Actually, the Redskins went 10-6 and won a playoff game, so they didn't suck. But I'll give you "Things About the Redskins That Suck"

1. The racist team nickname and logo
2. The jerking around of Patrick Ramsey and LaVar Arrington
3. The anemic offense and the ineptitude of Taylor Jacobs
4. Asshole owner, Daniel M. Snyder
5. Making the marching band tromp around in 30+ year old uniforms

Quarterbacks:

1. John Elway
2. Mark Rypien
3. Doug Williams
4. Michael Vick (in college)

Further to the first on the previous list, top five things the Redskins could do to improve next year.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

1. Draft a pass rushing defensive end
2. dump Taylor Jacobs and add at least one starting quality reciever
3. Trade Patrick Ramsey, preferrably turning that into offensive line or secondary depth
4. Upgrade punter and kicker
5. Start playing Jason Campbell. A healthy Mark Brunell is a credible quarterback, but I would be very surprised if Brunell were healthy and effective come January 2007.

I didn't watch the game against the Seahawks, but was the line play (on either offense or defense) one of the problems? And I've always been surprised that successive coaches have stuck with Ramsey, since he's never shown much promise. Of course, I thought the same thing about Hasselbeck, so what do I know.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Line play wasn't much of a problem - but the O-line's first backup was a 43-year-old who has since retired. They need at least one or two guys who can be ready to play and won't be awful - as the 7th lineman was this year.

And on defense, they've generally not gotten good pressure from their down linemen. A quality pass rushing end will reduce the amount of times they have to blitz and make life easier for the D.

As to Ramsey - nobody ever stuck with him. Basically, that was always the thing in DC. That he seemed like a good kid, who was always under pressure, and didn't really get much of a shot. Nobody here was happy with how Gibbs treated him... I.E. if you aren't going to play him, and you aren't even interested in coaching him, then trade him while he has some value.

As opposed to Taylor Jacobs who had a chance and stunk.

Top 5 college football rivalries

Top 5 college football games

Top 5 reasons you like college football

3. FSU goes wide right against Miami (1991)

Top five weapons, ancient and modern.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

1. Shuriken
2. Welsh Longbow
3. Model 73 Winchester Rifle
4. Greek Fire
5. the club

Seriously. The Club. Sure, there are more robust weapons systems out there. But if you're going to get violent, there's not much more thrilling than just clubbing the crap out of something.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I'll be interested to see the weapons one. *points up*

5 things that utterly baffle you. Anything -- a book, a movie, a way of doing things, whatever.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Just so you know... I'm working on it...

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Things I don't get:

1. Lost (The TV Show)
2. Harry Potter (which is to say, I read one of the books, I don't get it being a big deal)
3. People who won't say they're sorry "because actions speak louder than words" - Saying you're sorry is an action. An act of humility.
4. American Idol/Survivor. I know people love these shows. I watch them, and I feel nothing.
5. Soccer. Sorry. I know it's the worlds most beloved sport. It does nothing for me.

[ladystarlightsj.livejournal.com]

Heh. I agree with you on #3 and 5. And American Idol.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Oh. And I don't get those "Magic Eye" posters either. I try to see the spaceship, but I never do...

[ladystarlightsj.livejournal.com]

Me either! It's a plot or something, I'm sure.

Five BtVS/AtS crossovers you'd love to see.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

1. Sanford & Gunn
2. Angel/Kojak - set in 1970s NYC
3. BtVS/Scrubs - Xander is JD's very special patient of the week, Willow geeks out with Elliot, and Buffy is repeatedly hit on by The Todd. None of the Scrubs characters ever learn about the supernatural. Except, possibly, Ted or the Janitor.
4. BtVS/Family Ties - Mallory Keaton is mother of a new slayer. Wackiness ensues
5. AtS/Profit

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Kojak! Yes! *laugh* And Family Ties. Now that would be funny!

"Gunn, you dummy!"

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Kojak! Yes!

Who hates yourself, baby!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm just thinking of him offering Angel a lollypop, personally. *SNIRK*

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

If you have enough Kojak knowledge/memories/feel to write it, you would be my hero. There's never any Kojak fic when you need it.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You know I would, Dave, but sadly, my Kojak moments are fleeting at best. The hat, the lolly and that smile are what I remember. :(

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

For me, it's about how awesome Telly Savalas was. We really need to find a someone who can do this...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, looking for a writer who can crossover Kojack and AtS. Hmmmm.
