21 silenced the crowd with a monsterous hit.

Todd Yoder steamrolls Dawkins and puts him out of the game after ESPN pumped Dawkins up to hero proportions in the pre-game coverage.

Washington's last touchdown was off tackle behind Samuels.

The next morning Doc Walker talks about how much he likes the "Wolverine" but that if ESPN wants to do an expose, do it on Caveman Sellers "because he didn't have to be carried off of the field".

Classic!

Nice. That was definitely an awesome game. My beer almost came out of my nose when Kornheiser made the "except Joe Gibbs is real" comment.

Speaking of safeties, man I miss Sean Taylor.

The Drafthouse was pretty quiet when Kornheiser did the opening. When he said that I screamed out, "That's right!" I couldn't help it.

Selfishly, it is so unfair to have your most talented player taken from you in such a senseless fashion. Part of me is glad that he was all ours while he played.
