Somewhere under a big tent out in the Midwest sits a group of clowns who get together after their circus performances and make fun of the guy who has the job of the human cannonball.
That’s because no matter how horrendous one person’s job may seem to be, there is always someone else who seemingly has it far worse.
Nowadays, forlorn Washington Redskins coach Jim Zorn must feel like that lonely human cannonball.
What exactly was Zorn’s job when the Redskins hosted the Eagles at FedEx Field on Monday night? It certainly wasn’t the same one that 31 other fortunate men who call themselves coaches in the National Football League have on a weekly basis.

Another meltdown by the New York Mets gave the Washington Nationals a rare winning streak.
With the help of two wild throws on potential double-play grounders in the eighth inning, the 103-loss Nationals scored the tiebreaking run in a 4-3 win over the Mets on Tuesday night for their second straight win.
“It was kind of embarrassing to watch that kind of play — especially at that time of the game,” Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. “Poor, poor, poor defensive play.”
With one out and the scored tied at 3, Mike Morse walked against Nick Green (1-4) and Justin Maxwell ran for him. Cristian Guzman grounded to shortstop, but former Nationals infielder Anderson Hernandez’s toss to second was off target, allowing Maxwell to advance and Guzman reached first.

Following years of a dormant attack defined by conservative game plans and traditionally meager results, the Ravens’ offense has suddenly emerged as a potent early-season juggernaut.
The undefeated Ravens (3-0) rank second in the league in total offense after three games with an average of 430.3 yards per contest, eight yards less than the New Orleans Saints.
And they’ve been perfectly balanced, ranking fifth in passing offense with an average of 273.7 yards and fifth in rushing offense with a 156.7 average.
Their latest victim was the Cleveland Browns’ shoddy defense, piling up 479 yards of total offense during a 34-3 victory Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

It was unthinkable for the Washington Redskins to lose to the St. Louis Rams at home for the second year in a row, right?
Serenaded with boos as their long drives dissolved into field goals rather than touchdowns, the Redskins just couldn’t put away the Rams on Sunday. Washington never did reach the end zone, but scoring points three at a time was enough for a 9-7 win.
Shaun Suisham kicked field goals of 21, 28 and 23 yards as the Redskins (1-1) had four drives of more than 60 yards that faltered inside the 10. They put the game away — more or less — with a 78-yard drive that ended with a failed fourth-and-1 from the 2 with less than 2 minutes to play, leaving the Rams (0-2) with too far to go and not enough time to get there.
