Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige, the iconic athlete-philosopher who was probably the greatest baseball pitcher of all time, used to pass around this insightful list of "Rules for Staying Young":
1. "Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood."
2. "If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts."
3. "Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move."
4. "Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society – the social ramble ain't restful."
5. "Avoid running at all times."
6. "And don't look back – something might be gaining on you."
After such a list, the last rule is always where the thoughts reside. In this case, Rule 6 seems vaguely like a line from an old movie or a vaudeville routine, with the playful and significant substitution of the term "something" instead of "someone." (Could it be a monster? A train locomotive? A robot? A pack of wolves? Or some manner of human?)

The Mac Mini is known for its small size, energy efficiency, and good performance. And now it's back and more beefed up than ever without a bigger box. This model has a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and a full 4GB of RAM. It's also got an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card for great picture output. It's the mightiest Mini yet. And it accomplishes all this without actually getting any bigger, and without losing its energy-sipping reputation. Plus, it's still very affordable, being Apple's most inexpensive computer line. You might notice that the model in the picture has no disc drive, though. That's because this particular mini swaps out its superdrive for two 500GB hard disk drives. Why, you ask? Well, because this Mac mini is actually a full-fledged server, complete with Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Server! You wouldn't expect that from such an unassuming computer.
But it's a . . .
Yes, it's a Mac mini. Its guts are the same as the Mac mini many people love in their homes (with the exception of the dual 500GB hard drives instead of a 320GB hard drive and superdrive). But this model, instead of having typical Snow Leopard and iLife, ships with Snow Leopard Server pre-installed. Voilà! The Mac mini is now a full-featured, powerful server. Just like that, your business or group can share files, access a common address book and calendar, IM and video-chat with colleagues across the building, set up or integrate employee mailboxes, host a website, or create internal wikis and blogs, plus so much more! There's no limit or extra fee for the number of users, Mac or PC. And, since it's a Mac, it's easy to use for folks with any level of tech knowledge.
Easy as Apple pie
Apple products are famously easy to use. Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server is no different. That makes it perfect for people new to running a server, or for IT departments that don't have a lot of time. During set-up Server Assistant will walk you through step-by-step. And if you have any questions during the process, just press the "?" icon for more info. Once your server's set up, managing it is just as easy. From the Server Assistant application you can quickly and easily manage users and groups without the need for prior experience running servers. You can also set up all your key services if you haven't done that already. And you even get Server Status Dashboard widgets to monitor essential services with a quick look.
Sharing is . . . profitable
"Sharing is caring," as they say. However, in a business situation, sharing is efficient. Having universal contacts, calendars, and files helps keep everyone organized and on the same page, saving time. And since time is money, well, you get the point. With Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server, sharing is easy. For example, iCal Server 2 makes creating and sending invitations for events and meetings a cinch. You can even use it to invite certain groups on the server or reserve a certain meeting room. Address Book Server lets you quickly and easily find shared contacts on the server. Or, you can modify and add your own contacts. File sharing lets you keep jointly-used files easily accessible to everyone. And finding those files is easy with Spotlight Server, which allows you to easily search the server for the file you're looking for.
Together, we're better
In most businesses, collaboration gives you better results. When people work together, the results are much better than if one person tries to do it all, plain and simple. That's why there are so many great new tools for collaboration included in the Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server. With Wiki Server 2, you can easily create an internal wiki site so that employees can easily view and edit collaborative documents. This feature-rich application not only lets you and everyone in your group view and edit documents, you can leave comments, access and modify project calendars, access the wiki from an iPhone, create or follow project RSS feeds, and search more efficiently than ever before. However, internal wikis are not the only way that Mac OS X Server lets you work with your colleagues. With iChat Server, you can IM or videochat with people on the same server securely. Built to work with other platforms, iChat Server has tons of cool features like persistent chatrooms, file transfers, store and forward, and even iChat theater, which allows you to broadcast presentations to other users. Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server makes it easy to make the most of your group effort.
You'll be happy to know that security is no small deal for Snow Leopard Server. It has a built-in firewall along with numerous other security features, to help keep your entire network safe. But you might think that setting up the appropriate security levels for your business would be incredibly complex without experience setting up servers. Not true. Just like most things Mac, it's incredibly simple to set up the right level of security for your business or group.
And that's just the beginning
Those innovative features are just the beginning of all the great, easy-to-use benefits that the Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server can bring to your business or group. It's the ideal solution for almost any business looking to add a server or expand upon existing servers. And you get it all for under a grand.
And the winner is . . .
Apple makes most parts that go into their computers, from hardware to software. They even make the operating system they use. This offers several benefits including the ability to design smaller computers without sacrificing power, and the ability to make products that "just work." Another benefit of doing most of their building themselves is the ability to design computers with components that work together to maximize energy efficiency. Using their clever engineering, they were able to make the Mac mini the world's most efficient desktop computer while giving it plenty of computing muscle. The new Mac mini retains that crown. How does it accomplish that? Well, everything from the hardware, like the energy-efficient power supply, to the software, which spins down hard drives when not in use is looked at. Apple selects powerful components that won't waste energy. They consider every little detail, from the production, to shipping, to use, to end-of-life measures. And they consider such small details that they even regulate power between keystrokes. All these energy-saving measures help give it ENERGY STAR certification, so you can count on it saving resources and electricity costs. But ENERGY STAR isn't the only certification the Mac mini received. It was also a Gold EPEAT winner, the highest award they give. And EPEAT considers more than just energy usage. They liked measures like smaller shipping boxes. They also liked the absence of many toxins like BFRs, lead, and PVC. And of course, like you, they liked that the aluminum and polycarbonate are both recyclable. It's safe to say the Mac mini is still the world's greenest desktop computer, despite its souped-up power.
Equally unassuming
So, when Apple calls it a Mac mini, the question is, how small is mini? After all, most desktop servers, even smaller ones, are about the size of a purse. How much smaller is the mini? Well, it's a little bigger than a couple CD cases stacked up. No joke — it's only 6.5" squared and 2.0" tall. It really is tiny for a desktop computer, and especially for a full-featured, full-powered server. The mini's little footprint gives you the freedom to place it anywhere within a cord's reach. But however you choose to use it, and wherever you choose to put it, the mini is aptly named.
At ease
If you take a look at the mini, you might immediately be swayed by its sleek appearance. After all, Apple is known for excellence in the visual design of their products. But then you might start to wonder — where are all the connections? After all, you'll want to plug in a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and some other accessories time to time. Well, one look at the Mac mini's back panel will assuage even the biggest worrywart. For your devices, there are five USB 2.0 ports for items like keyboards, mice, external hard drives, monitors, shared printers, and flash drives. There's also a FireWire 800 port as an alternate connection. Gigabit ethernet lets you hook up to a wired network if you elect not to use the built-in wireless support. For optimum networking with your server, you could connect to a Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme. As for the monitor , there are two different ports you can use. The first is a mini-DVI port. The second is a mini-DisplayPort. What's cool is that with the right adapters, you can use two displays with the Mac mini — one displaying up to 1920 x 1200 pixels and the other up to 2560 x 1600, using either extended desktop or mirroring. For sound, it's got a built-in speaker, but if there are people around who might not appreciate your particular tastes in music, there's a headphone output, as well as a mini-pin input for audio. With so many connections, there's no need to worry that the Mac mini won't have a port for your favorite accessories.

