Skins the worst-run franchise in sports? - NFC East - ESPN
The Skins are an organization on the brink, and who knows what will happen next. There have been reports this week that former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan was offered the head-coaching position, but he declined because he didn't feel like the current situation was conducive to turning the team around.

Owens' star has drastically fallen in Buffalo - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
"He’s hit the wall," the AFC executive said. "I think he has. I think it’s done or close to it. He’ll have a couple of games here and there where he shows up, but big picture, long term, I think it’s done." That was an opinion echoed by multiple front-office executives contacted by Yahoo! Sports this week

NFC East Underachiever: Albert Haynesworth - NFC East - ESPN
Unfortunately, there are plenty of candidates in what was once (three weeks ago) regarded as the top division in the league. But Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth receives the dubious distinction based on the insane amount of money he's receiving. For $41 million guaranteed, I think you'd like to see him make more of a difference.

The Rams' perspective on the Witherspoon trade - NFC East - ESPN
I don't think you'll find anyone in St. Louis who will speak poorly of new Eagles linebacker Will Witherspoon, but the folks who cover the Rams for a living seem generally pleased with Tuesday's trade for wide receiver Brandon Gibson and a fifth-round pick in 2010.

I actually was purposely screaming like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas after his hit...

That’s freaking hilarious that obviously someone else out there was probably doing the same thing.

On a related note...

Goodfellas is probably my favorite move of all-time, and I made what I think is my 2nd best purchase ever (after my iPhone). The real Henry Hill is now an old, sad-sack of a man, and he actually draws scenes from the movie Goodfellas that look like they were done by a 4-year-old. With the original painting you also get a certificate of authenticity and a picture of the real Henry Hill himslef standing next to your painting. But that probably has to cost a lot, right? Nope. $30. Here’s one similar to the one I have…

I think this is our year!!

Man it is soooo embarrassing that We were knocked out of four NFC Championship games including the worst franchise in the history of the NFL last year,but. this is the year that we take one more step from being the doormat of the NFC east. I mean we will make the playoff, right? The G-men are way better than us, and The Pack, Bears, 49ers, Falcons, New Orleans will probably take the wild cards, but…. Crap we are still going to be the NFC Beast crapper. McNabb is old, and we have a dog killer in line…. Dark Days for us… Maybe we should move to LA and join the west…..
