And then there were four...

Wow, I've got to give it up for the Arizona Football Cardinals this weekend. Was that the biggest upset of the postseason or what?

Kurt Warner is returning to his roots as a GOOD quarterback and that defense was spanking the Panthers all day long. That's great for Coach Wisenhunt and the crew. I hope they can make it all the way to Tampa.

Regarding the Baltimore Browns...meh....they beat the Titans. Not a huge surprise there in my opinion. The Titans were looking rough down the stretch and Baltimore has been in this position before. I hold Jeff Fisher personally accountable for allowing the Baltimore Browns to advance into the championship game.

Regarding the Ickles vs. obGyMEN aka the Giants...it was only a matter of time. The Giants were paper tigers in that game. They pushed, they fought, they crumbled. When McNabbit can throw and run all over you, it's time to reconsider your career path. Hell, the Redskins spanked the Eagles TWICE this year.

And finally, the Steelers vs. Chargers. GOOD! I hate Phillip Rivers. And not because he's a better than average, actually good, quarterback on an opposing team. I hate him because he's a pompous little hot head that thinks the fans owe HIM something. Flash: Mr. Rivers, those fans pay your salary. Get over yourself.

So now we get to look forward to a Steelers vs. B-Browns matchup, there will be blood.

Eagles vs. Cardinals, there will be feathers. Either way, it's shaping up to be a great championship weekend. I think we're looking at an all bird superbowl, my prediction: Cards vs. Ravens.

In the meantime, get your gear at the Hog Shop!

2 Former Skins in the Playoffs this weekend!

It's a rough time of the year for Redskins Fans. We don't have a team to root for in the post season.

HOWEVER - you can stroll down memory lane and support some of our former greats as their new teams battle for their post-season lives:

Russ Grimm - One time HOG, Hall of Fame Candidate and Offensive Coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals! It's my belief that this man will have a head coaching spot in 2009!

Ernest Byner - Running backs coach for the Tennessee Titans. He used to tear up the yards in DC, now he's showing the new generation how it's done!


Now, there are other former Redskins still actively playing that are on playoff teams this year, but I refuse to pull for them. I'm THAT guy. I know they might not have chosen to leave us, but they're on the opposition now.

So I'm throwing my support behind the Titans and the Cardinals for a Superbowl Showdown. (though, I'm pretty sure Arizona goes home this weekend)
