[QUOTE=Lotus;956611]When I lived in New York my second team was the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets. Now that I live near New Orleans my second team is the Saints.

There is never any conflict or question for me because I know I will root for the Skins even against my second team.[/QUOTE]

[quote=punch it in;956613]Your not on some Jets message board typing " root for the Jets of course"? Are you? Lol.

Of course I am ;)

I've been through a few 2nd favorite teams in my lifetime. The old Browns, the Oilers/Titans. All for a reason.

But you spend 6 years in the NY/CT area and you get immersed in Giants/Pats/Jets news. I kind of embraced the Jets. And it's stuck with me

But the gap between the Redskins and Jets is HUGE for me

Re: Skins/Giants post game thread
 

I dislike all of the other 31 teams except when they play the Cowboys.

I don't understand why you'd share your love.

[B]Question for Smootsmack[/B]: Why did the Redskins let Horton go? Is he in game shape and/or what's he doing these days? I'm asking you as you always have the inside scoop and I think that (unless he really effed up) would be a great addition in the back field.

Thanks in advance.

Chris Horton?

[QUOTE=Monkeydad;956616]Haha, exactly what I was going to reply with. :D


I'm thinking Smoot is actually more of a Jets fan than Redskins fan...he just works here.

Why would I say that? YEARS ago, he said on here that he "doesn't hate the Cowboys". That has stuck in my mind ever since!

How can a Skins fan NOT hate Dallas? :dallas:[/QUOTE]

I was going to say - lol - i have that cheating girlfriend feeling! Lmao.
When i hit quote on my phone ( i dont know lately my phone has been crapping out alittle on this site) i see this whole other thing about Dallas!!!!!
However - i hate the Giants much more than Dallas. When I was a kid - like Danny White era i hated the Cowboys with a passion. Not so much anymore.

Yeah, had a great rookie season, then just dropped off the roster.

UCLA Alum, nasty hitter, good hands, played #48, dreadlocks...um.....

Re: Skins/Giants post game thread
 

He never really improved past that "lucky" 3 TO game he had back in 2008 against the Saints. Not part of the current regime so they didn't really feel any obligation to him. He's still tight with a lot of the guys here and think he works out frequently with them. But no one's really knocking down his door. They did take a quick peek at Kareem Moore earlier this year, but he's got knee issues

I agree that Hortons frosh year was lucky and a fluke. Always knew it - even than. He just always sort of happened to be in the vicinity of every errant ball. Almost like if the qb had thrown a good ball he was way out of position. Lol. That all being said - hes younger and jas to be quicker than doo doo? Not even gonna give him a look?

That's a shame. Appreciate the update.

Redskins, West Ham United, Red Wings and Dodgers. Don't have the energy, time or money for additional *love*.

it's too bad horton's big game didn't happen in the super bowl, he could have larry browned himself a juicy contract out of it. i remember seeing horton jerseys shortly after that game, i always asked myself "why?"

i think his dreads held his good luck, once he rid himself of them, it was all over. but didn't the giants gave him a look this year?

redskins and orioles, don't really care too much about other pro teams. caps and wizards by default.

watched a lot of lakers games last season because that's all they show, but it feels gross to root for them. they're one of those mass love/hate teams like the yankees and cowboys.

Horton also arrived on the scene after the 21 tragedy and seemed like a gift from above. Like "hey you lost 21 but here is a 7th round gem". Wasnt he released by the Giants this pre-season?

Edit: damn phone im not seeing entire posts for some reason until after inreply? Yes must be gints if u were thinking the same thing.
