HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

'Tis the day before the Washington Redskins play their first preseason game. Tomorrow night they (we) take on the overrated Bungles in what could be a Super Bowl preview (HA!). I purposely try to stay away from blogging about sports, but with this year's squad and the buzz surrounding it, let me just share my thoughts.

We will go 11-5. We will get a wild card after tying with the Giants (but losing the tiebreaker) for the NFC East title. Our Pro Bowlers will be: Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Sean Taylor, Marcus Washington and perhaps Chris Cooley. We will get all the way to the NFC Championship Game where we will fall to the favored Carolina Panthers, 31-17. Tasting another Super Bowl will make Washingtonians salivate more than a Freudian dog in heat, but we'll come up short due to Mark Brunell's injury and Jason Campbell's inexperience.

They say you gotta go out on a limb in this business, if only to make a name for yourself. These predictions can, and most likely will, change before the season but one thing will stay the same: the Washington Redskins are back. The days of the Iggles and Cowgirls ruling the division are long over, and this sports writer and lifelong fan couldn't be happier about it. IN JOE GIBBS WE TRUST

Clinton Portis as a Pro-Bowler.... somehow, I don't think that's gonna happen.
