Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Hello. Let's go. --Tony
Hi. I'm here. --Mike
alexandria va:
yes tony
now that jordan is with washington what is gonna happen to Curse O' Les Boulez?
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: The curse O' Les Boulez is still in effect. --Tony
Yes it is. --Mike
The Boston Red Sox have Manny Ramirez, Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez and they don't win jack. They are still cursed. Until the Bullets/ Wizards win something -- and by that I mean more than 45 games, then the curse is still on. --Tony
Yep. They gotta win AT LEAST one round in the playoffs before you can declare the curse is over. --Mike
No, no. They gotta win a couple of rounds in a couple of years. The Caps are still choking dogs. They went to the finals one year and in the 3 years since then they didn't make the playoffs again. Until they win something, they are choking dogs. Twice in a row they finished ahead of Pittsburgh and had home ice and went out on their keisters. So who is kidding who? --Tony
Now, I wanna see 'em play Pittsburgh in the playoffs! I do. I mean suppose they lost to Pittsburgh after taking/Jagr from the Penguins. --Mike
Well then they would be COLLOSAL choking dogs. --Tony
Bethesda, Md:
Hi Guys:
Looking forward to your new TV show on ESPN
Do you think that Marty (my way or the highway) tatics are a little old for todays players? And will he last the season if things don't improve much? The Danny has spent a great deal of money for very little in return regarding players and coaches.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: He will last a season if for no other reason -- and I'm not saying, there is NO other reason -- if for no other reason than his coaching staff are his old pals and his relatives and NONE of them will jump over him if he were fired and there is no point in firing him and getting one of them. As for the TV show, it is my fervent hope that ESPN comes to its senses and cancels us after 3 shows. --Tony
Why my dear Tony..... does that have anything to do w/guaranteed money? --Mike
It might. --Tony
Fairfax:
I am posting early -- not sure if our server will be up...
Anyone with two eyes and a brain in their head knew after the Dallas game on MNF, when Jeff George was sacked and dragged and not one of his teammates came to his defense that he was not valued. Of course this is the same game that Tony's Man Deion got spanked. What is wrong with these people that they cannot see what the casual viewer does? Jeff George has a bad history, he is not leader and has historically brought a very bad mojo to his teams. June Jones & Dennis Green are not stupid men -- they got rid of him like a bad habit. Did The Danny and Coach Marty think they knew better? They look like schmoes now.
Tony -- We are really going to miss the Sunday column. My dad thinks you are the funniest man since Alan King.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Both Wilbon and I and EVERYONE else who comments about sports in town said as early as June that it made NO sense for Jeff George to be the QB in a West coast offense. Jeff George does a lot of things wrong, but one thing he does right is throw deep. I don't know anyone in town other than Marty I guess who ever thought that this offense made sense w/Jeff George. And you could look up our columns and see what we wrote in June and July. --Tony
This is the stupidest possible marriage in football, Marty and Jeff George. The shocking thing to me is that Marty didn't figure this out between March and July! But let me tell you this: while I am no big fan of Jeff George, as my columns will indicate, he probably worked harder at this than he did at anything in his career. He threw the ball far too much in the off-season. He worked w/his receivers ALL the time. He committed himself as much as he knew how to a foreign offense. He shut his mouth. He didn't argue w/the coaches. And he gave it a professional try. He'd never done that before. So I'm blaming 90 percent of this on Marty. And have you seen his quotes today? Did you see those? It's the whole world is wrong and I'm right. You know you can take that position if you've lost buzzer beaters to the Giants and the Eagles, but right now he is 67-3 saying "What? Me worry?" --Mike
The quotes are indicative of the man. He has a very military daring. He is utterly convinced of his rightness and he sat here at The Washington Post at a luncheon in April and at the end of the luncheon and Wilbon and I were 2 feet from him he said " The good news is gentlemen, I've got a plan. Maybe the bad news is that I've got a plan, but I've got a plan." And at that moment, I can't speak for Wilbon, but at that moment, I was comforted by that statement and I thought he was the exact right man for this job. Didn't you Mike? --Tony
I covered the NFL in the 80's when Marty was winning 10, 11, 13 games.... all the time. I got to know Marty a long time ago and he has had a plan and it has always, always, always worked at least until the end of January. --Mike
Yes it has... laughter. I'm stunned by this. I am. I thought the guy was the PERFECT successor for this team to Norv Turner. Believe me, I'm not alone in this thought. If there are guys out there that said they knew all along, they are liars. --Tony
They are liars. --- Mike
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Hey guys we started early today b/c Tony has to leave, but Mike and I will stay til 3 pm or close to it. --Mary
Winchester, Virgnia:
Why did the coach pass up Doug Flutie and Grbac whenhe had a chance to get eithr one of them?
