the HOUSE always wins

Some divers have an obsession with squeezing the most out of every experience, like using up every last boat dive in your hotel package or aiming to reach the remotest spots possible. That’s one way to travel. Here’s another: Take your time and explore the house reef—the one that just steps away from the resort’s dive center and staff, and your room.

TRAINING CAMP PREVIEW: DEFENSE & SPECIAL TEAMS

Late last year while the Raiders were trying to salvage what they could from the season, defensive coordinator Paul Guenther admitted he hadn’t been able to coach like he had been accustomed to.

Raiders still shopping

The Raiders had no problem doling out big contracts to Cory Littleton, Carl Nassib and Nick Kwiatkoski. Jon Gruden apparently isn’t finished shopping just yet.

Young's value is widespread

The impact Chase Young is expected to make is enormous, but it might be hard to quantify in statistical value.

Stand and Deliver

Dwayne Haskins sometimes looked more like a film maker than a quarterback over the off season. He wanted fans to see how hard he was working so a constant Twitter stream of flicks showed the second-year passer hitting deep balls to someone running in a park.

NO PRESSURE, NO DIAMOND - Redskins fans today, tomorrow, forever

There will be much to miss about the death of the Redskins name. You will be reminded of it every time you put a Sonny Jurgensen, John Riggins or Sean Taylor jersey on.

Hail to the . . .

Farewell to Boss Hog

Joe Bugel was yelling at the team in the gravelly voice, sparing them no mercy or curse words. The offensive line coach wanted hard work as the linemen hit the blocking sled and wanted it now.

5 reasons to hope

Every year, Washington Redskins fans feel things have to get better. After all, what’s worse than a 3-13 season where the defense allowed 31 points or more in half the games, prime time blowouts were common and the stands were filled with opposing fans? When the Detroit Lions outdraw locals at FedEx Field, it’s time to re-evaluate.
