 Mike Brown.....hmmmm....when you think of Mike Brown the memory brings back flashes of brilliance at the safety position. You remember a load of interceptions brought back for touchdowns. You remember game winning defensive touchdowns. You remember a Bears team that was carried by its defense throughout the entire season. You remember Mike Brown as a top safety in the NFL and a Pro Bowl in 200...

 After returning from a brief hiatus, I decided to write about a recent article that caught me by surprise. While doing some much needed time killing, I stumbled across a copy of ESPN The Magazine and in this particular copy they highlighted a recent trend in the NFL: Playbooks are going digital.
Just try to imagine how many movies, episodes of NFL Hard Knocks you have seen that have the catch ...

 So Steve, the top dog around here, has been practically begging me to start up a blog. Apparently my writing is entertaining (This is him saying this, not me, so its not bragging).

As I thought about the evolution of Jason Campbell I started to see both parallels and differences between him and the Redskins era of Mark Rypien. Mark Rypien was vilified in Washington until he broke out in the 1991 Season. Jason Campbell is just like Mark Rypien in many ways. He is smart, he has a rocket arm and he is not a rah-rah guy. In 1991 then Owner, Jack Kent Cooke called Ma...

 Caps Lessons Learned 2009
It took me a while to write this outlook because I wanted to see who won the Stanley Cup in order to accurately judge how close the Caps are to their ultimate goal. At their current pace of progress they will earn a Stanley Cup in three seasons. If the Caps want to accelerate their progression I can think of a few things that might help.
1. The p...

Going into the final round Glover was second on the leaderboard behind Ricky Barnes. Although Mickelson was expected to close in on Monday, which he did was unable to crack the lead in the final stretch. Once, Glover was a top the leaderboard he never looked back. He held the lead and never gav...

 The majority of the fourth round started early this morning, making everything feel just a little different. Ricky Barnes has the lead at 7-under, Tiger has been pretty magic-less to this point, and we're watching the final round from work on Monday morning...different indeed.
Here is a U.S. Open early 4th round update (9:10 AM Central):
1. Ricky Barnes -7
2. Lucas Glover -6
T3. Ross Fisher -...