A lawyer for Jodi Arias began his closing argument Friday by imploring jurors to take an impartial view of the case and his client — even if they don't like her.
Arias smiled broadly when defense lawyer Kirk Nurmi told the jury: "It's not about whether or not you like Jodi Arias. Nine days out of 10, I don't like Jodi Arias. ... But that doesn't matter."
Arias said she killed Travis Alexander in self-defense, but prosecutors say it was an act of first-degree murder that could bring the death penalty. Arias hopes the jury, at the most, convicts her of second-degree murder, punishable by 10 to 25 years in prison. The jury also has the option of manslaughter, which carries a sentence of seven to 21 years.
Nurmi said the case can be summed up with the words "fear, sex, lies and dirty little secrets."
The trial has become a tabloid and cable TV sensation with its graphic tales of sex and lies and has attracted spectators from around the country who line up as early as 2 a.m. for a chance to score a few open seats in the courtroom.
Arias, 32, is charged with first-degree murder in the June 2008 death of her one-time boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she planned the attack on Travis Alexander after he wanted to end their relationship and prepared for a trip to Mexico with another woman.
Arias initially denied any involvement then later blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said she killed him in self-defense when he attacked her after a day of sex.
Arias wept and looked away from jurors Thursday as prosecutor Juan Martinez concluded his closing arguments by displaying a gruesome photo of Alexander's back, covered in stab wounds, while describing her as a manipulative liar who meticulously planned the savage attack.
He pounded his hand on a table, raising his voice occasionally but largely speaking in an almost whisper-like tone. Martinez said Arias lied from the start and is still lying, and hoped to fool the jury into believing she is the victim.
"That's what she wants you to believe," Martinez said, the photo of Alexander's dead body displayed on a large screen behind him. "But actually, in reality, it's this," he said, motioning toward the autopsy picture.
The images displayed Thursday, one after another, of Alexander's decomposed body covered in stab wounds, of his bruised face with a gunshot wound above the forehead, of the bloody scene of the killing, were too much for Alexander's friends and family members. They sobbed and buried their faces in their hands.
"This is an individual who will stop at nothing, and who will continue to be manipulative and will lie at every turn," Martinez told jurors.
Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the head, and had his throat slit. Arias' palm print was found in blood at the scene, along with nude photos of her and the victim from the day of the killing.
Arias said Alexander grew physically abusive in the months before she killed him, but there was no evidence or testimony during the trial to corroborate her allegations.
The defense has portrayed Alexander as a cheating womanizer who used Arias for sex and abused her physically and emotionally. Prosecutors depicted Arias as an obsessed ex-girlfriend who couldn't come to grips with the ending relationship.
Martinez told jurors that Arias had been stalking Alexander and arrived unannounced on the day she killed him, sneaking into his home at about 4 a.m. The two went to sleep together, then awoke and had sex.
At some point, Martinez said, Arias decided it was time to carry out her murderous plan.
Martinez displayed text messages that Alexander and Arias exchanged about a week before the killing.
"I want you to understand how evil I think you are," Alexander wrote to her.
The key to a first-degree murder conviction lies with intent, and Martinez said repeatedly that Arias planned the killing well in advance.
Arias' grandparents had reported a .25 caliber handgun stolen from their Northern California home about a week before Alexander's death — the same caliber used to shoot him. Arias was staying with them at the time, and the burglary occurred two days after the text messages that indicated Alexander no longer wanted anything to do with her.
Arias said she recalls Alexander attacking her in a fury on the day he died. She said she ran into his closet to retrieve a gun he kept on a shelf and fired in self-defense but has no memory of stabbing him. There has been no evidence presented that Alexander owned a gun, and the weapons used in the killing have never been found. Arias said she disposed of the gun in the desert.
"This is a meticulous approach to premeditation," Martinez told jurors. "This is a meticulous approach to killing."
Nurmi disputed that contention. He asked the jury why she would steal the gun and stage a robbery when she could have just taken a weapon.
Arias' demeanor changed as the day went on. She began unemotionally scribbling notes with a pencil, even flashing a smirk as the prosecutor described her apparently faking an orgasm on a phone sex chat with Alexander that was played for jurors. She gently shook her head on another occasion. But once Martinez got to the photos, Arias was in tears.
"It's like a field of lies that has sprouted up around her as she sat on the witness stand," Martinez said of Arias' 18 days testifying. "Every time she spat something out, another lie."

MYRTLE BEACH — Richard Rublowitz, a Myrtle Beach man charged with being the kingpin of a drug distribution network in two states, was found hanged in his jail cell Thursday at the Florence County Detention Center.
Rublowitz, 57, was pronounced dead on Thursday afternoon.
Florence County Coroner Bubba Matthews said the cause of Rublowitz's death is pending an investigation by the State Law Enforcement Division.
Rublowitz was arrested this week as part of a multistate drug sweep by federal agents that also led to the arrests of six of his family members and three New Jersey residents. All of them have been charged with one felony count each of conspiracy to distribute the pain-killing drug oxycodone.
In addition to Rublowitz and his wife, Mindy, FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency officials arrested the couple's three sons: Matthew "Fat Man" Rublowitz; Justin Rublowitz; and Sean Rublowitz, according to a news release issued Thursday by the U.S. Attorney's office in New Jersey.
Also arrested were Myrtle Beach residents Kristin Jacobs, the 26-year-old girlfriend of Sean Rublowitz, and Jacklyn Rublowitz, the 30-year-old wife of Justin Rublowitz.
Monmouth County, N.J., pharmacist Randy Binder, 59, who allegedly dispensed the oxycodone pills, was arrested Thursday along with Joseph Aversa, 30, of Ventnor, N.J., and Scott Mazzara, 33, of Lanoka Harbor, N.J.
A criminal complaint unsealed Thursday alleges that the Rublowitz family purchased oxycodone and other drugs at New Jersey pharmacies and then shipped the drugs by overnight package carriers to Myrtle Beach for sale in this area. Federal officials said the scheme had been taking place since at least 2009.
Federal agents put a wiretap on Richard Rublowitz's cell phone in May and June and recorded numerous conversations between him and Binder, who worked at the Texas Road Pharmacy in Manalapan, N.J., according to the complaint. Those conversations allegedly show that Binder would illegally dispense oxycodone and other pharmaceutical pills to Richard Rublowitz and other co-conspirators in exchange for cash and other nonmonetary compensation, including hockey playoff tickets.
The conspiracy to distribute oxycodone charge is punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 20 years and a $2 million fine. No trial dates have been set for those charged in the case.

The Redskins led most of the way, but the Cowboys rallied, hitting six field goals to win, 18-16, in a game marred by sloppy play.
Like us to subscribe
ASHBURN - Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall spoke for the first time Wednesday since Monday night's post-game rant regarding defensive coordinator Jim Haslett's play selection on one of the key plays in the game - a 3rd and 21 completion to help move the Dallas Cowboys towards the decisive field goal. On the play, Hall was left in single coverage with Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant, who beat him for the first down.
On Wednesday, Hall backpedaled from his profanity-laced comments from Monday night.
"I might have been a little overzealous," the Pro Bowl cornerback told reporters."You guys know me. [I'm] passionate about football."
Hall said he reviewed the play with head coach Mike Shanahan and Haslett felt that it was he who needed to take responsibility, not the coaching staff.
"There's a couple things in that play that I could have done a lot better," he said. "I take full responsibility for that play."
One of the takeaways from Hall's comments was that it didn't have much effect in the locker room. Hall, one of the more outspoken members of the team, didn't appear to offend any of his teammates.
"DHall is DHall," tight end Chris Cooley said. "Everyone knows that. He says what he says. We take DHall as a leader of this team, a guy that we count on, a guy that plays well. He says what he wants to say. No one in this locker room is going to say anything about it."
The Redskins defensive captain, London Fletcher, echoed Cooley's sentiment.
"I think a lot of times when things happen, there's emotions that come into play," Fletcher said. "Everyone's disappointed we lost. DeAngelo is a very competitive player and person, things happen."
All in all, the feeling around Redskins Park is no harm, no foul.
"No matter what's called, we got to go out and execute it," Hall added. " I might have said a couple of 'F' bombs in between that, but I definitely did say that no matter what's called we got to go out and execute. "
Losing stinks, but losing to Dallas is 100 times worse. This week's edition of Chain Reactions looks at the many angles of disappointment in Big D.
We showed you earlier some comments that DeAngelo Hall made about the play call on that 3rd and 21 that the Cowboys were able to convert on leading to their game-winning field goal. But Hall was also upset with the officials after that play because he was called for a facemask that tacked another 15 yards onto what was already a big play for the Cowboys. CSN Washington has the rest of Hall's rant.
"That was a [bleeping] terrible call," Hall said. "I told the ref he's going to [bleeping] lose his job. I told the ref, 'That might have been the worst call of the game.' He's going to get some demerit points for that call because that wasn't no face-mask."
Hall had to bring Dez Bryant down after he made the catch, and his hand appeared to brush Bryant's facemask. We believe this photo is from that play (not 100% sure), so you can check it out for yourself. It seems like Hall's hand is just palm down on the facemask, without the tugging that generally leads to calls. I don't blame him for being upset, but his big white glove on Bryant's facemask is pretty hard to miss.

