Redskins Win at New Orleans  

  So, I have a small confession.  I didn’t get to watch any of the game on Sunday.  There was an engagement party.  I blame the groom.  While I know this is blasphemous, it was generally unavoidable in a happy girlfriend equals happy life kind of way.  Most readers will side with the bewildered authors [...]