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Why did he pass up Trent Dilfer? Why is Tony Banks on the roster? --Tony
B/c Emmitt Smith didn't want it. --Mike
We don't have ANY IDEA WHY HE DID THIS. --Tony
I have an idea. B/c there are people running fantasy leagues who are logged on reading this chat who would be better at GM than Marty! --Mike
Charlottesville, Virginia:
Lost in all the excitment of Jordan returning as a player is the fact that he was a poor general manager over the last two years. He traded away many of the best players, drafted poorly, and couldn't sign good free agents.Now his solution is to come down from the front office and play on the team he has failed to improve. Don't you agree he has been a very poor GM and his playing is only his latest ploy?
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: What kind of idiot are you? A year ago anybody who said that they could get rid of the contracts that belonged to Juwan, Rod and Mitch would have been a freakin' genius. He got 3 players who were not part of any solution out of Dodge. He got in exchange for them young players who make less money (except for Laettner who is older and makes less money). He has gotten 3 lottery picks and 4 draft picks for a franchise that had gone 8 years w/out getting first round draft picks. So, horrible at what? You mean getting younger, cheaper and perhaps down the line better players? You tell me this: how many times have the Wizards have the #1 pick in franchise history since Jordan got here?
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. --Tony
It happened on his watch. --Mike
I've listened to a lot of this and held my tongue. But I'm not going to give Jordan credit for getting the #1 pick. That's good luck. --Tony
How about the other stuff? --Mike
I'll get to that. I think the jury is WAY out still as Jordan as an executive. I think he did very well to shed the dead weight of Juwan Howard, Rod Strickland (dead weight and poisonous weight) and Mitch Richmond. I have no idea yet what value he got for them. We will know by the end of this year. By and large I would give him passing grades, but I don't yet think that he is somehow Bill Pollian or Jerry West or Pat Gillick. --Tony
I agree w/you. He can't be put in the same story as those guys or others including Ernie Grunfeld who has now done this in 2 places. But for a guy who had one full year on the job, one full season, he... --Mike
He did alright. --Tony
He does pretty damn good, though the jury is still out. --Mike
The one place where Wilbon and I disagree and have always disagreed is over Jordan's ability to recruit free agents. ---Tony
There are none. We'll never find out. --Mike
As charismatic as Jordan may be -- and we learned this this year -- players go for the $$. --Tony
We didn't learn that this year. We learned that 100 years ago. The Wizards are going to have the $$ when people are free. -Mike
You can't do it. If Chris Webber didn't go, you can't do it. --Tony
Then what did Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill do? --Mike
They went from bad situations to what they both perceived as a good rising situation. --Tony
DC Native:
Hey Tony, Mike:
Mike, I actually cut your article from yesterday out(Mike Wolf suggestion)for my board so everyone can see the truth.
You hit it right on the head. Thank you so much....my colleagues and I are faxing it over to Redskins office attention Dan Snyder and Marty.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Thank you. I think they've seen it. --Mike
Lantana Fl.:
Lets say "the danny" flips out and fires
Slopinheimeer, who in your opinion would be a good replacement as coach?
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: It's not going to happen. Stop it. --Tony
Lantana, Florida home of the National Enquirer I hasten to add. --Tony
Why do you know that? --Mike
B/c the drive from Palm Beach to Ft. Lauderdale, you pass it. --Tony
las vegas, nv:
will Tony Banks be the answer for the Redskins?
