Killer earth quakes, tsunamis, me on facebook, and now the Redskins not spending in an upcapped year, the end is near folks! In what may be the first sign of fiscal responsibility in Washington DC since the George Washington Administration, the Skins have not spent a cent in free agencies early hours. Instead they have cut loose $17 (M) in underachievers (except for Rock Cartwright). I must admit I will miss Antawn Randle El. No Skins punt returner (use that term loosely) was ever better at the fair catch.
Now who will I curse at every Sunday? Perhaps Clinton Portis? Yes, Southeast Jerome is still on the team somehow, while good guys Ledell Betts and Rock Cartwright are not.
CBS for the past several years has been shooting a show called
"Survivor DC Athlete" the two stars are Clinton Portis and Gilbert Arenas. The object is to see who can do the most damage to their respective franchise and still keep their job. So far it is too close call! Ok, for accuracy sake, I understand the only reason both are still employed has to do with $$. Cutting them would be costly,
but it is a goofy irony that they are still here and others have been sent elsewhere. I would still bet on Arenas being gone by next season. Portis right now looks like he is will be reunited with Mike Shanahan, which is fine as long as he plays like he did in Denver.
I am a little worried about the new "Redskins brain trust," of Allen and Shanahan. It seems like they actually have a plan, out with the old in with the new, and don't overspend. How will DC Sports Radio survive? What will there be to talk about?
Caps, Wizards, or Nats? Ok, I'm getting carried away because it is still early. I mean Redskins One could swoop in still and pick up Julius Peppers at Chicago Midway and bring him to DC, right? Or could it be this time there actually is a plan unlike the "Crazy Eyed" Vinny Cerrato era. The only pitfall is if it works the Redskins may lose Allen to the White House, they clearly could use help with the books.
