to be considered in the Ware category. Right now Orakpo has one signature move (outside speed rush), the great ones like Ware have at least 2. Until Orakpo perfects a second rush move he will never live up to his potential. I hope the addition of Kerrigan will light a fire under Orakpo’s butt.

Salt and Pepper, seasoning the Meat!

One of the only guys Vinny can say “i told you so” about.

I wish I could give any iota of credit to Vinny, considering he destroyed my team for many years…I would like to agree with you. However, if you remember that draft, for some reason, Orakpo fell to us @ the #13 when he was projected to go top 5. A monkey in the same position would have made that pick.

I swear he wasn’t held as a child and offensive lineman know this so they are giving him TLC!

I bet he draws the most holding calls in the NFC and that’s a sign of pure respect!

Oh yeah, and hit the Caps Loc key to switch it off. Makes you not seem quite so dumb.

And I’m a ‘Skins’ fan.

Its funny how 31 other teams don’t notice that we are destroying defensive stats.

————————————————-

CORRECTION…The Eagles have 15 as well (only rushing 4). I realize im gonna get 400 thumbs down (booohoooo) but you know im right.

Perhaps a sack or tackle against the Rams should count only 1/2. Let’s see. Bad O-line, seven step drop, receivers that cannot separate, no run game and a second year q-back. “Coach, put me in!!!” All defensive stats against the Rams should be disregarded for 2011.

Tony Romo in particular. The Cowgirls beat the Redskins, I’ll give them that. The Redskins are still sitting atop the NFC East, though. I’ll give credit where credit is due, Demarcus Ware is a beast. Too bad the Cowgirls are going to finish 8-8 at best.