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: It depends on what the question is. If the question is "Who got benched so that Kent Graham could be the QB?" Then yes, he will be the answer. Tony Banks has 2 games to win one game and if he does not, he will not be the starter by game 5. Agree or disagree? --Tony
I think it depends on the circumstances of the game. If they are 2 games like the 1st 2 games, not on your life will he get a start. But if he were to lose a 37-28 where he threw 3 TDs and 2 picks and scrambled around for some stuff.... --Mike
What do you think the chances of that are? --Tony
I think that Tony Banks can lose closer than Jeff George did. --Mike
I can lose closer than Jeff George. He lost 67-3. --Tony
Marty is down 67-3. Let's put the blame where it belongs. Banks will be better than George for the simple reason that he can move around a little bit. George was ducking the minute a blitzing defender came his way. He was in the fetal position b/c he can't move. --Mike
NANCY's in the House! --Mary
Midland, Tx:
Has Jimmy Raye ever been a successful offensive coordinator? The game plan looks like something from a high school playbook.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Yes. He was a successful coordinator 2 years when when Grbac threw for 4100 yds. Yes. But, it doesn't matter ever. All these guys have been successful at some point. They coached for Marty. He won a million games. He's the 2nd winningest active coach in the league behind Dan Reeves. Marty just didn't fall off of the turnip truck. He and his peeps were doing a good job until they arrived in this town. Now... --Mike
Speechless momentarily... --Tony
I've never been a fan of the KC offense and I wrote this months and months ago, what had KC ever won that Marty was bringing all his people here? But they were successful certainly in KC and in Cleveland. This is stunning. I can not overstate how stunning this is to me. I can't and I do a lot of overstating. I can't overstate it. --Tony
I'm at a loss too. --Mike
Washington DC:
Hey there! Is it just me, or were some of the comments made by Dennis Miller on MNF completely inapropriate? (ie: "The Skins look like they don't have a country" etc.)
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: I was asleep. I'll say this: the way they opened Monday night w/just Al and w/out the hooplah, the very low key way they did it, I thought it was very unfair to put Dennis Miller on the telecast -- and I like Dennis Miller and I thought the choice of him for MNF was good -- but what they did to him on Monday night this past Monday night was like Marty telling Jeff George throw short. It's not his game. --Tony
That's why his butt should not be in there. That's why his butt should not be in the booth. He should be on HBO. If you are not versitile enough to change on the fly and do the job that needs to be done, then get the hell out of the booth. This is what I 've been telling you and your boy Al, who is a completely professional broadcaster. This is what he gets. He kicked the Boomer in there. --Mike
Al wanted me in there. Didn't ya Al? --Tony
Then he should have gotten you. Your boy is a one trick pony. --Mike
Who? --Tony
Dennis Miller. --Mike
He's not my boy. Who you calling boy? --Tony
I'm calling Dennis Miller a boy. In the arena of comedy, he's a man. I love him. In the booth... ugh. --Mike
Washington DC:
You guys are ridiculous. 67 to 3, is the same as 7 to 3. Point differential makes no difference in this league. They are 0-2, and that's the only deficit that they need to get out from under. Two wins and they're and they're at 500 again.
Tell me why Westbrook is still a non-producing punk. That's something I'd like to learn more about.
Honestly, you guys are the best.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: You're a fool. Wait I didn't read the whole thing. I had to stop when I read 7 to 3 is the same as 67-3. Do you think that the players in that locker room feel the same about themselves today as they would if they were down 7-3 on the season? Think about what you are saying? Do you think Jeff George would have been fired if it was 7-3? Do you think the town would be on code red if it was 7-3? Don't be stupid. Did you ever play sports? If you lose a close game, don't you understand there is a different feeling inside from getting your natural #@!&!* kicked. You think Michael Spinks would have felt a little better had he gone to the 12th round as opposed to 91 seconds? Please. --Mike
Michael Westbrook is a coach killer. It's a 3rd and 8 and he runs a 6 yd curl. The history of the Washington Redskins w/him is that he is not nearly what he should have been and what he said he would be. --Tony
Westbrook was told to run that exact route by the coaches in the booth. And, Jeff George was told to throw that exact pattern by the coaches in the booth. --Mike
Then they should be fired NOW. --Tony
So, don't blame George or Westbrook for those stupid 6 yd pass plays on 3rd and 8. As a matter of fact, George called a time out to specifically if he heard incorrectly. They said no, run this play. --Mike
You have been in love w/Westbrook for years. --Ton
ANSWER the question .--Mike
You are blind to fact that this guy is in it for him and he's just not gettin' it done. --Tony
This is what radio guys do when their points are trashed and facts... --Mike
I said fire the coaches. --Tony
They go to other diversionary tactics. --Mike
If you think radio guys do that, TV guys do that too Mr TV man. --Tony
The blame for everything that has happened so far falls on Marty and his boys. All of it. All 67 points of it. --Mike
Laguna Beach, CA:
At this point, what's the harm of throwing Rosenfels into the mix and getting him some experience? What's the difference between going 3-13 with him or 5-11 with Banks?
