The Lesser of Two Evils

Much has been made (and will continue to be made) of Redskins' safety Sean Taylor's off the field troubles. While I'm not here to argue that Taylor isn't batshit crazy, I do wish that people would remember one thing about him. He is not, nor will he ever be, Kellen Winslow Jr., the player the Skins' very nearly picked in 2004.

My inevitable decline

I've been doing this blog for nearly two months now and, so far, have managed to avoid a single entry relating to the Redskins. Today, the streak ends with my noting of the fact that Sean Taylor worked out a plea agreement with Miami-Dade prosecutors. He won't see any jail time which means he won't miss any playing time. Which can only be a good thing.

It never ceases to amaze me how when an athlete from another team gets the professional athlete special treatment in the courts I get really upset, but when it's a Redskin I find myself shouting "He's innocent!" from the rooftops. Fickle, I know. Sorry.
