We moved to Memphis from the DC area when I was seven. I wasn't really a football fan then, I remember playing with my toys in the living room while my dad watched the Skins. I wasn't really into watching sports on tv, much like any youngster back then I wanted to be outside with my friends on Sunday afternoons.

I remember watching a Redskins-Cowboys MNF game, can't remember if we won or loss, but I do know that I fell in love with that team. Gibbs, Riggins, Theisman, Joe Washington (could there have been a better name for a Redskin?), Art Monk, Green, those were the guys I rooted for. When the Cowboys offensive line all stood up and reset, the Skins d-line shifted too and I was hooked. Ever since, it's been all Skins for me.
