If you’re a night owl, there are a few players still competing for jobs when the Redskins play Arizona at 10 p.m. tonight.
My Washington Examiner column discusses a handful of jobs on the line.
Final preseason game proves 2 are enough
The Redskins travel to Arizona on Thursday for a 10 p.m. eastern start. The preseason finale won’t have many starters playing and those that do will barely get sweaty.
My Washington Examiner column says if there’s ever proof that four preseason games are too many, it’s this one. Will anybody watch?

Nats play all the aces
Bryce Harper arrived. Jordan Zimmerman returned. Stephen Strasburg is exiting. The Washington Nationals’ three cornerstones were all active on Thursday.
My Washington Examiner column says Harper appears the real deal and not some snotty kid that has been rumored. He’s more exciting as a prospect than Strasburg because Harper would play every day. Maybe 2012.
YouTube: Mr. Harper comes to Washington
Yes, I do escape Redskins Park once in a while. Examiner reporter Brian McNally and I discuss Bryce Harper’s arrival with the Washington Nationals.

Dress rehearsal now a peep show
With quarterback Donovan McNabb now injured, the Washington Redskins plan to play starters for three quarters against the New York Jets on Friday is shot. So much for a dress rehearsal for the season.
My Washington Examiner column explains how the Redskins are now at a major disadvantage come the regular-season opener against Dallas with McNabb hurt during the preseason.

Time for Haynesworth to go
I tried to be patient. Let things play out. But it’s painfully obvious nothing will change. It’s time for the Washington Redskins to cut Albert Haynesworth.
My Washington Examiner column explains why this is not going to work. The money’s spent. Time to move on.
Get ready for Crust Monday
The Washington Redskins failed their first test.
The offense was crummy; undermined by poor line play. A No. 2 receiver and running back have yet to emerge while the quarterback was erratic. Special teams made mistakes. If not for a standout defense, the 23-3 loss to Baltimore on Saturday would have been flat out embarrassing.
Boy, does this sound familiar? As in most years since the 1991 Super Bowl team.
Crust Monday returns to Washington once more. No toppings on your pizza this time. Just a whole lot of crow from fans talking playoffs after winning the preseason opener against pathetic Buffalo.
Donovan McNabb said this is just what the Redskins need. I’m assuming he means a reality check after been feted following one preseason win. That’s football for you – the rollercoaster of sports.
Help doesn’t seem on the way for the offense. Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, Fred Davis and Clinton Portis are once more than playmakers without anyone else helping. So much for an offseason of adding depth.
