Thanx for all support and I'm glad we got that gorilla off our back with the 1st win of the season. The cardiac cats are back! On 1:05 PM Oct 12th 2009 from Echofon

Ok I know the rule, any given Sunday, these are all professional football teams, etc.,etc.,etc….

Seriously though, it’s the Redskins let’s not start saying the Panthers are back. This is like beating to local deaf school.

Speaking of the Redskins here is a look at the opponents record coming into a game against Washington:

Week 1: vs. 0-0 Giants.
Week 2: vs. 0-1 Rams.
Week 3: vs. 0-2 Lions.
Week 4: vs. 0-3 Bucs.
Week 5: vs. 0-3 Panthers.
Week 6: vs. 0-5 Chiefs.

hey everyone, i've been taking a short twitter break. I couldn't think of anything interesting to say but now i can On 1:13 PM Oct 1st 2009 from web

A twitter break? Do athletes really do this? I thought they were all addicted.

Ok I guess I can understand this, probably after the fiasco that ensued after her sister’s foot fault. Take a little break from the media and let things settle down. I am sure her next tweet will be about her career, the next match, maybe addressing that incident. Something has to be incredibly relevant to bring her back to the world of twitter after a long silence. The fans must know!!

I want to download this movie Night at the Roxbury but they don't have it on itunes. Dang they don't have Footloose either, lol On 1:18 PM Oct 1st 2009 from web

That’s it?

That is what brought you back to twitter and your fans?

Night at the fucking Roxbury?? On iTunes???

If I had to watch a movie on an iPod I would stab myself in the eye. You are rich as hell and watching stuff on a 3 inch screen??

I have never seen Night at the Roxbury, this is because I like to see enjoyable movies. Who am I to criticize someone who likes to watch horrible movies to punish themselves?

If you haven’t heard the story of Stafon Johnson by now you are behind the times. If you ever lifted weights this story will hit home. Stafon was listing 275 pounds when the bar slipped out of hand and landed on his throat.

His throat.
