Nice Work Again: Clinton Portis Wins Third FedEx Ground Player of the Week

I only hope the voting for the Redskins Ticket campaign is as effective as the voting for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week has been. Clinton Portis wins again, his third such award of the season.

One More Honor: Portis NFC Offensive Player of the Month

In addition to Santana Moss’s weekly award, we just got the word as practice ended that Clinton Portis has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. So take all the numbers from the end of the Santana Moss post and add one more to them.

Santana Moss Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

It’s rare that you can point to precisely the play that earns someone a weekly award, but that’s the case here. Santana Moss took part in one special teams play, an 80 yard punt return for a touchdown, and is now the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. It’s the fourth NFL-issued award for [...]

Nice Job Voting: Portis is FedEx Ground Player of the Week

On the one hand, it’s been nice having so many Redskins honored; on the other, that’s a lot less clicking for your tired, [...]

Nice Work With the Voting: Zorn, Horton Win Awards

That gentleman above this paragraph? That’s the Motorola Coach of the Week for last week. Congratulations to Coach Zorn; I emphatically recommend that you celebrate by watching NFL.com’s three minute tribute to the hip-hip-hooray, to Jim Zorn, and to George Allen. You won’t regret it. Also, Chris Horton was named the Diet Pepsi Rookie of [...]

Chris Horton, NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month, in a Box of Tape

Chris Horton seems to be a pretty quiet, affable guy. I remember talking to him during training camp, when he was a seventh round draft pick I had never heard of — and wasn’t even sure would make the team. I was new to this gig at that point and constantly surprised by how down [...]
