John Mackey, former Colts great, honored by NFLPA

John Mackey -- the former Baltimore Colts legend -- was one of the pioneer African-American athletes of the 1960s who fought for change at a time when change was often costly for those who sought it. Published November 15, 2016

Kirk Cousins fights for Redskins against Vikings with emotions and skill in victory

In a very un-Kirk-like moment, Cousins sprinted about 50 yards down the field to do battle with the back judge. He jumped up and down and grabbed his helmet in disbelief as he pleaded his case, even though it appeared that Grant had simply slipped. In a way, it was a "You like that" moment for Cousins.

Josh Norman definitely has the refs’ attention now

If things turn south, you have the feeling that the Redskins sideline will turn into a Jerry Springer set, complete with a lot of mind-speaking and Twittering and finger pointing. Published November 1, 2016

No winners in Redskins’ bid to out-stupid the Bengals

The fans in London got their money's worth in quantity. In quality, what they got was two remarkably stupid football teams, with one trying to outdo their other with self-inflicted wounds. Published October 30, 2016

In this photo taken Oct. 9, 2016, Washington Redskins' tight end Jordan Reed (86) tries to get past Baltimore Ravens' Lardarius Webb (21) during the first half of an NFL football game in Baltimore. Reed is being evaluated for a concussion, coach Jay Gruden says. Gruden says Reed reported symptoms Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2016, and was in the process of being checked out. Reed did not practice Wednesday. (AP Photo/Nick Wass)

Jordan Reed and the NFL’s ineffective concussion protocol

Even with the league's much-ballyhooed 'concussion protocols,' the NFL can't seem to keep injured players like Jordan Reed off the field -- which raises even more troubling questions about how similar injuries were handled 10, 20 and 30 years ago. Published October 20, 2016

Jose Lobaton wakes up Nationals from NLDS slumber

The game had the feel of a Washington surrender, facing a 2-0 deficit in the best-of-five series, heading out to Los Angeles for Game 3 Monday. There was one difference, though. Jose Lobaton was playing in this game. Published October 9, 2016
