Brett Favre's gone, so Michael Vick talk dominates.
Vinny Cerrato yesterday told the Washington Post that the Redskins will not pursue Vick, doggedly or otherwise. But Cerrato has fibbed so many times about personnel matters, most blatantly while acquiring Jason Taylor from Miami last summer, that his credibility in these situations is less than zero. So [...]

Michael Vick was "conditionally reinstated" by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell yesterday. So the Vick-to-Redskins barkers got louder.
I know from dumbass arguments, and here's one of the dumbassiest on why Vick could fit in here as training camp opens this week:  Signing the free agent, says the Sporting News, "would give Vick an opportunity to play [...]

The Washington Kastles lost to the Philadelphia Freedoms, the team named after an Elton John song or vice versa, in their home opener last night. The big stories were the sellout crowd that filled Empty Parking Lot Arena, or whatever the temp downtown stadium is called, and the appearance of tireless Venus Williams, who gave [...]

Sounds like Rob Dibble has already seen enough.
Dibble, the Nationals color commentator, spoke for every fan yesterday. He went off when second baseman Anderson Hernandez jumped out of the way of a fine throw from pitcher Jesus Colome on a routine sacrifice attempt in the eighth inning and the Nats up a run over Philly.
Hernandez's [...]

Robin Ficker, who sued to get Redskins seasons tickets 20 years but turned them back into the team a few weeks ago, isn't going into hibernation.
As Fickerphiles know, making a scene at sporting events ain't his only fetish: So is running for political office.
As Ficker, a ruthless and tireless campaigner who has run for every [...]

Vinny Cerrato got creative with his team's fifth-round pick. Uh oh!
The Redskins' GM-with-a-longer-title-and-less-power-than-a-typical-GM selected Cody Glenn, a converted linebacker whose Nebraska career was most notable for injuries and the way it ended: by getting kicked off the team last year for an undisclosed off-field incident.
As Lawrence Phillips or any honest Husker fan can tell you, [...]

The Redskins are having another draft party at FedExField tomorrow.
If you can avoid the folks on commission who are trying to sell you club seats and get you on the bogus season ticket Waiting List, it's a fine event.
Even if you don't get caught up in the Sanchez vs. Campbell debate, you can marvel at [...]

As everyone knows by now, a man was assaulted a few days ago after taking down a Cowboys flag off of someone's car. The story made the local news but merited only an AP story in the Post. This should have landed on the front page! This may just mark a turning point in Redskins [...]

All this news about Jay Cutler possibly joining the Redskins is killing me. I've generally ignored the rumors in favor of March Madness and the impossible hope that Skins management have learned its lessons about paying too much for either mediocre players (Archuleta) or over-the-hill stars (Bruce Smith, Jason Taylor, Prime Time). But now I [...]

Cleveland Park isn't a neighborhood smacking of huge displays of sports fandom. But Libby Kavoulakis, 45, is a lifelong, season-ticket-holding Steelers fan. And besides, she says, "we're world champions." So she put up two banners, one on her garage and another, larger one across the second story of her house on Reno Road at Warren [...]

January: As a Redskins fan, it's generally the month you get to return to your usual weekend activities, keeping half an eye on the heartbreaks of others while your own heart heals. If you have season tickets, it's the month that you get to experience reasonably priced beverages and you only have to sit next [...]

Dan Snyder's running a fab 2-for-1 deal over at his Redskins.com store that sums up his team's offseason moves and general raison d'etre: Pre-order a Albert Haynesworth #92 Redskins "replica jersey" and he'll give you a free Jason Taylor #55 jersey.
Which leads to an existential question: Can something that's not yet been — an Albert [...]

To a weekly contract, following his release by the Dallas Cowboys.
I am sure that such a short-term deal wouldn't jibe with the contract that the NFL has negotiated with the NFLPA, but there should be a clause for a guy like Terrell Owens: If you've acted like a jackass for your entire career yet [...]

Dan Steinberg posted another clip from "Kindergarten Ninja" today on the Sports Bog.
That's the B-minus movie from 1994 that starred Cerrato as "Sgt. Antonelli," a detective who enlists kids to help him fight drug gangs.
It's amazing viewing.
Fallout from his role in "Kindergarten Ninja" could have legs. Folks over at Extremeskins.com, Dan Snyder's message board, have [...]

Vinny Cerrato showed up for his radio show today on Dan Snyder's WTEM. Sort of.
Cerrato skipped Monday's broadcast of "Inside the Red Zone with Vinny Cerrato," so this program should have provided fans their first shot at the Redskins executive vice president, football operations since the team's latest crap-like performance in Baltimore and subsequent Portis/Zorn [...]
