Washington Redskins trail of tears

“Loud mouths

December 19, 2010 

Has Mike Shanahan not seen Rex Grossman play? I know Donovan McNabb is struggling, but Rex Grossman? Really?

Based on recent history, this benching can only mean one thing: Another contract extension for McNabb.

Did anyone hear Shanahan go into Lovie Smith mode and say "Rex is our quarterback" recently?

Leaders and Legends? That's the best the Big Ten could do?

They wanted to attach names of real Big Ten legends to the divisions (Bo Schembechler or Woody Hayes), but the meathead fans at some schools protested because they wanted their "legends" recognized. That's why each team is represented in the long list of new Big Ten postseason awards.

That new Big Ten logo is equally as bad. Though it was pointed out that the "G" could easily be converted to form an imbedded "6" when four more schools inevitably join the league.

Why does the Big Ten feel it necessary to always imbed a number into its logo?

So Kerry Wood supposedly turned down more money and multiple years from the Yankees (27 World Series titles) and the White Sox (2005 World Series title) for a one-year, $1.5-million deal from the Cubs (no titles in 102 years) because he wants to be a Cub? Yeah, that makes sense.

Maybe he wants to be the next Ron Santo.

OK, but even Santo played one year for the White Sox.

You mean Wood wants to end his career as a beloved Cubs player who never helped the team win a title, then moves up to the radio booth to contribute nothing to broadcasts except, "Oh no!"

Quick, name a beloved Cubs player who has won a title.

OK ... how about Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers and Frank Chance? Long since dead, but beloved nonetheless.

I'd say SIU Edwardsville had about as bad a start as you can imagine after trailing Indiana 24-0 on Friday.

OK IU, we get it, you can now beat up on bad teams. Now, can we actually see you beat a quality team?

I'm sure that nonconference schedule will start getting tough again with some quality players on the way.”"
