  • Redskins want RG3 to take it slow

    John Keim

    Updated: Wed, Apr 24, 2013

      The Redskins like that Robert Griffin III remains ahead of schedule. They just want to make sure he stays that way — and they’ll do so by making sure he’s not going too fast. In January, Griffin underwent ACL reconstructive surgery and also had his LCL and MCL repaired in his...

  • To Five: Second-round draft picks by Mike Shanahan

    John Keim

    Updated: Tue, Apr 23, 2013

    It's not relevant what the Redskins have done with recent second-round picks; it is relevant what Mike Shanahan has done, considering he's the one in charge. Only two of his 14 second-round picks in Denver and Washington has made the Pro Bowl while playing for him. Shanahan has selected just one...

  • Donovan McNabb is no fan of Redskins' zone read option offense

    John Keim

    Updated: Tue, Apr 23, 2013

    Maybe it's a genuine sentiment. Maybe it's clouded by bitterness stemming from his one (failed) season in Washington. Regardless, former Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb is not a fan of the zone read option. In fact, he makes it seem as if the Redskins run it because coaches want to enhance...

  • In Tampa Bay, not even Darrelle Revis is an island

    John Keim

    Updated: Mon, Apr 22, 2013

    The benefits will be obvious. Darrelle Revis instantly will improve Tampa Bay's pass defense, perhaps elevating the Buccaneers into one of the better units in the game. Revis, along with fellow newcomer safety Dashon Goldson, will make a difference. That is, if Revis is healthy and returns to...

  • Pacers' Paul George a complete player

    John Keim

    Updated: Mon, Apr 22, 2013

    Before the NBA Draft three years ago, an Eastern Conference scout told Yahoo! Sports this about Paul George: "In five years, Paul George will be the best player to come out of this draft." That will be debatable, but it also will be a worthy discussion. And when you hear criticism on how...

  • Grading Mike Shanahan's draft classes with the Redskins

    John Keim

    Updated: Sun, Apr 21, 2013

    The draft record is good. Mike Shanahan's first three Redskins drafts produced impact starters with their first picks, players who not only can reshape the future of the franchise like Robert Griffin III, but also ones who could be long-time quality players like Trent Williams and Ryan Kerrigan....

  • Redskins get five prime-time games in 2013 schedule

    John Keim

    Updated: Thu, Apr 18, 2013

    The NFL must have two strong thoughts regarding the Redskins this season: Robert Griffin III will be healthy, and the Redskins will be good. Based on the schedule, that's the main conclusion to draw. The Redskins will play a franchise-record five games in prime time in 2013, starting with the...

  • Redskins return to prime time: 2013 schedule announced

    John Keim

    Published: Thu, Apr 18, 2013

    The Redskins have returned to prime time. Thanks to an NFC East division title and the emergence of an explosive offense led by dynamic quarterback Robert Griffin III, the Redskins will play five games in prime time this season, starting with a Monday night opener at home vs. Philadelphia....

  • Who's the NHL MVP? Depends on your definition of valuable

    John Keim

    Updated: Wed, Apr 17, 2013

    This debate would have seemed silly a month ago -- maybe even a few weeks ago. But now? It's legitimate. With less than two weeks remaining in the NHL season, it's worth asking: Does Sidney Crosby still deserve to be the MVP? Or is, for example, Alex Ovechkin a better candidate? Crosby was...

  • Where Geno Smith will be drafted remains unclear

    John Keim

    Updated: Wed, Apr 17, 2013

    He long ago earned the honor as the most scrutinized quarterback in this year's draft. And with a week remaining before the NFL Draft, it's still difficult to know exactly where West Virginia's Geno Smith will be selected. There were early reports he would fall into the 20s. Then came reports...
