It only took a couple weeks for NFL players to start acting crazy. Rey Maualuga just got one upped by Deon Anderson who has a warrant out for his arrest.

Anderson went crazy and pulled a gun on a parking valet after accusing him of tampering with his car. The arrest warrant states

On 02/02/10 at approximately 2:16 AM off duty officers working Black Finn (4440 Belt Line) were alerted by staff members of a man with a gun in the parking lot. Officers were pointed to an area where four males and two vehicles were. Complainant Mekonnen Gigi advised Deon Anderson was mad because of problems with his vehicle, and accused him of tampering with the vehicle. Gigi stated Anderson retrieved a handgun from the car and asked him why he was laughing. Gigi stated he was in fear of imminent bodily injury or death when Anderson displayed the firearm. The firearm was recovered from the shrubs nearby, and was
found to be loaded with a round chambered.

The parking lot confrontation isn’t the first time Anderson has made the papers for bringing the ruckus. He and Flozell Adams fought on a team flight after a loss to the Eagles in 2008 when the Cowboys season fell apart. Marcus.

We’d like to credit Marcus Vick for inspiring Anderson but a hat tip to the late Sean Taylor is more appropriate given the circumstances. We’re talking ATVs not home invasion and murder. We’ll leave that to Wilbon. Sean Taylor whipped out some guns on Ryan Hill, a Miami resident who he thought stole his property. At least he thought he was wronged? Marcus Vick just went crazy on some kids in a Burger King parking lot because he’s a Vick and that’s just how they was raised.

I went to a football game and a donkey show broke out. Wow. What can you say about the debacle that is the Washington Redskins? If you’re Vinny Cerrato, you say “Who done what in the who?” and grab Mr. Dan another POM. If you’re a Redskins fan, you’re probably praying for the return of Jack Kent Cooke. I think they’d almost take George Preston Marshall back at this rate, racism and everything.

It appears the Redskins coaching search has finally ended. The Washington Post is reporting that newly hired offensive coordinator Jim Zorn has been promoted to head coach.

“We’re proud that our search was diligent, thorough, and resulted in today’s announcement,” Snyder said in a statement. “Jim’s track record and reputation as a player, great teacher, and as a coach makes us confident that they will translate to success for the Redskins.”

Ironically, Fassell and Williams both told the Redskins that Zorn would be their top choice to be offensive coordinator if they got the head coaching job, sources said.

It would be next to impossible to name all the candidates Dan Snyder has run through so we’ll let BradyFan83 do it for us.

Snyder has turned the Skins into a laughingstock. He’s run through coaching candidates like Travis Henry through baby mamas and come out looking like an ass. Everyone’s turned him down except Jim Fassel who apparently can’t get a job if his life depended on it. Maybe he shouldn’t have blown off the job given to him by his best friend.

Spagnuolo withdrew on Wednesday. Of the remaining candidates, Fassel was the only one to get a phone call that day from the Redskins reiterating their interest and telling him to expect further contact, league sources said. On Thursday, none of the candidates was contacted, according to league sources, but observers at Redskins Park began to notice that Zorn was not at the facility as often as expected and had begun spending more time with Snyder and vice president for football operations Vinny Cerrato, leading some in the organization to believe he was now interviewing to become the head coach.

Bt yesterday, negotiations with Zorn intensified and that evening one of Snyder’s planes was sent to Seattle to pick up Zorn’s family. The Redskins also contacted Fassell yesterday, telling him further communication would be coming today, league sources said.

Did Snyder really think that he would get a top coach when he hired the rest of the staff first? Sally Jenkins laid it out for anyone considering the job. Who would work for Dan Snyder unless they were desperate or were new to the coaching game? No big name coach in his right mind would work for him.

Snyder doesn’t just want a head coach. He wants a yes man and apparently it will be Jim Zorn. I’m not implying that Zorn is a poor choice or that he won’t be a good coach but one has to wonder how long of a leash he’ll have. Norville was fired midseason with a winning record. Marty was canned after taking the Skins to the playoffs.

Snyder’s done nothing to show that he stands by his coaches or players except in the aftermath of the Sean Taylor murder. It shouldn’t take a death to make an owner show some competence and reliability.

This search has exposed to the country to what Redskins fans have known for a long time. When it comes to football decisions, Dan Snyder doesn’t know his head from his ass.

Best of luck to Jim Zorn. He’s going to need it.

As of November 13th, Sean Taylor had 187,064 fan votes which leads all NFC free safeties in ballots cast. The way he was playing this season, he was well on the way to his 2nd pro bowl appearance (last year he was an alternate) but it is great that in the light of the recent tragedy, people are still thinking of him and wishing he was here. Voting continues until December 11th so cast a vote if you haven’t already. Keep the memory of Sean Taylor alive.

The Washingon City Paper picked up on an interesting and tragically hilarious side note at the Sean Taylor funeral in Miami today. That is, that O.J. Simpson was in attendance.

There’s been quite a bit of back and forth about the killing of Sean Taylor this past week. The Deuce has certainly had a lot to say about as have blowhards like Michael Wilbon and Len Shapiro. In our haste to find some sort of logic or explanation behind Taylor’s death, we seem to have forgotten where the focus should lie. Thankfully, we have Ray Lewis for that.

“I understand the magnitude of this game with the Patriots and everything coming in, but the bottom line is, I was more than a friend to Sean Taylor. I was someone he definitely looked up to, and bottom line, it’s unfortunate that situations happen like this. When they do happen like this, some things pull you away from everything else that everybody else wants you to worry about. This right here is life. It doesn’t change. Life is, once it’s gone, it’s gone.

“For me, as a man, there’s a lot that, as a man, I’m going through right now. That I have to ask God for my strength and my faith, to keep pushing on through life, and keep encouraging young men to do the right things here and there. To think about anything else, really, outside of trying to find a way to really deal with my personal feelings, I think it would be very selfish of me to even try to comment on anything without trying to create something that I probably would be making up.

“As a man, I would just ask for you guys, sympathy just to understand that right now is a very challenging time. Not just for me, for the University of Miami family, everybody. You don’t lose a 24-year old kid with that much promise in life like this, it makes you take a step back. For me, it made me take a huge, huge step back. To ask God, what is it that you want me to do, what is it that you want me to stop being selfish about, and things like that.

“If anything, the game is going to take care of itself. I’m just going to get through this weekend, hopefully help a lot of my teammates get through this week as well as a lot of the Hurricane family. We’re just going to go from there. “

I have an idea what you can stop being selfish about. Who’s this supposed to be about now? Oh yeah, what’s his face. I know who I want around when I suffer a personal loss.

“Yeah man, that’s some tough shit you’re going through and you gotta ask God about that but see man, I’m hungry and I gotta eat. My stomach is killing me. You gonna finish that? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Why don’t you ask me about how I’m doing? Brother, I feel pain too but I’m doing something about it. You should too.”

Ray Ray’s usually my boy but a little thought for Taylor’s family might be more appropriate at a time like this. I’m sure he has plenty of other people that look up to him like Ed Reed, OJ Simpson… Damn, I said I wouldn’t go there.

Oh I just got off the phone with God. I know what he wants you to do. He wants you to make better BBQ and rip Tom Brady’s dreamy head off on Monday night.
