A Historical Night for the Redskins.

Redskins become 1st team in NFL history with a rookie 2,000+ yard passer and a rookie 1,000+ yard rusher in the same season.  And they win back to back to back division games.  This is the first year ever when my fantasy teams implode BEFORE the Redskins.  Looks like I’ll have something to do for … Continue reading →

When life gets tough.

I’ve been selfish lately.  Since the last time we spoke, I’ve endured a gnarly IT band injury on my left knee that has sidelined me from running and most other fitness routines I love.  On an even more personal note, I’ve also endured a little bit of heartbreak, which has sidelined me motivationally.  Life has … Continue reading →