By the way Wilbon, we missed you at Las Brisas a few weeks ago.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: I agree completely w/this. They drafted this kid, he's reasonably mobile, he had a pretty good camp, at least he knows the plays which is more than you can say for the other 2 QBs and to those who would say you can't rush him along, I would say hey, it's not like they drafted him #1 to be John Elway. Throw him in there. See if he sinks or swims. --Tony
That's ridiculous. --Mike
LAUGHTER..... --Tony
If Michael Vick is ready to play, what makes you think someone named Sage, someone named after a flower is ready to play. Stop. Don't tell me. --Mike
Throw him in. He's a condiment. He'll make the thing tastier. --Tony
And, whas' up in Laguna Beach? Were you really at Las Brisas? I LOVE Laguna Beach. Love it. --Mike
Welcome to the Travel Chat House. --Tony
Have you ever been up to Pelican Hills? --MIke
Wilbon is trying to get hooked up on a golf course. --Tony
There is no hook up there. It's $275. --Mike
Big time TV money for Wilbon! --Tony
What are you doing this for out the kindess of your heart? --Mike
Laughter... --Tony
Charlottesville, Va:
Who caved in the Halpern negotiations, Caps or Halpern (why do the caps seem to always shoot themselves in the skate with dumb stunts like this?)
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Who cares. Aren't you happy he playing? Don't be an idiot. --Tony
Laughter.... --Mike
Alexandria, VA:
Are we overreacting with the Redskins? They haven't played one home game yet and all of a sudden people act like Marty knows nothing about football.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: We didn't say he knows nothing about football. We think the record shows he knows an enormous amount about football. We are STUNNED, STUNNED into disbelief to what has happened so far. --Tony
All I've talked about what a great coach I think Marty is from the day he was hired. But last I checked, the home field is worth 3 points, NOT 32 a week! We are talking about San Diego.... I know they are better and they got Flutie and Norv and the rookie RB, but let's not make San Diego into the 66 Packers. Home field doesn't cover you for 64 points in 2 weeks! --Mike
After your jobs?:
So, guys, are you feeling the heat now that Your Man Deon is a "journalist?" He claims that is what he was born to do.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: This is the 43rd thing that Deion has claimed he was born to do. As far as I'm concerned, Deion was born to provide me w/material to write columns. Deion has apparently been born again so many times, he keeps a stack of birth certificates in the glove compartment. I wish him great luck on CBS. Actually, I think he'll be real, real good. --Tony
Ditka and Deion. You gotta like that. He should have given one of those birth certificates to Danny Almante.--Mike
Fill in your own date Danny. --Tony
Alex:
Hi Gentlemen,
A plea: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay with the Post. I know there is no suggestion otherwise at the moment, but you must know that you two are the BEST sports writers out there. Both of you are articulate, witty, and wonderful analysts. I don't even have a TV, but if I did, print would still be the source for my info (all right, I do listen to the radio). Kepp up the good work.
Oh, and congratulations!
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Get a TV. In case you haven't noticed you can get a big TV for like $100. Get a TV. Watch us. We'll get 3 shows in before we are canceled and one of us will still write for the paper. --Tony
Yeah, TV now costs the same as a DISH! And yet Tony still doens't have one. --Mike
But I have a TV. This guy doesn't a dish. A TV w/out a dish isn't a TV. --MIke
No, a TV w/out a dish is a TV. This guy doesn't have a TV. --Tony
Laughter...
Laguna Beach, CA:
Pelican Hill is the bomb. 36 holes on the Newport Beach coast.....try to beat that. Unfortunately, 3-bills for a round of golf is rough. I've snuck it on the expense report a few times, but you know those people in Accounting......
