Redskins Name Kirk Cousins Starting Quarterback: Rumors Swirling ...

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden has named Kirk Cousins the team�s starting quarterback going forward, meaning that the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft will be riding the bench, if he indeed remains with the team. 

The rumor is that several top members of the Washington Redskins front office and coaching staff want Robert Griffin III to be traded to another team before the start of the 2015 season, or want the team to release Griffin, but owner Daniel Snyder has shut them down so far and is insisting that the team keeps RGIII. 

Griffin has been the face of the franchise, and he is the only player on the team with national endorsement deals, so it�s no surprise that Snyder wants him to remain with the team. 

There have been rumors that teams such as the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills or New York Jets could be interested in buying low on Robert Griffin III, but the Redskins (who traded five draft picks including four first round picks for the right to draft Griffin in 2012) would take a major loss by admitting that trading up to draft Robert Griffin III in 2012 was a mistake. 

This should be a lesson to NFL teams, if you do not have a talented roster, do not trade all of your future assets to move up in the draft in order to select a quarterback, because you are setting that quarterback up for failure. Without first round picks in 2012-2014, the Washington Redskins were unable to draft highly talented offensive lineman to protect Robert Griffin III or high level playmakers to help him succeed, and you can make the argument that Griffin was repeatedly injured because of lack of protection on the offensive line (he also holds the ball too long, but no protection was a factor).

Ridiculous Ways to Save Money #1

Image
There are many ways to save money with some being more practical and reasonable than others.  This list contains some of the most ridiculous money saving tips: 1. Use public restrooms Why flush your cash down the drain when you can save cash by using a public or work restroom?  By not using your own toilet, you�ll save about 1.5 to 4 gallons per flush depending on the age of your toilet.  If this isn�t a viable option and it�s an emergency, at least consider not flushing when it�s only number 1.  If it's yellow, let it mellow.  If it's brown, flush it down. 2. Shower at the gym In the spirit of saving water at home, take advantage of your expensive gym membership by showering at the gym.  As an added bonus, you�ll also be able to cut back on shampoo and soap purchases. 3. Apply makeup for free at a store This one is for the ladies.  Once you�ve showered at the gym, you�ll probably want to enhance your appearance with some makeup.  The cosmetics in...

9 best cash back credit cards When you shop with your credit card, you can earn cash back for your purchases.  I personally prefer cash back credit cards since I can use the cash for whatever I want vs. a rewards card that forces you to use it in specific categories (i.e. travel).  I use the Fidelity Investment Rewards American Express Card , which offers 2% flat cash back on all purchases with no annual fee.  The chart below contains the 9 best cash back credit cards.  I haven�t included Annual Percentage Rates (APR) below since you should always pay off your credit card in full each month and that should not be a factor in choosing a card.

Are you stepping enough each day? Too few steps could cost you.

The FitBit Flex Most of us wake up in the morning, walk to the kitchen to prepare coffee or breakfast, get in the car, drive to work or school, sit down at our desks, walk to lunch, return to our desks, drive home, prepare dinner, and sit down at the television before going to bed.  Think about your day and how much you walk around.  If you�re lucky, you might clock 4,000 to 5,000 steps a day with this routine.  Many of our modern conveniences reduce the need to be active, and we�re paying a heavy toll.  The Disney movie WALL-E drove this point home. There�s more to net worth than just money As a pure definition, net worth is just about the value of your assets less your liabilities, but I�ve always believed that building a large net worth and living a healthy lifestyle are closely related.  When you live an unhealthy lifestyle, such as when you smoke, drink excessively, exercise infrequently, or make poor dietary decisions, you�ll lack the energy and the driv...
