This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit. My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy. - Marine Corps Rifleman's Creed.
It goes without saying that the Washington Redskins are a rancid football team. But now the team, read Daniel Snyder, has reached new lows, aside from losses to Detroit and KC.
Here are some of the highlights of the new lows for the Redskins:
Two fans wearing “Dumb” and “Dumber” shirts with photos of Snyder and VP Vinny Cerrato claimed security guards made them invert their shirts.
Fans were prohibited from chanting “We want Gruden.”
Redskin linebacker Robert Henson, berated Redskins fans on his Twitter page. It Tweet: “All you fake half hearted Skins fan can .. I won’t go there but I dislike you very strongly, don’t come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!!”
“half hearted” Henson, learn to tackle and to properly use phrasal adjectives. You not good at either.
Having just completed the paperwork necessary to refinance a home mortgage, it is appropriate to share a few thoughts.
First, there is a reason people hate lawyers, to wit, the preposterous number of signatures required. For a simple refinance, same residence no second mortgage, it required a total of 32 signatures and 14 initials to consummate all of the necessary documents.
Second, why is it essential to disclose one’s race and ethnicity to borrow money?
Third, it was in sum a positive move. The refinance resulted in a 5-1 ARM at %4.5.

P.S. Premier Lending Group, Brian Baker, was very helpful in making this loan happen.
The Trojans get another victory over Notre Dame with a final score of 34-27. The standout player for USC was tight end Anthony McCoy, with 5 receptions for 153 yards.
If you want to know what is wrong with Charlie Weis, one need only to listen to the comments he made coming off the field.
We ran a combination route where Golden got doubled, which we thought he would, over on the right-hand side. He did, over on the right-hand side. We were going to to to a high-low or to the left and when Duval came out of the break he slipped coming out of the break. He was open, but he slipped, slipped, slipped coming out of the route.
Translation:
I am a great coach. I made the correct call. I had an unbeatable scheme. It was all Duval Kamara’s fault.
Again, you can not expect Weis to turn the program around in just five seasons. It has taken a number of head coaches to get their teams to national championships. Nick Saban did it in his 4th season, Pete Carroll did it in his 3rd season, Bob Stoops did it in his 2nd season, and Urban Meyer did it in his 2nd season. Well, those are all less than the five seasons Weis has had, but it is different for Weis. Not sure how it is different, but it is.
It can not be Charlie Weis’s fault, he is just too great of a coach. Remember Charlie Weis making history last season by losing to Navy for the first time in 44 years. That was also Willingham’s fault. Don’t blame Weis.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)—Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis gathered his players after the final practice before the 25th-ranked Fighting Irish face No. 6 USC on Saturday and made a prediction.
“I said, ‘Saturday night, fellas, you’re going to be the lead story in the country one way or another. You’re going to be. So which lead story do you want to be?”’
The storyline he’d probably like to see most is Jimmy Clausen having the game of his life to beat the Trojans, ending a record seven-game losing streak by the Irish to USC to become a leading Heisman Trophy candidate. The one he’d like to see least? Another USC blowout, putting his job in jeopardy.
For a delicious meal of Milk Steak you will need the following ingredients, remember to buy the most succulent meat and the freshest milk :
T-Bone Steak
1 Gallon Boiling Milk
Bring the milk to a rolling boil, then add the steak. It is best served boiled over hard. For a side dish you should consider a bowl of jelly beans, raw.
It will not be the defense, it will not be the history, it will not be the running game or wether when USC plays Notre Dame. The only comparison that will matter is the goldenness of the quarterbacks for the teams. While Jimmy Clausen claims to be the golden boy from SoCal. the photographs clearly demonstrate that Matt Barkley is much more golden.
If he’s got a 100 percent clean bill of health and the phalanx of involved parties agrees he’s fine (coach Urban Meyer said there were 12 people in the room Monday to discuss Tebow’s concussion recovery), do it. No more interested party than Bob Tebow, Tim’s father, said that if his son were cleared to play — and he stressed Thursday afternoon that the decision has not been made — he would not spend Saturday wincing at Tim’s high-impact playing style.
Dreadnaught prediction: If Tebow plays Florida wins, if Tebow is out LSU gets the win. bodog has LSU by 8 points.
Mark Sanchez led his New York Jets into the home of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and came away with a 16-9 victory. Sanchez went 14 for 22 with 163 yards and 1 touchdown.
Carson Palmer lead took his Cincinnati Bengals to Leambeau Field and came away with a 31-24 victory. Palmer went 15 for 23 for 185 yards and 3 touchdowns.
So not everything is bad for USC fans. Just think if Sanchez would have stayed for another year at USC, the Huskies would not have had a chance.
It was a fun game to watch, but it showed how poor the defenses for both these teams are. The final score was Boise State 51 Fresno State 34. Just a few stats: there were 987 total yards gained in this game and Fresno State was 3-5 on 4th down conversions. Fresno went for it on 4th down on 5 different occasions. That is not good defense.
USC quarterback Aaron Corp has been chosen to start the Trojans’ Pac-10 opener against Washington on Saturday, a person briefed on the decision told ESPN’s Joe Schad on Friday.
Freshman Matt Barkley is expected to regain his status as starter when he is healthy enough to resume throwing, the source said. Barkley continues to experience pain in his bruised right (throwing) shoulder, which was injured in the third-ranked Trojans’ 18-15 victory at Ohio State last weekend.
Nobody will need to remind USC coach Pete Carroll what happened last season when the Trojans were feeling good after beating Ohio State.
They came out flat in the first half in the Pac-10 opener at Oregon State, and could never catch up, losing 27-21—the only blemish on USC’s season.
Once again, here are the Trojans, coming off an 18-15 win at Ohio State, ready to go on the road for their Pac-10 opener. This time, it’s against Washington, which ended a 15-game losing streak last week by beating Idaho 42-23.
“I’m ready. I was ready last week. I was ready two weeks ago. I’ll be ready if they need me.”
We shall see who makes the start in Seattle.
While on the topic of USC quarterbacks, it appears one QB may start at another position. The starting punter position is open, and it looks like Mitch Mustain may be just the man for the job. Best of luck to Mustain, he is a stud for coming to the Trojans with so much hype and being willing to do whatever it take to help the team.
Former Trojan quarterback, and current Jets QB, Mark Sanchez has nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week. Go here to vote and check back Friday afternoon to see who wins.
Sanchez recorded the third most passing yards for a rookie in Week 1 in NFL history, completing 18 of 31 passes for 272 yards, one touchdown, one interception and a passer rating of 84.3 in the Jets’ 24-7 win over the Houston Texans. Sanchez led a Jets offense that gained a total of 462 yards and controlled the ball for nearly 39 minutes.
