McNabb a Viking

McNabb's Tenure in Washington Ends

It looks like McNabb is heading to Minnesota at least according to a tweet by one of the QBs of the Minnesota Vikings


cponder7: Excited to have McNabb join. Will learn a lot from a Pro Bowler. But that doesn't mean I'm not still fighting to start week 1!

This is the classic case of the Redskins acquiring assets at a high price as they traded a 2nd round pick for him at around this time last year. While McNabb did an adequate job considering the Redskins offensive line was terrible, his play was not stellar and his attention to detail was seen to be lacking by Mike Shanahan.

Let's hope that the Redskins have learned not to trade hig draft picks when they are rebuilding for the future as the offseason progresses.

In the meantime, the Redskins will enter the season with Rex Grossman and Jon Beck. The latter was turned away by Redskins security at Redskins Park since they did not know he played QB for the Redskins.

If You Haven't Had Enough Caffeine

It keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger...


The new Starbucks trenta coffee has been unleashed. It's 31 ounce size serving is bigger than the average stomach. And if you were already getting a venti coffee, it only costs an additional 50 cents to supersize it a bigger portion.

I already know one person who has had two servings in one day. For you math majors out there, that calculates to a grand total 62 ounces of coffee. An average person is supposed to consume 64 ounces of water a day. And theoretically, you are supposed to drink twice as much water to stream the coffee out of your body. So that's a grand total of 188 ounces of water that my friend should consume to remain hydrated.

Will this lead to success for Starbucks? I guess people may try out the new size portions, especially those who cannot phantom rising from their beds without the aroma of coffee. It could also make for some rapid conversations to follow at your local coffee shop.