Just when we thought that the Redskins had eliminated the drama of years' past, it emerged once again in the previously quiet locker room. So have the Redskins really changed?
Rex Grossman entered the game against the Cowboys in what has become pretty familiar territory. He was being doubted, just like he always is, by the National media and even Redskins fans. Sure, his team was 2-0, but people still weren't comfortable with him as the starter because of his history of inconsistency.
On Monday Night, we saw Rex Grossman for exactly what he is, the good and the bad. Unfortunately for the Redskins, there was more bad than good against the Cowboys. He looked very impressive orchestrating a 76-yard touchdown that culminated in the only touchdown of the game for either side.
But after that, Grossman looked every bit the quarterback that Chicago Bears fans hated during his time there. The final four possessions for the Redskins ended with three punts and the fumble that ended up deciding the game. Turns out he was trying to get the ball to Santana Moss on that play, according to the Associated Press.
"I was trying to make a play. I felt like I could get the ball to Santana (Moss). I obviously couldn't."
But I think the real problem here is with anyone who expects Grossman to be anything that he isn't. As soon as he broke the pocket last night and starting running to the left, you just knew that the play was going to be a disaster. He'll bring some good plays, but he is also going to cost you some games. That's just what the Redskins have under center this year.
The Washington Redskins should have beaten the Dallas Cowboys, but poor play-calling by both coordinators helped prevent it from happening.
The defining play of the Washington Redskins' 18-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football was wide receiver Dez Bryant outleaping DeAngelo Hall for a 30-yard completion on third and 21 to keep a Cowboys drive alive inside of three minutes. The Cowboys eventually converted the go-ahead field goal on the play, which featured Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett calling an all-out blitz. After the game, Hall was not happy about the play and sounded off on Haslett's strategy.
Via Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan:
Hall on
#Redskins using their 0 safety press look so much: "You don't have to be a f---ing rocket scientist to figure it out after a while."
DeAngelo Hall on how often the
#Redskins' showed their no safety help look: "Sooner or later somebody's going to f---ing figure it out."
This is not the first time Hall has criticized Haslett's defensive strategy. After a loss to the Houston Texans last season, Hall expressed his displeasure at not being called on to cover Andre Johnson on the game-tying touchdown.

It's all over in Dallas. In a field goal fest, the Washington Redskins fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 18-16, in a Monday Night football divisional showdown. Both teams are now 2-1 on the season.
On third and 21 from their own 30 yard line, the Redskins brought a heavy blitz and Tony Romo scrambled and connected with Dez Bryant for a 30 yard pass. Fifteen yards were added to the end of the play due to a DeAngelo Hall facemask. It was all Dan Bailey needed for his sixth field goal of the night to put the Cowboyss on top for good.
Earlier in the 4th, the Cowboys had the ball first and goal from the two yard line, after a sack and forced fumble by Rob Jackson was negated by a holding call on Oshi Atogwe. The Skins defense, however, stood tall and held the Cowboys to a field goal after more miscommunication between Tony Romo and his young receiving corps. The fifth field goal by Dan Bailey cut the Skins lead to 16-15. The Skins were unable to respond and put any points on the board.
After the go-ahead sixth from Bailey, the Skins two minute drill would stall when Rex Grossman was chased down by Anthony Spencer from behind. Spencer would force a fumble and the Cowboys would recover to run the clock out with an 18-16 win.

LeBron, sometimes you make these cross-sport jokes too darn easy.
Well played @Jose3030, well played.
The Dallas Cowboys keep inching back into the Monday Night Football game against the Washington Redskins, but they keep coming up short when it matters. The Cowboys drove the ball deep into Redskins territory and even got first and goal from the two-yard line, but could only come away with another short field goal to cut the Redskins' lead to 16-15.
The Cowboys got it down deep into Redskins territory thanks to some nice work from Felix Jones. On second down, Romo was sacked, but a defensive holding penalty on Oshiomogho Atogwe brought the ball to the Redskins' two-yard line. But the Redskins' defense held. Tashard Choice was stuffed on first down, and the Redskins forced two straight incompletions thereafter. With his defense playing well, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett went for the field goal and will hope his defense comes up big.

This is a pretty good visual representation of what's wrong with the Dallas Cowboys' offense right now.
Click to play. Via instntrply.com.
On first and goal from the one yard line, Rex Grossman hit Tim Hightower in the flat to score the first touchdown of the game to give the Redskins a 16-9 lead. It was the exact same play the Skins ran last week to score on the Arizona Cardinals. The touchdown capped a 76 yard drive, with the Skins mixing it up both on the ground and in the air. The big play of the drive was a short pass from Grossman to Santana Moss on a skinny post. Moss gained 36 yards on the play to put the Skins into Dallas territory.
Aside from the scoring drive, Dallas controlled the ball for the rest of the quarter. The Cowboys would cut the lead down to four, on Dan Bailey's fourth field goal of the night. The field goal was set up by a big 29 yard burst up the middle by Felix Jones. Tony Romo connected with Jason Witten for 23 yards, to get the Cowboys just outside the red zone. But the Skins would hold the Cowboys there, limiting them to yet another field goal and the 16-12 lead.
Star Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo has left the game in the third quarter with cramping in his leg. Orakpo appeared to injure himself on a fumble-inducing tackle of Felix Jones late in the quarter. Trainers initially worked on Orakpo on the Washington sideline, but he has since made his way into the locker oom. There has been no official word from the team on the status of the injury or Orakpo's possible return.
The Redskins, behind the legs and hands of running back Tim Hightower, lead the Cowboys 16-12 entering the fourth quarter. Washington and head coach Mike Shanahan are looking to begin the year 3-0, with two huge divisional wins in the first three weeks.
UPDATE: After receiving some IV fluids in the locker room, Orakpo is back on the field with more than thirteen minutes still left in the fourth quarter.
Finally, a touchdown! The Washington Redskins took a 16-9 lead on the Dallas Cowboys midway through this Monday Night Football contest, scoring on a one-yard touchdown pass from Rex Grossman to Tim Hightower. The pass catch was his first-ever touchdown reception of his career.
Hightower was the workhorse on the drive, piling up yards on the seven-play, 76-yard drive. The big strike came on a long pass and run from Grossman to Santana Moss, which brought the ball to Cowboys territory. Hightower picked up a first down inside the one-yard line on two tough runs, then the Redskins went play-action and threw to Hightower out of the backfield for the score.
Dallas will look to respond, but the Redskins' defense has been on point all game.
Play 1: his center snaps the ball behind him, he runs and gets it, has five Redskins running at him and somehow completes a pass for positive yardage.
Play 2: he lofts a ball to nobody on an all-out blitz and Kevin Barnes picks off the pass.
Obviously, we're being a bit unfair because Romo's receiver left him out to dry, but being unfair towards Romo is fun!
The Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys traded field goals for the duration of the first half Monday night, resulting in a 9-9 score at halftime. As it turns out, this is only the second time in *Jaworski voice* NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE history that a game has been tied 9-9 at the half with both teams scoring via three field goals a piece. The only other such occurrence? December of 1971, Chiefs vs. Bills.
History is great and all fellas, but how about a few touchdowns?
In a low scoring battle matching kickers Graham Gano and Dan Bailey, the Cowboys and Redskins are tied 9-9 at halftime. A botched hold by Sav Rocca on a 36 yard field goal attempt by Gano squandered the Skins only other chance to score in the second quarter.
To start the second quarter, the Cowboys evened the score at 6 after Bad Rex reared his ugly head on an attempt to force the ball to Fred Davis, who was triple covered in the middle of the field. Sean Lee picked off the pass and returned it to the 18 yard line. But much like the Skins at the end of the first quarter, the Cowboys could not convert the red zone turnover, going three and out and settling for the tying field goal. Grossman finished the half 11 for 19 with 127 yards.
The Skins defense has looked good, particularly on 3rd down where the Cowboys have gone 0 for 5 so far tonight. They have also held the Boys to only 119 total yards, but have hit an injured Tony Romo only once.
The Cowboys will receive the kickoff to start the second half.
Washington Redskins wide receiver Anthony Armstrong has left the game against the Dallas Cowboys with an apparent hamstring injury. Via Grant Paulsen:
The Dallas Cowboys have taken their first lead of the Monday Night football game against the Washington Redskins with -- you guessed it -- another field goal. Dan Bailey banged one home from 32 yards, and the Cowboys now have a 9-6 lead over the Redskins with 2:25 to go in the first quarter.
The Redskins had a chance to take the lead, marching down the field before another drive stalled in the red zone. However, punter Sav Rocca fumbled the snap on the field goal attempt, and Graham Gano's kick was blocked. The Cowboys then put together a nice drive that also stalled in the red zone, with the Cowboys' crowd booing when Dallas ran a draw play on third and long.