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Tony is just mad b/c he hasn't been. If he goes one time in his life, he will move there. --Mike
In in immortal words of Donny Osmond:"I was not flying before not flying was cool." --Tony
You are missing out on a lot of golf. --Mike
I know. That's why my car will be a big Caddy where I can take 2 sets of clubs. --Tony
washington dc:
whose ready for dark angel tonight!? Jessica Alba's back!
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: For the record, Wilbon told me not to take any entertainment or fashion questions today, but this one slipped in! Good. --Mary
Jessica Alba. YEAH Baby...... Have you seen those promos? --Mike
She's 20 now. --Mike
She's legal for Wilbon now. Wilbon now thinks he's good for him b/c she's not a teenager. She's not Kwame Brown's age. He's now only 23 years older than her, but she's cracked the magic teen barrier. --Tony
22 year damn it. --Mike
So good luck to the love birds. --Tony
If she's old enough to married, she's old enough to be lusted after. --Mike
Fairfax:
Important question: Will "The Chat House" survive with your impending celebrity statuses?
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Yes, but we will probably have to chat on Thursdays. We'll keep you posted, but yes The Chat House will continue as long as Mary can travel 9 blocks to continue to produce us. --Mike
No prob. --Mary
Alexandria VA:
Tony, did you hear Wilbon go out on a limb and predict the Wizzards would finish the season at 500? Correct me if I am wrong, but he picked the same thing for the skins? Don't they pay him to have an opinion and not be such a WUSS??
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Hey, Germface: .500 is a prediction. Do they wipe .500 records out of the record book? Tell me, on brilliant one, what record the Redskins finished with last year. Stuck...I think it was 8-8. I think the Wizards will win somewhere between 39 and 43 games. If you want to pick 'em to win 50 or 20, knock yourself out. We'll see who's closer at the end of the season, you or me. (Oh, and my 8-8 prediction on the Redskins ain't looking real spiffy at the moment.)--Mike
washington, dc:
tony and mike...let's get real for a second. will one of you guys just admit that michael jordan's comeback is the most ridiculously self-serving move in sports in the last twenty years? that old man is going to get taken to school. how he even expects to compete in this league today is beyond me. thoughts?
also, give marty a chance. it's only 0-2. the skinnies will be 14-2 this year. mark my words. marty is a winner. jeff "the cancer" george is gone...happy days are here again.
keep up the good work. good luck with the tv show!
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: So let me get this straight: you think Michael Jordan coming back to play basketball is a bad idea, but the Redskins are going from 67-3 to undefeated the rest of the season? Isn't a little early in the day to be drinking?--Mike
DC:
Heh Mike: What do mean that if someone is old enough to be married, they are old enough to be lusted after? Who are you? Jerry Lee Lewis of the sporting set? As the Killer said on his wedding day to his 14-year-old cousin: "How did I know she was 14? Hell, she looked 15 to me."
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Very, very funny.--Mike
By the way, I'm not middle aged...somebody thought I was.--Mary.
I can vouch for the fact that she's nowhere close to middle aged.--Mike
Bethesda, MD:
Hi guys (and gals)!
Michael, speaking of choking dogs, how'd you like the late season swoon of the Cubbies? I'm not going to survive long enough to see them even get into the World Series again, much less win it ....
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Did I not tell you many weeks ago, when the Cubs were still in first place, that they were going to choke like dogs? This was the dead solid lock of the century...At least now, I can enjoy the post-season without the anxiety of worrying about whether the Cubs will win a single game in the playoffs.--Mike
reston, 20190:
Mike, don't worry about your Skins prediction. Newsweek said they'd go to the superbowl.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Are you serious? Did Newsweek write that? Oh my God!--Mike
Chicago, IL:
Someone here in Chicago said they should put a bag over the head of Jordan's statue...can you say jealous?
How sweet is it to finally have Jeff Halpern on the ice for the Caps. He was a little Cap and a former ticket holder... he needs to be there if the Caps can advance past the first round and I predict they will THIS season. How do you think Mcphee has done as the GM?, I think he has done a good job for the most part.
