Contrary to Robs beliefs, the Washington Redskins and quarterback Donovan McNabb have agreed to a five-year, $78 million extension, his agent told The Associated Press.
$40M is guaranteed. I imagine he will be here for the next 3 years.
I like the signing.

CEAFOD
So I had a comfortable lead in my game with Deepie until Brady had his monster game last night and got 38 points. I now find myself 12 points down but Deepie doesn't have any more guys and I have the Philly defense and Santana Moss playing tonight. Between them, I need 13 points. I got to get 13 points out of these guys.
Should that happen, I will find myself a half game behind Deepie and potentially 1 game back from Scott who is 5 points down in his game but has Jeremy Maclin playing tonight.
The game tonight now has even further excitement tied to it. That said, I would be willing to have the Eagles defense give up a ton of points and lose the CEAFOD game if it meant that the Skins won.

Favre's shoulder hurts
Brett Favre said that he now has pain in his right shoulder that could be related to surgery he had to repair a partially torn biceps tendon following the 2008 season.
Favre said it could be a similar injury or the rotator cuff -- shaved during the previous surgery -- could be damaged.
Favre said he would contact Dr. James Andrews, who performed surgery to repair the partially torn biceps tendon in '08, and expects he will be asked to submit to an MRI. Favre discussed the pain with Vikings doctors but they have not been involved in his recovery from that injury and lack familiarity.
It's funny how his pain seems to directly coincide with a loss in which he plays poorly.

JMU beats W&M
W&M was the #1 team in the country but JMU was able to salvage their season with a good win against them. Final score was 30-24.
W&M apparently couldn't stop our running game as DudSUCK only had one pass attempt the entire game (of course it was incomplete).
I had said that our offense had become largely one dimensional over the recent weeks but we were able to manage with our running game.
Again, good win to help salvage a disappointing season.

Skins vs. Eagles preview
Eagles come to town for a big Monday night game. It’s a critical game for a number of reasons many of which we already know (divisional game, Eagles are one game up on the Skins, McNabb facing his old team, first game coming off of the McNabb benching controversy, MNF and a national audience). Keys to the game are as follows:
1. Stop Vick. We knocked him out early in the game the first go around but we were able to contain him while he was in there. We need to do a similar job this time around. I imagine Landry will be shadowing him and will have to key on him.
2. Stop LeSean McCoy. We hurt him too in the first game but he definitely hurt us while he was in the game.
3. Stop the Eagle WRs. I know these are all obvious things but I will still bring them up. Do NOT let Jackson get behind our DBs. The WRs were a virtual non factor in the first game but I don’t expect that to be the case this go around. We really need to keep these guys in front of us and not give up the big play.
4. Stop the Eagle pass rush. Our line has been suspect and there is no question the Eagles defense will be attacking. We need to most definitely watch that double A gap blitz. The RB will have to pick that up and help out. McNabb needs to recognize this at the line and make any necessary adjustments to counter that.
5. Ride the love Torain. Torain should be back and we need to get that running game going. He had a good game the first time around and has been solid while he has been given the opportunity to start so he needs to continue that strong running game. Looks like CP will not play as he suffered a little set back this week in practice and not sure he is game ready.
6. Get Cooley involved. He presents mismatches and we need to utilize him more. The same could be said for Fred Davis. Would love to see two TE sets for blocking purposes and then mix in passes to these guys as they release for a route.
7. McNabb needs to shine. We all know about the benching and it has created quite the story but as I thought, it does seem to have blown over as best as possible. McNabb has been honest in that he was upset about the benching but that he has cleared the air with Shanny. McNabb said yesterday that he has a friendship with Kyle. Shanny yesterday pretty much admitted he was wrong without actually admitting he was wrong in his decision. Bottom line, it seems that there is no question that McNabb is the starter and that there is no controversy and everyone is ready to move forward. That said, there is also no question that that “controversy” will be a big story on MNF leading up to the game. It would be outstanding if he came out and had a big game to silence everyone and again stick it to his former team.
My prediction is that we are coming off of a much needed bye week. The crowd has been a factor in all of our home games and I expect that to continue. I think most everyone will be rooting for McNabb and he will feed off of that. I expect him to have a good game and I expect the coaches to put him in a position to be successful. In the end, I think home field advantage will be the difference and the Skins will come out with a 24-16 win.
HAIL SKINS!!!

JMU vs. W&M tomorrow
I would be more excited about this and this game looked like a better matchup earlier in the year but as Dudzik has become DudSUCK, I am less excited about this game.
Still, I will cheer for my Dukes and hope for a win.
GO DUKES!!!!

CHUCK E. CHEESE
Went there last weekend and I won the JACKPOT in one of those games where you have to stop the light on the jackpot. 287 TICKETS, BABY!!!!!
Even better, my son got the jackpot two more times!!!!
The good news is that we got around 500 tickets. The bad news is that amount of tickets can buy you either a crazy straw or an eraser.
Chuck E. Cheese should change his name to Chuck E. Cheap.