Having LaRon Landry back on the field is like Christmas in late September. It took no time at all for "Dirty 30" to get involved in Monday night's Cowboys and Redskins contest. Landry forced a fumble in the first quarter, and then delivered a monster hit on an overthrown Tony Romo pass to Laurent Robinson. The hit elicited some fantastic responses on the twitter machine. Some of our favorites below:
Redskins 106.7 the Fan DC beat reporter Grant Paulsen attempts some dream analysis:
Grant Paulsen Anybody else get the feeling that LaRon Landry has been waking up in the middle of the night thinking about that hit for the past 10 months?

Rick Maese of the Washington Pos wonders if LaRon has some Ozzy in him:
Rick Maese Landry has been planning that hit since December... if someone handed him a robin right now, he'd prob bite the head off
Sep 27 via webFavoriteRetweetReply
This is probably my favorite, due to the "HULK SMASH" nature of both Mr. Landry and this tweet:
I'm sure Ron Jaworski meant something far more complicated than this when he offered this analysis of Rex Grossman's awful pass that was intercepted by Sean Lee in the second quarter.
"If you're going to try to throw it in there, throw it over the top of him."
Yeah, that's a good plan. Again, part of analysis is saying things that seem obvious out of context, but aren't in context, but LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
Through one quarter, the Redskins lead the Cowboys 6-3. After a ten play, 42 yard opening drive that took nearly 5 minutes, Graham Gano connected on a 46 yard field goal to give the Skins the 3-0 lead. On the Cowboys subsequent drive, Dan Bailey evened the score with a 41 yard field goal of his own.
Rex Grossman is 3 for 6 for 30 yards, connecting with Chris Cooley for 17 yards on the opening drive. On the ground, Tim Hightower has struggled with only 19 yards on seven carries.
On the defensive side, LaRon Landry has already made his presence felt, chasing down Cowboys wideout Kevin Ogletree and forcing a fumble. Josh Wilson recovered the fumble on the sideline, where it was originally ruled that it had been previously touched by Kevin Barnes while he was out-of-bounds. Mike Shanahan successfully challenged the call, where replay showed Barnes in mid-air during the touch.
The Skins were given the ball first and goal, where they quickly went three and out. Gano connected on his second field goal of the night from 27 yards out, given the Skins the 6-3 lead.
Number of rushing attempts for Chris Cooley in the first 105 games of his NFL career: zero.
Number of rushing attempts for Chris Cooley in the first 11 minutes of the 106th game of his NFL career: two.
Ron Jaworski, describing the Dallas Cowboys' tight end that will confuse the Washington Redskins' linebackers all game.
"He has big reception radius. I'd love to throw the ball to him."
We also would have accepted "he's a big target," but if the jumpin' Jaworski wants to have amazing alliteration, it's his personal prerogative.
Via Rich Campbell of the Washington Times:
I think he's happy to be back. It has been a while, you know.
Monday Night Football announcer extraordinaire Jon Gruden, on Redskins running back Tim Hightower:
"I call him my AC/DC back. Every run is hard. He finishes."
No word on whether Jon prefers the Bon Scott era to the Brian Johnson era.
The Washington Redskins are off to a strong start in their Monday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys, as they scored on their first drive of the game. Graham Gano nailed a 46-yard field goal after the drive stalled, and the Redskins lead, 3-0, early.
The drive was punctuated by nice passes from Rex Grossman to Santana Moss and Chris Cooley. The Moss catch was for 16 yards, while the Cooley catch also picked up a first down. Cooley even picked up a first down on third and 1 via the run. The Redskins' tight end has been lining up in the backfield as an H-back with normal starting fullback Darrel Young sidelined due to injury.
There were eight ESPN personalities who made picks on the Redskins Vs. Cowboys Monday Night Football game. All eight picked Dallas. Just how Mike Shanahan wants it.

So reported Ed Werder just now on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown. You know, because Hall said he's targeting Romo's ribs, and barbeque sauce is good with ribs. Whoever that fan was is good with puns.
We're just about one hour away from kickoff between the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. The inactives list for both squads are in. We shared who's inactive for Washington tonight; now let's take a quick look at which eight Dallas players won't be participating in tonight's action from Cowboys Stadium.
K David Buehler, RB Phillip Tanner, WR Miles Austin, CB Orlando Scandrick, G David Arkin, G Derrick Dockery, DE Clifton Geathers
For fans of the game, it's good to see that Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and Felix Jones will all be playing tonight. How limited they may or may not be remains to be seen. But when two hated rivals square off in an early-season matchup, it's good to see each team have its most important players out there. That said, Dallas still is missing some key guys tonight. Orlando Scandrick, Derrick Dockery, and of course, their top receiver Miles Austin, are all big losses.
Stay tuned throughout the Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup for updates, commentary and analysis.
Week 3 of the National Football League is just about in the books, with a Monday Night Football clash between the rival Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys set to kickoff at 8:30 pm EST. Outside of the Skins' surprising 2-0 start, the big story line for the matchup has been the injury situations for both squads. Will Tony Romo be able to play? How will LaRon Landry look in his 2011 debut? Will the Redskins have any healthy fullbacks able to dress, or will Chris Cooley be forced to play some at the position?
We'll see how players fare once the hitting commences, but for now we know at least who the inactives for both squads are. Let's take a look first at the Redskins.
WR Stallworth, S Gomes, FB Young, LB White, OL Smith, WR Hankerson and DL Scott.
So, looks like Laron Landry will indeed play despite not being out on the field for pregame warmups. At fullback Mike Sellers will start at fullback, with the Skins' two tight ends helping out in blocking duties I'd imagine.
For the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo (lungs), Dez Bryant (thigh) and Felix Jones will all play. WR Kevin Ogletree will replace Miles Austin (hamstring).
For all things Redskins and Cowboys, be sure to visit Hogs Haven and Blogging the Boys.
Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Wilson is expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football after suffering a back injury in the Redskins' win over the Arizona Cardinals last week. Wilson is going to warm up normally for the game, and CSN Washington's Kelli Johnson reports that as long as he checks out, he'll be good to go.
Team source tells me, barring any setbacks during warm-ups.. Both Laron Landry & Josh Wilson will play tonight vs Cowboys
Wilson suffered the injury leaning in to make a tackle last Sunday. He laid on the ground for a while before walking off on his own power. The injury looked very serious at the time, but he was able to practiced on a limited scale during the week. Coach Mike Shanahan said he only had a minor back injury at the time.
Dez Bryant, the Dallas Cowboy's big-play wide receiver out of Oklahoma State, expects to return to action for the Cowboys when they take on the rival Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. Bryant sat out Dallas' Week 2 win with a thigh contusion but has been diligently trying to get his leg ready to play all week with regular treatments according to Evan Silva via Ed Werder.
ESPN's Ed Werder on #Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (quad): "He's been punctual for treatment all week bc he knows he could play a huge role" on MNF.
Bryant's availability is even more important for Tony Romo and the Cowboys offense because of Miles Austin being scratched from the game with a hamstring injury.
In one career game against the Redskins -- his first career game in Week 1 of 2010 -- Bryant caught eight passes for 56 yards. In his lone appearance this season, Bryant hauled in three passes for 71 yards and a score in Dallas' Week 1 loss to the New York Jets.
Kickoff between the two hated rivals is at 8:30 pm EST from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
In case there was any doubt, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is expected to play in the Monday Night Football game against the Washington Redskins after suffering a rib injury last week. ESPN's Ed Werder reports that Romo will receive an injection to numb the pain in his broken rib. Via SBNation.com:
Romo's punctured lung has reportedly healed and dealing with the rib injury he has is generally a matter of pain tolerance. For that, ESPN's Ed Werder reports, Romo will take a painkiller injection for Monday's game and give it a go.
None of this is a surprise, since Romo himself said on Sunday that he would be "good to go" to play in the game. The Redskins will now just have to stop him and the Cowboys' first-string offense, save for wide receiver Miles Austin, who will miss the game.
After some uncertainty early in the week, it looks like LaRon Landry will indeed play for the Washington Redskins in their Monday Night Football showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. The latest Landry injury update comes from Dan Hellie of NBC, who reports that Landry will play for the first time this season after missing two games with a hamstring injury.
LaRon Landry is playing and starting tonight.
#redskins #cowboys
Landry originally suffered the hamstring injury while rehabbing from his offseason Achilles injury. He missed the first two regular-season games, but seemed set on playing in the game against the Cowboys. He was listed as a "game-time decision" on Friday's injury report after being limited in practice all week.
It's hard to quantify what a home field advantage means for an NFL team, unless you organize the betting lines on Football games, then you know that it's three points. When the lines are made, each home team is given a three point advantage. So if you see a home NFL team with just a three point advantage, it means that the game is basically a wash talent wise.
For a while the Cowboys were favored to beat the Redskins by five points, which means they were favored in addition to their home field advantage. But now the odds are more even, and the only difference between them to oddsmakers is the home field advantage that Dallas will have. here are the complete odds from SB Nation's Odds Page.

