Granted, the Washington Redskins have every right to be totally pumped about today’s beating-in-progress (35-20 with about 10 minutes to go) over the NFC East leading NY Giants. But is a mere takedown of Tiki Barber on the part of DT Joe Salave’a worthy of crawling on all fours followed by lifting his right leg?

It really isn’t fair. Phil Mushnick shouldn’t be forced to write a column on Christmas Eve.
