 Washington Redskins
"2-0 has a nice ring to it, wouldn't you say?" The question was posed to me Tuesday evening at a sports bar in Washington, D.C., and I couldn't help but chuckle inside. While the Redskins' 20-12 defeat of archrival Philadelphia on Monday night was impressive, I had to provide a reply that would bring the happy-go-lucky fan back to reality. ...

Joe, I hate to break it to you, but the Redskins ARE the home team this weekend. And what they are is a Joe Gibbs coached team, so no worries about if this team is who we thought they were. They are the real deal; it's the Cowpies that you should have written this article about. Annointing them the best team in the NFC after beating the G-strings and the Dolphins, is ludicrous.

What planet are you living on? You don't even know who the home team is in this matchup, so how can you be qualified to judge the Redskins? Also, don't call them the sleeping Giant. It's really more like the unconscious Giant. I'm sure you're calling your Vegas bookie and betting on the Giants right now. On Sunday, watch Jason Campbell pick apart the Giant defense, while the Redskins defense will make it a nightmare day for Eli Manning.

I love how even though the Redskins have won their first two games, everyone still thinks they suck because of their record last year. Sure they only beat their first two opponents by a few points, but thats more than the giants or many of the other 0-2 teams have done this year. I mean honestly, this is just an extremely biased story, everything good about the redskins is balanced by a a "but..." and everything bad about the giants is balanced by a "but..." It's pretty stupid, and a pretty bad story.
