Tommie Harris released
The guy has underachieved the last couple of years and his performance and production has dramatically decreased over the years. That said, would love for the Skins to bring him in and sign him. Don't overspend but the guy will only be 28 going into this season. He has been a Pro Bowl player and I can only assume if the guy has any heart, he would want to show that the Pears disrespected him by releasing him. He could certainly improve our D line.
CP released
In a not so surprising move, running back Clinton Portis has been released by the Washington Redskins, the team announced Monday.
Portis is just 77 yards shy of 10,000 career rushing yards and 648 shy of Hall of Famer John Riggins' Redskins franchise record.
Too bad because despite the antics, I was largely a CP fan. Despite his wear and tear, at 29, he is still a serviceable back. He is still one of the best blocking backs in the game and can still be a solid running back. However, he is not a featured back anymore and certainly isn't worth the $8+ million he would have been due next year.
Hopefully he lands some place where he can be productive and get is career back on track after two injury plagued seasons. Maybe he will see success similar to what LT saw this past year. If nothing else, he should certainly be able to reach the 10,000 yard mark easily and go on to be one of the top rushing yard backs of all time.

What is wrong with Charlie Sheen
The guy is nuts. He's recently been in the news for drugs, violence, partying with porn stars, etc. but apparently he has cleaned himself up. However, he launched into another tirade and berated his sitcom's producers spurring CBS to suspend his show until things settle down.
Sheen isn't backing down and recently said, "I'm tired of pretending I'm not special," Sheen told NBC. "I'm tired of pretending I'm not bitching a total freaking rock star from Mars. And people can't figure me out. They can't process me. I don't expect them to. You can't process me with a normal brain."
He later said he has "tiger blood and Adonis DNA."
Weird. Maybe the guy is suffering from some post traumatic stress disorder from his days in Platoon.

More problems for Fat Albert
This is a little bit older news but wanted to get it posted up.
D.C. police are investigating an allegation that Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth sexually assaulted a waitress in a D.C. hotel.
Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, confirmed that his client was the subject of the complaint but denied the 29-year-old defensive tackle is guilty of any wrongdoing.
According to the police report, a waitress at the W Hotel stated that her hands were full as she cleared a table Haynesworth was sitting at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
The report said Haynesworth, identified as Subject 1, tried to give the waitress his credit card and asked if he could place it in her blouse. The waitress nodded, and Haynesworth placed the card into her blouse and began caressing her breast, the report says.
While Haynesworth is not named in the report, the police department source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Subject 1 referred to the Redskins lineman. The report, which was filed at 5:15 a.m. Sunday, describes the suspect as a "heavy/fat/stocky" black male with a goatee, and about 6 feet 6 or 6 feet 7.
Charges have yet to be filed, as the investigation is ongoing, police said. The allegation was first reported Monday by WRC Channel 4.
The accusation is the latest negative development for Haynesworth, whom the Redskins suspended without pay for the final four games of the season in December, citing conduct detrimental to the team.
On Saturday, he was formally charged with assault in connection with an alleged road rage incident that took place on the Fairfax County Parkway in Reston on Feb. 2. A driver accused Haynesworth of hitting him while he was sitting in his car. Haynesworth was scheduled to appear in court on March 31.
Fat Al sucks, man.

State of the Caps
With 25 regular season games remaining, the Caps find themselves 5 points out of SE Divisional leading Tampa Bay and the number 6 seed in the playoffs which would match them up with Boston in the first round.
The Caps defense and Penalty Kill has been much better this season as compared to last year. However, their PP and offensive scoring has been WAY down compared to last year. We all know what happened in the playoffs last year and everyone talked last year that we weren't built for the playoffs and defense wins championships and all that so while I haven't been thrilled with the Caps play this season, I have largely held off on my judgements and will reserve them come playoff time.
Honestly, it doesn't matter what this team does in the regular season. This team will be judged by what they do in the playoffs. Still, we have got to get the PP going and have got to get some more scoring. I'm all for strong defense but if we don't score goals, we can't win games.
I remember last year there were times we were 3 goals down but we had the fire power to just turn it on and we were able to come back. That feeling is not there this year. I'm fine with that. As long as the coaches and players are good with it, I'm good. Again, the test will be when the playoffs start.

Santana Moss to become a FA
The guy is 31 years old and coming off of a solid year. I like Moss but he really isn't a true #1 WR. He also drops a lot of passes and then just taps his chest as if to say, "my bad." I'd like to keep him but would not want to spend the kind of money that he is probably looking for.
Good luck, SanTANA!

Brett Favre who?
Perfect ending for a perfectly horrible year for Brett Favre. The guy sucked this year. His team sucked. Strong allegations of personal misconduct came out against him. He got battered and bruised (leg, arm, head). His sister was busted at a drug house. Then to top it off his former team wins the Super Bowl.
The interesting thing is that Rodgers has become one of the best QBs in the league. People forget that when he took over after Favre left, GB fans were booing him. The guy has handled himself with professionalism and class and on top of it has performed unbelievably.
It’s also interesting because again, if Favre had just left when he originally retired, he would still be loved in GB. He will always be one of the best players to have played the game. There is no disputing that. However, he is not nearly as loved in GB country as he used to be. He could have been legendary there. Instead, it’s like Brent Who? It has become Aaron Rodgers team and he is the guy loved. Again, not just for his play but for his class.
