Hot Or Not?
This week marked a bizarre turn of events in my own cerebral world. Not only have I managed to get smacked in the rear or thigh by the gates in the metro station not once, not twice, but 3 X (I dearly miss the days of turnstiles and friendlier exiting), but I now have developed [...]
Dan’s Favorite Films: The Insider & Rear Window
I can’t help but be a bit reminiscent of a time when political motivations didn’t exist in every form of information. I have a great deal of trouble understanding if this time has ever existed or if I was just far too insulated, as a child/teenager, from the realities of the world. I come [...]
Mark’s 2004-05 NFL Preview - Part 8: The NFC East, The Playoffs & More!
The NFC East
The Big Story
Some guy in Washington is in the news. I think it’s John Kerry. No? It’s George W. Bush? No? It’s Bob Packwood trying to order lunch at Hooters? Nope, that’s just not it. Of course [...]

The AFC East
The Big Story
As former Musings contributor would say, “Smoke Ricky Smoke!†Blame it on the failed drug test. Blame it on dissatisfaction with the state of the team. Blame it on him just being SAD. It doesn’t matter how [...]

The NFC South
The Big Story
It’s Michael Vick. Of course it’s Michael Vick. What else could it be? The league’s most dynamic player missed most of the season last year after suffering from the Madden Jinx and a broken leg in August against the [...]
Me And The Bean: Heroes
The world turns to sports for the summer. Between the Tour de France and the Olympics, we get a solid month’s worth of sporting events you can discuss with your cab driver, no matter what his first language is. But is it worth it this year? I don’t feel a great coming [...]

The AFC South
The Big Story
It’s the dismantling of the Tennessee Titans. Jevon Kearse is gone. Eddie George is gone. Derrick Mason is still there but Justin McCaerins has been traded. Those Titan teams of the past couple of years no longer [...]
Dan’s Favorite Films: Take The Money & Go To Washington
I’ve always found that expectations tend to control our view of a given situation (i.e. performance, movie, work of literature, etc.). I saw two movies over the course of the past week. The Village was a movie that I had no definite plans to see in advance. I went into this film [...]

The NFC North
The Big Story
The last hurrah of Brett Favre. The comic genius of Something About Mary fame has basically said that it is Superbowl or bust this year. Favre lost out last year on a miracle 4th and 23 against Philly [...]
Bite Me I’m Morbid & Depraved
I’m concerned that my move to DC has only served to hasten the inevitable spiritual degeneration I’ve been undergoing since my departure from college. While I try to maintain that effervescent, vivacious appeal through hard work and exercise (and quite a bit of both producing little of the desired effect), my default is to resort [...]