If the Redskins beat the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, it would be great. But if it doesn't happen and they lose, that's not the end of the world either.
Fans of the Washington Redskins had to go an entire NFL Sunday without being able to watch their team this weekend get rewarded with a whole heap of National attention tonight. The Washington Redskins take on the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas for Monday Night Football.
The game can be seen on ESPN at 8:30 tonight and will be called by the usual MNF trio, Mike Tirico, the incomparable John Gruden and Ron Jaworski. It will be nice to watch the suddenly relevant Redskins on a National stage. And it is a lot nice that they enter the game at 2-0 than if they entered at 0-2, because now the announcers will have nice things to say about them.But it can't stop there, this is a great forum for the Redskins to show the whole Country what they are made of.

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo told ESPN that he will play tomorrow night against the Washington Redskins. In an overtime win last week against the San Francisco 49ers, Romo suffered a broken rib and a punctured lung. Despite those injurires, Romo came out to finish the San Francisco game and plans to play tomorrow night.
Romo's status was the biggest question going into the game. The Cowboys have other injuries to key players like Miles Austin, but the drop-off from Romo to backup Jon Kitna is severe. A Romo-less Cowboy squad would have made the Redskins task easier.
Asked about Romo's injuries earlier in the week, Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he intends to go after Romo and target his ribs. Romo responded in the conversation with ESPN, saying that if Romo is blitzing, he will not be in coverage, and that the Cowboys will attack that position. Romo did not practice all week prior to Saturday.
The Cowboys against the Redskins on Monday Night Football usually produces drama. The injuries and back and forth of Romo and Hall only add to what should be a terrific game. If the Redskins win, they will move to 3-0, first in the NFC East and 2-0 in the division. The Cowboys sit at 1-1. Vegas has established the Cowboys as 5.5 point favorites.

The week 3 NFL injury report for the Redskins vs. Cowboys Monday night football game is out, and nearly all of the key injured players on both sides are listed as questionable for the game. That includes Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and Felix Jones for the Cowboys, as well as LaRon Landry for the Redskins.
The Redskins have listed four players, including Landry, as questionable, while the Cowboys have those three and kicker David Buehler listed as questionable. Josh Wilson is listed as probable for the Redskins, while Miles Austin, Derrick Dockery and Orlando Scandrick are listed as out.
Here is the full injury report, via Redskins PR:
Probable: KR Brandon Banks (knee), TE Chris Cooley (knee), LB Keyaron Fox (back), CB DeAngelo Hall (toe), TE Logan Paulsen (hamstring), CB Josh Wilson (back)
Questionable: DB DeJon Gomes (hamstring), S LaRon Landry (hamstring), FB Mike Sellers (ankle), FB Darrel Young (hamstring)
Questionable: QB Tony Romo (ribs), WR Dez Bryant (Thigh), RB Felix Jones (shoulder), K David Buehler (right groin)
Out: WR Miles Austin (Hamstring), OG Derrick Dockery (knee), DB Orlando Scandrick (ankle)

The Dallas Cowboys received some good injury news on Saturday, as quarterback Tony Romo returned to practice for the first time since suffering a broken rib and a punctured lung in the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the San Francisco 49ers. It appears that Romo is not fully practicing, but he does have pads and a helmet on, according to Clarence Hill of the Fort Werth Star Telegram.
Via ESPN Dallas' Todd Archer:
Meanwhile, wide receiver Dez Bryant also returned to practice and caught passes. It appears the Redskins should at least prepare as if both will play on Monday, though their statuses are still up in the air.

With three days to go before the Monday night showdown between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, the injuries to Tony Romo and Dez Bryant are still an issue for the Cowboys. Neither player participated in practice on Friday, though Bryant did dress. Both are still uncertain to play for the Cowboys on Monday.
Romo did throw a little bit on Friday, but for the most part, he was still limited. His punctured lung appears to be healed, but his ribs are still an issue. ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins reports Romo has not yet been cleared to play, though he is hopeful he will.
As for Bryant, he is still nursing a quad injury. He was dressed before reporters were able to see, but officially listed as not participating in practice.
The Friday NFL injury report for the Monday night football game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys is not out yet, but it appears injured safety LaRon Landry and cornerback Josh Wilson will both be game-time decisions for the Redskins. Both players were limited in practice on Friday, and coach Mike Shanahan dubbed both as "game-time decisions." Via Rich Campbell of the Washington Times.
Shanahan: LaRon (hamstring) still hasn't gone full speed yet. He's a gametime decision. "He's going to have to show me something to play."
Landry said he was at "70-80 percent" on Friday and did not practice much due to the wet conditions. As for Wilson, Shanahan said he was also a game-time decision, but that the extra day of rest should help him. Wilson suffered a scary back injury in the game against the Cardinals on Sunday.
We get you ready for the big game on Monday with a Q&A from a SB Nation Cowboys expert.
It looks like a given that the Dallas Cowboys will take the field against the Washington Redskins next Monday without wide receiver Miles Austin, and they may have to play without Dez Bryant either. Austin suffered a hamstring injury in the Cowboys' win over the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday and has not practiced all week. He will apparently also miss the game on Monday night.
Miles Austin won't play Monday, according to a source. Dez's status still up in the air. Today and tomorrow will tell the story on him.
Bryant missed last week's game against the 49ers with his own hamstring issue. If Austin and Bryant cannot play, the Cowboys will rely on Kevin Ogletree, Jesse Holley and Dwayne Harris to pick up the slack at wide receiver.

The Washington Redskins will bring Week 3 of the NFL to a close on Monday Night when they head to Dallas for a meeting with the hated Cowboys. This should be a pretty even game on the field, and the odds, presented by SB Nation and OddShark, echo that. As of right now, the Cowboys are just a five point favorite at home. Here are the complete odds.
Only one oddsmaker has their line in for the game, but it probably won't vary too much between the carriers. Three points is the general bonus that comes with home field advantage, so this is a very tough one to call for the oddsmakers. I might take the Redskins and the points on this one.

