    DALY: Redskins' QB situation is desperate, uncertain

    What the Washington Redskins are looking for in their quarterback search, what they desperately need their next QB to be, is something that doesn't really exist: A Sure Thing.

    Shanahan's pedigree, larger market could tempt Manning

    Imagine this: Peyton Manning coming out of the tunnel at FedEx Field this September, poised to lead the Washington Redskins. Does that sound too good to be true? It might be, but that won't stop downtrodden Redskins fans from dreaming.

    DALY: NFL on TV was more than a political football to Nixon

    The current occupant of the White House is a basketball guy. Other recent Leaders of the Free World have been partial to golf, jogging and brush clearing. Not Richard Nixon. Nixon loved football — any kind of football.

    All things being equal, parity rules in NFL

    In today's NFL, the adage about any team making the playoffs can win it all is more than just a cliche. Half of the past 10 Super Bowl champions were seeded third or lower in their conference.

    Waiting for justice in slaying of Redskins Sean Taylor

    While the sporting world counts down the hours until the start of Sunday's Super Bowl, family and friends of onetime Washington Redskins superstar Sean Taylor face a much longer wait for justice to be done.

  • New York receiver Devin Thomas (15) had plenty of reason to celebrate after his two fumble recoveries - including this one in overtime - helped the Giants defeat the San Francisco 49ers. Thomas never found his niche in two-plus seasons with Washington. (Associated Press)

    Giants' Thomas finds right time to contribute

    Devin Thomas caught three passes for 37 yards this season for the New York Giants. But without the fourth-year wide receiver, a player who never realized his potential in Washington, the Giants likely aren't playing in Super Bowl XLVI Sunday evening against New England.

    Who would have guessed when the league resumed business in July that Albert Haynesworth, the disinterested defensive tackle, would con not one but two teams — New England and Tampa Bay — into paying him a salary?

    DALY: If chips fall just right, Peyton Manning's place could be D.C.

    Picture Peyton Manning in a Washington Redskins uniform. Just entertain the possibility, even though there's no telling if it'll ever happen. Would he have to slip Terrence Austin a few bucks to gain proprietary rights to the number 18? So many thoughts rush through your head.

  • The Redskins' draft in 2011 largely paid dividends, with significant contributions from most of their picks. Roy Helu (top left/Preston Keres/Special to The Washington Times) set a franchise rookie record with three straight 100-yard games.; linebacker Ryan Kerrigan (top right/Andrew Harnik/The WashingtonTimes) returned an interception for a touchdown against the Giants in the opener; Jarvis Jenkins (bottom left/(Preston Keres/Special to The Washington Times) tore an ACL in the preseason but figures prominently in their plans and running back Evan Royster (bottom right/Preston Keres/Special to The Washington Times) was a workhorse down the stretch.

    Redskins' Campbell has earned merit badge in scouting

    Scott Campbell sat alone on the metal bleacher in Section T, Row 29 of Ladd-Peebles Stadium last Wednesday overlooking the South team's Senior Bowl practice through a pair of dark sunglasses. Wavy brown hair peeked over the rim of the same burgundy visor that distinguishes him on the Redskins Park practice fields each summer during training camp.

    DALY: Reliving Redskins glory

    Has it really been 20 years since the Washington Redskins last played in the Super Bowl (and won, if memory serves)? Seems like 120. Seems like they must have worn leather helmets and operated out of the single wing, maybe even traveled to the game in Pullman cars. Are you sure Chip Lohmiller didn't dropkick?

    Morris brings football passion to Washington

    Raheem Morris' voice boomed across the defensive backfield during a 6-on-7 passing drill at Senior Bowl practice. The charisma and energy that helped propel him to an NFL head coaching position at age 32 has been on display since Monday's start of his tenure as the Redskins' defensive backs coach.

    Washington Redskins strong safety LaRon Landry is proceeding toward free agency with hopes of avoiding surgery on his left Achilles tendon, coach Mike Shanahan said Monday after overseeing a Senior Bowl practice here.

    Hey, Indianapolis. A Manning will be playing in your Super Bowl, after all.
