All is well in our nations capital this week. Maryland upsets Cal, The Redskins get a big win over the Saints, and oh yeah, Georgetown Prep shut out Gonzaga 42-0. Lets get it crackin’.
Redskins Rebound: The Washington Redskins rebounded in a big way on Sunday defeating the New Orleans Saints in front of a home crowd of 90,000 plus. Facing harsh criticism from fans and media alike, Jason Campbell, Jim Zorn, and the Redskins offense took a big step forward in proving that the West Coast Offense can function in our nations capital. Campbell finished the day 24/36 for 321 yards and 1 touchdown, a 67 yard cannon shot to reciever Santana Moss. Campbell completed passes to 9 different receivers but Moss appeared to be his favorite target. Hopefully they can become the next big QB-WR connection in the NFL.
ESPN.com Update: Redskins move from 23 to 19 in the power rankings while the Saints go from 4 down to 12. How the hell were the Saints ever at 4? I thought you had to play defense to be in the top 5? Redskins should have been around 15 this week.

Monday’s are lame. Whatever your occupation Monday usually signifies the start of you actually being productive again. To offset this lameness I have decided to add another weekly section to the DC Sports Pulse. Every Monday I plan on doing a week in review of all things sports focusing on top national stories while adding a little local flavor. This way you can check up on your sports news while you herb it up at work. So here it is, short and sweet:
Usain Bolt Breaks World Record in 100m.
Usain Bolt set a world record time of 9.69 in the 100 meter dash after skipping breakfast and scarfing down some chicken nuggets. Bolt was so far ahead in the final 20 meters that he threw his arms out in celebration. I used to find it absolutely hilarious when I would see athletes consuming a Big Mac on McDonald’s commercials, as if fastfood was going to turn young kids into world class athletes. No more. In fact, I plan on going to a strictly nugget diet for the next month. Who needs steroids when you’ve got chicken nuggets?!
