My top 20, although it probably won't be as much of a headline as a Redskins star, includes Godsmack, Non Point, Atmosphere, Three Days Grace, FloBots, Authority Zero and Britney Spears' sex tape audio.

Didn't hear about that one? Well, come try and steal my IPod......or make me an offer I can't refuse.

-----------------------------------

Here is a quote that came from quarterback Donovan McNabb after the Skins win in Philadelphia, he obviously hadn’t figured out just how badly his team had been beaten last Sunday.

"Not to take anything away from them, but there is no way this team is better than us."

There are a lot of reasons why the Redskins are better than the Eagles.  Try to name your top three -- here is mine.

  1. No mistakes. Jason Campbell is interception-free, setting a Redskins record for number of passes completed without a pick.
  2. Clinton is back. Portis finished with a season-high 145 rushing yards and a touchdown against an Eagles defense that was supposed to be one of the league’s toughest.
  3. Fourth-quarter dominance. Washington has outscored opponents 34-10 in the fourth quarter, the point where most games are won.