The Punctured Lung that Tony Romo suffered against the 49ers has reportedly healed, according to Calvin Watkins.
Tony romo small puncture in his lung has healed according to a source. Playing status still in doubt.
Pretty amazing that he healed up that fast, but he still has to deal with the fractured ribs that lead to his lung being punctured. If I had to guess I would say that he plays through it, because if the punctured lung wasn't going to hold him back, I don't think the ribs will stop him. Romo wants to follow up on all the praise he got from playing through the injury against the 49ers, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to keep that good momentum (publicity-wise) going.

The Dallas Cowboys' injury report for Thursday includes 11 names, many of whom will miss the Monday night game against the Washington Redskins. At the very least, many of their statuses are very much up in the air. The most significant name on the list is quarterback Tony Romo, but wide receivers Miles Austin and Dez Bryant and running back Felix Jones also didn't practice Thursday.
Romo got a CAT scan on Thursday for his punctured lung, the results of which are not known yet. For his part, backup quarterback Jon Kitna expects Romo to play on Monday. Austin is certainly out for the game, and Bryant's own hamstring issue has not improved since Week 1. Jones should play on Monday.
Here is the full Cowboys injury report:
DID NOT PRACTICE: Miles Austin (hamstring), Dez Bryant (hamstring), Phil Costa (Knee), Derrick Dockery (Knee), Felix Jones (Shouler), Tony Romo (Ribs), Orlando Scandrick (Ankle).
DID PRACTICE: Mike Jenkins (Shoulder), Bill Nagy (Neck), Terrence Newman (Groin), Anthony Spencer (Shoulder).

The week 3 NFL injury report for Thursday is out for the Washington Redskins as they prepare to face the Dallas Cowboys next Monday. Five players, including safety LaRon Landry and cornerback Josh Wilson, were limited in practice, according to the report.
Landry said prior to practice that "you'll see me" on Monday, so he thinks he will play after missing two weeks with a hamstring injury. However, he was limited in practice, according to coach Mike Shanahan. Here's what Shanahan had to say, via a team press release.
"Same thing. He's working in some drills. He's still limited but he's getting better every day. We're still hoping that he can get back in football shape, do what he's capable of doing without setting him back."
Wilson was also limited in practice, and his status for Monday is more uncertain. He left the game against the Arizona Cardinals after taking a scary shot to the head.
Here is the full Redskins injury report:
LIMITED IN PRACTICE: DeJon Gomes (Hamstring), LaRon Landry (Hamstring), Mike Sellers (Ankle), Josh Wilson (Back), Darrel Young (Hamstring)
FULL PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE: Brandon Banks (Knee), Chris Cooley (Knee), Keyaron Fox (Back), DeAngelo Hall (Toe), Logan Paulsen (Hamstring)

Tony Romo's status for Monday Night's game against the Redskins sis still very much up in the air. He seems to be pretty badly affected by that fractured rib and punctured lung (and I don't really blame him) but there is still speculation that he might try to play. ESPN is reporting that Romo is not expected that practice on Thursday, and he will undergo another CT Scan to monitor the healing of his injury.
The puncture has been described as "small" and multiple sources have indicated it could clear up in a couple of days. Coach Jason Garrett gave the players Tuesday and Wednesday off in an attempt to help with the recoveries of several injured players.
This sounds like one of those things that we won't know either way until just before gametime. So if you're a Tony Romo Fantasy owner, or you just have a vested interest in this game, you might have to wait a while to find your answer.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered a fractured rib and a punctured lung against the San Fransisco 49ers on Sunday, and his status for Monday's game against the Redskins is still undecided. Romo hopes do be able to play, but based on this interview clip that we first saw at Hogs Haven, Romo is still in some pretty serious pain. The good part starts right around the 5:30 mark.
Jon Kitna didn't look very good when he replaced Tony Romo on Sunday so it would probably be good for the Redskins if Romo doesn't give it a go, or if he proves ineffective. Some of the Redskins have already said that they will have no problem targeting Romo's ribs. If he's having trouble breathing and has to sleep in a chair, I don't think a shot to the ribs from Brian Orakpo is going to feel very good.

Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry spoke to reporters on Wednesday prior to practice, and confirmed that he expect to return to the lineup for the team's Monday night game against the Dallas Cowboys. Landry has missed the first two games with a hamstring injury. While he did say his status is ultimately up to coach Mike Shanahan, he did seem very eager to get back to playing.

Grant Paulsen Landry said he hopes to "un-chain the beast" and said participating in walk-throughs is frustrating because he wants to hit. #Redskins

Yup. Based on that, it sounds like Landry will be ready to go.

Does Dallas Week still matter? How do we judge the Redskins after two weeks? What's next for Georgetown with this latest round of conference realignment. All that and more in this week's Chain Reactions.
Tony Romo's injury status for the Dallas Cowboys' game against the Washington Redskins next Monday night remains uncertain. Romo had a punctured lung and one broken rib last week, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show that he's still not sure if Romo will be ready to play. Via the Fort Werth Star Telegram.
"I don't know," Jones said. "I really don't. I understand the nature of the injury as much as you can without being in medicine. We'll just have to see how it goes. It has everything to do with just his ability to handle the pain, and we know he has a bunch of it."
On Monday, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he didn't see any reason why Romo would not play, but that was prior to the reports that Romo also had a punctured lung. The Cowboys' quarterback suffered the injury in the team's win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. He momentarily left the game, but returned to lead Dallas' comeback.

LaRon Landry's injury has healed in time for him to play next Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, at least according to LaRon Landry. The Redskins' safety told Brian Mitchell that he will be back in the Redskins' lineup for the game. Via Dan Steinberg:
"Of course," he told Brian Mitchell's show, B-Mitch Live. "Of course. I'm looking forward to playing next week."
The interview was conducted in the Redskins' locker room on Sunday. During the interview, Landry said he felt "great." He had missed the first two games of the Redskins' season with a hamstring injury, which was suffered as he was rehabbing from an Achilles injury. In his absence, Reed Doughty has started at strong safety for Washington.

The plot thickens when it comes to Tony Romo's injury status for next Monday's showdown against the Washington Redskins. A previous report indicated Romo merely had one broken rib, but ESPN's Chris Mortensen is now reporting that Romo also has a punctured lung. His status remains uncertain for the game.
While a CT scan revealed only one fracture to Tony Romo's ribs, the Cowboys' quarterback has been diagnosed with a punctured lung, according to sources.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett did not address the report of the punctured lung in his Monday press conference, saying instead that "I would not think there's any reason to think that he won't play Monday."
Romo was initially taken out of last Sunday's game against the 49ers, but was later re-inserted into the game despite the injury. The Cowboys are already expected to be shorthanded next Monday, as top wide receiver Miles Austin is expected to be out with a hamstring injury.

While it appears the Dallas Cowboys will be without wide receiver Miles Austin for next Monday's showdown with the Washington Redskins, they received better news on the injuries to quarterback Tony Romo and running back Felix Jones. Both are expected to play as of right now, according to a report by ESPN Dallas.
An MRI Monday revealed that Romo only had one fractured rib, which was the same diagnosis he had on Sunday. According to the report, Romo is expected to play on Monday.
Romo will receive extra treatment throughout the week but said after the game he would be able to play next Monday against the Washington Redskins since he was able to finish the game Sunday. He could wear extra protection for his ribs.
Jones, meanwhile, suffered a shoulder injury, and the fear in Dallas was that he would miss some time with a separated shoulder. However, according to the report, he merely dislocated the shoulder and is expected to be in the lineup on Monday. Jones played through the injury with a harness on Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys may be without star wide receiver Miles Austin when they take on the Washington Redskins next week on Monday Night Football. Austin suffered a hamstring injury in the Cowboys' win over the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday after dominating the game, and a report by ESPN Dallas indicates Austin is not expected to play.
According to sources, wide receiver Miles Austin is not expected to play against the Redskins after aggravating a hamstring injury he suffered during training camp. While it is possible he could play Oct. 2 against Detroit, the more likely return date is Oct. 16 at New England after the bye week.
Austin's absence is big, especially if fellow wide receiver Dez Bryant, who did not play on Sunday because of a quad injury, also cannot play. It will certainly make life easier for the Redskins' cornerbacks.

