I became a fan in the early 80's. I grew up in Alexandria during the Smurfs, Hogs, Diesel years. After the Pledge of Allegiance we sang Hail to the Redskins and if the Skins won a game we would not have homework. We even had Redskin days. I had the opportunity to meet Riggo before the Superbowl against the Fins. To this day he is my all time favorite player. No one did it like #44.
I worked in the NFL for a couple of years and during that time I would always try to sneak into the pressbox or talk with other employees who were Skins fans.
I love the Skins no matter what. Yeah there are times they piss me with some of their bone headed moves off the field off but at the end of the day I could not imagine pulling for any other team.

I still have a hard time watching the Skins-Raiders Superbowl highlights (if you call them that).
RFK was the greatest place to watch a game. Nothing like that place during the playoffs.

Shame that you don't see things like this in the schools anymore. Hard to find people that are true to their local teams.
Side note, what'd you do with the NFL if you'd like to share?

It happened so early, i have no recollection. Thank god it happened though. Now, if we can get Dan Snyder and Gilbert Arenas in the single prop cessna with faulty aeronautics, i would be ecstatic(jk).

Anyone who comes all the way from Canada to attend Redskin games is a great fan as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks 53Fan. I appreciate that.... My first game in FedEx I actually bought myself a 53 Washington Jersey, going to miss him.

It is hard not to like MW. Keep the chin up - he may yet return.

That would be sweet to get him cheap.

I like the Redskins logo. Who wouldn't like a picture of a proud and wise warrior? I think we have the best logo in the NFL.

1991 was a magical season for a kid to get into football.
Best fight song ever.
