Let me start off by congratulating the man who was one-third of a triumvirate that broke Washington Redskins fans' hearts throughout the 1990's. Emmitt James Smith III was truly a phenomenal running back out of Florida, who ran behind a stacked offensive line and gave former Cowboys' quarterback Troy Aikman relief and release when ...Published on: 15th July, 2010
A few years ago, Michael Vick was one of the National Football League's biggest stars. His No. 7 jersey was one of the best-sellers in the NFL, he had beaten Brett Favre and the Packers at Green Bay in a 2003 playoff game, and his signature sneakers and Nike commercials (remember ...Published on: 8th January, 2010
In the second of two games held early in 2010 in Pasadena, California, a couple of the most storied college football programs went head-to-head in a good-but-not-great 2010 Citi BCS Championship Game.

It's been years since the ...Published on: 13th September, 2009
Ugh. To paraphrase 32nd U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's somber words from his speech to Congress on Dec. 7, 1941, but Sept. 13, 2009, should be the day that the Washington Redskins shall live in infamy.
