Food, Water, REDSKINS

That's what life is like in DC nowadays. This city has gone over the deep end for this football team. I was on break from college the last time the Redskins were in the playoffs and won a game. It wasn't this crazy.

You have to understand that 'Skins fans are very loyal. Even when the Redskins are terrible, and we've been terrible for the better part of 13 years, we still cheered them on.

When we went 0-5 under Schottenheimer, and then won our next 5, there wasn't a 'Skins fan who didn't think we were going to make the playoffs. That's how we are. The Cowboys had beat us some many times in a row, but yet, when Cowboys week came, we always managed to find something to say to get on Cowboys fans.

So this year, we started pretty hot and people started getting excited. You started seeing more Redskins hats and even some flags on cars. Then we lost 3 in a row. While there was a sliver of hope for the playoffs, I never believed they'd make it. As a matter of fact I was going to write a blog about how they hurt my feelings again.

Then they won at St. Louis. Ok, they're not the same Rams, but watch, I know they gonna mess up in Arizona. They almost did, but they didn't. Here comes Dallas week. Not really thinking about the playoffs, because it's the Cowboys. 35-7 and things around the league fell into place. All we have to do is win our last two and we're in the playoffs? Man, the Giants and the Eagles, we can't do it. NFC East is too hard for that.

Thank God for Santana Moss. It was his show against the Giants. Now on to the Eagles. Scared to death of them. Brunell's a little banged up, their defense is tough and Ramsey might have to play. Yeah, that Patrick Ramsey aka "A turnover waiting to happen." Philly got the lead at halftime...man...I KNEW I should've gone to church today, now God ain't gonna let the Redskins win. Turnover...Yes...Clinton Portis...TOUCHDOWN. Oh...what is Andy Reid thinking...he's putting Koy Detmer in the game...Fumble...Touchdown Sean Taylor...Detmer's at again...interception...ballgame...PLAYOFFS.

So now we're in Tampa; in the stadium that gave birth to the 3 game losing streak. The Defense played like champions and we snuck out of there with a win. Shoot now we got Seattle. Not only did we beat them this year, but, we ALWAYS beat the Seahawks. Uh-Oh...calm down, we ain't in the Super Bowl...

YET!

To the other end of the spectrum: Disgruntled Cowboys' fans and one in particular. There's a chance that there will be another guest appearance from Silas very soon, but he's waiting for the Redskins to lose. He's a little salty, as you can imagine, that the Redskins are in the playoffs and the Cowboys are watching us so he's written a little something about 'Skins' fans. I guess he's a little irritated right now, but he CHOSE to be a Dallas fan in DC, you get what you deserve for that kind of blasphemy. Comeuppance, thy name is Chris Cooley. Sorry Sal, or should I say Salty Sal.
