NFL Notes

So, as I mentioned below I spent the weekend in Washington hanging out with friends from grad school.

That was followed by what was likely the second-best football game I have ever been to in my life: the

Redskins 36-30, overtime victory over the Jags,

which Santa Moss

put on a clinic.

(For the record, the best game I've ever been at was Wisconsin over Michigan

in 2005.

I've always been critical of Skins fans at FedEx as among the quietest of any place I've ever been but that was not the case yesterday. IT WAS LOUD and it exploded when Moss took it to the house in OT.

The energy afterward was amazing, much of the crowd sang "hail to the redskins" all the way out of the stadium.

In other action, the

Chargers blew their lead to the Ravens

putting my friend Mark in the early lead in our friendly wager as to which of the two teams will win the most games this year.
