Wake Me When Something Changes

WHAT'S LEFT to say about the Redskins?

They stink. They are a joke. And, yes, they are going to fire their coach — maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday soon.

At least DeAngelo Hall's being faked on by Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme Sunday saved a legion of fans from dreaded false hope. Let's face it: Washington should have beaten Carolina. It ought to defeat winless Kansas City next week, too.

If the Redskins were able to hold a 15-point lead, we'd be wondering whether they could be 4-2 soon enough. No one is delusional enough to think the team is good, but maybe it could have improved as the season — buoyed by a fast start — went along.

There won't be any such talk. Expect more rants like the one from Fox's Jimmy Johnson that lit up the screen before Sunday's loss.The former Cowboys coach said it's time to blow up the Redskins and start from scratch. You have to love national analysts who reach conclusions months after they are obvious.

Even after a coaching change, all that will be different at Redskins Park is the face explaining the losses.

So, Swengali is giving the Redskins a rest for a while. There are far more interesting teams and story lines to talk about while the Redskins spin into oblivion.
