It’s tough love, but the Washington Redskins should place Chris Cooley and Clinton Portis on injured reserve.

I don’t often second-guess calls, but Washington Redskins coach Jim Zorn is making it easy. Not taking a shot at the end zone on third down with 15 seconds remaining? Shows he has no confidence in the offense.
My Washington Examiner column says Zorn missed a chance to save his job. Now ...

This must have been the most low key Redskins-Cowboys game since the ’60s. Plenty of lip service, but nobody is really up for this one in the public or playing field.
My Washington Examiner column says it’s just another game. Wow, things sure have changed.

It looked really grim, but Redskins fans came through with a late push for the Quarterback Club’s Player of the Year dinner on Dec. 15 to survive. It was close, though.

The Redskins offense is using more reserves than the banks. Ladell Betts is just part of the surge of second teamers that includes Fred Davis, Riock Cartwright and select offensive linemen.

Mike Shanahan may not have wanted the Redskins, but owner Dan Snyder may be looking at the former Denver coach once more now that Jon Gruden is staying with ESPN.

The end of the Redskins tradmark case? Not yet
The morning of the Redskins’ Super Bowl in Minneapolis, I covered a Native American demonstration prompted by a lawsuit challenging the team’s name as racist.
That was almost 18 years ago. The case finally ended today when the U.S. Supreme ...

You wonder where this kind of effort lay hidden for the season’s first half. But, finally, the Redskins beat Denver 27-17 in a solid, straight up fashion.
My Washington Examiner column details how one win can turnaround a season. It sure lessened the death grip on the franchise.

Washington Redskins coach Jerry Gray says the Redskins could finish big, still make the playoffs.
Sure, and my hair will come back, too.
My Washington Examiner column talks of past Redskins second-half rallies, but nothing like this.

Maybe you’re heard the news that the Washington Times is in turmoil. Lot of management shakeup, including top editor Jon Solomon out.
I worked 20 years at the Times before moving to the Examiner in 2005. I’m thankful for both papers. The Times gave a young reporter a chance and ...

The Washington Nationals are lucky at one thing – picking the right managers.
Interim manager Jim Riggleman was named the permanent boss. It’s a great baseball. Not only is he a good baseball man, but also a local from Rockville who talks to growing up watching the team. That tie to the old ...

I’ve heard from dozens of fans in recent months who have stopped going to games. Real die-hards who I thought would be the last to go.
My Washington Examiner column details two of them. Why they’re no longer going and what it will take to get them back.
