The Washington Redskins have huge game this afternoon and it happens to be against it's arch rival the Dallas Cowboys. All the Redskins have to do is win the game and there in the NFC playoffs, Dallas on the other hand win or lose will be the NFC's #1 team in the playoffs and will rest several key members of the team because of the risk of injury. I think the Skins will win this afternoon but it's going to be a close game. The Green Bay Packers will host the Detroit Lions today and like the Cowboys will rest several players, from the reports I have read the starters may play a quarter and thats it, the Packers will be the NFC's #2 seed win or lose. The Richmond Renegades won there 2nd game in as many nights last night at the RC knocking off Columbus 5-3, the Gades were playing 3 players short due to a suspension an couple of injuries. The Gades are now off until Thursday night when they visit Huntsville. Well the gout has returned to my foot this morning, it started feeling pretty sore last night and this morning I had to start taking colchicine again, hopefully this medicine will work as well as it did before. Fellow blogger Keith will heading to Jacksonville later today to see Cavaliers play on New Years Day. Speaking of Cavaliers the UVA basketball team will be back in action today at the JPJ Arena against the Hartford Hawks, the Hawks are 0-7 on the road this year. It looks like we are going to get some more rain today here in CH, the NWS says we could get anywhere from a 1/2 inch to 1 inch of rain here in CH today with higher amounts in some areas and it's going to be very cool as well. In Andrews Bowl Bonanza fellow blogger Scott has overtaken Andrew for the #2 spot in the rankings, Keith is now 6th, Maureen is 7th, Bobby 8th, A.G. 9th, Mickey 10th, Scottie 11th, Joy 12th and Dusty 15th.

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

Fitness Tip
Examine your exercise before you stretch. In some cases pre-exercise stretches may actually increase your risk of injury. However, make sure you DO warm up before exercises, which make your tendons more flexible and maximize blood flow to the muscles.