The Dallas Cowboys rallied to defeat the San Francisco 49ers, 27-24, in overtime to move their record to 1-1 on the season going into next Monday's showdown against the Washington Redskins. However, they suffered some major injuries in the win. Tony Romo, Felix Jones and Miles Austin all suffered injuries during the game, and their status is uncertain for next Monday. Romo re-entered to lead the comeback, so we'll see about him.
The most serious of the injuries appears to be the one suffered by Jones. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Jones suffered a separated shoulder, which would certainly keep him out for some time. Austin, meanwhile, pulled his hamstring at the end of the game after scoring three touchdowns. Fellow wide receiver Dez Bryant didn't play on Sunday with a quad injury, so the Cowboys could be incredibly shorthanded.
Romo, meanwhile, suffered a rib injury and had to leave the game. Some reports indicated it was a broken rib, but it apparently wasn't enough to keep Romo sidelined in that game. Nevertheless, the Redskins will surely be catching a banged-up Cowboys team next Monday.

CUMBERLAND — In states where wrestling holds a prominent place in the high school sports winter season -- Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Iowa come to mind – people flock to big dual-meets in large numbers. When two unbeaten teams meet, fans and coaches and former wrestlers fill the stands, contributing to a raucous setting not often seen in Rhode Island.
WOONSOCKET — Mount St. Charles Academy and Catholic Memorial got exactly what they needed from their non-league clash on Wednesday.
For the Mounties, they got a very competitive contest with one of Massachusetts' premier teams -- a game that will help them prepare for the Division I playoffs that get under way in two weekends.
But for the Knights, they picked up something a bit more important to them -- a point that moves them closer to earning a return trip to their Division 1A Super Eight state tourney.
CUMBERLAND — The Cumberland High wrestling program runs as deep as the roots head coach Steve Gordon has nurtured in this town since moving here nearly 50 years ago.
The Clippers finished their second straight undefeated dual-meet season on Wednesday night with a 37-20 spanking of equally unbeaten Warwick Veterans, which was the favored team heading into this showdown between Division I's two elite squads.
WOONSOCKET --- On "Teacher Appreciation Night" at Woonsocket High, it seemed only fitting that the Novans taught Smithfield High a couple of lessons in rebounding and defense in their Division I-North rematch on Tuesday.
Junior forward Kailey Fugere scored a game-high 19 points, senior center Ashley Dubois added 16, and the duo also teamed up to rip down 28 rebounds to help the Novans avenge an earlier loss to the Sentinels and soar to an impressive 57-37 triumph.
WOONSOCKET --- Not many high school hockey coaches get their kicks out of putting together a non-league schedule as grueling and competitive as the one Mount St. Charles Academy coach Dave Belisle rolls out every year.
He always starts it off with the team's annual post-Christmas Holiday Face-Off tournament, which attracts some of the best talent in the Northeast. He then sprinkles in a couple of tough opponents over the next 4-5 weeks, such as two-time Connecticut state champion Hamden High last Wednesday.
CUMBERLAND -- Tonight marks the beginning of the best 10-day stretch in Rhode Island wrestling this year. It starts with a battle between two unbeaten high school programs. Defending state champion Cumberland will host 2010 runnerup Warwick Veterans tonight at The Wellness Center with the regular season dual-meet title at stake.
There's never too little to write about when it comes to the Blackstone Valley region and the indoor track & field state championships.
This weekend's meet, however, may border on the ridiculous. In fact, when it comes to its conclusion roughly four hours after its early 10 o'clock start on Saturday morning, there's a good chance I'll develop a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome.
BURRILLVILLE – Mount St. Charles scored five goals in the third period on Saturday night to break open a competitive contest and send the Mounties to an 8-1 victory over Burrillville.
The Mounties led 3-0 after two periods before blowing the game wide open in the final stanza. Mike Magerman, Trevor Plante and Ryan Berard each scored two goals for Mount, which is now 14-1-1 on the season with two games left on the league schedule.
BURRILLVILLE — When it comes to the public school teams, there aren't too many folks in the state who are as big as fan of them as longtime coach Gary Rouleau.
That being noted, you can't blame Rouleau if he's been particularly excited about the truly outstanding season his Burrillville/Ponaganset co-op team is enjoying this winter.
The Broncos, who skated to an easy 7-0 triumph over the Barrington/Mount Hope co-op squad on Saturday night at the Cranston Ice Rink, have won five games in a row and sit in second place in the standings with a 10-2 record.
PROVIDENCE — It's not all about winning state championships.
With an emerging track and field program like the Woonsocket High girls, it's all about taking it one meet, one year at a time.
The Villa Novans, who last week copped their second straight league tile in the Dwyer Division, took another positive step forward on Saturday afternoon at the Providence Athletic Facility. Competing in the hard-as-nails Large School Championship, Woonsocket finished fourth among the nine schools with a solid 51.5 points.

Rated 5 out of 5�by buckshot MY BUCK 110 I HAD A BRAND NEW 110 BUCK IN 1999 BOX,PAPERS WITH IT I TRADED IT TO A CAR SALESMAN FRIEND OF MINE TO GET IS 1974 110 WITH THE ORIGINAL SHEATH I STILL HAVE IT TO THIS DAY . I DID NOT GET IN TO HUNTING TILL 2006 AND USED THIS OLD 110 TO TAKE CARE OF ABOUT 6-10 SQUIRRLS THAT YEAR. THEN IN 2007 I USED IT ON 4-5 SQUIRRLS AND MY VERY FIRST DEER THE 110 WAS THE ONLY HUNTING KNIFE THAT I OWNED AT THAT TIME. THEN AFTER CHRISTMAS IN 2012 I GOT ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE AND ORDER ME A NEW BUCK 110 SO I COULD KEEP THE OLDER ONE PUT UP. I WILL CARRY THE NEW ONE MORE THAN THE OLDER ONE I CANT TELL MUCH DIFF OTHER THAN WOOD HANDLES AND 440C STEEL TO 420 HC STEEL USED IN TODAYS 110. July 21, 2014

Takes a lot of abuse, holds up well. I always have a nice pretty one at home as a spare, in a nice new case so if I abuse it just a little too far... Been using this same brand and model for the last 25+ years August 21, 2012

John Garcia
For many of you, the name John Garcia doesn't mean a whole lot. I get that. For some of us - people that have long loved the world of Stoner Rock and Metal, John Garcia is every bit the musical God that people like Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson are in the world of "classic metal". With… Read More
I must be getting old, because recently, I've noticed my attitude softening toward the dreaded "nu-metal" bands of fifteen years ago. Maybe it's just nostalgia for what I now perceive (incorrectly, I'm sure) as a simpler time, but the burnout and disinterest I felt circa 2002, the year I quit seriously listening to mainstream rock radio has mellowed of late. Don't… Read More
More singers should try to have their wives killed if the resulting project to come from that nightmare sounds like Wovenwar. Holy shit is this project great! Being perfectly honest, I wasn't much of an As I Lay Dying fan, so hearing that the surviving members were forming a new project and carrying on with a new singer and new name… Read More
Holy shit! Who saw this coming? In an astonishing detour off the band's well-trampled musical path. Their latest album ventures into heretofore uncharted territories, embracing such unexpected sonic offshoots as Eastern-tinged black metal, polka-dotted folk-metal, and, in what is sure to be a harbinger of trends to come, Tuvan throat-singing.
Nah, just fuckin' with you to see if you… Read More
All the stars are aligned for me to be an absolute worshipper of Fozzy. And yet, I'm just not. It's not that I don't want to be. I'm a huge fan of the WWE, which is where Chris Jericho calls home professionally at least part of the time. To that fact, I'm a fan of Chris… Read More

Blues Pills
It's not a secret that this whole retro movement in the worlds of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal has been an absolutely God sent for my musical palette. For so many years now, probably 20 or more, the ONLY band I've had to hold onto when I wanted new music from a band who's influences were steeped into the… Read More
Retro has become in these days, and there are more and more bands creeping up that have harkened their sound back to a time that left well over 30 years ago. The last 2 years have seen an influx of bands reaching back to the '70s. Bands like Blues Pills, Vista Chino, Scorpion Child and Rival Sons have all emerged with… Read More
The Treatment
Admit it: you've just about given up on England when it comes to producing quality rock 'n' roll.

