The Washington Redskins must now turn their attention to the Chicago Bears
after stumbling in their season opener yesterday.
But that 17-to-14 loss to the Eagles isn't that easy to forget.

(( With their two year quarterback controversy now in the past, the Redskins
were set to officially begin the Gus Frerotte era. But after receiving a
rousing welcome, he almost suffered a concussion. Porous and occasionally
non-existent pass protection had Frerotte running for cover all day.
((GUS FREROTTE/SACKED THREE TIMES:))
Much of the blame for the lack of protection falls in the lap of first year
Redskins Shar POurdanesh, the 6-6 , 318 pound tackle was beaten consistently by
former Boston College star Mike Mamula.
((SHAR POURDANESH/REDSKINS OFFENSIVE TACKLE:))
Despite holding the Eagles to just 17 points, and pitching a shutout in the
second half, the Redskins defense also has some improving to do after letting
Rodney Peete throw for 257 yards and 2 TDs in the first half.))

The place to be in Buffalo today was Raymond Holcomb's backyard.
What makes his labor day event so special you ask?
How about a full concert performance by John Mellencamp.

Twenty five year old Holcomb entered a Big Backyard Bar-be-cue contest
given by VH-1.
He won the rock star for an afternoon and some other picnic prizes-- like
a state of the art grill and an outdoor sound system.