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: I like what McPhee has done as GM...though I think it was risky to potentially alienate Halpern, given not just the fact that he's the third best player on the team but he's the best amabassador the team has...he's the best marketing tool the team has. They can't win squat without him. He's the best defensive forward they have, he anchors the most settled line they have. By the way, the best thing McPhee has done yet is punch out that Blackhawks guy awhile ago. He's my hero for that.--Mike
herndon, va:
This is a sad time for me - Tony's Sunday column is out and I'll be driving home every day your show is on ESPN. Don't tell me to tape it - one son is at William and Mary, and the other won't set up the timer unless he gets a car!! I'll just watch the reruns late at night. steve
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Don't despair. The show will be re-broadcast during prime time on, I think, ESPN 2...It may even be on the network later that night...Thanks for caring about it.--Mike
Tysons Corner:
I need some help understanding something. Wilbon and others have criticized coaches like Schottenheimer and Holmgrem for trying to be personnel men as well as head coaches. Why wouldn't a good head coach also be a good personnel man? Isn't the job of a personnel man to evaluate players and determine whether or not they can play. Isn't that also part of a coach's job? Wouldn't the head coach have the added advantage of knowing whether or not a player will fit into his particular system? Please enlighten me. Thanks. Tim
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: No, a good coach isn't necessarily a good GM. In fact, the two have to, for the good of the franchise, work at cross purposes. A GM's job is to care for the entire health of the franchise...that means worrying about tomorrow and five years down the road. A coach's concerns are more immediate, like "Who can get me this one yard now!" The skill sets are different. Bill Parcells was a wonderful coach, but a butcher as a GM. The two franchises he took to the Super Bowl (the Giants-George Young) and the Patriots (Bobby Grier) had strong, successful GMs who did the drafting, trading signing. It's a 16-hour a day job much of the season. With the Jets, where Parcells tried to do it all, they got worse, not better during his tenure.
Question: If Brian Billick is working 16 hours a day, and Ozzie Newsome (Baltimore's GM) is working 16 hours a day...where does Marty find hours 17 through 32? He can't. Look at the way Mike Shanahan has already blown draft pick and draft pick in Denver. He inherited a team that was already put together for the most part, and won...Now that he's in charge of the personnel...let's see. Same with Pat Riley. Went to the NBA Finals in L.A. (Jerry West, GM) and New York (Ernie Grunfeld GM) and in Miami is backsliding, and has never been to the NBA Finals despite starting with Zo Mourning and some good players. The coach blamed Jamal Masburn for losing a playoff series, then the same guy traded him...A strong GM wouldn't have let that happen, and would have forced Mashburn and Riley to get over it and on with it. Instead, mashburn took Charlotte further in the playoffs, stomping Riley in the process if I'm not mistaken. --Mike
College Park, MD:
Tony and Mike,
One good thing about the pitiful Redskins is that they are making my Terps look like world beaters. Coming to the game tomorrow?
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Would love to see the Terps tomorrow, but have to go to NYC..Looking forward to Md.-FSU, which I would never have said three weeks ago.--Mike
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: Okay after that dissertation from Mike, time to go:
Week 4 Picks:
Mike
Kansas City at Redskins: KC. I really wanted to pick the Redskins, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
Tampa Bay at Minnesota: Vikings
Baltimore at Denver: Good game. Denver
Seattle at Oakland: Oakland
Dallas at Philadephia: Philly by 100 pts.
Tony's Picks:
Kansas City at Redskins: Sorry to do this. But KC at the moment.
Tampa Bay at Minnesota: If MN loses, they are done. MN
Baltimore at Denver: These are hard games. Denver
Seattle at Oakland: Oakland
Dallas at Philadelphia: Philly
Bye. --Tony
See you next week. Same time. Same place. --Mary
Bye. See you next week. --Mike
The Hill:
I cannot believe there has been no mention of Ted Leonsis in this chat!
He brought Jagr AND Jordan to DC!!!!!!!!!!!
MCI is the place to be because of the Teddy Bear!
Tony Kornheiser & Michael Wilbon: You are ABSOLUTELY correct and I'm going to talk about Ted Leonsis this weekend on ESPN and I guess one of us should write a column about him. The guy has done fabulous work and is to be commended. DC can't thank him enough. You are right. Thank you. --Mike