Come the fuck on!
The Treatment are a… Read More
Arch Enemy
The big story surrounding Arch Enemy's ninth studio album is that the band has done the impossible. They replaced their lead singer calmly, quietly, and without anybody knowing about it until it was already done—and somehow didn't miss a beat in the process. It's hard enough to replace a singer just once, but Arch Enemy has done it twice, and while… Read More
California Breed
It definitely sucks when you watch a band that you are REALLY a fan of implode. For me, that's just what I had to do with Black Country Communion. As the band that I think a lot of people compared head to head with Sammy Hagar's supergroup Chickenfoot, BCC stormed out quickly and recorded three tremendous releases. Still, as… Read More
One of the hardest things I'm tasked to do when reviewing bands is to look past the individual history of the members when a new project pops up. Many times, you really can't help but to think about a guy's past work in another band. That's especially true when the guy is the singer. MuckRaker is one of those bands for… Read More
Judas Priest
Judas Priest has a lot to atone for in the eyes of all fans except for Jim "Nostradamus" Bartek. Given the fact that Bartek's 524 day listening streak to NOSTRADAMUS probably doubled the count of the rest of the Priest fanbase combined, it's clear that the once Mighty Priest needed to do something very, very metal this time… Read More
Quiet Riot
I'm generally excited when Jizzy Pearl fronts any band. He's one of my favorite singers out there from the classic metal era; a distinct sounding guy who has proven to be a chameleon while maintaining a sound there is no mistaking. Jizzy joining Quiet Riot was a welcome thought to me, personally. While I've never been a huge Quiet Riot… Read More
Black Stone Cherry
Well, they finally did it. After nearly a decade of being hailed as the new kings of southern rock, and receiving favorable comparisons to Zeppelin and Skynyrd, western Kentucky's Black Stone Cherry have released an album that's worthy of all the praise.
I've always liked the IDEA of Black Stone Cherry. I mean, what's not to like about… Read More
American Dog
God bless American Dog! For fifteen years, a bunch of blue-collar working stiffs from Columbus, Ohio have been churning out their brand of greasy, grimy redneck metal, and doing it all themselves. You gotta respect a band with American Dog's tenacity, toiling away in obscurity while other, much lesser bands soak up the major-label success. Oh yeah, and the tunes… Read More
For so many people, they hear Gary Cherone's name and immediately think about the failed Van Halen album III that he fronted. I get it. How can you not? It was such an unbelievably bad effort, and really should never have had the Van Halen name on it at all. Unfortunately though, Cherone has always been the blamesake of that release,… Read More
I really have no idea why U.D.O. is not a much, much bigger band than they are. Without question, everyone is all too quick to celebrate Accept, both with and without vocalist Udo Dirkschneider in the band. And yet, for all the love fans have for Dirkschneider's era of Accept, U.D.O. has really remained an afterthought instead of… Read More
Ronny Munroe
One of the most disrespected singers in all of heavy metal, Ronny Munroe has more than ably fronted Metal Church for a decade now. Fronting Metal Church since 2004, the band has been a touch inconsistent (A LIGHT IN THE DARK and GENERATION NOTHING being great, WEIGHT OF THE WORLD and THIS PRESENT WASTELAND being a bit forgettable), but… Read More
I could write all kinds of stuff about how Vader are the icons of Polish Death Metal. I could put all kinds of praise on them, and talk about how they and Behemoth are the trendsetters that allowed people to understand that Poland had some death metal brilliance coming out of their country. I could talk for a long… Read More
Even as a fan of Tesla, it's not hard to look at the band and find them to be somewhat less than energetic when it comes to putting out new music. They've now come forth with just their 7th studio album of new material since 1986. Let's be honest here, folks...that's not a lot of material over a VERY LONG period… Read More
I really don't think that, of all the bands out there, Tankard could ever do anything I don't appreciate in some way or another. Let's face it, if ever there was a "Chris Akin" band, Tankard would be it. They make the kind of metal that is closest to my heart - Thrash with just a touch of melody to make it… Read More
On the 8/15/13 edition of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Chris Akin had a chance to interview the legendary vocalist of Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual and many more bands...the great Philip H. Anselmo.
Check out the interview here:
Philip H. Anselmo's WALK THROUGH EXITS ONLY is available now.
Over the last few years, one of the most busy and biggest growing metal bands as far as reputation has been Havok. These guys have proven, right from the start, to be one of the most motivated and hardworking bands on the planet. They seem to be doing one of two things at every moment for the last 3 years...touring or recording. These new band creates what has to be considered the freshest dose of Bay Area Thrash throwback music the metal scene has seen in quite some time. There are other bands that have come along with them (Warbringer, Lazarus AD, Municipal Waste), but Havok is the only one that has seemingly stayed busy every step of the way and gained its share of attention.
Wolfbrigade are a band of some irony. They are a punk meets metal band, and yet, they have landed on a stoner rock label like Southern Lord to release their latest album, DAMNED. While heavily punk influenced, their latest release is far more brutal than you would expect from a band of this ilk. Checking in from the road, Dadde from Wolfbrigade checked in to explain just what's going on with the band, with DAMNED, and with their decision to take a full year off before reconvening with DAMNED.
Tommy Victor once told me that Prong was "the cockroach of Rock N' Roll". As he put it, there wasn't really anything that could truly cause Prong to go away. Not poor sales. Not changes in the industry. Not even changes in the band itself. He has proven that statement right for years now. While Prong is more of a part time thing for Victor at this point with other obligations to everyone from Glenn Danzig to Ministry, it's still always a good thing when Prong reconvenes for a new album.

Roberta Guaspari teaching.
Her two-day visit to Fredonia will include Friday's lunch with string faculty, a brief tour of Mason Hall, the award convocation, and dinner at the Alumni House. On Saturday, she will have breakfast with the School of Music Advisory Board and then meet students in Mason Hall from 10 a.m. to noon.
The 1969 music alumna will be the featured guest at the School of Music's annual Convocation starting at 3 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. The spring event is a tradition of honoring the most outsanding students in the school, inducting students into honor societies, and announcing scholarships and awards. This year, more than 40 awards will be presented. The event is free and open to the public.
To herald Ms. Guaspari's return to campus, the School of Music is holding "Movie Night" in Rosch Recital Hall on Tuesday, May 6, starting at 6:30 p.m. when "Small Wonders" and "Music of the Heart" will be screened. The event is free and all are welcome.
In 1991, 150 kids in three East Harlem public elementary schools were about to lose their cherished violin program as a result of budget cuts. Working with parents, other teachers and volunteers, their violin teacher, Ms. Guaspari, founded Opus 118 Harlem School of Music, a private, nonprofit organization, to save the program and to continue to serve public school students in low-income areas.
Ms. Guaspari's passionate struggle to keep music instruction alive in Harlem's public schools has inspired two films: "Small Wonders," a 1996 documentary produced by Allan Miller, and Miramax's 1999 feature film, "Music of the Heart," starring Meryl Streep; both films received Academy Award nominations.
The New York City Schools Chancellor restored funds for Ms. Guaspari and for two more Opus violin teachers. Today, Opus serves in six New York public schools. Visit the Opus 118, the Harlem School of Music website.
After graduating from SUNY Fredonia, she completed her Master of Arts degree in Music Education from Boston University School of Fine Arts. She holds honorary doctorates from the New England Conservatory of Music, the State University of New York and Mount Holyoke College.
