Why I Love the Washington Redskins - A Brief Essay

Man I swear I read this thing about 5 times. You, your family, and your wonderful mother will be in my prayers. Tell your mom that she HAS to get better because she has a Super Bowl victory to celebrate in February !!!

Keep your head up Brud !

I've decided to "Sticky" this thread. I want to make sure everyone reads it.

wow......

Great post brud. Besst wishes to your mother and your family.

great post.....you could have said it better. I blame my parents for making me a redskin fan lol. i was sitting in front of the tv watching the 'skins with my dad at age 3. went to my first game at rfk at age 6. I love my redskins win lose or draw....I am starting to work on my 3 year old. she loves to watch me play football on xbox. I took her with me to redskins training camp last year in a redskins cheerleader outfit....she was on channel 4 's news as the youngest redskin fan.

oh i fogot the most important thing....best wishes to your mom and family. I started thinking about the redskins and got distracted by how big of a redskin fan i am.

Brud, great thoughts and my thoughts are with you and your mom as well. We are about the same age and I lost my mom to cancer about 6 years ago. Your essay reminded me how "down in the dumps" I was when Spurrier walked out on us and I wondered like you "Who in the world would possibly want to come to Washington now!!!?" It is amazing how I have long since forgotten those memories of "lost hope" and how Gibbs has brought them back. What a wonderful time to be a Redskins fan! I'm praying for your mom.

great article brudlee...i,m ready to smell and taste the champagne again.
my taste buds are dry but i,m managing.
we will be out to prove the boyz at espn wrong yet again.

prayers go out here as well brud,i,m embraced by redskins too and thats a good thing.

great post.

excellent post brud... prayers are with your mom... our mothers share the same birthday too (just a year or so a part).

Awesome post! MY thought and prayers are also with you mother. I love being a redskins fan. Somehow to me they seem like the team in the NFL that still has morals. Sure sometimes we goof (ST) but there are no TO's round here. I was bred to be a redskins fan by my grandfather. I somewhat remeber watching the last SB win when I was like 6 or 8. Now my kids are diehard fans! The tradition contunues.
