Big weekend for Lola Sports Talk Chicago Fire @ DC United 10/15 This late season match up between these two middling teams will be my third MLS game this year. I’m very excited to visit the storied RFK Stadium. Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins 10/16 Michael Vick will be returning to the scene of his [...]
The week that was: Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien’s daughter, Angela, made her debut in the Lingerie Football League At first I was abhorred by the level of sexism and the exclusionary nature of this league (sorry big girls, we’ll just have poor blocking then). I thought Lingerie Football was a once a year thing [...]
This column is officially FINO (Friday in Name Only). It’s purpose is to highlight long shots with good long term potential. Right now the free agent market is thinner than Matt Hasselback’s hair, but this is what we got. Running backs you may have forgotten about: Montario Hardesty The Browns may be on bye, but [...]

I’m here [...]

This weeks column is Friday in name only as it is released early Saturday morning. Yesterday I wrote a column imploring you to pick up Bernard Scott.
