Contrary to popular belief, the Washington Redskins are not driving down a different road in 2010. They're driving down the same Dan Snyder highway they've always driven down -- they're just in a faster, fancier car. At least this time, Snyder's puppet, Vinny Cerrato, isn't behind the wheel. But once again, the Skins enter a season with a new high-profile head coach.

This feels like a trap. We're all being lured into making the Dallas Cowboys our Super Bowl pick for 2010. After all, the Cowboys are arguably the most talented team in the NFC. And they've finally ended their playoff drought, having defeated Philadelphia for their first postseason victory since 1996. Last season was also the first time since ’96 that the Cowboys posted a winning record in December/January, seemingly dispelling the notion that Tony Romo – who finished the year with a 97.6 passer rating – can’t perform under pressure and that Wade Phillips can’t get [...] Continue reading →
