Talk about your Saturday night special — there are 11 preseason games for your viewing. This is why you need NFL Preseason Live to keep up with all of the action.

Here is something you never want to get into the habit of doing — recommending Raiders for your fantasy team. This is kind of like telling people to invest in penny stocks. Seems like a too-good-to-be-true proposition, and it typically is.

There will be a couple of themes that I will be hitting on during the push to Kickoff Weekend. First, Chris Cooley will have a monster season for the Redskins. Second, John Harbaugh hates your fantasy team. But most importantly, do not hold your fantasy draft in August.

The Washington Post describes the competition among the Redskins receivers as “intense.” Not quite the adjective that I would be using here.

Find out what I’ll be watching on Friday night when the NFL’s preseason schedule continues with three games.

Chris Cooley said Wednesday that as far the Redskins’ locker room is concerned, the players are all good with the previously disgruntled Albert Haynesworth.

Owen Daniels or Chris Cooley. Not exactly one of the great debates like Ginger or Mary Ann. Coke or Pepsi. Caddyshack or Animal House.

The Seahawks knew that they were going to get a college-like enthusiasm from new coach Pete Carroll. But the organization is getting much more. Carroll installed a blue-white scrimmage, similar to a “spring game” recently, leaving me to wonder if letter sweaters and achievement stickers on the helmet can be far behind.

Davone Bess had a pretty interesting radio interview on Tuesday morning, after witnessing an accident unfold in front of him.

Are we looking at a monster bounce back season for Redskins TE Chris Cooley? New QB Donovan McNabb told reporters (via the Dallas Morning News) that he envisions going to his tight end a lot more this season.

Bears QB Jay Cutler was asked about Terrell Owens possibly joining the Bears during this past weekend’s Fan Expo, and the quarterback did not really take to the idea

The first big day on Radio Row at Super Bowl XLIV has left me grasping for an appropriate analogy to describe the scene. But I’m grasping no more.

To borrow a football term, traversing Radio Row requires a head on a swivel. This is the NFL universe for the next few days, as a quick walk-around proves.

Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan is scheduled to meet with his staff Monday to begin to announce who will stay and who will go beyond the positions that have already been filled.

Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys after missing practice all week because of an ankle injury. He had been listed as questionable.
