Redskins Fans Hang With Hogs at Burger King

Residents of MD, WV, VA and D.C. can play Hang with the Hogs at Burger King. Buy a Value meal or drink by 10/13/2008 and you get a game piece. "Go Large or Go King" and double your chance of winning. I'm pretty sure this is the BK version of supersize me: go large or go king? Anyone know anything about that?

To request three (3) free Game Pieces by mail, send a hand-printed, self-addressed, postage stamped #10 envelope to: "Hang with the Hogs" Game Card Request, P.O. Box 1267, Elmhurst, IL, 60126-1267, postmarked by 10/13/08 & received by 10/20/08.

In case you didn't know that the Redskins offensive line is a bunch of Hogs, here's a bit of history: It all started at the Redskins 1982 training camp. Joe Bugel was working with his line, a 'chunky' bunch, and wanting them to hit the blocking sheds, he said, "Okay, you Hogs, let's get running down there."

Redskins AT Eagles 1pm Sunday 10/5

Santana Moss likes the taste in his mouth

Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss says, about success, "You don't ever wanna have another taste in your mouth but that taste. So, hopefully, we can keep that taste going."

Yes I'm watching SportsCenter. What else am I going to do now that baseball season is over? Just kidding. Brewers! Brewers! Let's get sausage races on the national stage.

Anyway, back to Mr. Moss. Success, the anti-halitosis. Actually, maybe that's not fair. Maybe success tastes good but smells bad, like garlic. Hmm. Thoughts?

NFL Season Openers

It's April Fool's Day which means I'm going to talk about football during baseball season. The NFL season kicks off September 4th when the Giants host the Redskins. That's 7pm. September 7th is Colts v Bears. And September 8th - Monday Night Football - will be Vikings v Packers then Broncos v Raiders.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programing...baseball...Yankees try again to have Opening Day.
