Still waiting, with anxious hope, for photos of last weekend's joint Clinton Portis/Jason Taylor birthday party to appear, but in the meantime, there were more missed birthday parties during the China weeks. Like, for example, Andray Blatche's 22nd. Which was to be expected, because the one thing Andray Blatche really needed to finally elevate his game to the next level was photos of himself ...

... There's so danged many of them. Meanwhile, the NBA guys are going to get to town and be an exclusive club. OKC is doing all right, but that doesn't mean we've got a glut of 22-year-old millionaires roaming the streets. We've got to protect these striplings.

This was just like my 22nd birthday party: "Which was to be expected, because the one thing Andray Blatche really needed to finally elevate his game to the next level was photos of himself with extensive letter "A" bling and a tank top, hosting a birthday party whose guests reportedly included Gilbert Arenas, Michael Beasley, Kevin Durant, Big Tigger, Redskins rookie receiver Devin Thomas and model Gloria Velez.

Running Backs
mvn.com 9/3/2008 — Though the Redskins are deep at RB, this was not a great running team last year. Part of this goes to the loss of Jansen and Thomas on the line, and part goes to the non-camp Portis went through last year, and the fact that, by his own admission, he ...
Opening Nightmare; Skins Run Over by Giants 16-7 —
Redskins Gab
For the new look Redskins, at least the first 29 minutes of opening night vs the Giants was about as bad as it gets. The team opened up the 2008 season with a lackluster 16-7 loss at the Meadowlands to their NFC East rival, and they were beaten up rather soundly by a defense that took some heavy shots on Jim Zorn’s new look offense.
The Skins managed just 209 yards, 11 first ...

Via SET Magazine.

Fantasy Phenoms
From Mini Camp, to Training Camp, to Preseason, all the way up to Week 1, draft boards are all about adjustments. Barring injury, it’s highly unlikely that there will be much change at the top, unless you consider a swap of the 8 and 9 picks (say, Clinton Portis and Marion Barber) as a significant change. But when you peer down any given draft board, you’ll notice that most of the ...
