I’m so grateful for NyQuil these past couple of nights, I seem to be coming down with some type of head cold. I did the usual and had my flu shot this year ,so I should be protected from that burden, but there has been several people in my neighborhood that have been home on sick leave, so I shouldn’t be too surprised that some type of bug with an attitude would find it’s way to me at some point.
Between the Night Time NyQuil and the Tylenol, I have been able to deal with it. I’m just hoping that it doesn’t progress any worse, that would make for a horrible holiday experience to deal with.

A long time Redskins fan will surely recognize the name Sammy Baugh. This man was one of the best in his time, and a world class quarterback who revolutionized the use of the forward pass.
Slingin’ Sammy Baugh, the ultimate three-way threat, died tonight at 94 years old.
Sammy played with the Redskins from 1937 to 1952. He led them to the NFL title his first season and again in 1942. In 1943, he led the NFL in passing, punting and defensive interceptions. Baugh was the last surviving member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s inaugural class.
Sammy Baugh was a great football player and an inspiration to many. He will be missed.

The redskins really let us down yesterday with an embarrassing 20-13 loss to Cincinnati. Especially since the Bengals are one of the worst teams in the NFL with their previously 1-11-1 record. I mean, WTF?
The buzz around the Redskins base camp was whether owner Dan Snyder will fire Coach Jim Zorn after just one season in charge. After all, Snyder paid Norv Turner, Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Spurrier not to coach the team when they fell into disgrace. Let’s hope the Redskins have a win this next week against Philly. It will be tough, but this team can be tough.

As a kid we would hear the folks say that they were “P O’d” when they were in polite company. At home they would just be “Pissed Off.”
Well, I’m thinking someone has pissed off Mother Nature because this weather is just not right. Houston and New Orleans are getting snow today. That is just not normal. It’s cold here, too. The forecast for the next week is cold and wet. That’s great – if you are a duck.

Have to say that I hate the Baltimore Ravens. That team is one of the few that I really can’t abide. They are a team of overpaid thugs. I don’t think they do a good job representing the fine citizens of Baltimore and the state of Maryland.
But I let all reason go out the window when I bet on the Redskins to beat Baltimore with a 6 point spread. That sorry team really let me down when they lost to Baltimore 10-24 yesterday.
They had a small chance to pull it out in the fourth quarter but they just couldn’t measure up. That blind loyalty cost me $50.
