To former Eagles running back Ryan Moats, who rushed for a career-high 126 yards and a franchise-record three touchdowns for the Texans last week in their win over Buffalo. Moats, a third-round pick by the Eagles in the '05 draft, lasted just 2 years with the team, mainly because he was fumble-prone. Ironically, he got a chance to play last week because starter Steve Slaton was benched after losing five fumbles in the first seven games.
Thumbs down
To Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who deserves a lifetime achievement thumbs down for the pathetic way he's run his football team. Forget for a moment what he's done to the awful product on the field with his meddling and stupidity and bad hires. This arrogant jerk also has had the audacity to sue more than 100 Redskins fans who, thanks to this stinking economy, defaulted on multiyear contracts to purchase premium seats at his money factory, FedEx Field. Then, a couple of weeks ago, in an obvious attempt to prevent people from bringing "Die Danny Die" signs to games, he announced a ban on all homemade signs, claiming - get this - that they are a safety hazard. Two weeks ago, at the Eagles game, they took a sign away from a woman who was just trying to send best wishes to her husband in Afghanistan, who was going to be watching the nationally televised game over there.
